agement on the part of the State, and of
individual citizens. We trust that the
latter will not be wanting. We are not
prepared to say in what way, nor to
what extent, the State should embark
in the matter. That is a question for
legislative examination that we do not
undertake to pass upon in advance. We
are certain, however, that If the class of
New England people who contemplate
immigration could consult with the
same class who came to this section
years ago, and who are now either rich
or independent, they would not hesi-
tate to follow the example OF their
countrymen. II has been too often
proved to admit of doubt, that this is
the country for honest, frugal and en-
ergetic men to settle in. All such can
do better here, take. one thing with
another, than perhaps in any other sec
ton of the country. The climate
and soil are first-class, and the DO
Iitical land social condition of the
people are of that intermediate charac-
ter that must prove congenial to rea-
sonable men from any part ofthe coun-
try. Our State is developed Union
commonwealth, as decidedly so as
Massachusetts herself, and yet men OF
all parties, save out and out rebels,
can live here and get along just as well
and as comfortably in all respects as
in any State in the Union. We are a
free people to all intents and purposes.
When we cast of the yoke OF Old Vir-
GINA we threw aside bondage of every
sort. Therefore we welcome immi-
grants from all parts of the great free
North We realize that they can be OF
great advantage to us, and likewise us
to them. Let them send their agents
and pioneers amongst US. They will
find that in all the conditions of physi-
cal and civilized life, most conducive
to the prosperity and happiness of men,
West Virginia holds out very superior
advantages.

form, and upon an equal and just val
uation; and the Legislature of the old
State had no right, L submit, TO assess
and tax my farm in this form, and my
neighbours by compromising with him
for the one-twentieth part of his crop,
or in any other form.
But il the old State violated her Con-
stitution, 1t is no reason why the new
State should violate hers. The list
Section, sth Article, of her Constitu-
ton, admits of no doubt. To place 1t
beyond doubt, after adopting the sub
stance of the old States provision that
taxation shall be equal and uniform !"
emitting the slave exception, she adds
this clause, "No one species Of property,
from ichtch a tar may be collected, shat
be taxed higher than any other species Of
property Of Ike UdLue," and then par
ticularly enunciates the kinds of prop
erty that the Legislature may, in its
discretion, exempt. AL property, then,
is TO be UGlIed aud assessed ia q "iInI-
form" manner, according to that UGtue.
How any honest legislator, with an
oath to God upon his soul, to uphold
and observe the Constitution contain
ing these provisions, can vote for the
present bill, or entertain it for mo-
ment, passes my comprehension.
The excuse some make is, that it is on
ly for five years, and does not compro-
mise the rights of the State. Do they
not know that during the five years all
the extraordinary expenses of erecting
our public buildings are to take
place, and have got to be payed from
taxes as fast as incurred, as the Consti-
tuition expressly prohibits the State 60
ing in debt.
would ask him, who says we are
unable to assess and collect just aud
equal tax of this company-"LOhen shall
we be stronger" Nor are all the succeed
ing questions which that great Virgin
ian put to arouse his drowsy country
men, less applicable to ourselves at this
time. AS then was their time to test, so
5lOw is our time to test whether the State
of West Virginia, or the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad company, possess the
stronger arm. Very respectfully,
February 18th. G. P.

Hogs generally are quadriped.

There IS II grate deal ov internal

Even their tails can be worked up

Hogs are good quiet boarders They
alwuz eat what is set before them, and
don't ask any foolish questions.
Ihey never hav emmy disease but the
meazles, and they hav that but once;
once seems to satisfy them.

England, "A few years ago, which
they called the striped hog breed;
this waz in high repute among the
landlords; almost every tavern Keeper
had one, which he used to show few
travellers and brag onIhIm.
sum are full in the face, like town
clock, and sum are az long, and as lean

They kan awl rute well; hog that

A clergyman who enjoys the sub
stantial benefits of fine farm, was slight
ly taken down few days ago, by the Irish
plowman who was sitting at his pillow, in
tobacco field, resting his horse. This rev.
erend gentleman, being an economist, said
with great seriousness:
"John, wouldn't it be good plan for
you TO have stub scythe and be cutting
few bushes along the fence while the
horse is resting a short time"
John with quite as serious counte-
nance as the divine wore himself, said:
Wouldn't it be well, sir. for you to
have tub of potatoes in the pulpit, and
when they are singing, TO peel 'em awhile
to be ready for the pot,
The reverend gentleman laughed heart
