The Question Stated.

About one-third OF the voters Of the United
States say that Congress has power under the Con-
sttution to exclude Slavery from all the Terrific
ries of the United States.
About two-thrds of the voters of the Uuited
States deny this in toto.
About third Of the voters. (spsaking in round
numbers SAY, that the national government failing
to protect their property, they have the right under
their State sovereignty to secede from the original
compact
The first third having obtained over of the ma
tional government under the forms Of the Consti-
tuition insist on their interpretation that instru-
Eient and ars pToceedngto take possession ofthe
same.
The last third having control or the govern
ments. are proceeding under their Interpretation
of the national COMPACT to withdraw from it.
The other third say and believe that Congress
has no power under the Constitution to create or
abolish slavery in the Territories, cor have the
right constitutionaly secede but believe IN the
righ. Of revolution for redress of wrongs when ~
peaceble measures fail.
Now this, just as near as we can state IT, is the
present actual con liton Of opinions in the United
States.
IN this fearful strife, have discovered all At
once that we have provided no arbitratment in
our gov eminent before, which these questions
can be settled Ifnot, it was an over sight in our
fathers for which hardly frame excuse.
But two thirds Of the above disput nts say they
! did. and that the Supreme Court established
for that and other purposes, and that il has made
decision covering the FIRST case, and by which they
are willing to abide.
But the Jfrst-thifd denied his authority. and np-
peaed, as they tell US to the people and reversed
that decision Al the Eallot box.
The other t.eo thirds deny that there is any legal
or constitutional authority to thus reverse judi
cial decision.
In this conflict ofopinion. VIC are likely to bs
led into an ar.trament of blood.
Now, il there is an appeal to arms aud military
coercion is to be the law, who are TO be coerced
The. first third or the last third These two would
OF course decide that it must be by their opinicus,
aud not themselves, but the second third will
have voice in the matter, and being as conscien-
tious as others, can only arm themselves to keep
the peace, nd seek a settle ment more in accorr
dance with our republican system of government
and the ID ea which it is based, viz that man 10
capable of self government.

as we are capable of and cleMedit of its dross and
subtrefuges, and it will not be amiss to study it
well. and without prejudice or feeling -Medary's

SALT FOR SwINE.-A correspondent Of

In fattening swine. He selected two pairs
OF barrow hogs, weighing 200 lbs. apiece.
One pair received with their daily allow.
ance of food two ounces of salt, the other
pair, similarl y fed, none. In the course
OF week, it was easily seen that the salt
ed pair had a much stronger appetite than
the others, and after fortnight the salt
was Increased to two ounces apiece. Af.
ter four months the weight of the satcd
hogs was $50 lbs. apiece, while that of the
unsal.ed, five weeks later, reached only
800 lbs. This experiment was repeated
with almost precisely the same results =

FEEDING SwINE.-Mr. Taggert, of
Wayne, Ohio, at meeting of the Ohio
State Agricultural Society, said he was
not in favor of offcoding hogs long, to make
them weigh large weights. He kept his
in the clover fed till the beginning of
September then, when the corn begins to
harden, cuts it up, both car and stalk, and
feeds it to them. "One bushel of corn in
September, will fatten more than one and
a half in December" Mr.. 7. recommen.
,ded killing by the 18th of November, as
being the most profitable time, for then
there has been little expenditure of carbon
for the production of heat, when, if left for
another, the cold, wintry storms make
this necessary.

How TO CuosE A FARM HoRsE.-
John Branson, in the Ohio CuItira'or,
gives the following rules to be observed in
the purchase of a horse:
The farmer requires horse that can
take him to market and around his farm,
on which he can occasionally ride for plea
sure, and which he must sometimes use
for the plow and harrow.
First to notice is the eyes, which should
be well examined. Clearness of the eye
is sure indication of goodness; but this
is not all-the eyelids, eyebrows, and all
other appendages must be also considered
for many horses whose eyes appear clear
and brilliant, go blind at an early age (;
therefore be careful to observe whether the
part between the eyolids and eyebrows are
swollen, for this indicates that the eyes
will not last. When the eyes are remark.
ably fat, sunk within their orbits, it is a
bad sign. The iris or circle that sur.
rounds the sight of the eye should be dis
tlnct, and of pale, varicgated, cinnamon
color, for this is sure sign off good eye
The eyes ola horse are never too large.
The head should be of good size, broad
between the eyes, large nostrils, red within
for large nostrils betoken the wind.
The feet and legs should be regarded
for horse with bad feet is like house
with weak foundation, and will do LITTLE
service. The feet should be of middle
size and smooth; the heels should be firm
and not spongy and rotton.
The limbs should be free from blemishe:
of all kinds, the knees straight, the bacl;
sincws strong and we'll braced, the pasterr
joints should be clean and clear of swell
ings of all kinds, and come near the
ground, for such never have the ring bone
Fleshy legged horses are generally sub
ject to the grease and other intirmities ol
that kind, and therefore should not be
chosen.
The body should be of good size, the
back straight or nearly SO, and have only
a small sinking below the withers; the
barrel round and rib coming close to the
-hip,joints. Shoulders should run back
but not too heavy, for horse with heavy
shoulders seldom moves well chest and
arms large.
A horse weighing from 1900 to l,4oO
Us large enough for cart horse from
l,lO0 to 1,2OO is large enough for a far
mer's horse, from 200 to 100 is heavy
enough for carriage horse.
l should advise every one to get some
experimental knowledge of horse before
purchasing.

Compound Extract of SarSaparilla,

the most effectual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady. 1t is COM
bined from the most active remcdials that have
been discovered for the cxpurgaton of this foul
disorder from the blood, and the rescue of the
system from its destructive consequences.
Hence it should be employed for the cure Of
not only scyofula, but also those other affec-
tions which arise from it, such as ERuPrIvB
and SKIN DISEASES, ST. ANrHoNY's FIRE,

EASES, DRoPsY, DYSPEPSIA, DEBILITY, and,
indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM ViTIA-
TED OR IMPURE BLOOD. Tho popular belief
in " impurity Of the blood" is founded in truth,
for scrofula is a degeneration of the blood. Tho
particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsupa-
rilla is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid
without which sound health is impossible in
contaminated constitutions.

Scrofula, or Kings Evil,

is constitutional disease, a corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vtiated,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it
pervadcs the whole body, and may burst out
in disease on any part of it. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor is there one which it may
not destroy. The scrofulous taint is variously
caused by mercurial disease low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above all, by the vcncreal infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con-
stitution, descending from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation !" indeed,
it seems to be the rod of Him who says, "I
will visit the iniquities of the fathers upon
their children"
It's effects commence by deposition from the
blood Of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which genders in the blood, depresses
the energies of life, that scrofulous constitu-
tions not only suffer from scrofulous COM
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of other diseases conse-
quently, vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this taint in the
system. Most of the consumption which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
in this scrofulous contamination and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain,
and, indeed, of all the organs arise from or
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
fection, and their health is undermined by it.
To cleanse it from the system we must renovate
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise.
Such O medicine we supply in
