WHAT CONSTITUTES A STATE?
DT elle WILLINIE 30X225.
What constitutes a State?
Not high-raised battlement or labor'd monad,
Thick wall or masted gate;
Not cities proud with spires and turrets crowned,
Not bays and broad-armed ports,
Where, laughing at the storm, rich navies ride;
Not starr'd and spangled courts,
Where low-bred baseness wafts perfume to pride.
No!—Men, high-minded men,
With powers as far above doll brutes endued
In forest, brake or feu,
As beasts excel cold rocks and brambles rude;
Men, who their duty know,
But know their rights, and knowing dare main-
lain;
Prevent the long aimed blow,
And crush the tyrant while they rend the etudn
These constitute a State.
And 'sovereign law, that Stste's collected will,
O'er thrones and-globes (hitt;
Sits empress, crowning goed, repressing 111
Built by her sacred frown
The fiend, Dissension, like a vanortinks,
And e'eu the all-tlazzlikg ei cwn
Hides hts faint rays, and at her bidding shrinks.
Such was this heaven-loved
Than Lobos fairer than the Cretan shore I
No more shall frecdoni smile?
Shall Freemen languish and be men no more?
Since all must life resign,
Those sweet rewards, which decorate the brave,
'Tie folly to decline,
And steal inglorious to the silent grave.

SOW BCC] WHEAT
For pulverizing clay soil, there is hard
ly anything equal to a crop of buckwheat.
Several trials convince us of this. Nor
is the crop hard on,l land, the opinion of
many people to the contrary notwith
standing. It takes little from the soil
but moisture, as is !proven by the very
small proportion of Imanure which buck
wheat straw makes
These considerati i tms should Induce the
sowing of buckwh at on poor clay, as
pulverizing such soil is positively neces
sary before much nbe done with it:—
If succeeded with
I rte and.grass, the land
will be in condition for rapid improve
ment with lime or tither means of fertili
zation. 1
Besides, as the w eat crop is below an
average, a good b adth of buckwheat
sown would go far wards relieving the
want of wheat flour, and getting us
through the next rear as easily as the
past. Newts the time to sow it.
...6... '
PLOWING
I How much land can ti man plow in a
day ? I have heard men tell of plowing
two acres and a half, but never saw it
done. In England where they plow nar
row furrows, say 9 inches wide and 6
inches deep, an acre is 'considered a fair
day's work, taking one day with another.
Here we plow, unwisely as I think, much
i wider, but do we not lose nearly as much
1 time In resting the horses as would make
up for the differende? Narrow furrows,
say 10 inches wide and 7 inches 'deep,
turned over at an angle of 45', is both
theoretically and practically the best
style of plowing ; and if we plow wider,
we should go deeper,,and unless we use
three horses, no ordinary team can keep
, steadily at such hard work without injury.
With a team that walks naturally at a
good pace, it is better to plow narrower
furrows and let them walk at a fair speed,
than to tax them toe heavily with a wide
'furrow, which necessitates their resting
I - every other bout. The time lost in this
way is far greater than is generally sup
; posed. But lam regarded already too
I much in the light of an innovator to at
tempt anything more than a very gradual
change. I find it better to let men do
pretty much as they have been emus
tomed to. Still I would really like to
know what is about the average rate of
plowing in different parts of the country,
and what hours are kept. By looking at
my record, I find that we plowed a thirty
acre field of cork stubble for barley, with
three teams, in 71 days, say 30 acres in 221
days, or just 11 acre per day for each team,
Hours 6.16 to 11.15, and from 1.30 to 6.30,
say 10 hours a day. With a furrow slice
10 inches wide, it takes about I+4 miles
of travel to plow an acre and a half. In
a field 200 yards long the experiments of
the Earl of Mar, as given by Sinclair,
show that over two hours are lost in turn
4ng. Even then, if nu_time is allowed to
breathe the horses, they would have to
walk steadily along at the rate of over
two miles an hour to plow an acre and a
half. I doubt very much whether far
mers really plow as much in a day as they
think they do. They do not keep an
exact account of the time, or measure
the land accurately.—Ainer. Agr.
THE PHILOSOPHY OF LONG LIFE.
Ilut few men die of age. Almost all die
of disappointment, passional, mental, or
of bodily toil ,or of accident. The passions
kill men soutetimes i even suddenly. The
common expression, "choked with pas
sion," has little exaggeration in it; for
even though not suddenly fatal, strong
passions shorten life. Strong-bodied men
often die young—weak men live longer
than the strong, for the strong use their
strength, and the weak have none to use.
The latter take care of theinkelves ; the
former do not. As it is with the body,
so it is with the mind and temper. The
strong are apt to break, or, like a candle,
to "run;" the weak burn out. The infe
rior in animals, which live, in general,
regular and temperate lives, have gene
rally their prescribed term of years. The
horse lives twenty-five years ; the ox
fifteen or twenty ; the dog ten or twelve;
the rabbit eight. The duration of life in
all these bears a similar proportion to the
time the animal takes to grow to its full

GOY. SWANN'S SPEECH.
We make the 'following extracts from
the speech delivered by Hon. Thomas
Swann, the present (Conservative Re
publican) Governor of Maryland, at an
immense meeting in Monument Square,
Baltimore, on the 2lbt ult. His crushing
denunciationsof Negro Suffrage Radical
ism lit as well here in Pennsylvania as
in Maryland, and must have great weight
with genuine friends of the Union every
where. That Maryland will range her
self on the side of President Johnson
there is no longer room for serious -doubt.
Gov. Swami said :
Fellow-CitizenB—l nave been Invited to
preside over this meeting, and I am here
to-night in accordance with that invita
tion. I congratulate you upon, this great
outpouring of the Conservative masses of
the city of Baltimore. The appearance
of this meeting—one of the largest ever
assembled in this square—is the more
gratifying to me because it has been call
ed specially to endorse the reconstruction
policy of President Johnson, and the
humble part which I have taken in giv
ingitmy unqualified approval. You were
told that iu taking this step I would he
left without a "corporal's guard" in this
State. Now I would like to know what
Radical Major General would muster a
larger force than the "corporal" has
drawn around him in this vast assem
blage of his fellow-citizens. If this is the
definition of a ",corporal's guard," I
should like to know,
,my friends, what
you understand by an "army." I pro
pose to speak to-night, not only for those
hero present, but to the people of the
whole State, and I shall speak in such
terms that those who agree, as well as
those who difTer with me in public senti
ment, may have no ground for misun
derstanding' or misrepresentation here
after. * * * * * *
For my support of Mr. Johnson's re
ebnatruetion policy—endorsed by the Leg
' *stature in January last—l am denounced
as a traitor to the party that elected me,
and my friends who do not wane up to
the full Radical standard are summarily
!read out of the party, as either Copper
heads or Disunionists. The gallant Col
, onel of the 7th Maryland Regiment, who
, vacated his seat in Congress to give his
, services to his country, is a disunionist ;
the brave Gen. Phelps, who, nt the head
of his advancing column, fell wounded
and bleeding upon the field of Spottsylva
nia, under the flag which he was defend
, ing with his life's blood, is a disunionist ;
the intrepid Bowerman, who has done
more for his country than this whole
Radical combination together, is a disu
nionist; that war-worn veteran, General
Horn, one of Maryland's bravest sons, is
a disunionist; the ex-Gove , nor of your
; State, who stood at the helm during the
. most excited and trying period of the re
bellion, and who never faltered in the
discharge of any duty imposed by his re
' sponsible position, to whom we are in
debted for our free Constitution, more
perhaps than any other man, is a disu
nionist; I, who stood by that old patriot,
Governor Hicks, on the 19th of April,
aiding him by my counsels unt 1 he was
`overwhelmed by the power of Secession
ists and traitors, while some of the most
prominent of these Radicals were resist
ing the passage of the Massachusetts
troops through the city of Baltimore, run
ning away from the city, or skulking in
secret hiding places, I am a disunionist.
[Applause.] The' army and the navy,
who support President Johnson almost
; to a matt, are disunionists in the eyes
of these brave and gallant Radicals.

and General
only truly loyal and reliable men to be
trusted in this State are the leaders of this
new Radical party. * * * *
We mean to see the end of this contest
raised by this aggressive party here in
, Maryland. And if it is necessary for the
Governor of your State to go into every
ward of this city, it shall be done. [Great
applause,] It is supported by Mr. Sew
ard the ablest statesman in Mr. John
son;s Cabinet, and his no less
ed colleagues in that body. It is sup
ported by .Grant and Sherman—[ap
plause]—through while bravery the re
bellion was brought to a close, It is sup
ported by the almost united voice of the
army and navy. And yet, with all this
evidence staring them in the face, I um
denounced and hunted like a traitor, by
these extreme Radicals, because I have
dared to support Mr. JohnsonV recon
struction policy, against the revolutiona
ry combinations which have been formed
to weaken the powers of- the Adminis
tration and postpone indefinitely the
work of reconstruction. [Applause.]
Upon the subject of our unhappy differ
ences I do not know that I can say any
thing which would hot suggest itself to
prudent and thinking men throughout
the State / I regret to witness the spec
tacle of a great party, such as that which
has conducted us through the rebellion,
tamely submitting in so many and car
dinal measures of public policy to the
dictation of intemperate and ill-judging
men. The national men of the party •
should rather oppose and hold in check
the ultraisms which are now threatening ,
our destruction. Deeply should I regret '
that anything 'should occur to separate
me from fellowship with the national
men of the Union party, with whom I I
have cordially co-operated for the past I
four years in saving this Union. I can
see nothing which should provoke any
one, either in Congress or out, to make
war upon President Johnson. His plat
form is the same that it has always been.
He was elected to the office of Vice Pres
ident of the United States on the same
ticket with Abraham Lincoln by a eon-
j
vention of the Union party. He had op-
posed the rebellion as no other man had
opposed IL He had suffered in his per
son and his property, and made sacrifices
in the maintenance of his prinoiples
which gained him the admiration of boy
isl of all parties and every shade of
opinion. His nnoonipromising detotion
to his, country gave hint the nosaination
or that convention, and resulted in his
48TH YEAFL-:-NQ. 40.
elevation to the high office which he now
In his reconstruction policy he did
no more than follow in the footsteps of
Mr. Lincoln. The lending ground of
complaint so far as I have been able to
understand it, was his inability, nveler
the obligations of his ()finial • oath, to
sanction certain ultra radical measures
whose effect would have 1 teen to have ig
nored the existence of the States—placed
the negro on a fueced basis with the white
man —["Never ! never!"]—acts inaugu
rated the universal right of suffrage,
which would have precipitated the - whole
Southern and Border Stan's—our own
among the number—into the hands of
the African race. [Applause.] Will
Maryland trod fault with him for this?
["'Never!"]
The persistent effort which is now be
ing made to misrepnetent me, is simply
disgraceful and uneiorthy of any party
having pretensions to truth and hon.sty.
[Applause.]
If there are blows to be given, I tell
these gentlemen, before this elnlVflss is
over, they will ffnd there are blows to be
received also. [Applause.l
I have stated that the Issue of negro
suffrage in the coining fall campaign l'as
well made and n most vital issue, as I be
lieve, in the State of Maryland at the
'present time.
- I have seen no reason to change my
opinion upon this point. I entertain the
belief that forcer! negro suffrage and ne
gro equality will destroy the state of
Maryland if it does not bring ruin upon
the negro race. I have always dreaded a
war of races ;
and I believe that if this
ultra radical faction is not promptly
checked by the pnpular voice, it cannot
fail to precipitate such n result. Consid
er for a moment the propositionS submit
ted to the House by Mr. Stevens, and by
Mr. Sumner to the Senate. When this
issue of negro suffrage was made here,
these radical men raised their hands in
horror. They told you that no one advo l
Rated negro suffrage or negro equality.
What, let me ask, have the extreme men
of this Congress been doing for the past
six months? Did they not, by an over
whelining majority in the pt - mufar branch,
attempt to fasten universal; unqualified,
negro suffrage upon tile District of Co
lumbia. in the rime of the unanimous pro
te,t of the people? Why is that bill now
permitted to sleep? Is it not because the
firmness and known sentiments of An
drew Johnson arrested it before its final
consummation? The attempt to enlarge
the Freedmen's Bureau bill was a step in
the same direction. It was one of the
series of measures in which certain ex
treme men in Congress had been engag
ed to degrade the industrial and working
classes of the Border States by forcing
them in direct competition, and upon
terms of equality, with the negro race.
Another of these measures in the inter
, est of negro suffrage and forced negro
equality was the Civil Rights bill, vetoed
by President Johnson, and passed by the
Constitutional majority in both Houses
of Congress. It is not my purpose at this
time to refer to the extraordinary provis
ions of that bill. lam not opposed to the
amplest protection to the negro. The'
people understand what that bill means
—and every_ (lay will make it more anti
more apparent. Speaking"of the subject
of citizenship. Judge Curtis, in one of ;
the ablest opinions ever delivered in the
Supreme Court, declares "that the Con
stitution has left the States to determine
what persensitern within theirrespeetive
limits at'qui re by birth citizenship of the
United States." He further declares that
Congress has no such power, it belonging
exclusively - to the States. This effort by 1
Congress to confer by law the right of ;
Federal citizenship upon the negro, is
fraught, in my opinion, if recognized,
with the most momentous consequences.
It may settle forever the question of ne
ro suffrage and negro equality, State
)
laws and State Constitutions to the eon-
trary, notwithstanding. Its effect may •
he of doing by indirection what it would
be hopeless to attempt just now by open,
avam tel and express legislation. If the
negro is declared by the proposed amend
ment to the Constitution to be a citizen
of the tinned States, with all the "privi
leges and immunities"of such citizens,
and Congress has the power to enforce
this provision by "appropriate legisla
tion," what is to prevent these extreme
men, the moment they get the power,
from -declaring these "privileges and im
munities" to extend to the privilege of
voting—the right to serve on juries and
the right to hold office? What will the
word 'white," embodied in our State
Constitution, avail to protect us against
negro suffrage, and the right of the ne
gro to do whatever the white man may
do? [Applause.]
But - the report of the Committee of Fif
teen is even more pointed and significant.
It presents to the State of Maryland a
choice between negro' suffrage on one
hand, and the loss of a valuable portion
of her representation on the other. These
ultra radical men, not satisfied with the
great moral revolution which has been
accomplished by the Proclamation of
Emancipation, persist in their effort to
force the negro into political and social
relations with the white man. It call
never be done, in my opinion, without
the most serious consequences. The-ef
feet of fhe enlarged Freedmen's Bureau
bill wottni have been to have subjugated
the whtile Border States in the interest
of an intolerant fanaticism. The 'State
of Maryland, just emerged from the abu
ses and outrages of an irresponsible mili
tary despotism, was to be again thrown
brek in its mareit of pacification and re
construction ; the writ of habeas corpus,
that great safeguard of the liberties of the
people in time of peace, was to he again
suspended without the remotest pretext
of necessity ;. your elections were to be
controlled and directed by military In
fluence, and the people,were to be brought
to realize the threat that sooner or later
we would be compelled to touch our hats
to the negro.
And what did this bill design to do for
the gallant men of our own race who
have fought your battles and saved your
country ? It makes no similar provision
for them. It lavishes millions upon the
negro, Our soldiers have asked for boun
ties which they have fairly earned. Are
they not as much entitled to aid as the
freedmen? Have they made fewer sacri
fices? Have they fought less bravely ?
The widow and the orphan—what did it
propose for them? Twenty, nay, forty,
millions of money were to be lavished
upon theegro. Do these extreme men
suppose that tho people of this country
will rest quiet Much longer under such
gross and flagrant injustice and insult?
And yet they appeal to the soldiers to
sustain them by their votes. * *
In regard to the Registry law, about
which so much has been said, I am where
I stood In my annual message to the Leg
islature in January last. As the Execu
tive of the State, I shall do my duty In
executing that ,as well as all other laws
upon your statute book; but I shall take
care, so far as my influence extends that
the Registration act is not made the in
strument of degradation to our people
[immense applause], in the the hands of
vindictive and radical agents [applause],
to force negro suffrage, and negro equality
upon us. [Applause.] And I shall see
that it is fairly, impartially and justly
administered, In the spirit in which it

There are so many luenrreetstatenienis
made about the tax that will be imposed
on the issues of hanks organized under
Wale laws, paid cue by banks on and alter
the Ist of July, IbB9 , that it 114 important
for eyNry business man to undenitand this
law. The Act of Cougress, of March
1865, reads thus :
Sm. 6. And be It further enacted, That
every National Banking Association,,
State Bank, or• State Banking Association
shall 'pay a tax of ten per cent. on the
amount of notes of any State Bank or
State Banking Association paid out by
them, after the first day of July, 1806.
It u ill be noticed that the tax is im
posed only on Banks paying out other
notes than those of National Bangs, or
United States legal tenders, and thati lit
no ease can the tax be imposed on indi
viduals, merehants brokers or agents,
(other than Banks,) paying them out, or
using them in their business.
The circulation of the notes of State
banks among individuals, is In no way
interfered with by this law. Holders of
these notes need not be under any appre
hension of any loss by the ten per cent.
tax imposed, as Banks alone are subject
to that penalty for paying them out after
the time specified in the law, for as some
of our entemporaries remark, there will
really be no tax at all on State bank eir
e4lation, bee:luso no one but banks are
taxed for paying them out, and they wilt
not under the penalty. Private bankws
will spring up throughout the cquntry,
and will buy up front brokers the bias of
the State banks, an' I use them as circula
tion for the people, while the State banks
will close up, to merle ex tent, after provi
ding for the redemption of their notes
,when returned to their redeeming agent.
We think that the etreet of this will be
that less deposits will be made with banks,
and more with private bankers and hanks ,
ing officers, who are left free to receive
and pay out State bank notes. Shrewd
bankers see this, and already some vlain
ges have been made; or rather,.banits
closed t both National and State) and pri
vate banking oftieesopened in theirphteefe
and doubtless litany more changes Will
occur of the same kind, as very good reit
sons exist for the ehanges, which are,
that by closing the banks they avoid hea
vy taxes which the States are attempting
to impose on both National and State; as
private bankers, they are not liable to a
tax4y,the'eurrency they pay out, butare
leWiee to receive and pay out State batik
notes; and note that the banking business
is less,
profitable than for the past few
years, these considerations have weight.
