A WORD TO YOUNG MEN
Of the three =odes of using tobacco,
nakoking is that which seems to hare insinu-
VetiitecTf nioiitettensi rely among the youth

in this way, being drawn in with the vital
treath ) tonveys Its poisonous influences into
every part of the lungs. There the nov

nicious inibtence on the blood--not in viv
ifying, but in vitiating it. 'The blood im
bibes the simulant narcotic principle and
circulates it through the whole system.—
It produces, in consequence, a febrile action
in those of delicate habits. Where there
is any tendency to pbthisio and the tuber

Tll6 Arttlie Expedttlels.
Dr. Kane, who wtts attached to the A
merioanExploring Expedition, is deliver
ing a course of lectures on. this interesting
subject 'at the Smithsonian Institute in
Washington. We find in the National
InteArmor a brief report of the first two
lectures, from which we extract the fol
lowing :
"The topic is full ot interest. For the
first time we were made aware of the geo
graphical importance of the Arctio ocean
i
---Nn ocean who pea exceeds four and
a half millio ns square miles, and whose
tributs;iiii drains larger country than
the Indus, the Ganges, the Mississippi, and
the Oronoco combined. In discussing the
much vexed question of the cui bone of
these Arctic Expeditions, Dr. Kane, after
citing in detail their vtduable contributions
to general science, observed that the cod
fishery of Newfoundland grew out of the
voyage of Sir llumplircy Gilbert ; the
northwest passage of Davis opened the
whaleflshery of %Vest Greenland ; and Fro
bisher pioneered Hudson to that great bay,
which now margins the most lucrative fur
company of the age,
"Sir John Franklin was last seen in lief
fin's Bay, in July, 1845, moored to an ice
burg and avvaitingsno_p_cning to the West.
By a strange coincidence, the American
Expedition was imprisoned for two succes-,
sive seasons at the same spot. The next
traces of his onward progress,. were the sad
memorials of his first winter encampment,
at the mouth of Wellington Channel, a
large inlet opening towards the north ; and
here Dr. Kane, after describing the scene,
whiCh he was among the first to visit, expre:
ref his conviction that' the missing vessel
had proceeded in the early summer of 1846,
up this inlet to the unknown regions of the
north. Thiti seems to us extremely probe ,
ble. The American expedition, in fact
drifted helplessly in this very direction.—
They attained a latitude (75° 26' north)
never before attained on this meridian by
keel of Christian ship, and there saw the
Ark water sky that indicated the Polyna
of open sea, advocated by Lieut. Maury.--
It was this painful and helpless drift to the
North that urged upon Dr. Kane and his ,
comrades the conviction of Franklin hav
ing preceded them upon this very .1.'" , 14211.
,"Franklik was ordered by the British
Admiralty to proceed through Lancaster
I Sound for some three hundred and fifty
l
miles, ton Cape called Walker, thence ho!
was to steer to the Southward and West-1
ward L towardsßehring:a strai&a. Failing to
accomplish this, he was ordered to attempt
a passage to the North by Wellington Chan
nol. Dr. Kano, by a series of practical
arguments, which seem to us almost con
clusive, shows that this was the passage
which ho adopted, and we see, although a I
few of the English officers differ with him
in opinion, that the Ascent yuhlications of
the British Press fully sustain alio view.—
The position of Sir John Franklin's first
winter-quarters, at the very mouth of this
'channel, is conclusive as to the fact of that
judicious commander having contemplated
ita future navigation. It was the shams
tire enjoined by his "orders," and the lee
tuterdetailed many facts to short that it was
a favorite alternative. Dr. Kane, in inves
tigating the natural laws which regulate
the ice -drift, showed that the eastern sides
of this channel are earlier and more fre
quently open than the western ; and the
peculiar position of Sir John Franklin en
abled him to see and takeadVantage of the
very first of these early openings.
"Add to this the singular and perplex
ing fact, that Franklin loft no written re
cord of his intentions, and it really seems
as if the ice bad suddetilropened to the
North, and that Sir John, with his daring
and energetic promptitude, had pushed iu•
to thi's, without delaying to give to the
world behind him a notice of his course.—
Certain it is that the deserted encampment
bears marks of haaty departure, forcing us
to the conclusion that Sir John Franklin
has six'years' age.reached the region north
of this iee-bound inlet, and has since been
unable to return.

TRANSPIANTING Or FRUIT
Land to be set with fruit-trees should be
be-plowed in the fall or very early in the
spring; it should be plowed very deep-or
subsoiled. When the ground is quite ready,
get your - trees, and set them the same
day, if you can ; never buy trees that have
been dug over winter, and
,"laid by the
heel ;" nor plant so late in the season,
as when the leaves have started ; trees of
this kind may live, but you lose the growth

have often planted trees which grew four
feet the first year. Holes should be dug
of sufficient width and depth to extend
.the roots to their original capacity. - When
the trees are placed in the holes, spread
out the lower roots and cover them with
fine earth, as also all the rest in like man
ner; get the roots into the earth so that
they will stand interspersed, in regular sys
tem, with the soil as the roots of a growing
tree always do. The practice of thrusting
the roots of a tree all in a heap, then piling
on hard earth, manure, ko., and stamping
it down hard, is sometimes successful, but
no scientific cultivator would recommend
it. After trees are set, the ground should
be stirred around them while the heat of
the season lasts, as often as once in two or
three weeks ; and if great drought should
prevail, they should be occasionally water
ed ; this should be done by making holes
with a stick among the roots, and then pour
on a pail of water.

by a Nasliva paper to entitle it to the name
of a "dog story." A man down East

dog. A very noble dog he was too. The
catalogue of his merits was a very long

whole catalogue for which he was not dis
tinguished.--but if there was any one thing
in which he peculiarly excelled, it Was 'his
prowess as a wolf hunter. This with ' touch

Vtto Moose,
Veto of the "Obstroctlots IMLIP
On lituratlay Gov. Jon:4B7oN sent into
the Senate of Pennsylvania Ilia objection,
to the passage of the bill of last sesaioa,
for granting the use of ourjalle to the safe
keeping of Fugitive Mattes, It is as tot-
lows s
To the Senate of Penneylatmiit;--
Satssions :—An act entitled "An Act
to repeal the Sixth Section of an act, enti•
tied an act to prevent kidnapping and pre.
serve the public peace. prohibit the exer•
ciao of certain powers heretofore exercised
by Judges, Justicees of the Peace s and Jail•
ors of this Commonwealth and to repeal ,
certain Slave Laws," has been held un•
der adt•isement since the adjournment of
the last Legislature.
In obedience to the provisions of the
Constitution. I retorn this bill to the Senate,
where it originated, without my approval,
and with my reasons for withholding it.
To those reasons, founded on the clearest
sense of duty and of official responsibility,
I invite your candid. attention. They are
now fur the first time given, because now,
for the first time since the passage of this
act, has an opportunity offered to confer
with those to whom my reasons may be
important, and with whom they inay be
operative. The section proposed to be re
pealed is in these words, "It shall not be
lawful to use any jail or prison of this Cons.
moowealth for the detention of any per.
son claimed as a fugitive front servitude or
I labor, except in cases where jurisdiction
may lawfully be taken by any judge un
der the provisions of this act ; and any'
jailor or keeper of any prison, or other
person who shall offend against the pro
visions of this section, shall, 0111 convic
tion thereof, pay a fine of five hundred dok
tars I one-half thereof for the use of this
Commonwealth and do: other half to the
person who prosecutes ; and shall moro.
over, thenceforth, he removed hum office,
and be incapable of holiiing such office of
jailor or keeper of a prison at any lime
during his natural life," It is a panel a law
passed in the year 1847, under the Exeou.
live Administration of my predecessor, and
by votes'unanimous, or nearly so, of both
branches of the legislature. The bill un
der consideration is
. confined to the repeal
or the section prohibiting the use of our
prisons as places of detention for fugitives
front labor. It the legislation proposed
authorizes the use of the prisons, it is in
repugnance to the Constitution of the U
nited States as expounded by the Supreme
Court. By a decision made in deroga
tion of the local statutes of Pennsylvania,
the Supreme Court of the United States,
held in Si) mail!, words that all State legis
ktstion on the subjeut of the reclamati on of
gi tires from labor, whether to obstruct, to
aid il, hinder or promote it, is absolutely
and entirely prohibited. The legislation of
Congress supersedes all State legislation
on the subject, and by necessary implica
tion prohibits it,
The State cannot enact auxiliary pro
visione on the subject. This is the very
language. 11 therefore an act of assembly
were passed, authorizing the several Coun.
ty Commissioners to erect safe houses of
detention for persons claimed as fugitives
from labor, under such regulations as the
Legislature or its agents might prescribe,
for the reception or safe keeping of the in
mates, such a law would be unconstitu
tional, and consequently void, and any
single discontented citizen of a county
might have it so declared. lam unable to
see any dilfetence in this respect between
the special construction of such places of
detention regulated and controlled by State
authority and State agents, and the per
mission to use those already erected and
regulated by general laws. It is the State
law interfering in the question of the al
hedged fugitive and his claimant, and such
laws the Supreme Court or the United
States have pronounced unconstitutional.
It is not the legislaiimi &Pennsylvania that
has closed i our jails against the reception of
such fugitives, but a formal decision of the
Supreme Court, declaring our former
Statute on this subject unconstitutional : a
decision which, until reversed, is binding
on every department of this government.
Nor were the certain consequences of
this doctrine, thus solemnly adjudicated,
unfirrseen. The present Chief Justice of
the United States, an eminentjurist, and
a citizen of the State of Maryland, in dis
senting from the opinion of the court, ex
pressed' his belief that these very eflecte
would he produced, and foretold the time,
When State agency heing repudiated, and
State prisons closed by this very decision,
Nile territory of the neighboring States
would become open path ways for fugitives
from labor." These are his words, and
they conclusively show in what light he
understood the judgement thus pronounced.
I am aware it has been alletlged that the
point herein mentioned as decided did not
arise in the case. It is answered, that the
Judges of the Court, iu their several de
cisions, declared otherwise.
The Chief Justice, who was present and
took part in the hearing, and whose dis
senting opinion furnishes his views of
what was decided, says : "ant as 1 under
stand the opinion of the Court, it goes fur
ther, and derides that the power to provide
a remedy fur this right is exclusively ves
ted in Congress, and that all laws urn
the subject by a State, since the adoption
of the Constitution, are null and void."
Justice Wayne Lays, "In that opinion
it is Jet-hied :8. That the legislation by
Congress upon the provision, as the au
promo law of the land, excludes all Suite
legislation upon the same subjeet ; and
that no State can pass any law or vegeta
tion, or interpose such as may have /wen
law or regulation when the Constitution
of the U.luttes was ratified, to super•adtl,
control. qualify, or impede a remedy NW
led by Congress for the delivery of lugitivo
