every one read it and learn patriotism from
the bps of our great historian. The pride
Of the Democracy in its prOudest days,
keeping pace with the progress of the
times, to-day, summons all the powers of
his noble diction, splendid figures and cleo
tric eIoquence, to the delineation of the i'm
mortal principles of human liberty and the
enforcement of the universal obligations Of
the acknowledgment of human rights.

PAY oAsH.

As bit of friendly advice to our readers
at the present time, we would say, buy moth
ing that you can do without, unless you are
able to pay for it in cash. The credit system
has generally been the bahe Of the poor man
in tempting him to buy on credit with the
hope of a more prosperous future in which
to pay. That hoped for future seldom
came and his little all was eventually swal-
lowed up to pay for what he had bought,
not because he needed it, but because he
could get it on credit. The present is es-
pecialIy bad time TO buy on credit. The
secretary of the Treasury persists in his eff
forts to contract the currency and force
specie resumption. We believe it to be a
suicidal policy, but unless Congress firmly
opposes his scheme and curtails instead of
extending the Secretary power, he will GER
tainly try the dangerous experiment, and
this is why we give the warning. If forced
to a sudden resumption of specie. payment,
it will only be reached through one of the
most tremendous financial crashes that has
ever been known The result of such a
crash win be to bring ruin upon thousands
who are now happy and prosperous stop
our manufacturing and railroad enterprises,
and reduce the prices of labor and produce
to the very lowest point Every one can
understand how difficult it viii be, with la
Dor at fifty cents per day and wheat at sew
enty-fve cents or dollar per bushel, to pay
debts contracted when labor was worth one
dollar and fifty cents per day, and wheat
worth two dollars and twenty five cents per
bushel with everything else in a proportion.
Yet this is likely to be the unfortunate con-
dition Of every one who incurs debts in the
face ofa threatened financial reyulsion We
are sorry that it becomes our duty thus to
warn our friends, and discourage the under
taking of enterprises, at present, that ne
cessitate credit, but it is the only safe course
until the Secretary of the Treasury changes
his present views or Congress so restricts his
powers and defines his duties as to unableus
to determine with reasonable degree of
certainty our future financial condition

VETO OF THE FREEDMAN's BILL.

The Presidents message vetoing the
Freedmen Bureau Bill was transmitted to
and read in the Senate on Monday. 1t has
caused considerable excitement in political
circles. Whether Congress viii attempt to
pass it over the veto or modify its form re-
mains to be seen. Some such measure is
absolutely necessary to secure the lives and
property Of the Freedmen Whether the
President suggests any other practicable
method of providing for their safety we can
not say as we have not yet had time to read
the message.

MOnthiy Report of the Department of
Agriculture.

Agriculture
We are indebted to Commissioner New
ton for this exceedingly interesting report
of the Department of Agriculture, for Jan
uary, 1866. The report regards the greatly
decreased Importation Of foreign wool in
1865, 22,54l,6 ,674 pounds, as a gratifying
decrease, for it shows the progress that is
making in supplying the demands of the
country in commodity SO essential to its
wants and comfort. But the increased i'm
port of woolen goods, being in value $4,-
6S2,62os shows that there is still demand
upon both the grower and manufacturer of
wool which they should meet, and which
they ought under the present tariff duties.
We import nearly million dollars worth
of cigars; these, we suppose, are mostly of
the best Havana; but if, as is alleged by
the cigar manufacturer, this is occasioned
by the internal tax being greater than the
duty Of foreign articles, such an inequality,
the report suggests should not be permit
ted.
The report embraces number of tables
exhibiting the yield per acre Of the leading
crops of 1864 and 1865, and their prices on
the first day of January, 1865 and 1866.
The comparison shows a favorable yield in
1865, but great falling off in prices during
the fall and winter Of 1865. This decline
is severely felt by the farmers, because the
scarcity of labor made the production Of the
crop of 1865 very costly. Add to this the
continued high rates Of everything they
buy, and there is cause for the complaints
that reach the department. We quote from
the table, showing the average yield per
acre and the average prices Of the principal
crops Of the loyal Atlantic States for 1864
and 1865, confirming our attentioa to our
own. State:
