ducts of this part Of the State are much
less than they should be, considering the
richness Of the soil. Tho vallies are
very rich, producing very large corn, the
ears appearing prominent, fully one foot
higher than a good farm fence. Grass
is produced in great quantities, more so
than 10 Michigan. Neat stock and mules
are grown in large droves cheaply, as they
subsist without feed nearly all the year.
But everything is done here in the most
slovenly manner-no barns, and the
dwellings of the lower class Of whites
and negroes are unfit for that purpose.
Only once in long distance can be found
a dwelling Of any pretentions, and those
usually finished up by sticking from three
to four chimnies on the outside. Travel
ing through a well settled portion Of
Kentucky, nearly one hundred miles, l
have yet to sec the first schoolhouse, and
no blacks, nor more than one white per-
son in ten, who are grown up, can read or
write. Hundreds of children here, un-
der fourteen years of age, do not know
one letter of tho alphabet; and men look
ed surprised to see the common soldiers
of our regiment writing home to their
friends. The most abject looking and
really barbarous race Of whites l ever
saw is the poor whites of this country,
only few of the most aristocratic being
educated and those only partially. The
question that naturally rises is, are mex
cusable ignorance, none or few public
presses, and no public spirit among the
people, necessary concomitants of slavery
But more at another time.

The Recognition of Hayti.

1t seems 10 us that if there is one i'm
portant point to be secured in our for
eign diplomacy it is the recognition of
Hayti, treaty of commerce with her,
and the securing Of well fortified coaling
station at some one of her ports.
The attempt which Spain is making
TO re-conquer her ancient dominion in the
new world must be met. The people Of
the United States are not prepared to
throw the Monroe doctrine overheard, and
Hayti can be made the base Of opera
tons from which 10 operate upon the
Spanish possessions in the West Indies.
We can not afford to sacrifice such adj
vantages as the sincere friendship Of the
Haytie Government would offer us to
the negropholic prejudces which oppose
its recognition. Hayti will, if assured of
our certain friendship and support, make
n most faithful ally.
She will gladly receive all our surplus
colored population, and if the emigration
of the better class of our free colored peo-
pie to Hayti is encouraged by our gov
ornment, and such measures as may be
necessary taken for their protection there,
we may yet see the day when the pro-
tecting stars and stripes will wave over
the whole island.
Our foreign policy will be entirely
changed by the present war. We shall
hereafter be compelled TO maintain navy
sufficient TO protect us against any sud-
den raid upon our commerce by Great
Britain or France, and we shall need to
acquire territory for coaling depots, ana
naval stations abroad. AT any rate, we
must hold the supremacy in American
waters, as necessary for our safety. p.

Joint Resolutions

For the location and establishment Of

ton of which are held by Foreign Gov
eminent, thus exposed to incursions and
invasions, by which the immense COM

erty of its citizens are subject to capture
and devastation, and absolutely demand

and protection of the Federal govern
ment. Therefore,
RESOLVED, That our Senators in Con-
gross be instructed and our Representa-

leaves the question open to discussion.
The bill introduced Cor the purpose Of des-
iehating the site, after several amend
ments and references, on its final pas
sage designatcs " Grand Harea, or such
other suitable harbor on the eastern shore
of Lake Michigan, or western shore Of
Lake Huron, as shall be selected BY the
Naval Department for that purpose"
Now arises the question, where as The
most suitable point, and the one that will
best answer the design of the General
Government in the establishment Of
public work of SO much local and national
importance and magnitude! Of course,
zoe, unhesitatingly, pronounce in favor of
Grand Haven, and are very willing to
submit the question TO any unbiased mind
il this is not the most suitable point,
when its advantages are but even hastily
considered.
In the first place, it has been acknowl-
edged, again and again, by government
surveyors, sent out for the purpose of in
specting our lake coasts and harbors, that
ours is decidedly the best harbor on Lake
Michigan, that no other is at all so well
calculated TO afford safe entrance to YES
sells in "foul weather." and to afford
them such ample protection when once
quietly moored at the base Of its gigan-
tic hills.
Again, q sufficency of water can east
ly be secured in the channel, from the riv-
err to the deep water of the Lake, to float
the proudest ship now in our navy, or
the civilized world combined, that could
be placed on our vast inland seas to
force passage to effect a conquest.
A chain of Notifications the most Of
fective, could, if necessary, be constructed
from the lighthouse to Mil Point or
Nortonville, each one of which would
render the attempted ingress Of any YES
sci of war extremely hazardous, to say
the least, and effcctually discourage sec
ond attempt. And the stupendous hills,
on either side, would prove an effective
and eternal barrier to bombardment by
shot or shell.
Again, we have rs fine n location for
ship, docking and depot facilities, as
can be found any where in the Great
West, and room enough to float fleet
that could withstand any force that could
be brought against it.
And lastly, we have the greatest abun-
dance of rs fine oak and other timber for
ship building as can be found in any port
of the world, and that can be procured
close at hand, and on the most reasonable
terms. Now what more is desirable for
so great an enterprise that we can not
supply.
There are other weighty and important
favorable considerations which we intend
20 note in future.
Citizens of Ottawa County, do YOU
wish to enjoy the benefit of this Govern
ment work-a work that is destined tc
favorably affect every branch of industry
Labor with your might to secure it. Lei
no honorable means be untried that will
induce the General Government to regard
our superior claims favordJly.

close to the Canadian frontier, and in case
Of war with England, is by no means
so easily defended as harbor upon the
western shore of Lake Michigan. Sho'd
Saginaw Bay be blockaded by British
fleet, no assistance could be afforded,
while, with good forts at Mackinaw, were
the straits blockaded, we would have not
only our naval marine at Grand Haven,
but Chicago, Milwaukee, and all other
cities upon the shores of Lake Michigan,
could arm their ships, and aid in forcing
the blockade. Again, Chicago and 9th
er points east and west, will aid US, while
we can receive no effective aid from abroad
for Saginaw. Besides. the harbor Of
Grand Haven has been surveyed by gov
eminent surveyors, and reported upon ia
vorably, and if established at all, it will
be done during the present session Of Con-
gress.
There should be unanimity of senti-
ment upon this question. Probabilities
only are in our favor, and we should run
no risk of losing boon, which would do
so much for the development of our re-
sources, and add SO largely to the wealth
and prosperity of our citizens. Let not
the chances be thrown entirely away in
favor Of other LOCALITIES.
Great credit is due to Hon. Il. w. Fer
ry, for the time and attention given to
this matter, and should Congress select a
harbor in our State, it may be safely said
that more credit will be given him for his
perseverance, in the conception, as well
as the success Of the enterprise than to
any other man.-Lansing Republican,

Our SHARE OF THE WAR TAx.-The
recent action of our State Legislature rel
atve TO our share of the $2O,00O,o00
war tax, will doubtless commend itself TO

all tax payers of the State, to witt
That the State release to the general gov
eminent so much of It's indebtedness TO
us for furnishing and equipping our sol
diers for the war as shall liquidate the
100000 apportioned as our share of said
tax, said release 10 be executed on or be-
fore the 30th day of June next. r
The original Indebtedness of the gene
raj government to our State amounted to
100000, of which $92, 900 has been re-
funded, leaving yet balance in our favor,
after paying our share Of tho lax, of some
$4,000. The Legislature has further pro-
vided for tie payment of any and all tax
es that mny be apportioned to us for the
year to come, on account of the war, by
a pro rata tax upon all taxable property
in the State. We commend the prompt
response Of our State to tho demand Of
the general government for its share Of
the bone and sinew !" of the war, and
hope the people, the ,ohole people, will
respond with equal alacrity to the call up
on their liberality and patriotism.
