Coming Events cast their Shad-,
ows before.

We can but look upon the present agitation
of the political world, as foreshadowing an
event not far distant. Both the North and
South are becoming aroused to sense of justice
in regard to the proceedings of the two parties
at Washington. The food has already turned
against the factions of the proSlavery party, and
their defeat is almost certain. The Administra-
ton have no power to prevent its minority from
being classed with that of the Southern Ameri-
cans as part of pro-Slavery party opposing
the cause of Freedom. 1t is at most but II mea-
ger minority, and has all to lose in the delay to
effect an organization. While the Anti Slavery
party is standing firm upon its foundation, and
while successfully opposing the two factions, it
is fast gaining habitation and name. 1t is
increasing its popularity, swelling its numbers,
and the justice of its sentiments are beginning to
be felt. The eglect to organize has proved, and
the opposition have been obliged to concede, that
it is no longer u distracted mass, but u power
whose force is successfully combating the de-
signs OF the Slavery extensionists.
The two factions of the pro-slavery party are
separated by the impossible barrier of Know
Nothing and Anti Know Nothing, which rem
ders their union impossible. Consequently,
there must be three, and only three, candidates
for the next Presidency. With the settled I'M
ion of the Anti-Slavery forces, is it not highly
probable that the election will be carried to the
House; and that they will there elect their can

Dictation to Postmasters.


The last Patriot contains an article pointing
out the future course to Postmasters in regard
to their soliciting subscriptions for newspapers.
1t says:
" We venture to suggest to Postmasters, who
profess to support the present Administration
the prCpriety of using their efforts to advance
our home democratic papers. 1t is not easily
seen, here or elsewhere, how tho circulation of
the N. Y Tribune, ~ Y. Erening Post and
snch papers is calculated to favor the democratic
cause or, how the support Of the Administration
can be made out of a secret or open diffusion of
such papers. If Post Master is opposed to the
Administration, very well that he has right
to be; but while he claims to be its friend it is
not comprehended how he can make extra efforts
to circulate papers filed with the vilest abuse
OF Its men and measures, and claim to be con-
sistent politician or an honest man. Now, it is
our opinion, that it is the height of meanness
for Post Master to hold an Office under ann
Administration, without treating the Admins
traton with common decency and respect, and
how Postmaster can allow himself to 20 out of
his way to sohcit nnwary democrats to take
such papers as we have mentioned, and claim or
feel that he is SO treating the Administration,
is more than is at present comprehended. When
Post Master goes into the street, and urges
and deceivcs people into the support of papers
IN open and vile hostility to the party he may
as well, tirst as last, prepare himself 10 be coun-
ted among those whose interests he seeks to
promote"
Is Frank Pierce the autocrat of all the States,
and the editor of the Patriot sub-autocrat of all
the country post offices in Vermont! Does the
ldtr'of, with all its howlings and beseechings,
contemplate the fact that Democrats will not all
take his democratic paper and if, with all his
dietation' while he himself is a postmaster, he
does not see the propriety of giving postmasters
the liberty of soliciting as many subscribers to
newspapers aspossiblc, to get sufficient salary
tor their own support under the present low rates
of postage! Docs the editor of the Patriot
possess sufficient authority to say head off %
to whomsoever Of his brother postmasters he
pieases We would not make any disparage-
ment 10 low postage, but say give postmasters
the privilege of making twenty-five cents by So
Letting subscriptions to the newspapers.
Many people rely upon their postmasters to
show them new publications, and give them
the opportunity of subscribing and not unfre-
quently ask them to send money to the publish
er for them. Are not all the papers to have
the advantage of the post-ofdce If people will
not take the federal democracy of the PATRIOT,
why try to prevent them from taking any! Let
them take the truedemocracy of--doiug as they
please.

Our Landmarks.-No. 2.

Jefferson sought to Undue the minds of the
young men of the Slave States with the princi
pies of true Democracy--justice and equality
knowing that in their hands, in great meas
ure, lay the power of abolishing the curse of
Slavery. His reliance upon their influence is
seen in the following extract from letter to
Dr. Price, in 1888. Virginia is the next State
to which we may turn our eyes for the inter-
esting spectacle of justice in conflict with av-
arice and oppression conflict where the Sc
cret side is growing daily recruits, from the in
fux into Office of young men grown and grow
ing up. These have sucked in the principles of
Liberty, as it were, with their mothers milk A:
and it is to them look with anxiety to turn
the fate of the question. The College of Will
lam and Mary is the place where are collected
all the young men under preparation for public
life. am, satisfied if you could resolve to ad-
dress an exhortation to these young men, its
influence upon the future decision of this i'm
portant question, would be great"
How any misunderstanding of his views, and
how any one protesting to belong to the true
Democratic party, of which he was the founder,
dared to so widely deviate from his avowed
principles, is beyond our reason. In letter to
Mr.. Melville, Feb. y. 1888, he says SO No.
body wishes more ardently to see an abolition,
not only of the trade, but of the condition f
Slavery; and certainly, nobody will be more
willing to encounter every sacrafco for that OBJ
ject."

News from Euroua.

New York, Dec. 20. The steamship Pa.
ci6c, Capt. Nye from Liverpool 18th inst, ar.
rived about o'clock this afternoon.
The city of Kars has at length fallen into
the hands of the Russians. The particulars
are not yet received, but it is believed that
the garrison were compelled to surrender
through famine. Their number did not ex-
coed 5000 men, and they were 50 much redu-
ced in strength as to be incapable of cutting
their way through the Russian ranks.
Omar Pasha was near Kutais which the
Russians held with considerable force.
In the Crimea, the Russians had attacked
the extremity of the French lines with apout
5000 men, but after an hours sharp fighting
withdrew.
The firing continues between the North and
the South sides Of Sebastopol.
The Austrian army was being reduced to
a peace footing.
The government Of Naples publishes, the
result Of convention with the UnitedStates,
defining the rights of neutrals. -
The Bank of England is authorized to
issue e47S,0O0 in notes beyond the amount
specified in the charter.
The prospect for the speedy establishment
Of peaceful relation with Russia appears to
be rather more doubtful, no progress being
apparent in negotiations at present.
Breadstufls were quiet and unchanged.
Provisions unchanged.

Roots in Winter.

Those who are rearing young animals will
find their account in feeding out roots. They
favor the growth rather than the fattening of
animals, and are therefore more suitable for
the young than any kind Of grain would be.
For this purpose the fat turnip answers
well, and as it is often grown with but little
trouble it is worth laying up for young stock.
Turnips may be buried under pile of hay
in the barn--or in the barn cellar, without a
covering.
Carrots are fattening, and are better for
fatting animals than for cows in milk, as they
seldom increase the quantity of milk, though
they make flesh. Carrots, on the whole, are
the most solid food derived from roots. Old
English farmers give them the preference at
ter long trials. For horses there are no roots
equal to carrots. We intend to give some
hints that may facilitate the growing and
wedding of carrots before another spring
opens

Mammoth Squash Of Am erica.

FRIEND MOORE When our Southern
neighbors make such ado about /" The Man,
moth Squash of america" and show up one
weighing only forty-three pounds, what shall
we do about telling the story of that respec-
table squash raised by our friend WooLEY, of
St. Lawrence Co., N. W We wrote to a
friend and eighbor of Mr.. WooLEY to pur-
chase the said squash if it really weighed
22l pounds las represented,) or anywhere
near it, as any price up to 50, and forward
to our address by Express Notwithstanding
all the while as if our verdancy would bring
down the squashes, as well as shower of
chucklings and merriment at our expence.-
But We were soon relieved by a note from
our friend, from which we give the following
extract:
The squash about which you write me, is
a squash, and no mistake. The gentleman
was offered S25 for it lying in his garden,
which he refused to take. He exhibited the
'crtter' at the County Fair, cut it in chunks,
which he dealt out at round prices, and sold
the seeds at Is cents each until he had rolled
up the snug little sum of sirty-seuen dollars,
besides carrying home a pocket foil of seeds
for his own use"
We should like to hear from WooLEY. as to
how he does it. We have read of Mammoth
Squashes, and once heard of one in Illinois
weighing $50 pounds, but the above story is
as much as we are willing to believe on toler-
able authority. Bring on your Big Squashes
if you can beat that.-Rura New Yorker.

with more candor, perhaps, than reason main
tains that he was Christ. Because st. Paul
(Heb wiz says he was :" without father, ioifh-
out mother, De-" he supposes he,was Christ
But it was common saying by the Jews, that
those whose descent was either doubtful, or not
recorded. were Without father. 1t was said by
Rabbins. that a Gentle had no father, by which
was understood, that his father was not record
ed in the Jewish gencalogies' Nor Was this
phraseolJgy peculiar to the Jews. Seneca says
that ANGUS Martins, the fourth king OF Rome,
was said to have no father. LiVy, speaking OF
Servius Tullius, says that he was born OF slaye
de patre nullo, of no father. As the father OF
Melchisedek was unknown to the sacred writers,
he was therefore, said to be without father.
If we adopt the opinions of the Western di-
vine and the Northern Presbyter, we must ac-
knowledge that Christ was slave merchant
But such erroneous and profane opinions should
serve to convince us that the learned, however
dogmatic, are not iniallible. We have no more
reason to believe that Christ made his first ad
vent in the person of Mclchiscdek, than we
have to believe that he made his second advent
in the person of Ann Lee, as commended by the
infatuated Shakers. 1t is worse than the black
est infdelty, for the Northern presbyter to libel
Melchisedek in order to justify what the pious
Wesley justly calls "the sum of all piHainies.P
Slavery is wrong that can neither be justified
by example, nor by any circumstances under
which it may exist. To justify this self-evident
wrong by an appeal to the Bible, is to furnish
the infdel with an unanswearable argument
against its validity, and to aim a direct blow
against the first principles of all pure religion
1t may be inquired, whether, if it should be
proved that the Anglo Saxons descended from
Ham, and the Northern Presbyter should be
claimed as property in the name of Noah's
Curse, by Jew, an acknowledged descendant
of the favored Shem, he would recognize the
legality of such claim, lay aside his sacerdotal
robe, be forever separated from his family, and
cheerfully toll for life, on Southern planta-
ton Whether, if required 10 read his One
Hundred Inquiries, Or arguments in behalf of
Slavery, on every Sabbath, to his fellow slaves, !
it would afford him either pride or consolation
Whether, if under the severe discipline of the
whip, OR when weary by toll, he would neither
complain nor question his defence of Slavery
Whether, in sucha degraded condition he would

petual force of Noah Curse1 a. .B.

Pa1snips for Mich Cows.

Will you inform me, through the columns
of the Country Gentleman, respecting the
qualities of parsnips as feed for dairy cows
through the winter. l have quantity, and
would like to know il you think them good
feed for milking cows.
Lexington, Ky. THOMAS J1NKs.
Parsnips are very highly esteemed as food
for mich cows, as well as for pigs and poul-
try in Island of Jersey, where they are extern
sively grown for this purpose, We quote
from the CpclJpedia Of Agriculture: "When
parsnips are given to mich COWS with little
hay, in the winter season, the butter is found
to be of as fine color and excellent flavor
as when the animals are feeding in the best
pastures As parsnips contain six per cent
more mucage than carrots, the difference
may be sufficient to account for the superior
fattening, as we'll as buttcr-making quality
of the parsnip. Don observe, that Sin the
fattening of cattle the parsuip is found equal
is not superior to the carrot, performing the
business with as much expedition, and affor-
ding meat eff exquisite flavor and Of a highly
juicy quality; the animals eat it with gree
diness' The parsnips are given in the proper
tion of about 80 ID. weight, morning, noon
and night the large ones being split into
three or four pieces, and little hay supplied
in the intervals of these periods. The result
of experiment has shown, that not only in
neat cattle, but in the fattening of hogs and
poultry, the animals become fat much sooner,
and are more healthy than when fed with any
other root or vegetable; and that, besides,
the meat is more sweet and delicious. -
