he could not help interlarding his discourse

the company a little anecdote, and thus

This was the origin of (boob, sugar tongs

When Sidney Smith had eonoluded, the

• Budding, or inooulationi is one of the
most general) and, in ibis country, by fir
the • most important method of summer
propagatimi.: This operation consists in
removing wired from the varietY..to•- be
propagated, and inserting it on another,
which is called the stook. Ite Stleeetllde

In the first , place there , must he a certain
degree of affinity between the teciek and
the, parent plant frbm which We propose
tspropagate. Thus, suiting fruit trees,
the apple, crab, pear, quint?), tuespiltts, and
mountain ash,
,all belong to the same nat
ural family,, and awl be worke.ti aPoa each
other. The plum, • apricot; nectarine.
peach and *lnland, ' form adotht4 natural
division, and work upon each other. • The
cherry must be worked, upon some kind; of
cherry, and currants and gooseberries go
Figether. In general practice the apple
is worked' either upon apple seedlings
which are called free stocks, or upon the
doucain or paradise, which are dwarf
growing species, and are used for the
purpose of making small trees. The
pear is either worked upon pear seedlings, '
which are called free stocks, or upon the
quince to make dwarfs; occasionally it is
worked upon the mountain ash and thorn.
Bat it must be borne in mind that while
all varieties succeed on the pear seedling,
a certain number fail entirely ou, the other
stocks we have named: The cherry is
worked either upon seedling, or what is
known as, the trtazgard. a small, black.
sweet cherry, that form a. very large ro
bust tree ; or for dwarf, on the witthafeb.
or perfumed cherry, which is a email tree
with bitter fruit, aboutai large as a com
mon ailed per. • •
-:In-the second place r the.buds-,must be
in a proper state. • The shoot, or scion
budded from, must be the presentseasen'e
growth, and it must be mature—that is it
should have completed its growth, ' , which
is indicated by the formation of a. bud on
the point, called the terbrinal bud, and the
buds inserted should be wood buds. On a
shoot of this hind; there are a number of
buds unsuitable for Working ; those at the
base being but partially developed. are liable
to become dormant, and those on the poini,
where the wood is pithy, perish. The ri
pening, or maturing of the bade, must reg
ulate the -period of budding, So that the
time at which any given tree or class of
trees should be worked, depends , upon
the season, the soil. and Wier cirourostan
; Cell which control the ripmin*of wood.--
tln our climate, -plums usually ooltridite
!their growth earlier then other fruit trees,
and are, therefore. budded first ; usu
ally have ripe buds by the middle of July.
In some cases, when the stocks are likely
•to stop growiug early, it beccimee necessa
ry to take the buds before the entire
; shoots have completed their 'growth,
: and then the ripe buds from the middle
!and • lower parts aro chorea. • Cherries
come next, and are generally worked a
bout the first of August. The buds must
be mature, or a failure will be cer
tain.
In the third place, the stock must be in
the right condition—that is, the bark
must lift freely and cleanly from the wood,
and there must be a sufficient , qtiantity of
sap between the bark and 'wood to sustain
the inserted bud and form a union with it.
Stocks, such as the common aorta of plum. ,
pear. and cherry, that finish their growth
early, must be worked early; while such
as the peach, qUince, wild or ['Witt plum,
Mahaleb cherry, etc., that grow late must
be worked late. If these .stocks that
grow freely till late in the,autumn . be bud
ded early, the buds will either be covered
up—"drowned" as 'it is technically call
ed—by the rapid formation of a new
woody substance. or they, will be forced
out into a premature growth. ,
A very great degree of sappiness, in 'ei
ther the stuck or bud, make up, in Part,
for the drYnest of tha other. Thus, lrithe
fall, when plum bade aro quite dry,ive can
work them successfully on stocks that are
growmg rapidly. , This is a very.fortenate
circumstance. too. Young stocks, with . a
smeoth;clean bark, are nioro 'easily aid
euecessfolly worked thin Old . tna, and
when it happens that the latter have to be
used, young parts of them ahould be chosen
to insert the bud on. • . ,
In localities where buds are liable to in
jury trent freezing and''thawhig •in the
winter, the beds are surfer 'on the'north
side of the stock, and when :exposed:to
danger front wind, they should ~be inserted
on the side facing, the point whore the
most; dagetitis wind blows front. At
tention to this point; ifur
washy of tying np, which in large prati•
ties is an item of some moment.
In the fourth place, the man* opera
tion must be performed.with,,neatuess and ,
despatch. If a Mid be taken off With rag
ged edgesi' or if it, be 'ever 'so slightly ,
bruised. or if the bark of the stook be not
lifted clean withotit bruising the Woad
der it, the case will certainly be a failure.
The budding knife must be thin and sharp.
A rough edged razor is no more certain to
make a painful shave, than a rough edged
budding.knifo is to make an unsuccessful
bud. It takes a good knife, &steady hand,
and considerable practice to cut off buds
handsome, well and quick. As to taking
out the particles of wood attached to the
bud, it matters little, if the cut be good
and nut too deep. in taking out thewood
great care is necessary to avoid taking the
root of the bud with it. Thou when the
bad is in its place, it must be well tied up.
Nice, smooth, soft strips of bark, like nar
row ribbons,are the beat and most conven
ient in common use. Every part of the
cut must be wrapped so firm as tb exclude
the air completely ; and this should be
done as quickly as possible, as the air soon
blackens the inner surface of the new parts
that are placed in contact.
We have thus stated briefly, for the ben
eat of beginners, the chief points that re-
Oita particular attention ie budding, .or

yitts are led to inquire what the cause
'is and .where it lies. It is now 'two years,
_f our Jigo alwarkstitrenteen days since the
of this .country were told that- the
Country had gone' securely to real. -The
,ptilitical doctors had told us that the five
bleeding wounds of the body politia were
healed and that agitation was at an end.
The Conventions of Baltimore affirmed
that the whole matter was settled, and one
party—the Democratic—told us that they
meont to hurl a political anathema at any
Mail,. or any set of men, who should re
new the agitation on the question of Slav
erY. Although some,of us didn't , like the
adjustment very well, yet it is due to his
tory and to fact to say that the great mass
o f the people had accepted the Compromise.
The country, had gone to rest. We had
'etnbarked on board of the old ship call
ed "Finality." We tvere like passengers
on board of a Californa steamer out at
night under the canopy of heaven—the
stars keeping watch over our heads. The
ocean was tranquil; but suddenly, at mid
night, a cry was heard front the quarter
deck ; there iti'danger nigh—the ship is
in trouble. Every passenger leaps from
his berth—all !mode are summoned on
deck. What now is the cry? "There is a
wave of agitation, mountain•high, about
to overwhelm this • Finality ' and send
her to the bottom. Fellow-citizens is
my picture too strong ? (Cries of "No,"
"No. 'g Look over the fifteen Northern
States of this Union for the last two years

Let the ask you one question further
Who wad it that aprung this measure
'upon tui Wati called for it 1 I En
glad to tell you that it was not the peo

§outh the credit they deserve, when I
say they , hid not dream of asking such a
thing. Who then did spring it upon us t

school s while if you will gather up the
remonstrances against it they will onm
up in btilk to ilie.tinntrnitude of a Connec
ticut' ltay-stack [Applause.] Senators'
desks groaned - with the Weight of these
ielnenstrances ; and when that one, signed
by pie three thousand clergymen of N6w
Eoglind, wae,presented [applause] it was
not :because it was signed by clergymen
but because it was understood to be the
embodiment of the great moral and relig.
nos sentiment of the North, that they es
studied a certain limber-backed Senator
who presented it [Laughter.] It was
becaUse it was the, embodiment of North
ern aentiment that the authors of this
ticheme--liketertain Gadariues in ancient
times-cried out. "Why hest thou come
to torment tut before our time 1" [Great
laitghter.] But who was it that demand
ed this, meartnre 1 I will tell you. It
was three politieal demagogues I don't
want to name them: It is not polite in a
'great assembly 'to call names. But 1 will
give you their habitattons. One is a man
that registers his name at the west end of
lake Erie at Detroit—a wheezy, fat old
horse. they crowded off the race in advance
[Laughter. J . Another is a man that crone
trom the white hills Of' New liatnpshire
and the prospect is that he will go buck to
the place whence, he came and take his
entire Cabinet with him . ; and he will
not be the first • man that went back, tak
ing with him seven spirits worse than the
first [Laughter and applause.] Tho
third, and by no means the least of the
trio, is one who wee (Mtn near the foot of
the Green Mountains, but left his native
home very, early and moved to the ' , Nest.
And lest you should nut know whom I
mean, I will tell yeti that one of his
names bears a close affinity; as do his
heart and soul, to that of the man who in
1779 made a proposition to betray the
fortress of West Point to the British [Ap.
plause.] Where are them, three men
now ? [Laughter.]
"When shell we three meet again
In thunder, lightning or in ram:' [Laughter.]
All crowded off the course, and a math
put on the track in their places whose on
ly recommendations are negative qualities
[Applause.] As they said of one of the
heathen deities, his great merit consists in
the fact that he is a great bundle of nega
tions. That is the kind of man ttnit has
superseded all these nimble fellows that
played this gamer so artfully. Nnw, let
me ask you another question. what was
it that startled the North and aroused this
universal indignation ? It was an jukes!.
tien of a .compact—a compact that had
been solicited by the South and reluctant
ly granted by the North. And so odious
was it to the people of the North, that eve
ry statesinan.who took part itt it failed to
maintain himself with his constituents, and
had to walk out of the political
But when we entered the coinpacit,' when
we bad put our hand, and seal toil,. we
had too much honor to back' out from it.
And when that measure passed, how watt
it carried through finally ? It called to its j
aid the giants of the South. I 'have their
names now in my mind,.who came in at
last to the rescue :Lounge, Pinckney, Mc.;
Lean, and last but not least, Henry Clay
[Great applause.] These men were call
ed for. They carried the matter through.
And where now are the men, that put their
hand to it 1 I remember the celebrated
letter of Pinckney, after the passage of
the measure. Said . he': "Last night we
carried the measure through. It will ve
ry soon give the South six or eight more
Senators." These allcameolong.. '`But"
said he, "we agreed to prohibit Slavery
North of a certain line. We did that to
quiet agitation on the subject It is a
fruitless and barren donation to the North:
Long years must roll round before the
sound of civilized man will be heard North
of that line." But I tell you, fellow-citi
zens, the tread of the Angloßaxon man is
firm and 'rapid I When- Freedom,. with
melting eye and yearning heart, was look

one ofthoselgla say-eyed Locofocos who say
suchthings, [great laughter,] and ask him
the, question, What would they think if,
this picture should he reversed 1 Suppose,
in 1854, it had Chanced, among the many
other things that- might have been, that
William H. Seward had been President
of the United States [Great and euthurk

time 'there Mid been an Abolition majority,
in Congress, and that in a moment unlook

of Ohio [great applause]—;he knows how
to pull a trigger, and that is a good deal—
[great applause]---..suppose that Senator
Wade had sprung a trap upon Congress
and the country, by proposing that the
act of 1820, which introduced Missouri as
a Slave State into the Union: be repealed
and, thinking there would he a little stir
about it, should have taken care in hie bill
to make provisiou that the bona-fide set

vote upon the question de novo, whether
they will have Slavery in the ierritory of
Missouri.. But S lavery

these, there phonic' bo a thousand Radicals

on the night before election! they go over,

man five.minutes to comply with their re•
quest or be shot; and they dgrastate the
entire confines of Missouri, elect a major.

in Penneylvnnia, in New-York. What
do you think such a Legislature would
be likely to, do I They would know
what they were elected for, and they
would do it.' They' would declare for
their first act, that any man that sees fit to
discuss the question whether Slavery can
exist in 'Aliseutiri shall branded es crim•
inal, and have seven years in the Peniten
tiary. Don't you think, fellow-citizens,
that for all this there would be something
of a rustling down South 1 Would there
not be an alarm 1 Would not the entire
sentiment of the world rise up and pro
teat against such a course ? Suppose if
the whole people of that State should rend
a memorial to President Seward, complain
ing of their wronge, and he should say to
them : ' , You shall have justice done to
you—l never meant, anything wrone—l
will call a new Governor, if you are not
