AGRICULTURE AND COMMERCE.

General Dearbon has made some Investigations
regarding the comparative profits of trade and
agriculture, which give results quite favorable to
the latter a1'..-.... .- ts.-.
He says that he has ascertaned, after much time
and research that ninety-seven out of every hun
,dred who obtained their livelihood by buying and
selling failed or died insolvent. He then submit
ted his calculations to old merchant of great
experience who confirmed it in every particular.
The statement, however appeared to me so start
ling so appalling, that was induced to examine
it with much care, and | regret to say. found it
true, | then called upon friend of mine, great
antiquarian, a gentleman always referred to in all
matters relating to tho city of Boston, and he told
me that in the year 1900, he took memorandum

ANSWER OF MR. ELLIS.

Boston, June, 3, 1871
My DEAR SIR-For the generous, werm and
kind expression of feeling conveyed i'll the resolu-
ton of the Convention and the note you have done
me the honor to send with it, accept my hearty
thanks. l assure you they gave me the greatest
pleasure l shall keep them as tokens from those
whose approval is itself reward.
Those who got the man did not gain the cause.
Hitherto, in the main, it has not been so Years
ago, in the days of Latimer, went for the first
time to Il trial--or to Il man-catching-at the jail.
That would not do now. Such things as we had
to bear last week will not be borne much longer.
1t does one good to breathe in the fresh air and
see how bright and pure almost every thing looks
Just after this unexpected tempest. Nobody look
ed for this. When poor Burns was first brought
up, we protested against the hot and utter disre-
gard of law or deceucy with which he was to be
sent Off. No one who ever gave a just thought to
the laws could repress his indignation at what was
going on. Any man would have interposed, had
it been strange dog to be shot. would not have
believed that anything could do what see has been
done. At first things were inclined to 60 after
the old sort. But people feel they have borne too
much. -
think the chief cause of this is that they now
see, and happen just at this crisis to have it some
what forcibly impressed upon them, that they have
been cheated and betrayed; but it matters little
what the cause is that starts the slide; once in mo-
ton, it must on. This is only another proof that
there is no staying it,
am happy to have you feel that my poor efforts
have done something for the good cause.
am, with great respect,
Your friend L. NJ. ELLIS.

BOSTON, June D, 1904.
DEAR SIR--I have just received your very kind
note, enclosing the resolutions of the Now England
Ant-Slavery Convention in compliment to Mr.. Ellis
and myself for efforts in behalf of the fugitive
Burns.
However much we may differ on certain points
and modes, trust nothing will ever pass under the
signct of the Seven Diamonds to any of my race,
which is not substantially in the cause Of Inde-
pendence and liberty on each side.
Be so kind as to return my grateful acknowledge
mcnts to the New England Anti Slavery Conven-
ton fer their prompt and liberal expressions of
their feelings of sympathy and regard. The issue
has been unfortunate for the poor fugitive, but [
firmly believe that the entire transaction from its
beginning to its ending, has been oyer-rucd for the
best purposes of impression on the feelings and
Understandings Of men,
Believe me, dear Sir ever yours,

Resolved, That we should assure Richard Ill.
Dana, unior, and Charles NJ. Ellis, the counsel Of
Anthony Burns, of our warmest gratitude and
our deepest admiration for the prompt and gener-

and for the consumate SKILL sagacty aud eloquence
which they have lavished in his defence against
his kdnappers; and, whatever may be the success
of their labors, we know that they will find their
reward in the appreciation of their own consci-
ences the grateful applauses of the lovers of iber
ty throughout the world, and the honorable place
they have won for themselves on the pages their
