The great burden ofnearly all the
speeches made by the Administration
Republicans, consists in recounting
the merits Of the Republican party in
times past. 1t has opposed, they say,
the further invasion Of slavery into
territory once free, and when it sue
ceeded in this opposition in 1860, and
the slave holding South went into Sc
cession, manfully met the issue, and by
calling forth the immense resources OF
the loyal part of the Tnion, in men and
treasure, suppressed the Rebellion,
War having made emancipation a
necessity, the Republican party, by a
Constitutional Amendment, made such
emancipation irreyersiblc. 1t granted,
by similar amendment, the right OF
suffrage to the cnfranchised slaves for
their protection. 1t passed some salu-
tary measures to carry out those con
srimtional provisions; it provided for
the payment Of the floating war debt
and the interest ON our Standing debt,
The financial policy of the present Ad


ministration also gave no satisfaction.
The insane boarding of gold and cur
rency in the Treasury of the United
States, under the plea of keeping up
our credit, was severely condemned by

grooves, three or four feet apart as

an easy matter to find turtles nest by
this track. She comes out of the sea
and travels far up on the beach to lay..her
eggs in the sand, digging hole foot
and half or two feet deep for the nest
Prof. Hartt, who was in Brazil with Prot.
Aggassiz, says that he saw turtle de-
post one hundred and forty-three eggs
in one of these nests. The eggs are all
laid at one sitting, then covered up clos
ly with the sand, and left to hatch. The
eggs are rather larger than hens eggs,
round, and covered with tough white
skin. The Brazilians eat the eggs, and
also the flesh of the turtle. The crea-
ture is captured in curious way. Two
persons'go behind it, and taking hold of
the shell, turn theSanimal on its back, in
which position it is at the mercy of its
captors, as it is impossible for it to turn
over on its feet again. The hunters are
obliged to creep up behind it cautiously,
for as soon as it is alarmed it thrusts its
fore-paddles into the sand and throws it
behind, so that if the pursuers do not
quickly close their eyes they are likely
TO be blinded.

at all times for his wife was not one of
those robust ladies Of Tic Old Dominion

their husbands and she was generally abb
sorbed in nourishing a life more feeble than
her own. 1t was for such reasons, as we
may presume, that lie now withdrew from
aprofession that compelled him to be long
absent from Albemarle. He felt himself
strong enough to trust his future to glorious
agriculture and the manly, homely arts
that facilitate agriculture. He might build
mill for his own and his neighbors' grain ;
he might keep few boys at work, making
nails for his county; he might convert
some Of his wood into timber and little
of his clay into bricks !; but, henceforth to
the end Of his days he derived the greatest
part of his revenue from the culture of the
soil. He was farmer, as bis fathers had
been before him.
