At subsequent ses of the Lisla Tures of those states about one year ago appropriations to a very limited extent were made but daring the last summer and fall the water of the River was too High for operations upon tie work and nothing of any const Quetico has yet been done. At the recent sessions of those legis file he had a his place to.

The Call of the senator from be Hampshire he would however cheer fully answer and the new words which he might deem it necessary to say would be chiefly confined to the necessity at the present Lime of passing the a necessity stronger than Ever heretofore. This or. H. Continued to re accomplished by this government is wanted and skilful engineers Are it a iced. These obstructions ought o be removed by a canal around them that would Tass steamboats and the work in whatever manner and by whomsoever undertaken is too important to be any longer neglected. Heretofore this has not been considered by the Federal government an object of much magnitude. This River unconnected with any other Chin Nel of Commerce has been thought to Mark was the same which had pass belong to a class of local objects noted the Senate at the last session and egg in entitled to the consid a which had passed the Senate at the a a a a i a a eans of this government three previous sessions.

The River Tiew is the largest ail most important tributary of the Olio. It flows through a larger and m in Fridio Region of country than Are other River of tie Ohio. It floats to the markets of n.

T any River Ottlie the Best that can Exi t Between new Vork and new Orleans. Now sir said or.

No Highway of Commerce Hen could be said to connect the custom houses and the ports of ii try on the Lak its with those on the Mississippi.

The River for a great Dis Fri Nee to the Wabash and Erie tan Tance it the Boundary bet Ween the state of Indiana and Illinois and in improvement of Iti navigation has Long been an object of much interest with both these Sutemi. A 1822 Law were pay in Ltd by both abhor mixing a joint sex him nation of the obstructions by enquirers of each state. This examine Klion Wai had and a report made on Al and the navigation of the Wabash. These Woi scan no longer be considered As separate or of doubtful importance in a commercial Point of View. A great Ting Hwy of com Mere is established there and the Union of the Waters of the Mississippi und the Northern lakes is Etie cled. All objections of ulis sort to the Pas the communicate Iii which we copy in the following columns from the new York american Sheds a flood of Light on tie course of the administration in regard to the French question proving incontestably that the ground on which the president of the United states has been willing not Only to slake the Coo Mercial interests of the country but to pour out without stint the blood and treasure of the people is such As he himself gave up in his communications with the very gov a a rement of Frante six years ago. That ground is fairly stated in the communication to Thich we refer. It is the same taken by or. Fors in for his refusal to receive a copy of a letter of the French minister of foreign affairs to the French charge d affaires a a that explanations of a message to Congress Quot could not be Given i i Ghoul a disregard by the chief Magistrale of his constitutional obligations it being obviously improper to receive an argument in a form which admitted of no reply and necessarily unavailing to inquire Bow much or How Little would satisfy France Vixen her right to any such explanation had be ii before hand so distinctly and normally denied this is the ground insisted upon substantially in the president s annual message and made the foundation of the special message inviting commercial restrictions and military preparations to sustain it. It is the ground occupied by All the debaters ill Congress on the administration Side of the War question for disguise it As we May that has been the question of which the mediation first checked the Progress and which the Pacific disposition of the French government has finally terminated. Notwithstanding that upon such ground the president has been will ing to put at Hazard Liberty life and properly it is now demonstrated from the Public record that he himself recognised More than five years ago the right of a foreign government to take accept Ion to the terms in which to use the language of or. Secretary Van Buren he Quot expresses the sentiments of the government and people of the United states Quot or Quot Calls the National attention Quot a not the attention of a co ordinate Branch of the government merely As is now argued to the state of our relations with foreign Powers. In. The Veteran editor of Niles weekly Register congratulating his readers on the turn which the French question has taken says in his last number Quot we have however re Civ. D u useful lt50ll. With the Prospect of War staring us in the fice we found ourselves entirely unprepared for it. We Hope therefore that hereafter we May steadily and faithfully devote a considerable part of our k venues to place our country in a state of defence if Tver shall come. We have enough Lodo that and whatever else May be desired. So it is also with England Fruite. Let us Jather up and apply our strength to permanent works and rather to the. Encouragement of seamen than the building and launching of a Aye a much May be done in this matter. We Are miserably in want of seamen it takes years to make them and so act and do in All cases that we May be ready to meet emergencies As they Arrise and Render ourselves is truly efficient As we should be really great. A Small increase of the regular army Loo seems insist Jenable so Long As the indians Are our neighbors. We cannot reconcile ourselves to such events As have occurred in Florida having the a Lity to prevent our the French question settled at peace with All foreign nations successful in Commerce agriculture and manufactures a prosperous in institution i pursuing the March of improvement with a firm and steady step the american nation now sustains an enviable Posi lion in the eyes of the world. Quot the career of Freedona Quot is indeed before us without obstacles and with every genial excitement to urge us Onward. The american people have Only to be True to themselves to effect More for the cause of Republican Liberty than the world has Ever before seen a com a a. Gaz. Erom the Baltimore Patriot take the following Paris graph from a leading article in the Harrisburg chronicle of thursday. The chronicle is an original Jackson paper and has been Ibrous about Otie of the main pillars of the Jackson and Wolf party in the key Stone state. It is but too Well known that the dictation of the Globe and the Kitchen has for some time past been the supreme Law with those who ruled the destinies of Pennsylvania. We copy the subjoined paragraph from the Jack son and Wolf Organ at Harrisburg a to show we Nubia i tuition is Worth at the present Day. It among the a auses which have led to the passage of the great bunk in the Senate none operated Moie powerfully than the Wasli Inion Globe. The editor of hut paper could have adopted no surer Means to fix More firmly the opinions of those members who inclined to vote Lor the Ripon Pennsylvania grounds than the rude i insulting terms which he heaped upon them and the tone of arbitrary come Iutin in which he continued to dictate to the free representatives of on state. They have taught him a lesson which we Hope will be remembered a lesson which greater and More important men than he May read to their the resurrection a Beautiful and descriptive extract from the scotch preacher. Twice had the Sun gone Down upon the Earth and All As yet was quiet at the sep Lehre death held its sceptre Over the son of god still and silent the hours pass on the guards Stoody by their posts a the rays of the Midnight Moon gleamed on their helmets and their Spears the enemies of Christ exulted in their Success the hearts of his friends were sunk in despondency and sorrow the spirit of glory waited in Ai Ivious Susji ence to behold the event and wondered at the depth of the ways of god. At length the morning Star rising in the East announced the a Roach of Light the third Day began to Dawn upon the world when on u sudden the Earth trembled from its Centre and the Powers of heaven were shaken in Nigel of god descended the guard a shrunk from the terror of his presence fell prostrate on the ground he rolled a Wuy the Stone from the door of Iho sepulchre and sat upon it. Jut who is this that Chineth Forth from the Tomb Willi dyed garments from the bed of death Fie that is glorious in his appearance walking in the greatness of his strength it is thy Prince c Zion Christian it is thy lord he hath trodden the wine press alone he hath stained his garments with blood a but As the first born of the womb of nature be meets the morning of his Reser rellion. He arises a conqueror from the world of spirits he brings salvation to Tui sins of men. Never did the returning Sun usher in a Day so glorious it was the Jubilee of the universe. The morning i tars Sang together and All the sons of god shouted aloud for Joy the father of mercies looked Down from his i throne in the in rom Iise with Coni it la ten cd lit Lilii old his world restored he saw j that his work was Good. Then a a id the i desert rejoice the face of Nastuni w As gladdened before him when the of the eternal descended As the Dew of heaven for the refreshment of Quot tic nations. With vagrant Colls and other ill bred animals who take Possession of whatever fodder they can Lay their Mouths upon and pay no regard to the rights of and Lum. Or. Anderson says that he knew a Man who became very Rich by being great in Hale matters that is in attending carefully to things which other men consider of too Little Conser Ubbie to claim their notice and this Man always made it a Point to see that his cattle particularly his Milch cows should have a con slant Supply of the purest water. Gen. Farmer. The is nothing Peculiar in raising the potato from seed More than any other Plant. The t Malily of the offspring will like that of All animals and vegetables partake of the character of its parents. Of course the seed should be selected from the Best varieties As we shall be then sure of Breeding from one Good Slock. It May be separated from the pulp of the and dried or the balls May be broken and dried to be sown in the Spring. They should be kept from Frost and moisture. At the usual planting time prepare a bed of Good Mould and sow the seeds thinly on it in drills 18 inches apart. Nurse the plants As you would a bed of onions and in autumn take up and preserve the Small tubers of each Plant separate. Plant the second year at the distance of 19 inches or two feet each Way nurse As before and you will be Able to judge from Tatj product and their time of ripening of their character and Quality. Plant your selected kinds h third year and the crop will be fit for Market or Stock. The superiority which our correspondent discovers in old country potatoes it not wholly owing to new varieties hut to climate. In our country we think the potato deteriorates South of latitude 41, and perhaps the Best potato z line May be comprised Between 41 and 4g degrees North. The latitude of Britain is still farther North though its climate is More temperate than ours. In our latitude in Ordinary seasons the Best potatoes Are grown on grounds that Are deemed cold As reclaimed swamps a c. The Best potatoes Are grown in Ireland Lancashire Engin Nova Scotia Maine. A i c. Where the temperature is comparatively Cool and at the same Lime very humid. The duration of a variety in perfection is generally computed at from 14 to 20 ears though this period is soil Mitides prolonged by a change of soil or climate. The nutritious of the potato have been proved to vary from 14 to 28 per cent in Ditre rent species. Those abounding most in Nutriment Are Iii variably the Best not Only for the table but for Larry Stock but they Seldom if Ever exceed a medium size and Are less Nulu Civ than coarse kinds. Hence As buyers make Little or no distinction the grower finds it most profitable to raise the . Eva trying Cut be in perhaps it would excite the Surprise of Many of our readers should we assert that cattle generally Sufler More from thirst in Winter than during the heat of summer. Yet there is Strong reason to believe that this is to a great extent the Case cattle whose Winter food consists entirely of Hay Straw and other dry materials need a plentiful and frequent Supply of pure fresh wafer. Tifis Many do not obtain As nearly All running streams Are covered with ice and cattle Are obliged to wander a considerable distance from the Yard to the watering place through deep snows or Over a Slippery path exposed to the annoyance of dogs or to be gored by other tattle and rather than endure this they often sufi r much from a want of water. It Lias been ascertained that a Bullock who has water at command will drink it eight times a Day. It should always therefore be of easy Access to cattle at All times and not on a Distant part of the farm or in the open Road so that in order that cattle May help them selves to it you Are obliged to leave your Gate open or barnyard bars Down and thus your Yard is thronged judicial lawyer deceased a celebrated wag was pleading before a scotch judge with whom he was on the most intimate terms.
