Farmers Sons.

When the farmers son arrives a. a GER
tain age, he is much too apt TO forsake
the csllings of his fathers. and seek for
wealth behind the counter of The mer.
chant. He sees that if he works as his
father he's done be will not be rich, and
with preiseworthy intentions he seeks
some other employment in which he
can WELD a greater influence and make
his name more widely known. Ia the
folly Of youth he looks only upon The
dark side OF the picture. and let's health
happiness. and domestic comfort be
weighed down in the balance by gold
that magic talisman o! the world. If his
brightest prospects are realized he retires
from business, and settles with bis wife
and children in the country. Upon his
children are marks OF sickness, and he of.
ten wonders Why his children should be
so sickly, while his country neighbours
are so strong and active. Easily may he
find the answer in his own bad health
and nervous temperament. Often does
it happen that the rich merchant ends his
days miserably. in spite OF his wealth.
vainly regretting that he spent health and
happiness for the accumulation OF few
thousand dollars.
Young farmersi stand TO your plows,
and ii danger threaten and il difficulties
come thick upon you. your own broad
shoulders will bear them: your stout
teams will pull you through. Are you
ambitious? what wide field is open for
your talents and energy. You may not
lay by es much money as the merchant;
but if health, happiness end domestic
comforts are wealth. you will have a
boundless store, priceless Treasure
What can you perform that viii please
your Maker more than TO render this
earth fruitful? Where on earth would
you rather spend your life than in tbs
country, surrounded By Gods bes, gifts.

the flowers, the singing birds and babbling
brooks? Young men! your country calls
loudly for your talents and enterprise; il

Agricultural Nation in the world. Ia
reading your valuable paper, | find that
among the many things 10 which you

forgotten the rising generation. As they
must eventually take the places which
Eve now hold. will it be asking too much
| TO bestow some OF the articles on The SOM,
which now in your papers are directed 10

men of cur country are farmers sons;
how important that they should have ,hoir

Death OF Hon. Joseph II. Wells.

We learn with great regret that our esteemed
fellow citizen, the Hon. Joseph b. Wells, died
|at the Astor House in N. York on the 26th ult
lie had held the Office Of Lieutenant Governor
|of this State. Attorney General, and Cana
Commissioners, and in all the positions of life
was universally respected. He was native Of
New Hampshire, and was brother Of the Hon
John s. Wells Of that State, and Of the Hon
Samuel wells Of Maine. We had the honor
and pleasure of personal acquaintance with
Gov. Wells, and can bear testimony to the be
|nevolence Of his heart, and to the manly integ
|rity which governed all bis actions. He left
Chicago some six weeks ago on a visit to his
|old home and was, we suppose, on his return,
when the unsparing hand Of death was laid up
ION him. Long will he be remembered by the
State he has served, and by the thousands Of
personal friends to whom he had eDdeared him

@r A New York paper, the Times, undel
he head of "The Camarilla at Washington

@- A New York paper, the Times, under
says:
"There never was time when the great
party which has assumed and desecrated the
name Of Democracy so completely, under the
domination of secret cabal of Southern poll
|ticians, devoted to the one idea of the propa-
cation of Slavery, as now. The persons who
compose this American propaganda are of
small calibre, and comparatively unknown.
They congregate chiefly at Washington and
Richmond, Virginia. This camarilla Of medi-
ocrties, we learn, are now arranging the de-
tails of plan for packing the Cincinnati Con
|vention."
1t i'll becomes paper holding the views of
the New York Times and belonging to the
party it belongs to, to speak of "desecrating
Ia Shame the name Of anything. 1t belongs
Ito that party which calls itself the "Republi7
can" party-a party purely sectional in its
character. 1t belongs to the Freesoil party
the Abolition 1ncendiary party. Under the
name of Republican" it seeks to destroy the
rights Of property, the guarantees of the Con
sttution, and the sovereignty and equality Of
the States. In olden times, the name of Re
publican" meant exactly the opposite of what
the Times and its coadjutors are now endeavor-
ling to make it meant meant strict con-
struction Of, and an undertaking adherence to,
The Constitution of the country.
"A secret cabal of Southern politicians"
That there are dishonest men in every section
Of our country, is true. No region and no eli
mate can claim exemption from fraud and In
.iquity. But this we can say, and say truly, in
behalf of Southern men and Southern politi-
cians-that what they say and what they do,
are said and done openly. They are not clan.
destine-they are not secret. They live under
the light as well as the heat of the sun.
These politicians, says the Times, "are de-
voted to the one idea Of the propagation Of sla-
very" 1t is simply absurd to speak of South
ern men as one idea'd men. Men of one idea
get up isms, and everybody knows that all the
isms spring up and prevail at the North.
There is no ism at the South except Know
Inothingism, which was caught from the North
and prevails to but limited extent at the
South.
The Southern Democrats and, we believe,
with few exceptions, Southern politicians
Of every hue and complexion, are devoted =
to the Constitution Of their country and the
preservation Of the rights Of the States and the
people.
But enough. Really such attacks are hardly
worthy Of notice.

WHICH OF THE PARTIES IN THE
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, is
RIGHT, AND WHICH wRONGi

No matter what the Democratic party does,
lit is sure TO meet the condemnation Of the Cpl
position. If the censures OF its enemies conf
|stituted the evidence Of its guilt, then indeed
would it always be guilty. Whether il does
right, or whether it does wrong, whether active
|or passive, It is all the same to the opposition
TO illustrate, we may take the course Of the
Democrats in the present House Of Represent
natives. Surely no body Of men could have
acted with more discretion, more 6rmness, and
more consistency. Coming to Congress as the
representatives Of an organized party and Of a
national party, they have undeviatingly pur1
sued the line Of duty. They have their candi1
date for the Speakership, and they vote for
that candidate. They hayetheir chart Of prin1
ciples, and they adhere to it. Opposed to all
alliances and corrupt coalitions,
they consistently set their faces against them
For all this they are blamed, and blamed, too,
by many Southern presses. Suppose, now,
that they we're TO change about and take
another tack-suppose that they we're to make
q regular bargain with any OF the various
branches Of the opposition now carrying on al
Kilkenny contest If they did so, the same
clamor would be raised and the same condem1I
nations INDUCED in. Suppose enough Of them
were to withdraw from the House at roll call j
and thus permit an organization to be made, j
precisely the same result would follow. Sup1
pose them to act in any conceivable mani
ner, or not TO act at all the piebald opposition,
through all its leaders and presses, would
make the same complaints and utter the same
COMBINATIONS.
But one thing greatly astonishes us. 1t is,
that any man Of any party pretending to bel
conservative, should join in the insensate cry|
against the course Of the Democratic party in|
the House of Representatives. Either one orr
the other OF the parties in the House must bel

Mr.. BoYCE, rising TO personal explanation
said that, yesterday, Mr.. SIMMONS expressed some
opinion to his tMr. BoYcEs) views concerning
|the continuance Of the Union.
II was true that he had and still has the most
melancholy foreboding as TO the future Of our
country. He thought, and had expressed the
opinion, that there are circumstances at work
(which are hurrying us almost irresistibly TO a
disruption because, in his opinion, and he spoke
mot as party man, but from the firm convictions
|of his heart and with entire candor there is spirit
|a the North, public opinion, hostile TO the insiu-
|tions Of the South, and which is inconsistent with
the continuance Of the Union. The constitution,

zion, concord, and compromise, and by il the
institution of slavery was recognised; and IL
struck him, a logical conclusion, that that
and the Union, could only be preserved
by the maintenance Of similar patriotic spirit.
With most profound regret he saw that a great
party has been formed al the North based on the
single idea Of hostility to the institutions of the
South. The question was, whether this party
will take possession Of the government. II they
shall, in his opinion the Union would be at an

of the editors and proprietors Of the Sentinel
of this city. Mr.. 0. was a young gentleman
of fine talent and cultivated mind, as well as
of high toned principles. As writer for the
press he had few superiors in the country,
while he was, perhaps, more statesmanlike in
his requirements than any other gentleman of
Ibis age connected with the newspaper press OF
the country. He possessed many loyable
qualities, and has gone down so young to the
grave sincerely mourned not only by his i'm
mediate family and relatives, but by large
circle of friends-for we never knew gentle
man more universally beloved by those who
we're well acquainted with him. Wash. Star.
