Following the example Of our patriotic fore

Believing fearful crisis has arisen in the pro-

led, do solemnly demonstrate against the pas
sage of bill by the House of Representa-
tives, already passed by the Senate of the o.

slavery.
Resolved That while as individuals we OK
press our decided adherence of the system of
slavery as it exists at the South, we disclaim
the right or wish to interfere with the legal
rights or domestic regulations of the people of
the Slave States.
Resolved; That while we would leave Sla-
very within prescribed limits, to live or to die,
as the result might be, we hereby declare our
fixed and unalterable purpose to resist; by any
means in our power, its further spread over
common territory now free of its baleful influ-
ence.

HovEYs MAGAZINE OF HORTICULTURE, &c.,
for March is received. The great leading char
acteristic of this work is the extent, accura-
cy, and reliable character of the information it
disseminates in relation to fruit, especially of
new varieties. The present number contains
an interesting article from the pen of the ed
itor ON the question, "does our climate inju-
riously affect foreign fruits J" 1t argues that
the greater dryness Of our climate does injuri-
ously affect some of the finer varieties of for
eign pears, and proposes remedy for it.
There may be truth in this theory butt fit is So
there are two sides to the question. Different
varieties, require different soils and different
degrees Of heat, moisture, &c, and if the dry
ness of our climate injuriously affects some
varieties it is equally certain that it favorably
affects Others The Beurre Bose, for instance,
which is 50 uniformly fine here on standard
trees. and in almost all situations, can be sue
cessfully cultivated in Europe only on pyram-
idal or espalier trees, and in warm and Light
soils. So it is of many other kinds. This dis
cussion will be useful, as it viii direct atten-
ton to the different requirements of the diff
ferent varieties, and induce the specific cul-
ture and treatment adapted to each.
The number also contains an interesting ar
ticle On varieties offruit, suggested by the ex-
hibitions at Boston during the year 1853, by
Hon. J. S. Cabot, President Of Mass. Horti-
cultural Society, and descriptions with figures,
of six varieties of pears, viz: Triomphe de Jo-
dOigne, Beurre Benoist; (erroneously spelled,
