Progress of the Nullifers.

Incidents in the life of Col BENTON,
now brought prominently to mind By the
death Of that venerable statesman, reveal
SO poin,edly certain political changes IN
the country as to deserve passing notice.
Col. Benton was all his life national
man, and opposed to sectionalism, either
at the North or South He was the main
stay or Gen. Jackson during his contest
with the nullifers Of the South, and was
the never sleeping opponent of all of Cal,
houn's peculiar notions. Up to the defeat
of Van Buren, in 1913, he was the leader
of the Democrats, and Calhoun of fac
ton. But that was the turning point !;
and in the election of Pierce, the uullifers
obtained that hold apon the Democratic
party which they had for years been strug-
Cling for. Since that time they have
welded the des,inies of that party with an
iron hand Van Buren was their first vic
tim Benton the second-the only alter
native is presented to every public man,
submission or political death.
Year after year sees the revolts in the
Democratic rariu uaa- aftn- ,.~~- ~-.-~ ;'~
power circumscribed to narrow and nal
ROVER limits and as soon as the people Of
this country become convinced-as We be-
lieve they are now-that the present Dem
ocratic party is obnoxiOusly sectional in its
aims and purposes, more SO than any nor
thorn party that has ever been formed, it
will be overwhelmed.
1t takes long while for the Democratic
party to undo the reputation Gen Jackson
achieved for it as national organization !;
but it is being done. Mr. Buchanan would
have been defeated through the belief that
his party had proved recreant to its past
aims, had it not been for the hope that he
would break away from the incubus which
was destroying the yitals of the Democra-
tic party-its nationality. But this has
proved false hope, and the nullfiers have
a stronger hold than ever upon that party;
and the revolt of Judge Douglas and other
Democrats, added to the long array Of
testimony that has gone before, is OPEN
Ing the eyes of the people to the facts
which they should have recognized VIXEN
Col Benton, the great champion of Jack
sons Administration, was driven from

Grubs and Wire Worms.

Dress and Health.

The glowing color and freshness Of EI-
glish female beauty has always excited tho
gratifying comments of Americans who
have visited the Albion isle. The striking
contrast between the organization Of Amer
lean women and that of their trans Allan
tic cousins is entirely due to the relative
care or neglect of physical training, the
indifference or inattentiou to physical edu-
cation, which is SO universal deficiency
in personal strength and beauty. With
all our republican defiance of restrain. and
formality, We practically ignore, as na-
ton, the very advantages which should
enure to US from our independent position
If we were actually beyond the opinion Of
the world, public sentiment would never
tolerate the rearing of females to remain
all their iyes animal hot-house plants.
The active indoor exercise, the constant
riding and walking in the open air, aud
in all weathers, aud above all, the robust
style Of costume which English girls cult
vatc, tend to make totally different race
of beings from what We see here. Tho
end of female education appears to be, at
least in our large cities, the making Of
dolls and playthings, rather than active,
stirring, energetic women, such as formed
the womanly element of the Puritan
times and the fighting days Of the Revo-
luton.
! The old home-spun clothes and home
dressed shoes have given way to criuolins
and CATERS Even in ordinary travelling
and every day promenade, our American
ladies' affect luxury of costume which the
Queen Of England would not assume out
side of her palace drawing-room. English
women take life practically, as life to
work and enjoy, and they utterly discard
fashion where personal health or comfort
is concerned. Many of our fashionable
ladies' here dress as if they were never to
60 out except to tread on carpets Of velvet.
We can imagine with what an instructive
shrug of aristocratic disdain many of these
must read the account of the outfit of the
Princess Royal. Amongst the items par
ticularly striking, take the following:
Twelve dozen pairs of boots of useful
and solid make; some of them, intended
for rough walking, being provided with
treble soles, and small projecting nails"
Only think of some of our paper svird,
oeiicate-tooted damsels, who toat like SO
many Hebes along Chestnut and Walnut
SITS, sporting, by way Of novelty, hob
nailed, triple-soled shoes I. Does any one
doubt, however, that such an innovation
would do more to preserve the roses in fair
checks than any style of hygiene which
the "faculty' could recommend? We de-
nounce often the fashions of England as
monarchial-we think the Princess Royal
might set US good republicans an example
in the matter of understanding -Pilad.

Danger as to our Sabbath.

The fact that America has universal
Sabbath for the poor as well as the rich,
says the Home Journal, is the most iu-
structive contrast to the following picture
of Europe, given BY correspondent Of
the Times
"After careful observation and expe-
rience in foreign cities, | am justified in
this conclusion That Sunday is day Of
leisure to the moneyed classes Of society,
to whom all must be made easy, and
day Of toll to the poorer. To the richer
classes it is gala day, but to those who
provide the dress, pleasures, and excur-
sions for them, it is time when their
labors are more in demand than any 9th
er day of the week. Sunday is the day
for the finest performances at the theatre
and opera 1t is a day for sump;uous
dinners and evening assemblies, concerts
and balls You may easily imagine,
therefore, what an amount of labor is re-
quired, ard especially when Indifference
to the day excludes all forethought.
Young people are plying their needles on
Sabbath mornings, to complete tho gay
robes for the evening Laundresses are
commonly seen carrying through the
streets articles Of attire. Printers and
billposters are engaged in announcing tho
amusemeDis for the evening. Shoema-
kers are furnishing dress boots; boys car
ryinc them home. Tailors are bending
over broidered vests The chief market OF
the week is held on Sunday morning.
Cooks, in the public kitchens, are buster
than usual CoufectioHers and decorator,
are pressed with labor. y carPeuter IN
Nice said b. would be grateful for any
law that would exempt him from toll on
the Sabbath An eminent physician IN
Boun told me, that so numerous were tho
private and dancing parties on Sunday
evenings in that city, that in hundreds Oh
houses the servant girls were SO hurried
that they could only catch moment to
eat their food as they stool. The most
paiuful thing about this is, that there Is
not the most distant conception OF any H.
Justice being done to the suffering toiIers
BY this state of things. The amount oil 1t
all is, that the no-rest principle WORKS
we'll enough for the selfish arlstocracy,
but terribly for tho poorer classes. IL

Removing Ergot from Rye.

Two years ago | had small piece OF
rye,and from causes not known it contain
ed a great deal of black rye, (seyale cor

and my grain contained so much of it that

separate it, as much of it is as slender as

sinking and the ergot floating on the sur

INDIAN CORN.

SeyIlIe's soft luxurious cline
Yields the orange and the lime,
And the cool refreshing shade
By the clustering branches made
Seems TO hold the perfumed air
As a willing captive there.
Ceylon, isle of spice and balm.
Boasts her groves Of stately palm;
Where the sunbeams lingering rest,
As they loved that land the best;
Where the birds amid the bowers
Are like gorgeous winged flowers.
In thy wales, fair, sunny France.
Peasants love the vintage dance;
When the vines their clusters yield,
Songs are heard from every heldi
All the land in iestal dress,
Overlows with happiness.
But of all the precious stores
Natures bounteous hand oulpours
Ger each hill, and vale, and plain,
Flower, fruit, or waving grain,
Dearest To the Northern born
Stands the graceful Indian Corn.
When i, springs the verdant leaf.
Bursts the seeds enclosing sheath,
Or, IN Summers glowing light.
The fearhery taSsel greeis the sight.
Grace and beauty sull adorn
Every change OF Indian Corn.
When the autumn's gorgeous dyes
Reflect the -hues Of sunset skies
Der the glowing harves, plain,
There the ears Of clustered grain,
In the yellow sheath enrolled,
Seem tike topaz set III gold.

Hints to BUYERS of Horses.

Many persons who purchase and pay for
good horses, are sadly disappointed with
their bargains. Ofcourse, many bad bar
gains will be made. The really fine ami
mails, and the seemingly fine to common
oy1s, aPP~.. J~-s .i'i--' t. ----' '.-J
are very unlike, and such purchasers are
not easily deceived. Still, no man is be-
youd being sometimes overreached by an
imposing animal in the hands of an artful
jockey. This kind of imposition can nev-
er be wholly prevented, and must be en-
dured.
But there are some causes Of dissatis-
faction with the buyer, for which the sell
Ter is no way in fault. A horse, or a pair
of young horses, are bought of breeder
or dealer, which probably have been used
to light work on the farm, and TO daily ex-
ercise The buyer drives them a few
times and feeds them high. They are not
bought for regular: steady labor, but for
occasional use, when the owner has the
leisure. After the novelty Of the new
horses is gone, they are consigned TO the
groom. They remain day after day, and
sometimes for weeks, standing on 4 hard
plank, INDUCED with high feed, and de-
prived of all exercise. The horse delights
in motion confinement he abhors. He
watches the long days to have one come
to take him out and give him a chance
to move. The master very likely seldom
sees him, and be is left to the mercies of
the groom.
After week of iuaction, he is ordered
to be brought out for use. He has been
fed high for a week, and it may be fort
night, and his feet are hot and dry from
standing on a hard dry floor; but he
is fast horse, and was perhaps bought
because he was fast; consequently, the
owner must drive fast. He is driven in
this state eight or ten miles at rapid
pace. He is covered with foam, and pant
ing for breath. The owner is surprised.
He can not imagine what makes the horse
sweat so. He has been well fed, and has
not been out of the stable for week.
lie begins to think that the horse is ten
der, and lacks good constitution. When
the horse returns to the stable, heated
with sharp drive, how many owners see
that he is carefully rubbed until he is
thoroughly dry, and know by their own
observation that the groom is faithful?
The horse, with his fine spirit, high
courage, and boundless ambition, will 60
till he drops dead in the harness. But
whoever wants to drive fast must remem-
ber that, in the first place, the horse must
be prepared for it by daily exercise. Sec
ondly, he must not be driven fast after
full meal aud thirdly, after being driven
fast, be must have the best of care. Hor-
ses for fast driving must not carry much
flesh, or they are more liable to injury
If you are the owner Of good horse
see him daily. A little practice will make
it pleasant to you, and you will see how
soon he recognizes you and loves to ac'
knowledge your caresses. BE careful to
whom you commit good horse. A coarse
brutal man is unfit to have charge Of him.
The horse is easily won by kindness to
the most implicit obedience, while harsh
ness and violence are very sure to spoil
him Vernon, Steel JcprsaL

PHILADA-, April 26, 1858.
The very interesting series of public
religious meetings, which began in Jayne's
Hall, many weeks ago, and were afterward
removed to SAMSON St. Baptist Church,
have been again removed to the Hall, and
the attendance is as large as ever, and the
interest quite as great. For week past,
1t has been greatly increased by the death
OF Rev. Dudley A. Tying, who was one of
the prominent men at those meetings; who
was indeed prominent man everywhere
in all that related to staunch piety and the
supremacy of bis Masters kingdom. The
dispensation which has carried him off is
one Of those wonderful providenees which
all must bow to as an act of a wise and
0Yerruling God, but which our shortened
Vision can not fathom.

Who does it Mean?

A few years since, there appeared anon
ymously short poem, mourning in most
pathetic but vivid language the downfall
of political character of one Of most nigh
ty gifts. We quote two verses:
"Ichatod.
$50 fallen, SO lost. the light Withdrawn
Which once he wore,
The glory from his gray hairs gone
For ever more!
"All else is gone-from those great eyes
The soul hath fled,
When Truth is lost, when Honor dies,
The man is dead"'
No name was mentioned, but every in
tellgent person exclaimed, with 4 sigh,
"That's WEBSTER, painted by Whittier y
Every line pointed out his then recent de-
fection from the cause of Liberty.
A gentleman hands US the following
lines-not so sombre in hue by a consid-
cradle, (nor on SO great a su!ecO-and
we leave our readers TO guess acho they
hit, and who hts him.
Tie pathetic lamentations o. a "NOrttern ma',

o how longed to see
That bless d "fraternal' sight,
Two States, one slave, one free,
One darkness and one light
Together, side by side,
Into the Union come,
And there in love abide,
Like children in their home.
But hang the churlish North I.
They want both 10 be free;
And what is freedom worth
To poor old Buck or me
When Slavery's reign is o'er,
And every man is free.
The South will need no more
To use old Buck or me.
When locomotives run
Along new railroad tracks,
OF course we lose the fun
OF donkeys and their packs.
And when the slave-power dies,
Alas, and die II must,
Then each poor doughface lies
Dlshcnored in the dust.
