Xarge or small Farms Wnicn. are the B nCr. nrnfimhlP. , . - . ir,j 1 The answer to this question depends , ... -f on tho conditions. We may divide tho -f ' ODon tno conauiouH agricultural population intotlirec classes: Those of limited or small capital; and a grade between, possessing a moderate but comfortablo income. These deffinitions aro not precise, but suggc-t the idea in tended to be conveyed sufficiently for our purpose. Other conditions embrace lo- i cality, market, meaus of manuring, do- 1 Fcription of Eoil, end other attending cir cumstances. We lay down the axiom, that, in order to succeed well, cvcrrllting Khould be well done. A farmer with laro capital, pos sessing a knowledge of his business would kc j I en2ai;c extensively m it; and, as could avail himself of all the beit labor saving machines, of a division of labor, of the best modes of husbandry, of abun dant manures and of all special manures, and, in short, of all the appliauces of sci ence, it follows that, with him a large farm would be the moat profitable. But we need not dwell on this self-evident branch of our question. There is a large class, possessed only of small capital, whofe natural avocation is that of agriculture. Many of this class commit manifest errors. Their capital is saiail, but their hetirts may be large; they nipire to rosporiMble positionn, and at tcpt too mch. In a country where land is abuudant, and readily procured on cred it, a 100 aero farm, iiutead of 25 or 50 acres, is an alluring bait. With means only to cultivate and manage 25 acres, the remaining 75 aro a dead' weight. The capital, or the interest paid instead, is annually extracted from the means re quired to improve and cultivate the X25 acres, and too often is the cause of utter failure, and most generally of years of toil and unrequited labor. Men of this class should comaience with a small farm and stick to it, until they have so far in creased their capital, in ooney and expe rience, that they cau afford to take one step higher with success. There are notable in-taoes o! profits realized from cultivating a great Ntaall farm well, which have been noticed in agricultural journals to which tho reader can refer. It will be asy to reach the average given of an English farm, where they pay high rents and taxes.

Having found a place where his services as a preacher were acccptablo, ! be returned homo and took his wife back with him to tho South, proposing tbero to live. This occurred in May of 1853, Before leaving Iowa for tho last time, a neighbor reouested Mr. MeKinnev to a J j collect from ono Sprowlc, in Texas, a 'sum of money which bo owed. After preaching reoei for some time, tho Elder ono ived a visit from the debtor, jSprowle, and in tho course of a friendly , conversation the former spoke of the com- i mission with whfch he bad been charged. ' Sprowlc denied the debt, and appeared ' angry. ins next Etep was to uenouncc , Mr. McKinney as an Abolitionist. Ai . . . number of witnesses were examined, who ' declared that be was not an Abolitionist but a demoorat, aa be had always been. Ihen oprowlo was called on to give his testimony, which ho willingly did, charg ing the Elder with being a changeling in religion. Ono Blunt dared to speak in favor of the minister, and he was at once deuounced as an accomplice. Mr. McKinney was then preacbiDC a few miles away, and his congregation pre pared a certifioato to the effect that the j charge of Abolitionism was quite false. .The oditor of tho paper in Dallas County was not allowed to publish this certificate, being threatened with tho destruction of his property should bo do so. A letter was sent to Mrs. McKinney, saying that her husband and Blunt wore to be banged within tweutv-four hours, "six feet in tho air." Under these circumstances, the threat ened men thought it expedient to leavo the country. They accordingly started, after a sleepless night, during which they sat with loaded guns expecting an attack. Having travelled twelro milos, they were met by nine men, who robbed them and took the party Mr. and Mrs. McKinney and Mr. Blunt back to tbo county town. Mrs. McKinney was left at a private residence; tbe men were put into the Jail. At three o'clock the next t morning the latter wero taken out and tied to a treo. Then seven of the rufiians flogged them with a heavy cowhide whip, each fellow giving ten strokes. Tbe pun ishment was very terrible, and tho condi tion of tho victims was most deplorable. After being thus beaten they were allow ed to go on their journey, though they were left pcnuiless. We frequently read of Austrian des potism, and deplore tho condition of tho poor creatures who are compelled to Bub mit to it. But tho real truth is, there is no part of tbe civilized world where acts of tho grossost tyranny over persona and . property, aro of more constant occur- , renec, or where liberty of bpecch is more remorselessly puuished, than in tho slavo holding states of tho' American Union. j The worst despotism that Europe con- j tains is that whioh cursos tho kingdom of j Naples; but bad and brutal as Neapolitan tyranny is, it is inGnitcly exceeded by . the beastly ferocity of mob law which the slave intcrott always finds it easy to in voke when it wishes to torture, murder, or burn at the stake somo unfortunate be ing whom it suspocts of preferring liber ty to slavery.

It was delivered at Lowell tho other da": "When the Democracy had carried tho oleotion (in 2852) for President with unequalled unanimity; when all partitB had agreed to drop Slavery agitation; when between North and South the bonds of Union were knitting firmer and firmer; when the Democratic party were in a ma jority in Congress from North and South; m. .. .. when tho opposition to the successful Ad ministration of Gen. Piorce was either si lenced or broken in fragments, and tbero was no hindcronco to the couotry ia her career of power and greatness, whaJ w&3 it, who was it. that changed all this?

Tho answeris the truth of God and history on my lips dtepncu A. Uouglas 1 (irant the Missouri line was unconstitutional, as we may all admit. Yet it was a matter of no practi cal importance at that point of time, and in course of litigation between party and party it would have soon been declared by tbe Supremo Court and the agitation iu Congress in consequence of its distur bance have been saved to the country. What is the history of this repeal of tho Missouri Compromise? Was its repeal tho long thought of carefully scanned measuro of most importance weighed de liberately in the mind of a judicious states man ? Far from it. The truth of itc history is this : After Mr. Douglas had from his Committee reported a bill for tho organization of tho Territories of Kansas and Nebraska in the usual form of Terri torial bills, and after, too, he had advo cated tho extension of tho MissourrCom promise line to tho Pacific, a Whig Sen ator from Kcntvcky remarked to him in substance: 'Why don't you, Douglas, re port a bill for-tho repeal of the Missouri line? Such a measure would be suppor ted by the South, and give you the lead of tbo Administration.' Douglas at onco Bttid : 'I will do it ;' and within forty eight hours this measure of repeal was introduced as an amendment to the Kan sas and Nebraska bill, uncalled for by tho Southern Democracy, but which thow were obliged to support, as it was riglifc in itself, and was advocated by its author as a measure in their favor, wbich would open equally all tho Territory of tbo coun try to tho citizone of all tho States for emigration with their property. A spe cious, but fallacious argument, because ife is utterly impossible, from tbo very na ture of slave property itself, that it should compete with the emigration from freo States, into a country whero free labor could be successfully carried on, and whero tho climate causes a suspension of agricultural labor for any considerable portion of the year. Still the measuro was supported substantially by all South ern members of Congress, and was claim ed by Douglas to be a boon to the South which he had given them.
