Abe Lincoln on smokes.

The illustrations of Lincoln in his lee
lures through New England are remarka-
bic as well as unanswerable. The follow
ing is one Of his illustrations rtade at New
Haven; Conn. Speaking Of the rights and
wrongs of Slavery, he said:
"The other policy is one that squares
with the idea that slavery is wrong, and ii
consists in doing everything that we ought
to do if it is wrong Now / don't wish to
be misunderstood, nor to leave gap down
70 be misrepresented, even | do nj mean
that we ought to attack it where it exists.
70 the it seems that If we were to form a
government anew, in view of the actual
presence of slavery, we should find it nee
'essafy 10 frame just such government as
our fathers did; giving to the slave holder
the entire control where the system is es-
Itablished, while we possessed the power to
restrain it from going outside those limits.
Applause. From the necessities Of the
case we should be compelled TO form just
such a government as our blessed fathers
gave us; and, surely, if they have so made
it, that adds another reason why we should
let slavery alone where it exists.
s" If | saw a venomous snake crawling in
the road, any man would say | might
seize the nearest stick and kill it; but if
found that snake in bed with my children,
that would be another question Laugh
teri ! might hurt the children more than
the snake, and the snake might bite them.
TApplause. Much more, if found it ii
bed with my neighbor's children, and had
bound myself by solemn compact not to
NEEDLE with lis children under any cir
eumstances, it would become me to let that
particular node of getting rid Of the gentle
man alone. Great laughter. But if there
is a bed newly made up, to which the chill
dren are to be taken, and it was proposed
to take batch of young snakes and put
them there with them, take it no man
would say there was any question how !
ought to decide! Prolonged applause and
cheers.
That is Just the case The new Terrific
ries are the newly made bed to which our
children are to 90, and it hes with the ma
ton to say whether they shall have the
snakes mixed up with them or not. 1t
does not seem as if there could be much
hesitation what our policy should be. APP

Lo, enable us to reply Understandings
to the assertion of the Philadelphia Bulletin
that the hotel keepers Of Chicago Were pre-
pairing to Ileece .th6iv guests by exorbitaut
charges during the week OF the Republican
National Convention, wesent around last
week 70 ascertain what their charges wo'd
be; and from all We have assurances that
the scale Of prices viii not be sdterea in con-
sequence Of the comirs 81, the expected
crowd First class hotels now charge 81. so
per diem; and from that lnaxinlup the
prices descend, to correspond With decrease
il the excellence Of accommodations,s to a
point below which no delegate or outsider
will wish to go. The other charge of the
Bulletin, that the newspapers Of the city
are urging the presence Of = crowd as a
reason why the example Of Charleston may
be initiated, is simply untrue. The Balle-
tin has been misintormed.- Chicago Press

Early Vegetables.

Many farmers are deferred from attempt
Ing to pffoduce very early vegetables, BY an
erroneous idea that the making of a hot
bed is complicated and difficult operation
while it is Just as simple as making hill
of corn. Every man who has a garden d
Whatever size, if he viii once try the ex-
pertinent Of making hot-bed, will, we ven
lturc to predict, find the task SO easy and
the result so satisfactory, that he will never
forego the luxury afterwards All that is
necessary is to make a pile of horse manure
l21 feet deep, with the top level or sloping
little to the South, tEsen set rough
frame made of four boards nailed together
at the corners upon the bed of manure, fill
the frame with 6 inches Of garden soil and
cover with window of glass ANY Old
window will answer the purpose, but it is
better to have the bars Of the sash run only
one way, and to have the glass laid in the
manner of shingles.
The best plants to force IRE tomatoes and
cabbages which may be transplanted from
the hot-bed to the open ground without
any trouble. We have removed tomatoes
when they were in blossom, and had them
all live. If melons or cucuInbers are forced,
they should be planted in flower-pots, and
in transplanting them you turn the pot
over upon your open hand and give it a
gentle thump, when fhe earth comes out
in solid lump and the roots are not dis
turbed in the least While the plants are
growing, they should be watered frequently,
and in warm days the sash should be raised
a few inches to give the plants air. We
have found the growing Of plants under
glass, from small hot-bel, 4 feet by 8,
M to a large grapery for raising the black
Hamburg and Frontignac grapes, the most
Of all horticultural operations.
Having the control Of the climate both in
heat and moisture, the plants can be made
to grow with a vigor which they rarely if
ever exhibit in the open air. "A hot-bed
should be made from four to six weeks be-
fore the time for planting corn.

Passage Of the Homestead Bill in the House
the South solid Again.tIt
WAsHINGroN. March l3l 1860

WASHINGTON, March Isl 1860.
One Of the great Republican measures
the Free Homestead Bill, introduced by
Lovejoy Of Illinois passed the House yes
terday, by the strong vote Of yelis lis to
nays SO. 1t was passed by 4 strictly sec
tional vote Every Northern man present,
with 5ne exception, voted for the bill. And
every Southern man with one exception,
voted against it. All the Americans, even
Winter Davis, voted with the ire-eaters.--
The Northern Democrats bolted from their
Iparty and gave IN their support to this great
Republican measure. Many of them went
for it with much reluctance, and sought by
farious pretexts to escape from facing the
music: but the Republicans were ineNora-
bic; they stood ike a rampant Of granite
against all amendments, delays, references
Ito committees, and every other parliament
tary trick TO which the enemy resorted ID
delay, strange, or defeat this important
bill. They cut off debate by demanding
the previous question, and calling for the
yeas and nays.
One Northern Democrat MONTGOMERY,
of Pa, voted against the bill. He il II
D5uglas delegate to Charleston. james
Craig Of Missouri. who represents the ST.
Joseph district, had the manhood to cast,
solitary and alone, the only vote from aslave
State for Free Homesteads. This vote is Il
recognition Of the mighty change taking
place in his State. The slaves are going
South in droves, or escaping by companies
and their places are filing tp with white
laborers from the free States.
But word as to the provisions Of the
bill. The substance Of it is as followes: 1t
provides that any person aoho Is the head
Iof a family; or has arrived at the age Of n
years, and is a citizen Of the United States.
or who shall hare filed his Intentions ID
become such, shall be entitled to enter free
of cost 100 acres Of the public lands upon
which said person may hare FILED d pre-
emption claim, or which may at the time
application is tladc subject to presumption
at Slips or less per acre, or eighty acres
Of reserved railroad lands which are held at
1880 per acre. No certificate is to be
given or patent issued until the expiration
Of five years from the date of the entry, and
on payment Of So The rights secured
by the actual settler issue to the heirs and
deyisees. The lands thus acquired in no
case to become liable to the satisfaction Of
any debt contracted prior to the issuing
| Of the patent, which is FIVE years after en-
tering it. The charge Of so is to cover
the cost surveying, recording, issuing the
patent, &C., and for the further purpose OF
avoiding the objection that giving away the
lands was unconstitutional, an objection
which the Democrats have raised against
the free homestead principle. Bnt the set
tier viii have five years occupancy Of the
farm before he VIII be called on to pay esen
this trifling sum. The bill provides that
if any person shall abandon his claim for
six months. it shall revert to the Govern
ment, and may be taken possession of by
another person; which is right.
