I say beware Of Southern corn" as
well as "Soutborn institutions" for
they would alike have a blighting in
auonOo upon the prosperity Of the
North.
Thcid that there is not any Of last
years corn crop in this section that can
be relied on for seed is not terrible, by
any means, for it has been sprouted"
by different individuals, 70 my certain
knowledge. Try it and see, all ye who
doubt And there is where I say get
your seed corn for the following reasons.
lst. Having tested it, you know it viii
grow, which may not be the case with
corn brought from "afar off and dear
ly bought at that. ID. Corn that ri
pencd last year may be depended on as
possessing tho quality Of early maturi-
ty, for nature has clearly indicated the
dividing point between the ripe and
the uhripe, and that which is and is
not adapted to this climate in short
seasons. Having gained this point,
let us hold it, and not import another
kind of corn, that cannot be relied on,
until ithas gone through similar pro
cess Of aoclimation and careful soleo-
tion, and ere that is accomplished, may
produce equally disastrous results.
Let every man examine his corn care
fully, as he gathers it, or afterwards,
and select such as will grow, which is
generally the harder and Ainticr por-
ton, and then preserve it in dry and
warm place until planting time. If
there ca6not be enough found in one
crop to plant the next, it must be a des-
perato case indeed. And then, and not
until then, Let him look among his
neighbors, and get it at the nearest
point possible.
The old corn is nearly, and in most
sections entirely exhausted, and were it
possible to get it, should consider it
of doubtful policy, as there was very
much Of it that would not grow last
Spring, and time would only tend to di-
minish that property.
With due caution and care, I think
the next Springs planting may be as
successful as many of its predecessors,
and perhaps more so, for everyone will
no doubt exert himself to procure that
which is good, and prove it by actual
test, beforehand, that he may not be
disappointed FARMER.

Where Shall we get Seed Corn.

HIGHLAND, o., Jan. s, 1858.
FRIEND BoARDMAN:- The condition
of the last years corn crop has become
a subject of universal interest and So
licitude, comprohending not alone the
Agriculturist, but all classes of our cit
zens, more or less directly or indirectly.
This cereal has become so intimately
intorwoven with the various occupations
and necessaries of life, and its consump-
ton so great, that it is almost, if not
the prime necessity of our people, both
as food for man and beast. Any mis-
hap to this crop, as general and des-
tructivc as the one that has now befallcn
it, must be considered a general calami-
| ty. To find one-half the products of
a years labor on that crop rotting in the
field or elsewhere, is an item of more
than passing interest to the crest Of
mankind, as we'll as the farming com
munity.
This, for the present irroparablo ca
lamity is upon us, and we will have to
make the best of it, by needing its ad-
monitions, and see to it that we strive tc
avoid like calamity in the future
This general defect appears likely tc
extend to and affect to a greater or less
extent another years crop, which fac
has created no little solicitudo in rogarC
to seed corn for next Springs planting
Many plans have been proposed for pro
curing seed, some of which arc about a
wild as one could imagine
No better guide need be wanted il
this respect, than that furnished in pas
years experience In selecting see,
corn, we have given too much attention
to the quality ofearly maturity, the con
sequence of which is before us. Gu
: corn is not adapted to short and unfa
5 vorable seasons, though it may be jus
the thing, when the seasons are favora
a Bile to its growth and maturity It
certainly apparent to every one that W
D will have to cultivate a kind Of cor
3 that viii come to maturity earlier tha
- that which we now grow
o Where shall We get seed for mex
Springs planting, is the question wit
almost every farmer. Some say, g
q South And why2 To get beyond th
: limits Of the "oold snap, / suppose
whore the corn did not freeze. Tn
q might do, if we simply wanted a kin
o or quality Of corn that would sprout.-
r But that is not all, by a long ways
We want corn that viii come TO matur

b that can't be had down South, as II
corn grown there requires more time +,
growth and maturity than ours, an

MISCHIEF MAKERS.

Oh I could there in this world be found.
Some little spot Of happy ground
Without the village tattling;
How doubly blest that place would be,
Where al might dwell In liberty,
Free from The bitter misery
Of gossips' endless prottling.
If such a place were really known,
Dame Peace might claim Il as her own,
And in it she might fix her thvVu5
Forever aud forever.
There like queen might reign and live,
While every one would soon forgive,
The little sights they might receive,
And be offended never.
And then they've such a cunning way
OF telling ill-meant tales-they say
"Don't mention what I say, pray,
would not tell another"
Straight TO your neighbours house they 90,
Narrating everything they know,
And break the peace of high and low,
Wife, husband, friend and brother.
Oh, that the misunderstanding crew
We're all reduced TO one or two,
And they were painted red or blue,
That every one might know them
Then would each villoger forget
To rage and quarrel, fume and fret,
And fall into an angry pet,
With things so much below them.

Mr.. Buchanan's Record.

In the debate which took place in
Congress upon the admission of Mich
igan into the Union, an objection was
raised that the convention that framed
the constitution for that State had not
been authorized by the Territorial leg
islature of Michigan, but had emana-
ted from spontaneous meetings Of the
people, held in the territory. In the
debate upon that question, james Bu-
chanan said, that ''No Senator ,oW pre-
tend that the Territorial Legislature had
ony right ,1haterer to pass lars enabling
the people to elect delegates to a coaven-
ton for the purpose Of forming a State
Constitution. TT WAS AN ACT OF
IUsURPATION ON THEIR PART" +"

JUSTIFICATION OF Con- PAULDNG.
The New York journal Of Commerce
justifes Com. Paulding thus:
"It is certain that had Com. Paul
ding refused or hesitated, to act as he
did, the Commander Of the British squad
ron at Grcytol0n ,oould haze tabcn de
initiatire, and used forcible means, if
necessary, to compel Walker to sur
render and quit the territory Of Near
aqua. In this emergency, We think
that the Commodore exercised a wise
discretion in taking the stops he did,
even at the risk Of technically invading
the sovereignty of Nicaragua 1t is
far better that he should have made
the fllibusters prisoners than that a
British officer should have done so, and
that whatever steps were to be taken on
this continent to preserve peace and or.
der and prevent outrage, should be ta
ken By american officers, under the
American flag"

ny THE LATE DR. u'oiNN.
There was a lady lived at Leith,
A lady very stylish, man,
And yet, IN spite Of all her teeth,
She fell in love with an lrishman.
A nasty, ugly lrishmau,
a Wild tremendous Irishmon,
A tearing, swearing, humping, humping,
ramping, roaring Irishman.
HE face wus nOwnya beautiful,
For with smallpox twas Scared across
And the shoulders Of the ugly dog
Were almost double a yurd across.
o, the lump Of an lrishmau,
The whisky -devouring Iriahman--
The great he-rogue, with his wonderful bruguo,
tho rioting, fighting Irishm0n.
One Of his eyes was bottle green,
The other eye was out my dear
The calves Of his wicked-looking legs
Were more than two feet about, my dear.
o, the great big Irishman,
The rattlng. battling Irishman-
The stamping, rsmping, swaggering, stnggor-
ing, leathering swosh OF an lrishmau.
He took so much Of the Luudy Foot,
That he used to snort and shuttle, o,
And Ia shape and size the fellows neck
Was as bad as the neck Of a buffdo.
o. the horrible lrishman, imam
The bundering laundering Irish.
The sIashlng dashiug, smashing, lashing
thrashing, hashlng IrIshmon.
His name was a terrible Name indeed,
Being Timothy, Thaddy Mulliguu,
And whenever no emptied his tumbler OF
punch,
He'd not rest till he fluid Il full ugsiu.
The boozing, bruising Irishmdu,
The 'toxicatiug Trishman,
The whisky, frlsky, rummy, gummy, brandy

This was the lad the lady loved,
Like all the girls Of quality;
And he broke the skulls Of the men Of Leith
Just by way Of jolty
o, the eathering lrishman,
The barbarous, savage Irishmau-
The hearts Of the maids, and the gsntlemsn's
heads,
Were bothered, Pm sure, by this Irishmun.
