my testimony before tho Cuvade Investigating
Committee Of Congress has been Published IN the
New York papers.
Much aud long as we may have differed on 20.
litcal questions. have faith that you Will be
willing to 10 mo justice by truthful publication
Of the facts ol the case

before the committee; also, n copy Of my letter
Of 2Sth June. 1851, to Mr.. Buchanan, and TO
which his Of July Eth was reply.
Accompanying this is my statement to the com
mittce as regards this letter, to produce which |
reserved my right.
submit the whole to an impartial public with
this comment only: That the correspondence
proves that Mr.. Buchanan and myself concurred
IN the spring Of 1857 in the construction of the
Kansas and Nebraska act, that it required the
submission of the constitution to the vote OF the
people of Kansas. To that construction of that
act which Mr.. Buchanan and myself were both
sworn to support, adhered and therefore con-
sdcrod the refusal of the Convention to submit
the constitution TO the vote of the people as q
clear violation of the Kansas and Nebraska act.
and therefore, under its distinct provisions, null
and roid. | was sworn to support that law, and
50 Mr.. Buchanan. did support it, and
therefore opposed the Withholding Of the consti-
tuition from the vote Of the people. 1t is quito
clear, rs was the opinion of Mr.. BuchShan and
myself, that tho Kansa, act required the submis-
sion Of the constitution to the vote of the people;
and any action in Kansas repugnant to that act
was. under its provisions. null and void. So |
regarded such action, and therefore it was my du-
ty TO oppose it.
But there were other reasons The pro-
gramme finally adopted did not, as pretended,
submit even the slavery question to the vote of
the people, nay, it deliberately, and willfuly, and
fraudulently withheld that question from their
vote. The only question submitted was "For the
constitution with slavery9 and For the constitu-
ton without slavery :" thus excluding by delibe-
rate fraud from this vote all, constituting an over
whelming majority. who opposed to the con-
stitutinn. And this was the very reason given to
me by Calhoun the President u the Convention,
why this peculiar language Was selected. 1t
a wretched device of fraud and vilany.
| send you copy, preserved in the hnndwri
ting Of my Secretary. of my letter OF the 2Sth
June, 1857, to which Mr.. Buchanan's was II reply.
That letter. disclosing my inmost thoughts, and
never intended to meet the public eye, will show
how false has been tho statement that my action
in Kansas was hostile to the South 1t was all
in their favor to the extent Of the just and hon
est exercise of my power in Kansas. | believed,

RICULTU RAJ.
HOW TO NOW.

a smile wreathes the lip of our veteran
farmer, as he reads the heading of this
article Can an editor teach me anything
new in that linel oh no, sir, perhaps
not, but let us hint word or two to your
sons, or to some young men who have not
such skillful fathers to instruct them. We
want them to learn this art Alright, and
they will never forget it,
This is one of the most fatiguing oper-
ations of farming, and the more SO, be-
cause it has to be done in very warm
weather, Any hints to tighten the labor
will be very useful. In the first place,
then, rise early, and begin before sunrise
BY doing SO, and having your scythe
sharpened and in proper order the night
before, you may get half days work
done by nine o'clock The GOODNESS of the
morning air, and the dew on the grass,
will both help along the labor. AT nine
clock, you may retire to the house, or to
some shady tree, and rest yourself for
several hours, while your slow neighbor is
sweating through the midday, and per
haps hurting himself by over work and by
taking down large draughts of cold water
to allay his thirst. Between two and three
o'clock YOU may begin work again, re-
freshed and vigorous, and may labor till
sunset with little fatigue.
BY all means keep your scythe in good
order constantly. Let it be adapted to the
surface of the ground to be moved. If
that is level and free from Instructions,
the scythe may be long and almost
straight, and it will work easy. If the
ground is broken, or covered with stones
or low stumps, the. scythe must be short
and crooked.
While the snath should not be too hea-
W, neither should it be so light as to
trcmblo and shake in the mower hand /;
also, never let it become loose from the
blade, as this will cause it to catch upon
every obstruction, and require great
waste of strength to make it cut. Many
young mowers, in their haste to get over
certain piece of ground, often worry
themselves by this little neglect,
1t is very pleasant to NOV in company,
but young and inexperienced mowers
should be careful how they pit themselves
agains the brawney arms of old and
stronger workmen. Many promising
young man has been injured for life by
his ambition to be though great now
CT.
Hoping that our young laborers will be
careful when following close to each other,
We commend them to their noble work
and hope they will pass through the hay
harvest in good health, and gather abun-
daut crops.-Americaas .agricuituria.

Y UNG Corn OMELET.-To a dozen
ears of fine young Indian corn allow five
eggs; boil the corn quarter of an hour,
ana then, with large Crater, CRATE it
down with the cob; beat the eggs very
light, and then stir gradually the grated
corn into the pan of eggs, add small
Saltspoon of salt and very little cayenne;
put into hot frying pan equal quantities
Of lard and fresh butter, and stir them well
together over the fire, when they boil, put
III the mixture thick, and fry it, afterwards
browning the top with red hot shovel
or salamander transfer it, when done
to heated dish, but do not fold it over.
1t will be found excellent. This is good
way of using boiled corn that has been
left from the preceding day,

REMEDY FOR SHORT PASTURE.

Those who have but limited range of
pasture and keep stock enough to crop it
well, are almost at the mercy of the wealth
cr If there chance to be favoring rains,
and a good reason for the growth Of grass
and clover, all is well but if, as frequent
ly occurs, there comes a long period Of
drouth, the Drowned fields already closely
cropped, suffer severely, having little to
protect the roots from the full power Of the
sun, and the cattle suffer yet more. The
milk pals show serious diminution, the
trying profits shrink, and the stock falls
of when they should be gaining, A So
we're check of this kind will be felt, too,
throughout the season, for much Of the
pasture may be " Summer killed." and the
full flow of milk can hardly be regained.
This may be guarded against by putting
in small plot of corn, sorghum, miIlet or
9thor suitable crop for cutting and feeding
green. An acre of corn sown now, will
very soon yield sufficient to give great re-
lief to short pasture. 1t is not necessary
to stable the cows; cut good supply for
them, and feed night and morning before
they leave the yard; they will eat it with
"a relish, and make ample returns in the
milk pans and churn. Even if the threat
cnsd drouth should not come, and abun-
dance of grass should grow, the soiling
crop should not be lost. Cut at the prop
er season, and properly cured, it will not
come amiss next Winter.
