LETTER FROM DAN'L. WEBSTER To o TAYLOR
JoHN TAYLOR: Go ahead. The heart
OF the winter is broken, and before the
first day Of April all your land NAV b.
plowed. Buy the oxen of Capt. Mars
ton, if you think the price fair. Pay
for the hay. | send you a check for
Sl6O, fVr those objects. Put the great
oxen in a condition to be turned out and
fattcd. You have a good horse team,
and, | think, in addition to this, four OK
Ell and a pair of fUur-year Old steers
will,do your work. If you think 50.
then dispose of the Stevens oxen or un.
yoke them and send them to pasture, for
beef. know not when | shall see you.
but hope before planting. Ifyou need
anything, such as Guano, for instance.
write to JOseph Breck, Esq, Boston, and
he will send it to you.
Whatever ground You sow or plant,
sec that it is i'll good condition. We
want no pennyroyal crops. A little
farm well TILED is to q farmer the next
best To a little wife well willed.' Gull
tivate your garden. Be sure to- pro
duce sufficient quantities of useful veg
ctabics. \ man may half support his
family from aEuod garden. Take care
to keep my mothers garden in good Or
der, even if it costs you the wages of a
man to take care of it. / have sent you
many garden seeds. Distribute them
among your n~ciGhborS. Send them to
the stores i'll the village, that every body
may have Il part of them without cost.
| am glad that you have chosen Mr..
Pike Representative. lie lisa true man;
but there are in New Hampshire MANY
persons who call themselves Wings
are no Wings at all, and no better than
disunionists. Any MAJ who hesitates
in granting aud securing to every part
of the country its constitutional rights,
is an enemy to the whole country.
John Taylor-lf n of your boys
should say that he honors his father and
mother, and loves his brothers and Sis
tiers, but still insists that one of them
should be driven out of the family. what
can you say of him but this, that there
is no real family love nhim ? You and
| are farmers; we never talk politics;
bur talk is. of oxen; but remember this:
any man who attempts to excite
one part of the country against another,
is just as wicked as would be ono who
got up a quarrel between John Taylor
and his neighbUr, old Mr. John Sanborn,
or his other n~ciglIbor, Capt. Burleigh.--
There arc some animals that live best in
the fire; and there are some men who
delight in heat, smoke, combustion, and
general contlagration. They do
not follow the things which make for
peace. They enjoy only controversy,
contention and strife. Have no commu-
Mon with such persons, either as neigh
bors or politicians. You have no more E
right to say that slavery ought not to d.
exist in Virginia than a Virginian has
to say that slavery ought to exist in
New Hampshire. This is "a question left
to every State to decide for itself; and
mean to keep the States together, we
must leave to every State this power Of
deciding for itself.
81 think ! never wrote you a word
on politics. | shall not do it
! only say, love your country.
and your whole country; and when men
to persuade you to get into a
quarrel with the laws of other States,
ell them that you mean to mind your
own business and advise them to
mind theirs. John Taylor-you are a
rec man; you possess good principles;
you have a large family TO rear and
for by your labor. Be thankful
the Government which does not op-
press you, which does not bear you
by excessive taxation, but which
holds out to you and yours the hope of
Ill the blessings which liberty, industry
md security may give. John Taylor
hank God, morning and evening, that
were born in such a country. John
Taylor-never write me another word
ipon politics. Give my kindest remem-
to your wife and children; and
YOU look from your eastern win
upon the graves Of my family, re-
member that he who is the author of
his letter must soon follow them to an
'ther world. DANIEL WEBSTER"
