q thought in its discussion OF the relations DE-
tween New England and tho rest OF the Union'
and Of the relations between farming and the
intellectual pursuits which used to be thought
IN lie beyond its province. As, in these crowded
DAYS of politics and war we utterly lack room
IN nrint such an address, we give one or TWO
extracts ~ indications of its tenor and purpose
And first, one passage as to the position OF New
England in the Union:

Here next is the clear statement OF the, true
secret of the supremacy OF Now-England civil
zation. its influence present and future:
1.-THE uses and the influence Of true learning the

Pursuing the same thought, and not less in
eulogv than il defense Of Massachusetts, Gov,
Andrew says,
"Of what account will bs the snesrs at Massachu-
sets Of those who hold It hercsy TO think, long as

And this is the appeal which Yankee Gov
ernor addresses to his "olose-fsted." narrow
minded" "litte-sollel," "mud-sill" constit.

Space fails US to continue quotations, bat we
presume the address will be published and
widely circulated By the Society, as well as
through tho New.England press. 1t deserves
to 20 West as well as East, as a message to the
farmers Of the praires that New-Engand looks
TO them as brethren in the same work, and that
within the six North-E Eastern States at least
resides no particle Of that selfish and sectional
spirit which malevolent politicians, for partisan
purposes, have sought to create and inname.
