Congress OF the 18th Of May last, | have
caused the department OF agriculture Of the
United States TO be organized. The com
missioner in fol ms me that within the period
of few months the department has estab
/ lished an extensive system OF correspondence
and exchanges, both at home and abroad
which promise to effect highly bene eficial re
sui in the development OF a correct knowl
edge Of recent improvements in agriculture
in The introduction OF new products and in
the collection OF the agricultural statistics oi
the different States; also that it will soon
be prepared to distribute largely seeds, ee-
reals, plants and cuttings, and has already
published and literally diffused much valua
BILE Information, in anticipation Of q more
elaborate report, which will in due lime he

chemical science, now in progress in the Ia
boratory. The creation OF this department
was for the more immediate benefit of o
large Glars of our most valuable citizens, and
tru-t that the liberal basis upon which il
has been organized will not only meet your
appreciation, but that it will realize, at no
distant day, all the io1dest anticlpations ol

fruitful source OF advantage to all our people.
On the 22d day of September last, proc

COMPENSATED EMANCIPATION.
In accordance with the purpose expressed
in the second paragraph f,hat paper, now
respectfully recall Your attention to what
may be called Compensated Emancipation" 4"
A natIop may be said to consist Of It's terri
tory, its people and its laws. The territory
is the only part which is Of certain durabili
ty. One generation pssseth away and an
other generation Gomez b, but the earth abb
deth forever. 1t is OF the iirst importance to
duly consider and estimate this ever enduring
part. That portion OF the earth's surface
which is owned by the people Of the United
States is well adapted io be The home o; one
national family, and it is bot we'll adapted
for two or more. Its vast extent and lis
variety of climate and production are of ad
vantage in the age oil one people, whatever
they might have been in former ages! Steam
and telegraph, in intelligence. have brought
these to be an advantageous combination Icr
one united people.
THE FUGITIVE SLAVE Law.
| In the Inaugural Address briefly point
ed out the total nadequacy OF disunion IS
remedy ior the differences between the peo
| pie OF the two sections. | did so in language
which / cannot improve, and which, there
lore, beg to repeat: "One section OF ,oui
country believes slavery is right, and ought
to be extended. while The other believes ii IS
wrong and ought not to be extended. This
is the only substantial dispute. The fugitive
slave clause Of the Constitution, aud the law
for he suppression OF the A lrcan slave trade
are each as well enforced, perhaps, as any
law cap ever lie in community where the
moral sense Of the people mperecty sup-
por he law itself. The great body Of the
people abide by the dry legal obligation il
both cases, and few break over 10 each.-
This think cannot be per 'ectly cured, anC
it would be worse In both cases after the
separation of the sections than before. The
foreign slave trade, now imperectly sup
pressed, would be ultimately revived with
cut restriction In one section, while fugitive
slaves, now only partially surrendered, woulc
not be surrendered at all by the others
Physically speaking, we cannot seperate; we
cannot remove our respective sections from
each other nor build an mpassible wall be-
tween them. A husband and wife may bt
divorced, and 50 out Of the presence and be-
yond the reach of each other, but the differ

They cannot but remain lace to lace, ant

then, to make that intercourse more advan
