order his penetration strong though not so acute as that of a Newton Bacon or Locke and so far as lie saw no ment was ever sounder It was slow in operation being little aided by in- vention or imagination but sure in conclusion Henco tho common re- mark bis officers of the advantages he derived from councils of war where hearing all suggestions ho selected whatever was best But if deranged during the course of the any member of his plan was dislocated ho in The con- sequence was that he often failed in the field but rarely against an enemy in station as at and York lie was incapable of sonal danger with the calmest cern Perhaps the atrongoft feature in his character was acting until every circumstance every consideration was maturely weighed if he saw a doubt but when once decided going through with his purpose whatever obstacles op- posed His integrity was most pure his justice the most I ever motives of interest or consanguinity of friendship ov hatred being able lo bias his decision He was indeed in every sense of the word a wise a good and a great man His temper was naturally irritable und toned but reflection and resolution had a firm and habitual cy over it If ever however it broke its bounds he was most tremendous in his wrath In Ins expenses he was honorable but exact liberal in bution to whatever promised utility but frowning and unyielding on all projects and all unworthy calls on bis charity Hia heart was not warm in its but he exactly calculated every man's value and gave a solid esteem proportioned to it His person was fine his stature exactly what ono would wish his deportment erect and best horseman of his age and the most graceful that be seen on horseback though in the circle of his friends where he could be unreserved with safety lie took a free share in conversation his talents were not possessing neither copiousness of ideas nor fluency of In lic when called upon for a sudden opinion he was unready short nnd embarrassed Yet he wrote readily rather diffusely in an easy and style This ho Lad acquired by con- versation with the world for his cation was merely reading wilting and common arithmetic to which he added surveying at a later dny His time was employed in acting ing little and that only in agriculture and English His ence became necessarily extensive and with journalizing his agricultural i occupied most of his hours within doors On the whole his character was in its mass nothing bad in few points and it may truly bo said that did nature and fortune combine more perfectly to make a man great nnd to blace him in the same constellation with whatever worthies have merited from man an everlasting For his was tho singular destiny of lending the armies of his country through an arduous war for the establishment of its independence of conducting its councils through the birth of a government new in its forms and principles until it had settled down I into a nnd orderly train and of scrupulously obeying the laws i thu whole of his caicer civil and tary of which the history of the furnishes no other example The True Doctrine When Thomas Jefferson asserted and maintained the doctrine that the fruct of the earth belongs to tho he gave a to the tion that legislative bodies have ity to make irrepealable Tho converse of Jefferson's proposition would be of the right of revolution so clearly asserted in tho declaration of independence To deny the right of every people to j make such laws as to them shall seem best calculated to promote fare and happiness is to deny he ness of tho principle upon which the American colonies revolted from the British rule Pitt who was as tho great defender of American rights contended that the British had no right to tax the colonies for the reason that under the British constitution taxation was a voluntary offering of the people through their Representatives to the crown and that as the American colonies were not represented in Parliament the ment could not tax them Jefferson took the broad ground that thp colonies j were subjects of the British crown alone i and that parliament had no power to legislate for them that all legislation was a voluntary act of the and that the people of tho colonies had the exclusive right to make their own laws The British parliament resolved that the parliament had a right to late for the colonies in all cases ever This was the broad issue upon which our revolution was determined and It is also the precise U- sue between the friends and the mies of tho One parly that Congress has the right to legislate for the territories in all eases whatever Tho other party the people of the territories nies in have the exclusive right to mate their own laws This is the principle of tho act Its supporters while they do not deny the right of Congress to facilitate the sale and settlement of the public lands by providing for the organization of n government for the protection of the them yet maintain that A quantity of French brandy was imported into New York and for sale at auction on a given day it was landed nt tho wharf A brandy fabricator purchased tho lot of the importer on condition that tha sale should take place as advertised on account During the night it was all removed to his brewery underwent tho process of adulteration was carried back and sold noil day pure at im- ported prepare and sweeten gin etc oil of oil of almonds oil of turpentine oil of juniper berries lime legislative powers of that government belong of right to and to them alone The re- moves every obstacle to tho perfect ex- water alum salt of tartar and sulphate of the tight of self-government of lead is used Sulphate of lead is by declaring the complete abrogation of I poisonous I have reason to believe for or against the existence the use of it is frequent tho of slavery in those territories It is n I action is more rapid and it imparts to well-settled principle of law that the liquor a fine complexion very cannot exist except by force of some vestige of lead may often be de- statue law or what in law is called in mull liquor As with brandy custom and it it is clear that slavery nnd gin so with can have no legal existence in those whiskey will sell for more territories until established there by money under the name of rum than statute law under the name of whiskey it is as If then tho laws of those territories easy to turn whiskey into brandy gin are to be framed by their own or wine We n xt come to tants they not being slave holders it the fabricators make is difficult to conceive upon what their greatest profit exercise their sible grounds the abolitionists and greatest and probably do the soilers contend that the abandons greatest amount of injury those territories to slavery A more effectual of slavery cannot be found in tho Missouri act of 1 820 over the demise of so many crocodile cars have been shed than will be practically accomplished under the Tho of the fanatics to this measure argues the extreme of ignorance ov malice on tlieir part Thu more among them admit that there is no danger whatever that slavery can obtain a fooling in those territories It is often by northern tics why then did the South so earnestly desire the passage of tho Tha answer because Vie desires they wish to be delivered from anti-slavery agitation They desire and have long desired to remove every pretext for abolitionism to mingle in politics The Baltimore resolutions of the Democratic tion expressed the same desire in the most emphatic terms This great and object is nt length The repeal of tl e Kansas is out of the and henceforth abolitionists must confine themselves to getting up Tom's riotous opposition the tive Slave Law mid threatening sonal violence to the eminent patriots who have given this great measure lo the country The Maine law in Connecticut They have n Maine Law cut now several years in operation The Hartford Times speaking of it says But the law docs not and cannot stop excessive indulgence in the use of aident spirits Every successive we shall the more clearly see this it is apparent is the asserts that law was not made to suppress d linking The intoxicating is found in most every dwelling in club rooms and it mny be bought in any part of our city The proposed remedy docs not reach the great evil The attempt to prevent the sale of liquor to those who never abuse Us use nnd who use it only as necessity requires unless they pay the price nnd submit to the nary requirement of the and take such it is pleased to sell on the ground that some men do abuse its use has not accomplished n good object To visit the bad men upon all good citizens is not a just rule of law nor is it in accordance with our of lights or the constitution which made to the minority from just acts Asyut we have not seen an aggregate of good flowing from the liquor law over the aggregate of ils evils believe that the cause of temperance to day is retrograding and that the which after long years of labor drove the intoxicating cup from almost every dwelling nnd made its use a disgrace must be put forth again In these views we are sincere and the public will be fied in the course of a year or two more whether we are right or wrong if a good portion of them are not already convinced In the meantime it may be gentlemanly and very good policy for those who drink rum to call those who do not mid very bad men on the ground that the former support the Maine law and the latter do not especially as it was not ded to stop Adulteration liquors Hunt's Merchants Magazine has an interesting ni tide upon the of liquors and the gross and dangerous frauds practised upon the community by the saie of impure and destructive liquors submit from the article the following items somewhat ing and important to drinkers This liquor is almost uni- n base imposition im- ported article ns a general fact is adulterated Unadulterated brandy cannot bo sold less than 82 60 per gallon the adulterated can be made at about 30 cents per gallon and so dis- guised that no one can tell the ence The dealers cannot resist the temptation to adulterate whete the gain is so enormous Chemical compounds arc now made and sold to making out of common whiskey the whiskey itself often di with nic wine according to its name and quality must a certain price to make it worth dealing in The ingenuity is pat to the est test to produce an article ling the pure so as to obtain as nc ir as possible the price oE pure and as it is impossible to distinguish the pure from the impure nnd aa the im- pure can be made at ono tenth to one quarter the price of the pure the impure as a natural consequence takes the of the pure as the bogus dollar takes the place of the pure silver dollar provided it was settled by common consent that a dollar was a dollar whether not Says Dr I had a friend who had once a friend who had been a wine dealer nnd having read startling statements made public in relation to the brewing of wines and the ations of other liquors generally I in- quired of that friend as to the veracity of these statements His reply was God forgive what has passed in old cellar but the statements made are true and all due I you The process of adulteration is carried on in wine countries as well as in this country with regard to Madeira ret Sherry and all other of wine The Kev Dr Baird lins stated that little or uo wine is diank in France in state it may be at the wine press The dealers purchase it nt the vineyards in a ttate but in their hands it is entirely changed by adding drugs or distilled spirit Says the nent sculptor that although wine be had in Florence at one cent a bottle the dealers do not hesitate to add dings and witter to gain a fraction more of profit man who once worked in the office this tract was printed is now engaged in champagne for the ladies nnd inen of the country and at a cost to hint of two per dozen Some cider or whisky some water and some fixed air of lead Ac form the compound When this fabricated ture circulates in the country it ii generally sold as pure and our young men often quad it at two dollars a tle at an advance on tho original cost of only per A physician in New York put chased a bottle of champagne of the had it subjected to a chemical test it was found to contain n quarter of an ounce of sugar of would like to a mixture of sugar of lead and A gentlemen in New York who made champagne purchased some of the regular importer wishing to give his some of the genuine ar- ticle at a convivial party he produced imported when the corks began to fiy one dropped him on examining it he found ii was his own fabrication The supposed importer had purchased and by his French tinsel and French labels sold it back as pure to the original biter evidence of none Few uf the farmers as yet have found it necessary lo build large frame barns to date their stock though is certainty desirable when practicable A cheap log structure caulked with mud nnd thatched with straw keeps cattle equally comfortable and lie liny which in summer was stacked on the ground Whore it was cut is easily on sleds

except prairie wolves which Kill disappear as ments advance A man who is casting reed into the ground cannot be indifferent about the probability of H harvest We take casion therefore to say one of the attractions which Minnesota holds out to farmers is this A FAIR harvest every year is certain We be- fore shown that ho nature of the soil prepares it to resist the effects of drouth and of long continued wet weather and that lute frosts in spring nnd carly frosts in fall are almost unknown We now add that we of no other natural cause to interfere with the grow tli and maturity of ordinal y crops And we ought mention hero some pf the farmer's annoyances The birds settle down in ou the fields of wheat and devour large quantities They can be off by discharging a gun but soon return The do much less damage but quite enough to make it an object to get rid of them The gopher is mi underground rased us a and just as spry He is of the same species with the rat about as large wears tremendous whiskers and lives a gentleman by stealing Potatoes are his special delight but other roots art not refused liy various methods of shouting poisoning and frightening those gues are mitigated and it is not im- probable that some of our intelligent farmers will yet hit on some plan of getting rid of them entirely I As to a market for the ducts of the farm we may earth But for cure

of the winters is the only ob- This is partly compensated for by the case with which hay can be procured and partly by the high prices which will be paid for beef oxen and all live stock as well as the products of the dairy The severity of the winters makes it necessary for the farmer to provide comfortable quarters for his stock but this need not be considered a disadvantage when it is taken into count that cattle well cared for through the winter are much more valuable than those poor staggering skeletons which are left by the formers further south to up a miserable living on the
