The Homestead measure is receiving
rough usage at the hands of the United
States Senate. This measure, like eve
rything national in its character, is
strenuously and violently opposed by
the Senatorial shareholders. They
find in it the germs of free labor-they
discover that it is a measure destined
to snatch from their polluting grasp
the virgin soil of the nation. These
serious objections should present
wcighty considerations to the poor,
hard-working man of the North. The
Southern objections to the Homestead
Bill are based on the premises that poor
white men are no better than slaves
that they are not entitled to the enjoy
ment or possession of single foot Of
Gods earth-that they are the proper
ty of the rich and powerful. And
herein consists the impending danger
Of slavery. The direct. obvious, and
Legitimate tendency of the institution
is to create rich and powerful oligar-
chy. The aims of this monied oligar.
chy are purely selfish. 1t would crush
out the noble sympathies of the masses
trample under foot the inalienable
rights of .Jireenae'a, Cypress the honest
poor, and build on the ruins of consti-
tutional liberty the hideous and insight
ly edifice of a great CENTRAL DEsPoT-
ISM. There is no truth more transpar.
ent and palpable than there is of neces-
sity an "irrepressible conflict between
free and slaye labor. That conflict is
now being waged in the Senate, be-
tween the friends and enimies of the
Homestead measure. This is only one
phase of the conf1ict-therc are others
lowering up in the dim and shadowy
future.
The sole plea of the oligarchy against
the free home system is, that it would
elevate the poor man, and have ten.
dency to make him respectable. The
party in the Senate who are trying to
carry ont this infamous doctrine are in
close communion with the Democratic
party of the North. The Shareholders
are not the friends of the poor man,
but they have (strange anomaly men
in the Northern Free States who go
| hand-in- with them. The slave.
holders, who are now trying to defeat
the Homestead measure, are calling on
the poor Democrats of the North to as
sist them in their nefarious attempts at
creating more slave Territory and
spreading the curse of human bondage.
How it is, that poor.men will persistent
ly adhere to party which is working
against his best interest, which is aim
ing TO deprive them of free homes,
which in the South is withholding from
them the benefits of the common school
system, and keeping them on a level
with their lorded slaves, is perfect
mystery to us. These Southern Sena-
tors, in high standing in the Democrat
ic party, do not hesitate to call poor
men criminals, and poverty crime.
We believe that the conflict of sep
aration Of poor men from the ranks of
the Democratic party is fast approach
ing. They cannot long blind their eyes
and shut their ears to the high-handed
outrages and insults which they are al
most daily receiving at the hands of
cruel and unreleDting taskmasters in
the persons of Democratic Senators.
Let the irripressible conflict advance!
I-NarshaU Statesman.

| Cattle.
The State Commissioners of Massa-
|chusetts have commenced the slaugh-
TER Of injected cattle in Worcester
county. AT the-farm Of DR.. Alden
Woods, twenty-one Durham cows,
with eight or ten calves, were killed.
At the farm of Mr.. Alanson A. Need
ham, who has lost seven animals bv
the disease, the twenty three remaining
were killed. After death they were
buried all in one deep hole. The stock
Of Mr.. Leonard Stoddard, some City or
sixty in number, will probably all be
killed. Mr.. Stoddard, who understands
very well the value of manure, has dug
hole at the side of every tree in his
orchard, and intends to deposit one
slaughtered animal at the foot of each
tree. A letter in the Boston Courier
says:
Up to this time the whole number Of
animals killed had been one hundred and
eight, valued, it was said, at FIVE thou
sand dollars. As the whole appropria-
ton was only ten thousand dollars, and
one hundred fresh cases were reported,
the Commissioner decided to stop the
slaughter til! the Governor could DO
consulted. 1t is evident that this APP
preparation was but drop in the buck
ct to what will be required to extermi-
nate the disease.
If they stop, here, the money already
spent will avail nothing. It appears
by the testimony Of stock owners, that
the disease is as contagious as small
pox. When the cattle are turned ont
to pasture, as they must be very soon.
no limits can be assigned to the spread
of the disorder. If any thing is done
it must be done quickly. The course
to be adopted will probably be known
to morrow or next day at farthest.
This difficulty will put damper on
the State Fair at Springfield next fall.
People say they would not let their
cattle go there at any price. Buyers
at Brighton are very suspicious Of beef
from this locality. 1t is thought that
the process Of determination will occu-
Ply the summer months. A report was
in circulation this morning that one Of
the Commissioners had resigned, and
second thought seriously of doing the
same thing.
The Irdveler states that the Govern
or and the Commissioners had held 3
meeting in the State House, and had
discussed the expediency of calling an
extra session of the Legislature. 1t
was finally decided that a medical
board of the most experienced veteri-
nary surgeons should be employed TO
make further investigation, and the
killing of cattle be suspended until the
result of the observations are known.

THE MASSACHUSETTS CATTLE DIS

raised to defray all expenses necessary
in arresting the spread of the cattle

talked Of which it is thought the State
will repay.
