FARM WORK FOR JUNE.
The fine and the cultivator would be ap
propriate emblenia of the work of the farm.
for this month. , Vegerationliow pushes
forward with rapid growth: Not only are
staple crops -taking firmer hold of the soil,
.and erpanding with cheering' promise, but
ragweed, daisy, dock, thiSties, and a nu-'
merous horde of foul weeds also feel the
quickening sunshine, and send out their
-hardy roots to, fob-the field and vex the
husbandman; These are to be iubdiied ;
and scarcely less important, the soil needs
frequent stirring to keep itin right
chanical condition. The roots of plants
-require air and water. If the surface be
comes crusted,, evaporation is obstructed,
the moisture from the deeper layer of the
sail does not - rise freely, and the air and
dews cannot readily enter . from above.—
The organic.matter decomposes tint slowly
under such circumstances, the plants are
stinted for nourishment, and their growth
is checked. Hoeing by hand or by 'horse
power,..is the remedy for weeds and for a
hide-bound soil. There may also yet be
vacant spots to replant with corn;, or: to
fill with other seasonable crops. - He who
has a mind to Work, willnow find enough
to employ him.
Barns and Sheds—See that they- are in
order before the busy haying season comes
on.. Arrange the hay-way platforms to
keep the hay from the ground and allow
ventilation. If hay has spoiled, remove it
to the nianu . i - e . heat: Examine grain bins,
wool closets, and cattle stalls, for vermin,
-and-cleanse if necessary.
Beans-L-Plant where corn has failed, if
seed of King Philip or either early varie
ty of corn cannot be obtained. '
- Boy will be ambitious to do men's work.
Do not allow them to exceed their strength.
Give them good tools, alloW them frequent
rests, and remember "Alt work and no
play, makes Jack a dull boy." Make
farm, life attractive if you would have them
remain in the business. .
Buckwheat yields a quick return, and is
an available crop for -lands too wet for
Spring plowing. It may also replace corn
destroyed by
,worms or other. casualties.
It may .be sown-the last of this month,
but the first or second. week of July is
preferable in this latitude; as it then has
the cooler weather of Septemher for filling.
Make the_soil•fine and' Mellow, and .use
half a bushel to three pecks of seed per
acre. :
Butter—this is one of the very best dai
rying months, both tbr quantity and qual
ity. The rllv growth ofgrass is plentiful
and tender, and the cons' if well cared
for, have.come . up to full condition. Ob
serve scrupulous cleanliness in every de
partment. Kelp the milk and cream at a
temperature of from 65° Fahren
heit. Let all butter be well worked. See
that the cows are milked rapidly, and per
fectly dry. Let bullett for market be put
up neatly, and !plainly marked with, the
owner's name.

room for curing-the onions whey pulled.

SEWARD AND LINCOLN.
Whichever of the leaders of the Ileput i
licin -Party, ; the past or • pre s ent, • the re-1
jected or the'adopted, the setting . or the
rising sun, . Seward . or Licoln is to . have
the credit of originating the "irrepressible
conflict' in our party politics;; there is a
wonderful similarity in their views • upon
the:subject. , They hoth treat the ques
tion, in reference to the general govern
ment and- the rights of the States, upon
the absurd and exploded old Federal no
tion whicliregaided the Union as a con
solidated 'government, instead of 'a Con
federacy of independent sovereignties,
combined for • certain express purposeS,
but retaining all rights and powers not
expressly delegated to the common agency
of the generatgovernment, One has been
-a close student and accurate copyist of the
other • of the fallacy that the people of
NeW , York 'cannot live, under their con
stitutioti and laWs and institutions formed
by themselves, without interference from
any quarter, in peace and security in . the
Union, -because South Carolina, an e ual
in the same Union under her own laws d
institutions; jormed in the possessio c
the same nglits and powers, recogn .
slavery, as we-did, until.in Our own time
and way, we saw fit to change our laws in
that respect. The wonder is, that two
men, 'claiming position, could be found
advancing so aar-fetched an absurdity;
but the Repablican.leadei and ex-leader
certainly concur in it. Here is their re
cord:—

pressible conflict between opposing and.en

States must :and will, sooner or later, be
come either entirely a slaveholdiug nation,
or entirely a free labor nation.. Either

the latter connection, Astute - lc-the Presi

LtacoLN, its nomineee for President, and
TOM PORWI;.I, of - Ohio, the special advO
cate of the action and choice of that body.
The three were. in - Congress when the
war with Mexico was going on. There
had been battles fought and victories won ;
there had been shouts of triumph and
groans of death; the arms of the enemy
had swept our soldiery away from the face
of the earth like: chaff.before the wind;
and, at. such a moment,. When every dic-
',ate' of, patriotism should have prompted •
evidences of sympathy in the Congress of
the United States, the, trio above named.,
'turned their backs on the nation of their!
birth and.became the allies of their count
try's . foe... Ashniun denounced 'the war
with the basest bitterness; Lincoln sym
pathized with 'Mexico 'and - declared the
conflict unconstitutional and unjust; and'
Corwin, to capthe climax-Of infaniy and ,
treason, invited the Mexicans to " welcome
our brethren with bloody hands to hos- ,
pitable graVes!" ' . ,
It is natural that the three, thus allied
and ready to sacrifice their nations's name,
who had spoken and voted in demincia
thin of a war :in which the country was
engaged; who .had thus directly given aid ,
and comfort to the enemy, whose speeches
were published and read in Mexico to
'prove. that there was a Mexican party in
the United . States, and. who, afterwards, I
opposed with their votes and their 'Voices, I

who had bravely battled - in. the country's'
cause—ive say it is natural that they should
continue a . partnership commenced 'in.

the people, and of the compromises and fra
