STATE MATTERs.-Why not discuss matters of
Importance, pertaining to our own State legisla-
ton, through the columns ofthe papers, so that
when the Representatives meet they can have
some idea of what is coming before them? We
are aware that many of our leading men have
ample information upon matters of unfinished
legislation, which will naturally occupy much
time in discussion at some period. Tothese we
offer the columns Of the Freeman free, and cor
daily invite their opinions upon School matters
temperance matters, Anti-Slavery matters, Town
Roads, Town Paupers, &c., &C., together with
numerous other matters which suggest them
selves. VIII our friends make a move in this
direction2 And you, expectantrepresentatiyes
lock about you and "get posted"

BAKE,rHE UNDER CRusT--Pies are rem
dered unhealthy and indigestible frequently
because the under pastry is not baked enough.
The under crust may be first baked. The
pastry for the bottom of the pie may be put
into the pie or baking plate, and after it is
baked, the contents Of a pie can be put in
and baked; or after the pie is baked, in the
usual mode, the pie can be removed from the
platter and placed upon paper within the
oven again.
Iron baking platters, with handles to them
would be economical and convenient for pat
ting into and removing pies from the oven.

BUoKwHEAT STRAW FOR SHEEp.-One word
for the benefit of agricultural papers. A few
weeks since was looking over some of the
back papers to find something then wanted
to see, when accidentally came across
.statement that sheep loved buckwheat straw.
Having several loads of that straw in my
barn, which was cut early and got in, in good
order, and which 4 was intending to let my
cattle pick from, aud use the remainder for
litter, | Immediately went TO my barn and
tried my sheep, and found they ate the straw

this discovery to pay for the paper number

FRIEND BoYcE:
I" If it were possible should attend the Anti
Slavery Convention. l shall look with much in
terest upon the course of policy they adopt, and
the principles they lay down for their action. [
hope they will be wise as serpents. OF one thing
| am sure: they will not lower the standard of
Anti-Slavery principles. l hope they will not
embrace the views of Mr.. Garrison in relation
to non-resstance, &c. The question of Slavery
in Kansas will soon be settled, and settled in IA
vor of Freedom This settled, the next point is
to make war upon its (SlaEsy) extension in the
District OF 'Columbia, and insist upon our Ma
tional Capital being purgod from this stain and
curse. And not this only, hut we must watch
with Jealousy all attempts to introduce new
States totheUnionwith Slavery Constitutions.
There is work for the freemen of the Free States
to de, and while we should stand as sentinels
upon the watchtower of Freedom, we must also
act aggressively upon the monster, and by re-
peated thrusts and telling blows beat down the
fortress of oppression and lay it in ruins in the
DUST

My Ocean Home.

There's land of bright dreams, far away to the west
Where the sun ends his journey and sinks to his rest
Where. the soft ocean zephyr, and wild ocesn wave
In harmony min CLEO, there make my gravel
Twas the music of ocean loved when child
Great tyne of eterhity. so bonndess and wild;
And the sunniest smile that my face ever wore,
Was kndled to life by the sound of his roar.
All fearless of harm I've reposed on his breast
While the dash of his breakers has ulcd me TO rest
And the loyeliest dreams that eer visited me,
Were when o Atlantic, lay sleeping with thee
Tby thuuder.roned music may never more hear,
Except as it vbrates mem Irys ear;
But thy sister Pacific is calling me now, ,..r
With the promise to bind gold wreath on my brow
l despise not her gold but I'll ask her for health,
without which her treasures are valueess veathH q
Then I'll seek me a home where her waters may lave,
And her of spray be distilled ON my grave
