this. The old Democratic party has for
years been in possession, body and soul, of
the Slave power. The old Wing party was
never unit against this power, and it was
by the uniaithiulness of theSonthern wing of
that party that it was made possible to repeal
the Missouri Compromise. The present
American Party has proved equally untrust-
worthy, for more than one-half of its South
ern representatives in Congress have voted ia
favor of the abominable iniquity the Lecomp-
ton Constitution. The anti-Lecomp ptonDem-
ocrats are not to be depended upon, for we
have just seen half of them abandon their de-
clared principles, and give consent to the
English bribe. There can be no Successful
resistance except by party whose central
idea is opposition to Slavery encroachments
"A party whose anmating and ever -controel
ing purpose shall be to keep the Federal
Government clear of subscrviency to this as
well as all other class or sectional interests
The Republican party intend no crusade
against Slavery. As party, they are per-
tectly willing and fully purpose to let that
institution, whether they like it or not, have
the full benefit Of every constitutional guar
anty. But further than that they do not in
tend to go, or to let the Federal Government
90 and upon every party who strive to carry
the Federal Government farther, they intend
to wage war to the end. To talk of new
party in this state Of things is as idle as the
wind. The Republican party have already
given a pledge of their equitable, moderate,
nation spirit by going en- nosse land it is the
only party that did this) for the Crittenden-
Montgomery Amendment; and they whom
such spirit does not satisfy will find their
only proper place among our sectional Dem
ocrAtic udversarics. These two are the only
parties that have solid ground to stand upon
and between thcs, two must the great issue,
whether the government is or is not to be
chained to the car of Slavery be decided

CONVENTION Ms,

our exchanges, who give it on democratic
authority, that the :" National Wings " are
to holda Convention at Royalton, on the 10th

provide some way to use up quantity of
ballots " left over'' from former elections.
The n. Y. Tribune states that a call is out
fora 80 free Convention of the Frenls of HUI
man Progress in Rutland, on the 5th, 9th
and 7th Of next month, of which that journal
says:
1t will gather the advocates of every pernicious
as well as of every good project-anti-Chur
anti-Sect anti-Marriage anti-Slavery, anti Rum,
anti-Prohibition, ant-Tobacco, anti Pork anti
Bible, anti War, anti-Sabbath-in one ncongruUus
Heterogeneous mass, out Of which good can hardly
be evolved. Ever since read of the Free Con-
venion held at the building of the Tower Of Babel
we have had prejudice against the sort.

their call for a State Convention, at Royalton,

LITERARY MEN AND THEIR WIVES. l do

whether young or old, may pass her even
ings most happily in the presence of her
husband. occupied herself, and conscious
that he is still better occupied, though he
may but speak with her and cast his eyes
upon her from time to time; that such eve-
nngs may be looked forward to with great
desire, und deeply regretted when they are
passed away forever. Wieland, whose con-
jugal felicity was almost as celebrated as
himself, says, in letter written after his
wife's death, that if he but knew that she
was in the room, or if at times she but
stepped in and said a word or two, that
was enough to gladden. him. Some Of the
happiest and most loving couples are those
who, like Wieland and his wife, are both
too fully employed to spend the whole OF
every evening in conversation.

The Southern American" press do not
hesitate to comment on the English swIndle,
as it deserves. The Richmond Wing says
ave believe this bill involves trick and
a fraud of the most demagogical and unscru-
pulous character
The Democratic party may have all the
glory they can possibly make out of the
bogus bill for the admission of Kansas.
The National Intelligencer also expresses
doubts of its efficacy, and can only hope
without any good reason for hoping, that
harmony may be restored.
The Athens (Ga.) Post says;
'It is evident that somebody is to be
cheated, and from the lights before us, it is
difficult to tell who they will be.

SPRING HAS ME.

The sun6eams, lost for halt Il year,
slant through my pane their morning rays !;
For dry Nortbwcsters, cold and clear,
The East blows in its thin blue haze.
And first the snow-lrop's bells are seen,
Then close against the sheltcring wall
The tulips horn of dusky green,
The peOny's dark unfolding ball.
1ho golden .chaiccd crocus burns;
Tue long nareissus-bladcs appear;
The cone-bcakod tyacinth returns,
And lights her blue-taned chandelier.
The willows whistling lashes wrung
By the wild winds of gusty Marcel.
With sallow leaflets lightly strung,
Are swaying by tie tuited larch,
The elms have robed their ,londcr spray
With full-blown flower and embryo leaf;
Wide Ger the clasping arch of day
Scars, like cloud, their hoary chief.
----tSee the proud tulips Haunting cup,
That flames in glory for an hour
Behold it witlerins then look up
How meek the tOrest-monarch's fluwer,-
When wake the violets, Winter dies;
When sprout the elm-buds, Spring is near;
Wnen liacs blossom, Summer cries,
Bud, little roses Spring is here,"l
The windows blush with fresh boquets,
Cut with the May dew ON their lips;
The radish all its bloom displays,
Pink as Auroras fnger-tips
Nor less the food Of light that showers
On beauty's changed corolla shades
The walks are gay IL. bridal bowers
with rows of many-pctalled maids.
The scarlet shell-fsh click and clash
In the blue barrow where they slide;
The horselnap, proud ol streak and splash,
Creeps humewald from his morning ride.
Here come the dealers awkward string,
With neck in rope and tail in KNOT
Rough colts with careless country swing,
In lazy walk or sloucning trot,
Wild filly from the mountain side.
Doomed to the close and chatting thills
lie nd Inc thy long, untiring stride
10 seek with thee thy western hills.
hear the whispering voice of Spring,
The thrush's thrill, the cat-brd's cry,
Like some poor bird with prsoned wing,
That sits and sings, but longs to fly.
Oh, for one spot of living green,-
One little spot where leaves can grow,-
To love unbalanced, to walk unseen,
To dream above, to sleep below!

The condition of English Agriculture at

mental Europe at the present time. Wheat
in many districts was rarely cultivated and
rarely eaten by the laboring classes. Rye.
oats and barley were the prevailing crops

renness, which was too often year Of ex-
hausting weeds, was the ordinary expedient
OF restoring the fertility of soil. Farm yard
unc, exposed to the dissolyinr influence of

only manure. Artificial grasses, with beans,
peas and cabbages, were rarely grown, and
turnips were confined to Il lew counties,

of their number-Sprague, Constable, and

THE ROADS IN | 40.

Within the last twenty years, railways the
penny postage, and II cloud of newspapers
have rendered personal and written commu-
nications universal. Let superior animal
be bred, an ingenious machine invented, or
Il new kind Of manure be discovered and in
a few days the particulars are circulated
through the press round the whole kingdom,
and bring visitors ur letters of inquiry from
every quarter. But ut the time of Arthur
Young the most advanced counties communi-
Gated with the metropolis and each other by
thoroughiares which could hardly be traversed
except by II well-mounted horseman or broad
wheeled wagon, drawn by Is horses, while as
mot farmer in five thousand read anything at
ALL the printing press could not supply the
place of personal inspection. Norfolk with Il
subsoil which allowed the rain to filter
through, boasted her natural roads, and the
inhabitants quotel with pride u saying of
Charles H., that the county ought to be cut
up to make highways for the rest of the
kingdom. But this only proved how de-
plorable was the condition of the other
parts of the country, for when Young visited
Norfolk he did not meet with a single mile
of good road. In Essex he found roads SO
narrow that mouse could not pass car
riage, ruts ofan incredible depth, and chalk
Wagons stuck fast till line of them were
in the same predicament, and it required
twenty or thirty horses to be tackled to each
to draw them out one by one. The thorough
fares in fact were bitches of thick mud cut
up by secondary bitches of irregular depth
In attempting to traverse them, Young had
sometimes to alight from his chaise, and get
the rustics to assist him in lifting it over the
hedge.
