author or editor was fined, or imprisoned, or

the good men of the nation to prevent bloody
revolution; that the government of Charles X
had but to take one step futher topard Tihine

monarchy to republican form Of government

AMERICAN AND ENGLISH AGRICULTURAL
IMPLEMENTS. AT dinner recently given at
Aylsfo!d, Kent County, Eng, to celebrate the
return Of Mr.. Belts, the celebrated railroad
contractor. from a tour in the United States
and Canadas. lie stated that our people i'll
America were behind the people jill England
IN agricultural i'm dement's, except moving
machines, in which we cXcellcd, and one OF
which he had brought with him, and which
drawn by two horses, had cut clevo acres
per day. lie stated that America was mag
nficCnt country, one far better for the poor
man. but possessing far less comforts and pri-
vclegcs than England for those who possessed
capital.
We think Mr.. Belts did not travel alto
gethcr with his eyes open in our country
There arc just as many comforts and couye
nienccs tor those who have capital in this
Country as there are in England: of course this
is not the case in the newly settled parts of
our country this cahnot be expected but the
older States and in our cities. And even in
our new States, enterprise is so active that in
a very few years after any place is settled it
attra' t. most Of the reincnants and luxur-
les of life to it. We know that his opinions
respecting American agricultural implements
are wroiig. Our hay forks, axes, cult
vators, planters, scythes, rakers, hoes, and
even our plows, yes, most of our agricultural
Implement are now superior to those made
and used in England, "A most crelitable and
marked improvement has been made during
the past few years. in all our agriculture
tools and implements, It's true that there
are too many poor implements manufactured
so as to be sold cheap, but this is the case
in every country; we do not refer to these,
but to those Of the best quality, which cal,
be obtained Of every respectable dealer
We are of the opinion, Judging from what
we have seen ourselves, that American
Agricultural Implements, as whole, are the
best in the world. american.
