GUANo.-Too long has agriculture
the parent ofcommerce and manufactures.
been neglected, and we are glad to see
by the following article that at length
our farmers have woke up at one end of
their affairs, viz /: the source of their
crops. The following we copy from the
New York journal of Commerce.:
AT the last meeting of the Farmers
Club resolution was adopted recon-
mending all the agricultural societies in
the United States to unite in petition
to our government to take possession of
all guano islands which have been, or
may be, discovered by Americans, for
the benefit of the United States and of
the discoverers-the taking of such pos
session to occur only on islands uninhab-
tied, and entirely out of the maritime
jurisdiction of other nations. 1t will be
remembered that the Farmers Club took
the initiative last June in requesting our
government to extend its protection to
two guuno islands discovered by Ameri-
can shipmasters in the Pacific, and that
the United States frigate Independence
was despatched to the islands for that
purpose several months ago. 1t is esti-
mated that, with the encouragement of
our government, pure guano can be fur
nished to American farmers at three
fourths or even one-half the cost of the
Peruvian article"

ABOLITION MOVEMENT IN REGARD TO
THE PREsIDENcY.-The regular CORES
pendent of the Baltimore Sun has the
following in regard to the black repub-
lican movements as to the presidency +:
1.-The republicans, it is rumored, of
the two houses, are about to take step
for the purpose of heading off Mr.. Fill
more. A paper, it is said, is in circula-
ton among such of the northern oppo-
sition members as are opposed to Mr..
Fillmore, recommending the call of a
national convention, to assemble in July
next, for the purpose of nominating a
President and Vice President. The call
is, according to rumor, to be signed by
more than one hundred members of the
Senate and House, and it is further as
serted that it is to leave Mr.. Fillmore no
support or countenance from any party
in the North.
1.-THE candidates held in view by this
organization are said, by some, to be
John G. Fremont, and by others to be
Justice Mclean ofthe Supreme Court.
"Justice Mclean has been long and
prominently before the public as re-
served candidate for the Presidency.
Perhaps the time has come, at last, for
bringing him out. Thus there will be
two candidates of undoubted respecta-
bility in the field, in addition to the can
didate who may be nominated by the
Democratic National Convention.
" As to Judge McLean's position on
the chief topic ofthe day, it is understood
that he is in favor of maintaining the
principle of the ordinance of1787."

The southern know-nothing organs
are heartily ashamed--or, at least pro-
fess to be-of the condnct of their north
ern brethren. The New Orleans Bull
letin says:
"This same wing of the party has
manifested factious spirit whenever an
occasion offered. They have no senti-
ment or feeling in common with US of
the South their adherence of slavery
absorbs and overwhelms all other prin-
ciples. Americanism is a secondary
consideration; abolitionism, and, next to
it, sectarianism, are the ruling principles
and influences which guide and control
their action and conduct"

METROPOLITAN RAILROAD are
glad to see, says the National Intelligen-
Ger, that this projected railroad is at
tracing the attention at a distance which
its importance in the great chasm of in
terror communication merits. We sub
join notice of it which we find in the
recentannual report of the Directors of the
Pittsburgh and Connellsville Railroad Of
Pennsylvania. We are confident if Con-
gress were to regard the object in the
light Gifts full Importance it would grant
the aid to it which the company have
petitioned for, only we think the compa-
ny have offered rather too great bonus
for the help they have solicited:
1.-The Metropolitan Railroad, con-
Meeting with the Baltimore and Ohio,
and forming with it one of the most i'm
portant of our future Eastern connexions,
has made but little progress during the
past year for want of means. 1t is, how
ever, with much qualification that we
learn its construction is soon to be re-
sumed. 1t is road of great importance
to this section and the whole Northwest,
as it will, in connection with the Balti-
more and Ohio and the Pittsburgh and
Connellsville railroads, reduce the dis
lance of the present nearest route to the
city of Washington not less than sixty
miles. This road, it is hoped, will re-
ceive the attention of Congress during
its present session, and secure such aid
from the General Government as will
insure its completion within the shortest
practicable period"

An UMY BLUNDER ORA FOREIGN JOIN.
NAL.-The Independence Beige, of the

Speaker Banks. 1t says:
1.-THE new Speaker of the House is O
black man of Mass, who belongs, a,

IRENE party of abolitionism. This, then,
is a victory gained by the North over
the South. Upon the whole the journals
declare themselves satisfied with the
choice. Mr.. Banks is a man of firm and
upright mind, endowed with great politi-
cal sagacity, and, as his antcccdents all
attest, with calm wisdom"

THE FAvoRITE Son OF New YORK.
The New York Express will have it that
Fillmore is :" the favorite son of New
York" One of the " favorite's" brothers
(the Albany Knickerbocker) thus speaks
of his strength at home:
Fillmore's nomination is one of the
weakest for this State that could possibly
have been made. According to HAM
mond, he was nominated against the ex-
pressed wish of two-thirds of the Hindoo
members of the legislature, against the
expressed wish of majority Of the State
officers, against the expressed wish of
more than two-thirds Of the delegates
from the State in the convention.

A FRANK ADMISSION. The Louisville
Courier, an old line Wing paper pub
lished in Kentucky, while advocating
the reorganization of the wing party,
very frankly says:
=" We do not, for moment, suppose
that the Wings can have hope for their
own success in the next campaign.
We believe that it is written down
in the book of fate that the Democ-
racy will sweep the whole country at the
Presidential election in November next.
We do not entertain the shadow of a
doubt but they will carry Kentucky by
sweeping majority. Would it not be
much better, then, for those Wings who
have principle, and not self-interest in
view, to support their own men and mea-
sures, emciaily when they know that
in doing 20 they more certainly secure
the present success of the Democracy,
which they regard as being SO neces-
sary.

MEssRs. DALLAS AND BUCHANAN
Hon. George M. Dallas, our newly APP
pointed Minister to England, has been in
public life, with short intervals, ever
since he attained his majority. He was
born in 1892, and is now in the Gath
year of his age. In 1914 he was ap-
pointed Secretary of the American Com
mission that negotiated the Treaty of
Ghent; afterwards United States District
Attorney at Philadelphia; then, in 1881
United States Senator from Pennsylva-
mia; in 1887, Minister to Russia: and
in 1914, elected Vice President of the
United States-in all of which positions
he sustained himself with ability, cour-
tesy and uprightness.
His predecessor, Mr. Buchanan, now
in his 65th year, has also been much in
public life. First, in the State Legisla-
ture for two sessions, commencing with
1914; next in Congress for ten consec-
utive years; then Minister to Russia fos
two years; next ten years in the U. s.
Senate; then Secretary of State from
1913 to 1S49; and lastly, since 1858,
Minister to England. He retires volun-
tarlly from his present mission, with the
esteem and confidence of the whole
COMMUNICATING the impress of his giant
intellect upon the Legislative and diplo-
matte history of the country. and with
character, both moral and political
unstained by a single disreputable act
during all that long period of time. He
is yet in the full vigor of his great intel
lectual powers, and possessed of robust
constitution, which will enable him to
discharge the high and onerous duties Of
the Presidency with distinguished ability,
should his fellow-citizcns (of which there
is now scarcely a doubt) call him to thai
exalted and responsible position.
