When shall love freely flow

The Cumthig'Thrush.
There is much more intellect in birds than
people suppose. — An - instance - of - that occurred
the other day at a slate quarry, belonging to a
Triend from whom we have the narrative. A
rus , t aware of the expansive properties
o powder, thought proper to build her nest
en a ridge of the quarry, in- the very centre of
which they were constantly blasting the rock..
At first she was very much discomposed by the
fragments flying in all directions, but still she
would not quit her chosen locality.—She soon
observed that a bell rung whenever a-train
was about to be fired, and that, at the notice,
K rt„i
the workmen retired to safe ositions. In a
few days when she heard the be ~ ' quitted
her exposed situation, and flew down , o where
the workmen sheltered themselves—dropping
close to their feet.—There she would remain
until, the explosion had taken place, and. then
return to kr nest. The workmen observed
this—narrated it to their employers, and it
Was told to visitors who came to view the
quarry. The visitors naturally expressed a
wiAlt to witness so curious a specimen of intel
lect ; but, as a rock could not always be blast
ed when visitors came, the. bell ,was rung.in
stead, and for a few times answered the same
purpose. The thrush flew down close to where
they 5Wa, but she perceived that she was tri
fled,'with, and it interfered with the process
of incubation g ; the consequence was that after
wards, when the bell was rung; she would
peep over the ledge to ascertain if the workmen
did retreat, and if they did not, she would re
-1 main where she was.—Jardine.
A Western chap, who went to New York
to purchase goods, &c., Was invited to one o
those fashionable parties so common in large
cities.
lie was clearly a western original—but said
verylittle, until he found that ‘ the party was
about to close without an attempt to corner
him. - At length a bevy of laughing girls, by
the merest accident in the world, found them
selves about said western green one, in a most
animated discourse on music, and city playing.
When all this had progressed just fir enough,
one of the damsels, with head more adorned
without than wi thin, and in that peculiar drawl;
which fortunately no type can present, accost
ed the observed of all with : • •
'•Do the ladies play music at the West, sir?"

"0 dear, I am sure I never heard of that be

it."
"Well, the instrument is a small pig ; and
each girl takes one of these under her aria, and
chews the end ri its lung tail, and that brings
the music."
The preconcerted "come" made no farther
progress ; and,, for the balance of the evening,
western "green" was the only lion of the show.

AGE OF FISEIES.—Pike and carp, in artificial
ponds, have been repeatedly• tbund with gold
rings in their fins, and other kinds of labels,
on which - were also found dates, that proved
conclusively that one hundred years had elapsed
since the inscription was made. Gesner speaks
of a pike that was - known to be two hundred

some of the French writers, that, sever,al pike

— The — city journals - teem - with - erposures of
the manifold devices by _which knaves prey
upon and defraud the unwary but we think
the following, which came under our notice a
few days ago, a "leetle" ahead of all precedent :
The Old Clothes Dodge is confined exclusive
ly to West street, where, at almost any hour
in the day,- it may be seen in operation alter
this fashion':
'A dirty green looking fellow wanders up
and down the street, with a bundle of black
wearing apparel, tied" up in a cotton handker-
Chief, under his arm .
. His" appearance would
lead the superficial observer to suppose he turd
just landed from an emigrant ship, entirely
ignorant of the ways and manners of the peo
ple he had so recently dome among. Ho looks'
With an air of confiding ignorance into the face
of every passer-by, until his eye catches one
whom he deems suitable for his operations—
usually some countryman. Assuming an air
of earnest inquiry, he accosts the gull with
"Hey, boss, can you tell a stranger whore
the pawnbroker's shop is ?"
Of course Verdant don't know."
With a look of despair, Artful. exclaims.
"My God, what shall Ido my poor wife and
children are starving : havn't had any victuals
for two days. If I could only get to my brother
in Ohio, we should be all right, but I have no
money. [Here he exhibits his bundle. from.
which. eers the very black and very shining
suit.) "It cost me sir pounds in the old coun
try, just before I came away but we've had
a long passage, and I am forced to sell it to get
foodfor_m_ _famil .."
This is said in the most lachrymose tone,
and with a look of almost irresistible sinceri
ty. Then brightening up, he exclaitts heipe
fully, q,
"Perhaps, boss, you'd buy 'em ?"
`Verdant doesn't want 'em, but is touched
with the pitiful story and enquires the price,
Artful is too prudent to name one, but leaves
it to the - other's generosity. After some hesi
tation and further coaxing be ventures to ask,
“Would five dollars buy 'cm 3"
Artful (ignorant of the currency) 'llow many
suvrens is that ?"
An explanation is given.and Artful intimates
that the "pawnbroker will give more for them
than that.
A chaffer takes place and . the highest offer
Of Verdant is eventually accepted : the money
and clothes change hands, the cotton handker
thief-being-thrown in--with_ thelatter.L____Ver
dant is too bashful to closely examine his pur
chase in the street, and Artful,, with many ex
pressions of gratitOde and invocations of bless
rngs on his dupe, leaves to "provide for his
starving family."
Soon he re-appears with another bundle : the
same scene is gone through, and thus he lives.
The clothes are very old and thread-hare, bin,
steamed, renovated and gummed to look like

Times. _
. Highly Interesting to Agriculturists.
A correspondent of the San Diego (Cal.)
Herald relates the following:
- Conversing the other day on the effects pro
duced by different kinds of pasture on the
quantity and color of butter, an estimable and
witty friend of ours'in San Diego, who has
lately turned his attention to rural and agri
cultural pursuits, mentioned a singular fact in
'exemplification, which occurred in a churning
of butter from a cow belonging to his mother.
In this case the butter was found to be red,
with green stripes—and was traced to the cir
cumstance of the cow haVing chewed 'up, the
day before, a piece of carpet containing those
colors. The most remarkable feature of this
incident was, that the carpet was green, with
red stripes, while the butter was red, with
green stripes.—Now, although I can readily
believe this unusual color for butter to be
caused in the manner above stated, yet I find
it very 'difficult to account for the arrangement
of the colors, in a different order from what
we find in the carpet. The only way I can ex
plain it is, by supposing that the cow in chew
ing her end, must have so ground the colors
together on her palate as accidently to have
changed them, or else the agitation of the.cream
in churning may have Mixed them up so as to
materially disarrange the whole matter and
throw it into pi. lam aware that this theory
is not perfectly satisfactory, and I shall be
giatified if any of our scientific readers will
examine this subject and throw some light
upon it.
talrhe following is considered by old and
experienced farmers as a pretty sure remedy
for the "potato" rot : Select a suitable piece of
ground ; plough to the full depth of the good
soil, and, as the old farmers say, so as to "turn
up a leetle yeller dirt;" then subsoil ; manure
as highly as possible—it doesn't matter much
with what, so that it is rich and enough of it
—and, when you have done all, the rest—
plant with Indian corn.
irAt a small town up the river, a young
lawyer who thought himself "some," made
certain proposals at a town meeting, which
were objected to by a farmer.—Highly enraged
he sairLta_prie farmer, "Siroloyou know that
I have been at two universities, and at two
colleges in each university?" "Well, sir,"
said the farmer, "what of that? I had a calf
that sucked two cows, and the observation I
made was, that, the more he sucked, the greater
calf he grew."

Address of the State Central Committee.
CONCLUSION OF NO. 3
The Missouri line was never aifavorite mea
sure with the old Democratic statesmen. It
suited - a - temporary purpose, and , quieted -agi
tation for a time, but it was manifestly wrong
in principle, and legislation of; a dangerous
character, calculated 'to divide the country nto
geographical sections, and create diksenstons
and*divtsions among the States and the people.
Thomas .Tefferson once said :
•This Missouri question, by a geographical
line of division, is the most portentous one that
I have ever contemplated."
1820 he wrote to John Holmes
- "A geographical line coinciding with 'a mark
ed principle. moral, and political, once conceiv
ed and held up to the angry passions of men,
will never be obliterated.'
James Madison said :
must own that I- have always leaned to
the belief that the restriction was not within
the true sropo of the Constitution."
James Monroe said :
'The proposed restriction as to the territories
which are to be admitted into - the Union, if not
in direct violation of the Constitution, is re
pugnant to its principles."
We might siVell the list of authorities on
this'same point, from-eminent American states
men, living and dead.
It is difficult to force from the mind the be
lie,Lthat this whole subject of Slavery in the
territorimis greatly magnified,. Tito right of
a sovereign State to control this sobject is not
disputed even by abolitionists. The right to
establish or abolish the institution is admitted.,
The 'only effect that the legislation ofCongress.
can possibly have moat be confined to the ter
ritorial probation-of a State, during which time
it can exercise but a limited influence upon the
social or political affairs of the country. When
once admitted into the Union with slavery, a
State can abolish adtnitted without it;
she can establish it. Should-the people north
of 36 deg. 30 min. in Nebraska become nu
merous enough to be admitted us a free State,
they could afterwards establish the institution,
even if the Missouri line or the actof 1820 had
not been disturbed. Suppose, for example,
that -- any of the States covered by the ordinance
of 1787, were at this time to establish slavery,
where would he the remedy ? There wonid
-be---none.---11--the-people of a-territory shoal
desire to haie the institution, but perceiving
that Congress might object to their admission
into - the Union, they could forbear to establish
it until after • their admission, and then do as
they might deem best. Ilene° the wisdom of
allowing thatpower to control in the beginning,
that will most certainly, control, in the end, or
at a subsequent period.
It is not to be denied that there is a most
Violent and unwarrantable spirit evoked by
this slavery conflict, that should he discoun
tenanced by the good men of all parties. It is
one of the enigmas of human nature,. that it can
be - Come so unreasonable in sonic of its manifes
tations. Our .Anti.-Nebraska friends should
take care lest the mania of a Wild and ungov
ernable fanaticism should possess them as it
has already possessed ninny others. Tho in
flammatory and treasonable proceedings of an
abolition convention in the city of New York,
not long since, calls for the earnest Condemna
tion of every lover of our Nati_oaaLUnion.
Wendell Phillips said :
“The Union sentiment is the great vortex
which swallows up the great minds, and they
have power enongfor the time being to influ
ence the people. ' remedy for the
slave is the destruction of the government. I
challenge any man to tell . = what the Union
has done for us."
_ Wm. Lloyd Girriion proposed the following
resolution :
"Resolved. That the one grand vital issue to
be made with" the slave power.is the dissolution
of the existing American Union." - •
Henry C. Wright spoke to the resolution,
and said :
"I like that resolution very much. This
country .denies God, or if it believes in God, I
~
do not. The Christian God the most accursed
of demons., No man's rights can be ascertain
ed by reference to a Bible, a law, or a Consti
tution. I don't care that (snapping his fingers)
for any such book or Constitution. when . the
question of liberty or slavery is to-be consider
ed. The only thing of importance is that the
mass of the people . venerate the Constitution.
We should. endeavor- to do away with this. I
thank God that I am a traitor to that Constitu
'Lion. I thank God also that lam an infidel to
the popular religion of this country and„of all
Christendom."
The Hon. Edmund Quincy said that : "The
Constitution displayed_ the ingenuity of the
very devil, and that the Union ought to be
dissolved."
This was during the pendency of the Ne•
bra.ska and Kansas bill before Congress. At
the same time the leading Abolition_ journals
were loud in their denunciations of the bill it
self; and treasonable in their opposition to
the action of the government. Horace Greeley,
through the New York Tribune, said in refer
ence to the contemplated passage of the bill
"Better that confusion should ensue—better
that discord should reign in the National
Councils—better that Congress should break
up in wild disorder, nay, better that the capitol
itself should blaze by the torch of the incendi
ary, or fall and bury all its inmates beneath
its crumbling ruins, than that this perfidy and
wrong be finally accomplished."
There were many treasonable exhibitions
also, by the same class or men, during the re•
cent Anniversary of American Independence.
At some places the bells were tolled, as if
mourning for some great National calamity.
At Fartningham, Massachusetts, treasonable
speeches were delivered, after which Garrison,
above named, burned the Constitution of the
United States and -the Fugitive Slave Law,

.Such are incendiary and inflammatory
sentiments with which despicable fanatics are
endeavoring-to-indoctrinate the _minds of_ the
Northern people.. Such sentiments arc the fit
precursors of the recent. riot and - murder in

Let us therefore. fellow citizens, discard the•

that they are not only wilting to be so, but
also that they have the power to be so. The

Pollock's Demagogueism.
Tf ..Tames • Pollock's deningogueisni is not
sufficiently established by the fact , that he
"hied away" to Philadelphia,' as soon ae, be
was nominated for Governor, fer the pur pose
of 'attaching himself to 'the order Of Know-
Nothings. with no higher or loWer motive than
to attach their voles to hianselt—if _this and,
other facts with which the public is acqtudn
ted, does not sufficieniy establishthat he is a
thoroUgh demngoglie. wo: ask attentiortte,tia
course on the prohibitory liquor question._ -.
In the Legislature of 1853, Northumber land
county was represented by S. - A. 13ergstreker,
a whig,' who voted against every , thing that
had the least leaning towards a prohibitory -
law, or which was likely to bring the ,subject
before the people. Ile was as hostile to 'any
such project as the most ultra Lager Beer seller
in the State could possibly be. Ile was nand
rived for re•election. The : flernocratiecturii- ,
was not friendly to prohibition.' 'like tens.
perance men nominated one' of their alaSt re
spectable leading men as a eatulidatipi, Mr.
McMahan. He wait as thoroughly a ',Whig as
either Mr. 13ergstresser or Mr:' PollOck._ and
was the neighbor and personal friend of tho'
latter. In all , the - proper qualifications of
Legislator, he 'was far superior to Mr. Berg‘
stresser. Yet .no man in Nortlinnoberlandr
county was more active in his efforts to re-*.
elect Bergstresser and defeat 'Mr; McMahan
than Judge Pollock. But how soon the tables;
turn when the Judge wants votes for Govepor
--Then he has'no hesitation in pledging - him,'
self to sign any prohibitory bill, whether con.,
stitutional br not, or however expensive stul,,,
oppressive it may prove in detail, in order to;
gain a few votes ! Such is - James Pollock !"
Can honest Temperance men rely upon such
a demagogue, can they cast their votes for such
a man, who spurns their - cause except wheta
he wants their votes f

One of the great acts for which posterity will
revere the memory of Gen. JAMSON was his
veto of the old U. S. Bank. and histrmne.s.s in,

WEBSTER shall be forgotten—when all
bright names of that era of great men shall tio
more be remembered—when the name of JAMES
Pin.i.6ox shall no longer appear in book or upor(
paper—patriotic hearts will beat more warmly
as they extol and hear

the great name
of ANonsw JACKSON : and while his memory
survives; so long will he be applauded for kW
veto of the U. S.. Bank.
