Marshall County Democrat. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1855-1859, 1858-12-30
Dan. Webster to Jno. Tailor.

John Taylor lived in new Hampshire
upon one OF fWe5ster's farms.
John Taylor-Go ahead The heart of
the Winter is broken, and before the first
day of April all you. land may be plowed.
Buy the oxen OF Captain MarstoE, if you
think tie price fair. Pay for the hay. |
send you check for one hundred and six
ty dollars, for these two objects. Put the
oxen in condition to be turned oui and
fat;sped. Yen have a coed team. think,
in addition to this. four oxen a pair offour-
year old steers will DO your work. Ifyou
think SO. dispose of The Stevens oven, or
unyoke them and send them to the pasture
for beef, know no.. when shall see you,
but | hope before planting. If you need
anything, such as guano. for instance.
write to Jsseph Breck, Esq. Boston, and
he will send il to you. Whatever ground
You seed or plant, see that it is In good
condition. We wan; no pennyroyl crops.
"a little farm weli TILED,
is to farmer the ne1t best thing TO
"a r:,le wife vel villed."
Cultivate your garden, Be sur. to pro-
duce sufficient quantities. Of useful veg
etables. A man may half support fam-
Y on good garden. Tako care to keep
iay mothers garden in coed order, even if
i. costs You lie wages g a man 20 lake care
of Ii. have sent yoa mang garden seeds.
Distribute them among your neighbors;
send them TO the stores IN the village. so
that every b,Jy msy have part of them
without cost, / am glad that you have
chosen Mr. Pike Representative. He is a
true man; BIZ! there are in New Hampshier
many persons who call themselves wings.
ahc are 10 whigs at all. and no better
than disunioni-ls. Any man who hest
tates in granting and securing to every part
of the country lis just and constitutional!
rights, is an enemy 70 he whole country.
John Tayl5r' if ono Of yoar boys should
say that he honors his father and mother,
and loves his brothers and sisters, but still
insists that ole Ok them be driven out oft he
family, what can you say Of him bat this
that there IS DO real family love in him?
You and | are farmers; We never talk poll
tics; our tai.. is oxen; but remember This;
that any man VINO attempts to excite one
part Of this country against another is just
as wicked ~ he would be who should at
tempt to get upa quarrel between John
Tavlor and his EeiEa'cr, old Mr. John
Saubor, Or his ne ,h6or Captain Bureigh.
There a:e some animals that live better In
the fire; and there are some men who de-
H. ght TO heal, smoke, combustion and even
general coaiagralion. They 90 not follow
the things which make for peace. They
enjoy only controversy, contention and
strife. Hare 10 communion with such
persons, either as aeighbors or politicians.
You have 40 more right 10 say that slavery
ought hot to exis in Virginia, than Vir-
ginia has to say that slavery ought no: to
exist in New Hampshire. This is ques-
ton lef. to every State 10 decide for itself.
and if we mean 10 keep these States togeth-
We must leave to every State the whole
power Of de. iiing ior itself. think |
never wro.e you a word before on politics
| shall mol 10 it again. ! only say, love
your country, and when men attempt to
persuade you to &c, into quarrel with the
laws OF the States, tell them "that you in
tend TO mind your own business" and ad-
wise them 10 DO the same. John Tay lori
YOU arc a free man; you have good princi-
pies, you Lave q large family to rear and
provide for by your labor. Be thankful
10 the government which does not oppress
yol, which does not bear YOU down by
excessive iaxatons; but when holds out to
you and TO years the hopes of all the
blessings which liberty, industry and secu-
rity may give.
John Taylorl thank God morning and
evening, that YOU are born in such a coun-
try. John Taylor, never write me another
word an politics. GIVE my kindest re-
membr.nae 10 your wife and children: aud
when You look from your eastern windows
upon the graves ofmy family. remember
iha. he who is the author of this .etler,
must soon follow them To- another world.
