A History of the 'Greet Struggle in 1
America betwaon -Liberty
_ and Despotism.
On the 4th day of September, 1866, thiS
President of .the Philadelphia Loyal Re
publican Convention pointed to the por
trait of,Alexauder Hamilton, and reniark7

from every State in e 'the Union, 64 Those,

now introduce to you-the son of a worthy
sire—James C. Hamilton, of New . york.
Thomas Jefferson's exposition of the prin
ciples of Gen. Hamilton have been,repub
fished to this history. lle was "itt favor
of a hereditSry King and house of Lords

of the United States. He was horn and
bred in the West Indies, till he 'rent to
Scotland for education, where he spent
his time in a seminary of learning till sev

from whence he issued into the ar

WASHINGTON, January 29.
To the Senate of (he United States :
I return for recansidersttiom a bill enti
tled " An act for the admission of the
State.of Nebraska into the Union.," which
originated- in the Senate, and hag received
in the enabling, act,Awith all of which, it
is asserted in the preamble; `the- inhabi
tants have complied. Congress. May, un
der the Constitution, admit :ievvStates or
reject them; but the people of a State ban
alone make or chartge organiii law,
and prescribe the qualifications requisite
for electors.
Congress, however, in passing the bill
in the shape in which it has been submit
Does- arming Pay,

They take a very narrow view of •thici:•
question (if question it can be called)
base their calculation. - of the profitable'-'
nese or unprofitabfeness of fartriing in gen
eral by the profit or loss - of a single crop
of farm produce, on a certain piece•Ofland
in a certain year. • It is not' to be ezpee
ted that branch of business will be equals
ly remunerative at all times and under all
circumstances. Trade of all kinds isflim
tuating. Manufacturing has • its ups and
downs. Commere is attended with man
ny casualties. So it is' with farming:,
Seasons differ; markets are uncertain; soils
vary; there is difference in the mode of 1
culcure, in the quality and quantity of seed
used, in the kind 'of manure, its manner
of application, and adaptation to the par
ticular soils and drops, and various other
circumstances to be considered, in form
ing a correct judgment on a question of
this character. This I might illustrate
by numberless instances in my owe farm
ing experience,' some of which have prov
ed profitable, and others quite the re
verse; either of Which, - taken by itself
alone, would gird kverypoor'idea of the
profit or loss of farming in general.
The question is not whether a4ertain
crop pays in a cert On year; it is wheth-,
et poor farming pays 'on poor land; z it is
not whether poor, farming pays on 'good
land; it IS not whether farming pays as
Much cash profit as some Other mccupa

would, if it received that fosfaringlgiii

other interests, and sometimes,' perhaps,
to
