and your enemy at one time. Such an article
as that which has appeared in the Edinburgh
Review was not written in England. 1t has
the earmarks of having been written in this
country. You have brought into your service
a foreign and rival press to make war on your
brethren, az you sometimes call us. Was that
the case at any other time? When, in tine his.

care not what-appealed for foreign aid to put
down one section at the expense of the other !!
Read that article, gentlemen. 1t has the ear
marks of having been written here, and can
prove it more successfully than it has been prov
ed that Sir Philip Francis was the author of
Junius's letters. Come to issue on the point,
and can prove it-I can almost demonstrate
it. Read the article-the most deliberate, the
most artful, in my opinion, and the most ably

you say that is not war on the South, because
you employ reviews to assail them. 1t says the

that are likely to result from such issues rs

United States. 1t never occurred before that
such an issue was made.
do not know, Mr.. President, what will be
the result of things; but if events carry US to
Il separation, let it not be effected in bloodshed
and anarchy; and if events do not carry US
there, for Gods sake let US live on such ttrns
as will save our feelings. Continually, when
ever war is made it is invariably made on South
Carolina. South Carolina is always John Doe
or Richard Roe in this affair. Massachusetts,
sometimes takes the other side.
The Senator has spoken Of certain resou-

has been asked, "How'was it that Washington
Jefferson. Madison, and all The Presidents before
US, did nNnotice such subjects as these?" Why
sir, when Washington went into power our fore
fathers were patriots, living together, having
fought together, and they were maintaining the
common institutions of the country under the
the highest obligations of good faith, without
any regard to sectional issues. The South never

is called the southern section.
Now, the Senator says that freedom and slave.
ry cannot exist together. Sir, he has pronounc.
ed do not intend it in an offensive sense per
sonally-what wonld amount almost to libel
on the character of his ancestors who put into
operation"this Confederacy. Where did we ac-
qure the great principles of civil liberty which
have pervaded the American mind? They found
higher sanction and higher guarantees under
the influence of those who made the Constitu-
ton than they find now The Senator must
remember that, when this Confederacy went
into operation, and while it continued in health
ful operation, it was confederation of slave
holders. Slayery and liberty lived together
then.
Mr.. WADE. The Senator will permit me to
say that was speaking of the expansion of
slavery into Territories and bel lieve used
preay much the same language as Governor
Adams employed in his late message
Mr. BuTLER: Well, sir, l maintain that q

persons who are even averse to holding slaves,

slaves. say further, that every State in this
Union which has held slaves has produced as

character as any free State shall not say to

that would use no language of retaliation; but
when you undertake to say the institution Of
slavery parayzes the energies of society, and

lights of civilization
Dir. WADE. did not say one word about
that. Iargued it in its political bearings, and
none other.

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.

w ONE OF THE BENEFITS OF THE PREss.-
How would that large and untractable race of
testy, restless, frumpish, surely old gentlemen,l
who have nothing to do, be able to get through
the day without the aid of the newspaper? It
is their only occupation-it is the solitary thing
that keeps them quet-it is the one talisman
that prevents them from grumbHng perpetually,
morning, noon, and night
0F IT is said of Melancthon, that when he
made an appointment he expected not only the
hour but the minute to be fixed, that no time
might be wasted in the idleness of suspense;-
and also of Washington, that when bis Secre.
tary, being repeatedly late in his attendance,
laid the blame to his watch, he said, "You must
either get another watch, or another Secre.
tary."

ylLIi3BLED DOMESTIC RECIPES.

Mr.. EDITOR II have culled from my Fir-
ginia Housewife" and likewise from my "scrap
book,n the following valuable recipes, which
you may present, if you think proper, to the
readers of your excellent journal. The most OF
them have tried and find them to be useful
for what they are represented. FANNY.
ToMAKE FINE PANcHAHEs, WITHOUT BUTTER
OR EAEp-Take pint of cream and six new
laid eggs; beat them well together; put in a
uuater pound OF sugar and one nutmeg or lit:
tie beaten mace-whch you please, and so
much as will thicken-almost as much as ordi-
nary pancake flour batter; your pan must be
heated reasonably hot, and wiped with clean
cloth; this done, spread your batter thin over
it, and fry.
To KEEP WORMS FROM DRIED FAUIT.-Place
your fruit in steamer, over pot OF boiling
water covered tightly. When thoroughly heat
ed, tie them up Immediately in a clean cotton
or linen bag and hang them up This mcthot
is preferable to heating in an oven, as that i:
apt to render them hard, even if you arc so for
tunate as not to burn them.
To DREss Cold FowL.-Peel off the skin
and pull off ihe flesh from the bones in Us large
pieces as possible; then dredgeit with littl'
-four, and fry to nice brown in butter, serve
it up with rich gravy, well seasoned, and thick
en- it with piece of butter rolled in -four. Jus
before you serve it up squeeze in half the juic
of one lemon.

CORN SONG.
BY J. G. WHITTIER.

BY J. G. WHITTIER.
Heap high the farmers wintry board!
Heap high the golden corn!
No richer gift has Autumn poured
From out her lavish horn
Let other lands, exulting, CLEAN
The apple from the pine, n
The orange from its glossy green,
The cluster from the vine.
We better love the hardy gift
Our rugged wales bcstow,
To cheer us when the storm shall drift
Our harvest fields with snow.
Through Wales of grass, and mcads OF flowers
Our ploughs their burrows made,
While on the hills the sun and showers
Of changeful April played
We dropped the seed o'cr hill and plain'
Beneath the surof May,
And frightened from our sproutng grain
The robber crows away.
All through the long, bright days Of June,
Its leaves grew bright and fair,
And waved in hot midsummer's noon,
Its soft and yellow hair.
And now with Autumn's moonlit eyes,
It's harvest time has come,
We pluck away its frosted leaves,
And bear the treasure home.
There, richer than the fablcd gifts,
Apollo showcrcd Of old,
Fair hands the broken grain shall sift,
And kucad its meal Of gold.
Let vapid idicrs loll in silk,
Around their costly board;
Give us the bowl Of samp and milk,
By homcspun beauty poured.
Whcrc'cr tic wild old kitchen hearth
Scntls up its smoky curls,
Who will not thank the kindly earth,
And bless the farmer girls?
Then shame OH all the proud and vain,
Whose folly laughs to scorn
