Bakery and Ice-cream Saloon.

We would call the attention of the citizens
of Fir eehold, and the public in general to Mr..
Butchers establishment, on Main Street, a
few doors East of the Court House. Mr.
Butcher is extensively engaged in munufac-
turing bread, cake, pies, and everything per-
tanning to the bakery business. He has
also a fine saloon, fitted expressly for the ac-
commodation of his customers, who repair
thither at all hours of the day and evening, to
partake of the many good things which he has
On hand. He takes great pains to
please-is very obliging in his business capaci-
ty-and is a gentleman. We need hardly say
that Mr.. Butcher is reeeiyeing an extensive
patronage, of which he is eminently worthy.

New JERSEY Soil,

The State of New Jersey, from her locali-
ty. soil and climate, is forever destined to
take the lead of all others, in the cultivation
and sale of fruit. In this respect, Divine Prov
idence has rendered her without a rival. She
has ever produced, with proper cultivation, a
superabundance Of strawberries, cherries,
peaches, pears, apples and melons--more than
enough for heme consumption, and for the
supply of the New York and Philadelphia
markets.
And yet, there seems to be one department,
in which there is great room for improvement
we mean the grape department.
1t is a, well known fact, that the cultivation
of the wine in Madeira, and in most parts Of
Europe, has become almost a total failure;
and to whom now will the world look for asup-
ply of choice wines? No country can furnish
it but the United States. The West has gone
largely into the business, and is realizing am
pie profits from the sale Of American wines
But with a little care and attention, New Jer-
sey can beat the West all hollow.
We urge this measure upon the attention Of
our Jersey farmers, because it will have a ten
dency to promote their own and their .coun:
try's welfare, by throwing out of the market
those abominably adulterated liquors, which
are killing thousands and tens of thousands Of
our countrymcn annually.
J~erseymen, what do you say, for going in
for Judah's blessing?

Gold in Vermont.

A friend, whose authority we consider high
ly creditable, informs US in a private letter,
that considerable quantities of gold have re-
Gently been discovered in Vermont. Some of
the searchers after the precious metal, are re-
alizing a clear profit of SIS per day, from the
gold washings of Lamoille river. As yet, no
organized effort to dig for it, has been set on
foot.
Magnetic Iron also abounds in inexhausti-
BILE quantities throughout that State. 1t is
said to equal the best of Russian or Swedish
iron.
We have no doubt that Vermont from hel
peculiar geological construction, abounds il
mineral treasures, which, when fully developed
will prove to some of her most enterprising cit
liens, q source of immense wealth.

perhaps longer-but we asked for four-months sub

paid much more than expenses but we fatter our

Upon the first of September next we enter upon
new business arrangements, when the DaiLg would
inevitably have to be suspended. We want the in

standing accounts for the current fiscal year of our
connection with the Inquirer, and cannot do this and
attend to daily editorial labors. Hence its present
stopping. We set out in this enterprise with no bril-
liant anticipatiOns; we have redtazsd them. We
have gained something lost not quite SO much.
That Freehold needs a daily paper we really believe;
that the village and county can sustain one we are
AZ fully persuaded; that the thing has been as well

was not better. If so, all right we do not choose

The pretent Assembly of our State has esinced
tbiuness of cuicle, n senstiyeness to criticism
which seems strikingly inconsistent with Legisla
tive dignity and conscious integrity. We have
already found occasions to note these defects and
the proceedings of Monday evening supply a text
for another.
On Thursday night last, Mr.. John A. Kennedy Of
the Emigrart Commission, and James w. Hanil
ton. an euplopt thereof were reported to the As
sembly by one Of its Investigating Committees as
having refused to be sworn and testify before said
Committee, and the House on motion of the
Chairman of said Committee, ordered them into
custody for contempt. Now Mr.. Kennedy Is our
political and, We believe, personal friend; We
know him to be capable and believe him up
right; We know the crew who are yelping on his
track and who have got up this investigation, are
lust such as an honest man must cOyet for deadly
enemes-such as it is ali honor to any man
to he hated by. Nevertheless, we thought
Mr. X had made mistake in the premises,
and, 50 thinking, We so said promptly and plainly.
An occasional CORE spondent sent brief letter,
VIII. We published, with scme demur-sad letter
.nS certain upon INC COH-
ST. ION ond impulses of the Emigrant Commission,
ana ndulging in brief but pointed structures on
those Republican Members (Messrs. Baker and
Van Nakenburgh) who had sustained Mr.. Kennedy
in bis refusal TO be sworn. The gist of the letter
was that Mr. Kennedy was seeking to avoid inyes-
tigation, and that Messrs. b. aud V. V. were up
holdiI him in that cOur.e. We think our CORE.
spopdent was mistaken in bis facts; had these
been as he supposed, his structures would have
been eminenty pertinent and just. But there was
nothing in all he said which justified the wrath and
denuncatiCn Of Messrs. Baker and Van Valken-

New-York daily tribune., 1858-03-17

The Lecompton Senators do not appear to have
gained much, either collectively or individually, by
their night session. In the object of forcing q
vote during this week, which Mr.. Green, in his
capacity Of fle-leader for the LecomptOn party,
sOmew hat confidently not TO say insOlenty, insisted
upon as his uimstum, the LecomptOnltes were
totally defeated; while Mr.. Green, in his Individual
capacity as simple Senator, ,disgraced himself by
bl1ckguard personalities aganst Mr. Cameron,
which the next morning he found it necessary to
rctract and GisayOw. Nor vas be remarkably for
tunate in his method of making this apology since,
in bis apAety to escape the modification Of direct
Ietracton, he leaves the impression that he was
not only insolent and Indecent, but drunk.
We wish the Senate might take warning, from
this unsuccessful operation, how they persist in
forcing the LecOmpton Constitution and Calhoun
breeches pocket State Goyerment-the latter even
more outrageous and uDpaatable than the former
upon the people of Kansas aud the country at large.
Sustained by justice and good cause, even mi
nOrty as the Senate has just found out, may often
be able successfully to stand up against the domi-
neeTiDg arrogance which attempts to deprive them
and such majority as Kansas has opposed to this
whole LecOmpton operation, will submit to see
themselves dOninee cred over by John Calhoun and
his nominees-eyen though Congress should, at the
Presidents il stance, assume to recognize them as
State GOveTDment-s, We apprehend, a very I'M
safe calculation. An Endorsement by Congress of
the Lecompton swindle, forced through as ii must
be, if at ALL by the purchased votes of recreant and
mercenary Representatives, who nOtOriOusly misrep
resent their constituents, would lose all its moral
force. 1t would fail to strike the least awe into
the citizens of Kansas, who, in positively refusing
to submit TO 30 hateful an imposition, might conf
dently reckon on the sympathy of at least all the
Free States.
On the whole the Democratic party will do well,
as to this entire Kansas matter, TO initiate the dis
cretOn of Senator Green, its e-leader in the man.
sgement of his personal controversy with Senator
Cameron. Let it sleep upon the matter, get cool
and sober, and retreat. Evidently the party has
committed bunder. 1t has placed itself in
false and untenabe position, and, disagreeable and
awkward as backing out of it may be, much better
do so than do worse.
