DICKINSON on THE INSUR-
RECTION.-
The Hon. Daniel s. Dickinson,
in his great speech on Tuesday evening,
at the Old Tammany Democratic ratiti-
cation meeting, thus humorously and
eloquenrly spoke of the recent outbreak
at Harper's Ferry:
have very little to say concerning
the miserable men who have entered IL
to this "irrepressidle conflict" in earnest,
upon whom the law has laid its hand
I will leave them there. But I have
much to say concerning those who set
the ball in motion. This Brown, whom
they now turn their backs upon, was re-
Gently hero. His name was borne up
on every breeze, and mingled with the
loudest shrieks that came from Kansas.
lie was not only John Brown, but Ossa-
wattanl;e Brown, Capt. Brown: Major
Brown and Gen. Brown. (Applause
and laughter.) But now that he is
IN the hands Of the law, he is call
ed "cr9zy old Brown" and left to his
fate What We assert is that tho con-
duct Of Brown and his associates is the
natural and legitimate, if not necessary
harvest from just such sowing as year
after year the Republican party has
made.
/ This slavery question mas been ag;ta
ted without any cause under heaven
So far from slavery advancing upon the
free states, the free states have been adj
vancing upon the slave states, and not
single inch of the Territories of the
United States, either of the old or that
recently acquired from Mexico, was ever
adapted to slavery; for there is not a
rod of it upon which negroes could raise
hemp enough to hang themselves. 1t is
SO i'll adapted to slavery that ifthe slaves
did not run away from their masters,
the masters would have to run away
from their slaves. (Laughter.) ~
Neverthe less, the public mind was
excited, and Republican pulpits, presses
and firesides were redolent Of Kansas
and slave territory. Every reasoning
man knows that in the beginning we
were all slave states: that we were such
when we entered into this federal COM
pact to perpetuate the blessings of liber-
ty. They knew that one by one we be-
came free states, until we had at the
time this ':irrepressihle conflict" was in
augurated a majority Of sixty votes in
the House of Representatives, and six
in the Senate of the United States and
every day the free states were growing
stronger and the slave states numerically
weaker Some Of the slave states, too
stand ready whenever this Republican
pressure shall be removed, to abolish
slavery in their own way and in their
own time, as we in New York have done,
and as has been done in New England,
New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

4 SUR VEI OF The, FIELD
In looking about us we can only
come to the conclusion that in the
next Presidential contest every
electoral vote of the south will be
cast for the nominee of,lhc Dem
ocratic party. The reason Of this,
is not as many sneeringly insin-
uate, that the Democratic party is
in favor of extending the area OF
slavery within the United States,
or that it would lend it's aid to in
crease the strength Of the slave
states in our National Congress,
but, that the Democracy will live
up to the Constitutional compact
formed by the sages and patriots
Of the revolution, baptized and
cemented in their blood; despite
the jibes and sneers Of those that
know no rule of-action. but pop
ular clamor. ... a...s
The Democracy of the North
not only concede to the south It's
constitutional rights, but stand
now as they ever have done upon
the battlement walls OF the Union
ready to battle alike for the pro-
lection and preservation Of each
section from innovation, because
the safety Of the whole absolutely
demands that every department
of the government be confined to
its own legitimate province.
Instead Of urging that q united
South evinces hostility to us OF the
North, the record Of their acts
places them constantly on the de-
fensive, never having made move
at any time, or in any direction to
trample upon the vested rights Of
any section, or to invade any part
ofour common country, Or to die
tate to any state of the Union.
But with the opposition all
their acts have been on the often-
siue, their organization having
but asingle purpose and that was
avowed to be the overthrow of the
institution of slavery, at whatever
cost or hazard.
The worlds history scarcely
shows an instance where any peo-
pie failed to make common cause
against an invasion that threaten
ed an humiliation of their race
or the subve, sion of their institu-
tons. Thus it is with the south.
The statesmen who have spent
their whole lives in battling the
measures of the Democratic party
are no more with us upon those
questions now than they were
when following the lead, and raj.

rg;sts cn Poor Farming.

Invest your capital in fand, and run in
debt for more.
Hire money to stock your farm.
Have no faith in your own business
and be always ready to sell out
Buy mean cows spawned horses, poor
oxen and cheap tools.
Feed bog hay and moaldy corn and
clover exclusively, in order to keep the
stock tame. Fiery cattle are terrible
hard on old, rickety wagons and plows
Use the oil of hickory freely whenever
your oxen need strength. 1t is cheaper
than hay or meal, keeps the hair lively
and pounds out the grubs.
Select such calves as the butcher shuns
beauties of runts, thin in hams,and pot
bellied, but be sure and keep their blooC
thin with scanty herbage. Animals ar
safest to breed from that haven't strength

Be cautious in the manufacture Of ma

Under the head of "a Modern Cinder

the following story:-"In one Of those
filthy alleys which lead out of jackson

named All Choong, who, of all her low

possible to destroy the daguerreotype OF
Cha See which the sun Of affection had
imprinted in her heart.
Now, while thus the damsel was suffer
ing all the horrors of purgatory for the
sake of love, Cha See suffered no less, as
he wandred about the city thinking how
he might circumvent the witch and carry
off the damsel. 1t is said that love is
omniscient and all powerful and so il
seems--for it managed to let All Choong
know that carrige was in waiting at
the corner of the street, and that her
lover waited there to receive her in his
arms. 1t was night, but love has the
eyes of cat; the lass was imprisoned, but
love knows no locks; it was dangerous

love brooks no delay, All Choong took Of

was once the garden of the barbarous
Nero. Early in the sixth century, the
