Is. MARvEL'S ADDRESS TO FARMERS. Don
aid G. Mitchell Tx. Marvel recently deliv-
cred the annual address before the Connecticut
State Agricultural Society. From condens-
ed report in the Hartford papers we select
the following admirable closing paragraphs: =
There is something worth living for. be-
sides money. That is very good, but it is
not all. With the rest, let us raise q crop of
good ideas. While you are farmers, remen-
Der that You are men, with duties and respon-
sibiltes. Live down.the brutal notion that
farmer must be uncouth, uncducated, and
unthinking-a mere ploddcr.
You are brought into immediate contact
with the great heart of civilization You
cannot get out of the buzz of the toilinC
world. The trill of the woodworking
wires and the rumble of the locomotive (the
thunder-threat of nations) come to your
once-sccluded hillside.
Move towards better life. Do not keep
your boys corn-shelling in the long winter
evenings Make your farm place that your
sons and daughters cannot help loving. Cul-
tivate the trees. They are God S messengers
Don't say that you care nothing for looks.
You do care, else why did you build that two
story white house. with blinds, and cupola,
into which you 60? Or why did you, years
ago, carefully brush Your coat, or pluck IN
your shirt collar. when you were starting,
on Sunday evening, to visit that good woman
who now shares your home?
Care much for more books and pictures
Don't keep solemn parlor into which You
50 but once a month with the parson, or the
sewing society. Hang around your walls
pictures, which shall tell the stories of mercy,
hope, courage. faith and charity. Mako
your living room the largest and most
cheerful in the house. Let the place be such
that when your boy has gone to distant lands
even when perhaps, he clings to sirglo
plank in the lonely waters of the W de ocean,
the thought Of the still homestead shall come
across the desolation, bringing always light,
hJp, and love.
Have no dungeon about your house-no
room You never opcn-no blinds that arc
always Shut,
Don't teach your daughters French before
they can weed aower-bed or cling to a side
saddle; and daughters do not be ashamed
of tho pruning knife. Bring to your door
the richest flowers from the woods cultivate
the friendship of birds scorn the scamp that
levels his murderous gun at the blue-bird or
the robin, Study botany learn to love nature.
and seek higher cultivation than the fash,
ionable world would give you.

vain efforts thus far to make them consent
to como under Slave State constitution.
They know that the same power is still over
them, and that millions moro can be spent
in the same way if they cannot be brought to
submission without. They are anxious for
peace. They want to bebuilding roads and
school houses. They want the avails Of pub
lie lands to help them as other newly set
tied States have them. Many persons want
to make investments in rev lands also, and
they are deferred by tho unsettled state of
affairs To g out of the power Of the Federal
Government they will all be ready to sub
nit to almost any thing. Men who want to
be senators and representatives in Con-
gress will also join in. Hold out then these
inducements, on the ono hand, for accept
ing the Lecompton constitution slowed
away in sort Of hugger-mugger
fashion under land ordinance, and on the
other provide that if they do not do so, they
are to be left for an indefinite time to come
under all the disabilities and vexations they
are now under. Putting those things to-
gether, aided also by the assistance of the
Federal officers who will control the Board of
Commissioners of elections, and such other
precautions as are taken to give strength to
the pro-slavery party side, there will be a
pretty fair chance that majority of votes
can be got for proposition accepted" As for
the absurdity and injustice ofsaying that there
are people enough to make Stare State, but
not enough to make Free State, who cares
for that if we can carry our point
But will Congress pass such dishonest
bill? If the Administration wish to pass it,
it will be passed. Past events have shown
that they have power to control by corrup-
ton and intimidation as many votes among
the democratic members as arc necessary to
carry that bill, or any other which the Sla-
very power Of the nation demands. The
fact that they could get report for such a
bill proves that they can pass it, if they will.

LATEST FROM KANSAS. c. A. Goodworth,
a member of the Leavenworth constitutional
Convention, has arrived at Washington, with
a copy of the constitution, and dispatches
from the convention. lie says that the or
ganization OF the militia by the free state
men is so complete that the exact number
of voters and the political sentiment of each
voter in the territory is ascertained, and that
the pro-slavery men are only two thousand
lie further says that an important element of
the dispute over the Lecompton constitution
has been overlooked-viz the charters gran
ted by that instrument to bridge companies,
banks, &c.-all Locompton concerns, which,
if the constitution is accepted, will have ves-
ted rights which cannot be taken from them
except at their own price.

KANSAS NoTEs. The sale of public lands
in July is considered the sovercst blow yet
aimed by the administration at the interests
of Kansas, as many OF the settlers, married
as they have been by order III ian ivasions
and mob-rulc, are unable to purcha.c what
they have squattcd on. One effort to relieve
the distress occasioncd by it is the formation
of u company, comprising the most promi-
nent free state men in the territory, to gather
land warrants from every possible quarter,
and loan them out to actual settlers at II fair
rate for one or two years, taking security on
the land itself

The New York Street Commissioner case
which has kept the court and the people in a
stew for so many months, seems to be ended
at last. The court of appeals decided that
the appointment of Devlin by mayor Wood
was according to law. As soon as the decision
was announced, Mayor Tieman suspended
him, according to law. and gave reasons to
the Aldermen why he should be removed, viz
that long series offrauds had been commit
ed by him directly on the city treasury,
OF which the mayor furnished the evidence,
chapter and verse, Whercupon the Alder
men on the 10Th voted for his removal, accor-
ding to law. Mayor Tieman nominated Mr.
Edward Cooper, according to law, to fill the
vacant place, the Aldermen approved, accor-
ding to law, and Mr.. Cooper furnished his
suritics and was sworn into office, according
to law, without further delay.
