ROYALTY than the rank OF Ourth-rate German Prince
One needs stronger proof Of the superiority OF tree
communities over those where Slavery exists, than 10
make railroad trip eastward from Missouri to Maine:
Without wishing TO make exaggerated statements and
with no leaning toward fanatcism do not hesitate
to affirm that where Slavery Is found there you will
find the cities inferior in architectural appearance,
showing less energy and thrift the houses appearing
dapidated and dirty as il they had been made new a
long time ago and had been exposed TO the weather
longer than they should wlthoutrepar the agriculture
il rude implements of the most primitive description,
fences out of repair animals badly cared for and the
population listless and lazy. l do not make sweep
Inc assertion for there are bright exceptions to one
more OF these points. Thus IN parts OF Maryland
and al
ture are extensively employed and in other Slave
States likewise and there exceptional districts and
towns and communities where better order Oh things
prevails but where in the Slave States viii you hnd

towns which beiewel the string of railroad from New
York City To Buffalo do not wish TO make invid
ious comparisons, but there is Syracuse, at which
stopped the night before last. Why, whole blocks OF
stores on her public street would shame many OF the
more pretentious quarters of NewYork, not excluding
Chambers street and Park place The display OF mer
chandse in the windows OF the stores Is OF the mos,
rich and often costly description; the sidewalks ana
streets are clean think of that Mr.. Eblng and peo-

English horse CONSERVATION, and mas bred some OF
the most promising and nest-looking colts ever saw
Tiptoe one of them is now about seven years old,
and unless be bellies his present promise he Will be
famous on the grounds OF the embryonic American

There is generous rivalry manifested 10y the cities
along the Central Railroad TO secure the location OF
the aeaping and moving trial OF the United States
Agricultural Society The Secretary is comforting
with the leading gentlemen of various places, and has
received, i am told, very Hatterng proposals. L
hear the people about the Franklin House and in town
canvasing the matter and frequent reference s made
to the trial of the New-York State Society at this
place in 1852 the beneficial effects OF which are every
where apparent. There has probably never been
time when Agricultural Societies and all improve
menis relating the science of husbandy had stronger
hold upon the affections of the people. The signs
portend great future for our country, and | am
enough of sn enthusiast to believe that at time
not far in the future people will speak in praise of
American farming with no less measured terms than
at present do We of that of Scotland.
