particulars Of a narrow escape from

joint effort he was rolled on to the bank,
where they both remained for some time.

Il Word to Farmers.

We believe there were never better pros
poets fol- the farmers than Just at this time.
The war ia Europe will open the way for
all the surplus products ofths farm That can
be shipped 70 Europe. Prices Of ali kiads
u grain are high now, and win, we think,
continue 50 for az least a year to come
With these encouraging prospects before
them, we believe that it would be mora al.
v~antageOns for our farmers 10 turn their It
tention more g ths raising Of all kinds 81
grain than II would be for them 10 raise
sheep. Let there be large quantities 81

Money will be made By raising grain this

THE RECENT ELEcrIoNs.-The moral OF
he recent elections in all parts Of the coun-
try seems to be that ia those quarters where
the proscriptire order Of Know Nothings
soonest developed their strength, they have
most raidly exhibited decay. prematarely
ripe, they have as rapidly become rotten,
Their career is food for thought, and those
who have been duped iuto this secret polit-
cal hierarchy Of but q seasons life, will
learn from its sudden decay a lesson Of en-
Iightenment and wisdom. 1t is a law OF
vegetable economy, that plants which grow
in the dark become diseased and poisonous.
Animals which are hidden from the light Of
the sun, lose their natural instinct and sen
ses. The law is equally true to men; and
still truer ofthe public life Of communities

The Voice Of Tammany Hall
Glorious Resolutions.

The following are the resolutions passed
by the immense Democratic meeting re-
Gently held in pammany Hall, New York.
They have the ring of the true metal,
like everything that emanates from that
glorious old hall:
"Resolrea, that the hue and cry of f or.
eign inaaeRce in our midst. instead of seek
ing to impose onerous obligations and re-
s~traints on the poor emigrant, who, in his
escape from tyranny and oppression, comes
to contribute his material aid to the devel-
opmcnt of the resources Of the country,
ought rather to be directed against those
pampered minions Of English aristocracy
whose Interference with the domestic inslitu.
tons of abe United States has had for its
aole object sectional agitation and the even
tual d~isuniou Of our Republic. 1t is against
this species of foreign influence tina. the
Democracy Of New York pied &c them
selves always manfulIy to battle.
"ReSo!vea, That the Union Democracy o.

doctrine Of Monroe, repudiate any govern

extent Of the life and fortune Of the nation
all European interference with the affairs
Of the Continent, and which viii not resent
to the utmost the encroachm9ats which are
sought to be IN ,de by the allied powers OF
Western Europe in China, the Sandwich

"Resolvsa, That it is time for the Dem

sorbing policy Of the allied powers Of Great
Britain aad France, to impose a check upon
their West milan assressions, and to de-
fine the American understanding Of the
line of conduct that should be pursued by
US as a nation.
"Resolved, That as the unanimous voice
Of the Union De nocracy of New York, we
hold the aquisition Of Cuba to be of para

Admission Of Oregon into the
Union.
Union.


A Bill was introduced into the Senate Of
the United States by Mr., Douglas, at the
close Of the late session Of Congress, giving
permission to the people Of Oregon to hold
a convention for the purpose Of forming a
State Government. AS Oregon is certain
to come in as free State, it was not surpri-
sing perhaps, that many of the Southern
men shouId be disposed to throw obstacles
in the way Of its admission; but hey would
not nave succeeded in defeating the bill,
had they rot had the assistance Of Mr.. Will
son, the new Abolition Know Nothing Sem
ator FROM Massachusetts, who was very ac-
tive in knocking it on the head. Why did
Wilson oppose it? II might naturally be
supposed that, as an Abolitionist ard a
Nor.heIn man, he would have been anxious
to have new free State introduced into the
Confederacy. If ne was honest in his Abo
lition opinions, such would have been his
course. But as a corrupt partisan he was
afraid that Oregon would be Democratic in
her representation in Congress, and vote
for a Democratic President. His object is
undoubtedly, to delay the admission Of Or
egon, until after the Presidential election.
Thus do the Abolition Wing demagogdes
sport with the wishes Of the people and
their interests, in order to attain a mere
p%attiSan object,-[Cin. Eng.
