Last year, MT. ltncrluHc, OF ltuut'0tD' ~
troduccd resolutions into the House, de-
nouncing the revival of the slave trade, and
there were only twonty-one votes cast against
them. these twcnty-onc being Of the class
known as Southern "frc-cators This year
similar resolutions were introduced by Mr.
Kilgorc, Of Indiana, and the vote against them
was cighty-four
This is an instructive change. It shows
how icadily the Democratic party adapts it.
self TO any issue forced upon it. Last year it
hoped to escape the necessity of such an is
sue: but. since then, the South has practi-
caly revived the slave trade and as she de-
mands that the party shall endorse it, the
men who last year voted in condemnation OF
the accurscd traffic are this year found voting
for it,
Let it be understood that every one Of the
cighty-iour is a Democrat, and that the list
embraces the leading Democrats of the North
such men as Coz and Nallandigham, Of
Ohio, and the party hacks generally. A few
Northern Democrats, it is true, did vote the
other way but, as upon all other questions
affecting Slavery. the number was much small
Ter on the second vote than on the first, and
will be reduced 10 nothing on the third.
The party is preparing to take grounds in ia
yor of rowling % trade that has provoked the
stern deuuncations of the world. and its
members will be compelled to fall into the
ranks and fight for it,. or leave.
The prospect now is, that the Democratic
party will go into the canvass OF 1860 on the
following issues
]. Free trade.
.. The acquisition of Cuba and Central
America, for the purpose of extending Slavery.
8. A National slave code for the Territories.
4. Tho revival Of the African slave trade.
3. The concentration of dcspotic power in
the hands of the President, amounting prac-
ticolly TO the abrogation Of the Constitution,

vcntion. They may sugar-coat the pills. to

He gave a simple story Of the social, his
torical, political and religions history Of the
Puritaus including an account of their char
acter, virtues, struggle, and final success in
tho colonies.
The conflicts arising from the alliance Of
Church and State in England, during the
reign of James /. ended in the rebellion of "a
distinct party called Purtuns, formed in
Queen EHlabeths reign, and for political
freedom and religious liberty they fed, first
To Holland, and attcrward to New England
where they succeeded in holding unmolestcd
their own doctrines. Many points in the lee
ture deserve particular notice, and we doubt
not every attentive listener heartily respond
ed to the sentiments Of high regard and rev
oronce. with which the lecturer treated Puri-
tan character and life, rejecting the udiscrim-
mate criticisms OF many authors who have
held up their pocuIiaritics in a false and mis-
taken light Caledoaian.

TAPPING THE MAPLE.-spILES

TAPPING THE MAPLE.-SPlLES'
Some years since, Judge Petdbono Of
Manchester gave the public the results OF
experiments, proving LIST, that the quantity
of sap obtained was proportionate to the
depth Of the incision; ID, that the size OF
the bit with which you bored was immateral'
halfinch yielding as much sap AS an inch.
If these things arc settled, another follows,
namely, the life Of the tree will be destroyed
much sooner by deep than by slight boring,
and much quicker by leaving the orifco open
after removing the Spite than by plugging II
up with a dry smooth stick, sawed of close
to the bark. The rule is, Expose the wound
in the tree to the air as little as possible
If this rule were observed. it would be diff
cult to wear out sugar place. The messy
dcad-limbed, brokon-topped appearance Of
very many sugar orchards reminds us iorclbly
of the sigh of the wise m0n-"Nanity OF van
itics all is vanity
Again, tin or sheet iron spiles are very dct
rimenta they destroy the circulation of sal
around the hole, and leave a large place t.
decay. Use the Sumac Spite. made stout an,
only touching the bark The tree will no
dry mp as quick, and the wound can be twic
as easily cured.
Farmers, save your maples-cutting then
for wood is like Pizzarros ohoeing his horse
with slrer. Increase their number, and pro
long their lives. HAuDBLr.

~ ltis all hosh about the South being
willing to FgH for Cuba. Every Stakeholder
knows the risks of war too well for that. At
sight of the white sails of am Encmy's Fleet
Off Charleston llarbor, his thousand-dollar
darkes would clay down the shovel and the
hoe. to cut and run towards Flag that pro-
missed Freedom. From the day an invading
force landed on the Southern Coast, he would
have the enemy always at his elbow; in tie
laborers of his corn-feld, in the boy that
blacks his boots, in the nurse that rocks the
baby's cradle. He would have to barricade
his house against his own servants lie
would sleep uneasily with revolver under
his pillow. What father of family would
shoulder his musket and march to the tent
ed field, knowing that his departure might
be the signal for his roof to blaze, and his
wife and children to have their throats cut
No the Shareholders want Cuba, but they
don't want it bad enough to risk war for it,
Rather than get it at that price, they would
see the Island sunk to the bottom of the At
lanhc Ocean. Whenever any real danger Of
war about it impends, there will be such
sudden hauling in of horns, such backing
down off platforms, such sudden stoppagC
of buster, such general panic from HavrC

messed since the day when the valiant force,

80 The Washington Union publishes a
statement purporting to have been prepared
by the Clerk of the House of Representatives,
alleging the amount of appropriations made
by Congress at the last session for the service
of the fiscal year ls59--6O. to be Sll.1O3,s
OF. adding that the indefinite appropriations
may amount to $ 800, 600 making an aggre-
gate of less than Sl3 900. 900. The Secretary
reported last December Sl6,OO0,000 as the
balance Of unexpended appropriations appli-
cable to tho service of the next fiscal year
Including this sum the permanent definite and
indefinite appropriations provided for lS59-G0,
are $4,000 600. The Post Office supplies,
deferred only by faction and which will be
passed early in the next session, were 500
/ 500, 600. The whole amount therefore, re-
quired by law during the ensuing fiscal year,
according TO this official statement will be
S70, 100000.
/ Bntit is discovered that the deficit in the
/ Post Office Department was under-estimated
/ by - 100000, which must be added to the
sum before given, in order to arrive at the true
aggregate of actual appropriations aud admit
ted deficiencies. The total is S8l 700 600.
or a little more than the appropriations proyi-
ded last year for the service of the present.
The Union admits that the deficit of revenue
in the Post Office fund, according TO the de-
terred Appropriation bill was Sl2, $500, 900
BY the last statement of the late Postmaster
General, the estimated receipts in that depart.
ment for this year were to be 81, 50O,O 900, and
no expectation was expressed that they would
be greater the next. The appropriations be.
ing S20,50O,000 each year. it follows that the
deficiency is not twelve but fourteen million,
