rTbe New Market VaHey Democrat

The New Market TaHey Democrat is
severe upon the Richmond Enquirer, on &C
count of its sentiments on the N. Y. Hards.
The Democr@l says, if the South repudiate
Dickinson, "she would be guilty Of the basest
inpratitude, and in another dark and trying
hour, would find herself without a friend north
of Mason and Dixon's line." "The political
horizon" says the Democrat, sis darkened,
and it will take very little to cause it to dark
en- still more, and spread dismay snd havoc
in the ranks of the democratic party. But
very few sustain the course Of Mr. G2thrie,
and when the Enquirer undertakes to con
denim the Hards, it is not representing the
sentiments Of Virginia"

0The Mew York Express refers to the
Joy OF the Abolitionists Of the North at, what
is called "the crushing Of Cobb" "the an
utilization of Foote," and "the laying out o
Jerry Clemens'-men, in their day, who
saved Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi,
from State Conventions, called to rend the
Union !" and adds that "that sneered at
Congressional Compromise Pledge, which the
INDUSTRIOUS Clay headed--is yet the foun da-
ton OF great party, which, when the four
years of Pierce's Administration is over, will
carry the country. 1t is not so easy to crush
Cobb, annihfiate Foote, lay out Clemens, or
their compatriots Of 1850, in the North"

fluence Of commerce:
The spirit Of the age is Commerce.. and its
temple shall BE- reared in every land But
this spirit Of the age suggests dangers and
warnings % we'll as hopes and gratulatioDs.
The rspidity Of commercial agencies has ac-
CELEBRATED everything they touch Men are
more impatient than when the wheel Of inter-
course went slow, and the Argossy made one
voyage . yea. Haste to be ricb-haste to
realise fortune. is dangerous snare to hon
or and to honesty. Beware, then. Of that
idolatry which shall end 10 shame. Beware
aof the love Of money. which is the root Of
al evil" God has made Commerce the pio-
neer to bis religion. He has purposes higher,
holier, and more blessed than to promote
merely tho temporal comforts Of mankind -
The merchant should be mindful Of God
designs snd providence The merchant should
believe that be is minister and stewart of
the mysteries Of God in his appointed sphere
and measure. Let him, then, cease to be .
mere shopman, . trader, selfish aecumula-
tor Of filthy lucre But let bin be the States
man. the Philanthrapist, the Christian -
The fate of Tyre awaits those cities which,
like Der. we're pulled up with pride Of wealth
and iullncss Of bread, forgetful Of Him who
giveth US power to get wealth" Let us
hope better things; for as commerce has
wrought exploits in civilising the world SO
ought we to expect her to fulfil her mission
in helping the Church to christianize the
world. Thus shall the poets idea be realized
in merchants Of our day that accomplished
merchants are accomplished men," Let me
concludes with DR.. Young's concluding verse
10 his ode oc the merchant:
sMerchant! Religion is thy care,
To grow as rich as angels are,
To know false coin from true--to sweep the mnin,
That mighty stake secure beyond
The strongest tie Of field or fund
Commerce gives gold Religion makes it gain"

Of fixed facts in agriculture. Though cal

facts are Of general application:

%. To preserve meadows in their produc-
tiyeness it is necessary 70 harrow them every

to their long provender, should receive succu-
lent food morning and night.
26. Full complement Of tools and imple-
ments Of husbandry are intimately connected
with the success Of the husbandman.
81 Capital is not only essential to sgricul-
tural success. but can be as properly used IN
farming as in any other occupation.
%. Punctuality 10 engagements is neces-
sary to an agriculturist as it is to merchant.
20, Every husbasdman should carefully
read and digest matters connected with bis
business; bis success being as dependent upon
a full knowledge Of it, principles and details
as is that of the lawyer or physician, with .
knowledge Of the science Of law or physic,
80. Wheat, rye, oats and barley. should
never follow each other in course Of rotation |;
there should always DO an intervening hoe
crop between them.
81. Weeds should never be permitted to
mature their seed on the farm. but be pulled
up or cut down as often as they show them
selves. such heing the only effectual method
Of Graduating them. To ensure this result.
the ground should be planted in corr. and that
kept clean.
