ROADS UP AND DOWN HILL.

When the roads of large part of the newer portions of the Northern States were 1aId out. the surveyors aimed strea auously to have them in vertical plane, instead of horizontal one that is, straight, without deviating to the right or left, at the expense of climbing up and eown hills indefinitely. We could point out many instances in proof of this peculiar kind of wisdom-where the road would be little or no longer, if it had bent to the right or left, to avoid hill-on the same principle that the bail of kettle is of no greater length when ly- ing down horizontally than when standing erect On a good hard earth road, team will draw twenty five times as much as it could lift vertically and on Q smooth, hard, broken stone road, fifty or sixty times as much but as soon as the horizontal is changed to a steep ascent, the force required to draw the load becomes enormously increased. We have seen hills fifty to Q hundred feet high, that
 might have been as well avoided as not. had it not been for the fact that some neighboriRg farmer did not want the boundary of his

 CTS may remember the turnpike road west
 from Boston, built on the erroneous supposi- tion that a road may be effectively shorter by
 passing straight on, 80 far as deviating to the right or left is concerned, but continually up and down hill. Nobody would travel this costly road-it was too hard for horses-and the vast expenditure for forty costly miles was entirely thrown away and individuals ruined. Sometimes cattle know more than rnen-we lately witnessed clear. example to prove it. The owner of snug little farm constructed smooth hard farm road from his

Of all men before The iaW, and the consent of

Republican government according to Amer.
ican institutions.
The slavo-masters, driven from thoir frst
iptrcnchments, already occupy their inner
dofeDcos. Property in man is abandoned I;
but they now insist that colored persons
shall not enjoy equal political rights. Lib.
erty has boon won. The battle for equal
rights is still ponding. And now new
compromise is proposed, by which coorod
persons are to be sacrificed in tho namo of
State Rights 1t is sad that il should be 90.
But l do not despair. The cause may be
delayed; but it cannot be lost; and ell who
set themselves against it will bo ovorborne I;
for it Is tho cause of Humanity. Not the
rich and proud, but tho p and lowly, will
! be the favoritos OF an oniranchised Repub-
lie. The words of tho prophet will DO ful-
filled: "And | will punish tho people for
their OWL, and the wicked for their iniquty.
and viii cause the arrogance Of the Iroud

Of tho torrblc. l WILL MAKE A MAN
