Senator Hammond's mud-sill speech -:
There must be . mental class in oil social
systems. The social system OF the South
would limit this class to natural and ac-
kuowlsdgsd inferiority.
Black slavery becomes the most conserva-
tive element Of Democracy and, this mo-
nent, the Democratic masses of the North
have no troer friends than the Southern
Shareholders, no more valuable auxiliaries
than the Southern slaves. This is an i'm
mcnse fact, which it is time those same Dem
ocratic masses should learn aud act upon,
before they are plunged into anarchy, or
trodden down by despotism. By giving up
their opposition to the South--by national
ising negro slavery-b by removing NIL restric-
tions upon the supply Of negro slaves from
abroad-by makisg black slavery, in word,
the ssmud sill J" ~ Senator Hammond aptly
characterizes it, s'o{ society and Political
government !" in til way they could posi-
~ save the Unios, Aaye themselves from
Submitting to CALLING >gradstion or resort
ing 70 revolution, and save their section
from the danger which itswonld be- 10 Of
El&ilting back under English dominion.

Hay Caps.

These articles we wish 20 keep before the
people. We are persuaded. from our own
experience and observation, that no small
Investment, in Iosls to work with, will pay
better than hay caps. Hay cured In the
cock il much better than that oyerdried IN
the sun, With these articles on hand, the
farmer IN master Of his circumstances, aud
can throw the old adage, "Make hay while
the sun shines" 10 the winds, At least he
can stop making IL before the juice is all
eyaporated, and can put his hay into cock,
without fear Of rain, 10 finish tha curing
process in the best manner, A single show
er will often damage ton Of hall.dried hay
four or five dollars Thehay caps, 20 save Il
would not cost much more. They are almost
certain TO pay for themselves every season
they are used, and Ia some wet seasons they
will save seNeral times their cost. They can
be got up from twenty 10 forty cents apiece,
according 10 size and quality. For an
ordinary cock, weighing about hundred
pounds, cap one yard and half square IL
plenty large enough. 1t is WELL however, TO
have a few two yards square, for extra sized
cocks, for the lpps Of stacks, aud for shocks
of grain which are not pot up to stand the
weather The objections TO hay caps are
generally made by persons who do not un-
dcrstnnd the use Of them, They are best
put on with loops at the corners, and pins
and with litlc experience ia handling, the
ordinary force upon farm in hoying time
will be able 10 secure mornings moving
rgaust all showers that give any notice Of
their coming 1t is very little work to
make them, they need no painting, aud they
do protect the hay. Gei them in season that
you may not have 10 suffer the upbraidngs
Of conscience, when YOU find yourself caught
