HUMOROUS' REPORT ON BUTTER- “'0 copy the following Irom the Far mer’s Monthly Visitor. There is a goud moral conveyed in it. tnld‘with a rich vem ol humor thatis capital. It is Irom the pen of S. 8. Little. ol the Merrimnc (N. ll.) Agricultural Society, The bentficence of the Creator is mam fest. in so disposing our tastes. and so a dapting these to the varieties with which we are surrounded, as to make lifeascene of enjoyment instead of a burden. It might have been that necessary food would have been noisome. as it is sometimes to the diseased stomach, had it not pleased the Creator'to have ordered it otherwise. Bread is the stat! of tile. but butler is giv on to make it slip down easier. and with a better relish. But it depends somewhat on who makes the butter, whether it an swers this purpose. Butter made in Joe Bunker’s latnily. needs to be eaten in the dark; then l 0 make it pass well. one or two other senses should be laid aside— while that made by his brother Jonathan may be eaten in the full blaze of noon; you would wish that your neck was along again, that you might have the pleasura ble sensation of swallowing prolonged.— Peihaps a bit of the history of their better halves will explain the whole matter. Joe’s wile was Sally Sly—when a small girl she was sly—she would not hall wash the tnilk pail. but sly it away and let it sour. She was sly at school. and did not half get her lessons, but would have her book _ln sight when reciting—hut as she. grew older she learned that to get well married. she must appear wall. and so she bent all her cunning to get a superficial education in everything. from roasting a potatoe to playing the piano. Poor Jo tell in love with her, and "love has no eyes," so he married her. But soon alter she entered on housekeeping. his eyesight came. and he saw his fix. that it was ”for better or worse,” and he thought it was all for the worse. Like a true philosopher. he concluded to endure what he could not avoid or cure, and got along tolerably well. only when he came to her butter—for his mother was a real butter maker. Every time he saw or tasted of Sally’s butter he felt the horrors. 'Hervmanner of making butter is somewhat'as follows: She thinks it of no consequence whether the milk pail is sweet or sour-rsets the milk- in a warm room, hecause it is easierthan to go into, the cellar, and if some dirt should blow into the; pans. she thinks every man must .“eat a peck of dirt,” and in no place will it. slip down easier than in butter—s she lets the cream pots be open. and when she churns forgets 'the poke; leaves the cream nearly at. blood heat that it may come quick. When she takes it out at the churn sheipicksfloutfthe bodies at all tlies and spiders—the legs and wings ure“"'so small they can be swallowed. She works out half the buttermilk and sets It away in a .warmlplacelor use. , Poor'Joehas seen so much butter of thiskind that he de clares 'butter'does not agree with his health,'and will not" taste‘ it.

' Here he found the butter exactly right. —tliough the weather was hot, the butter kept its shape as well as bees wax. He ratechised the old lady about her house i wilery, tor the bread was as right as the butter. The old lady said her health was ‘teebie—slie could do but little. and Jenny had the whole management. He made some roundabout inqurries concerning Jen ny, and heard that she was ahearty. black eyed lass 0! about two and twenty ; had ‘ never seen a piano or attended a ball, but knew the assembly’s chatechism, & coulrl sing Old Hundred toa charm. spin flit! i and darn stockings. and was then gone In ttown withbutter. He lingered but she iwas delayed. and when his excuses tor staying were exhausted. he started. vHe icould not get the good butter out ol ills tmind, and. how ithappened. I 'know not. ‘he soon lound his way there again. tutti i the result ofhis adventure was he made a “lie of Jane McKean. And now one lump of his butler is worth more than Joe's wile ‘u ould make in a month. There’s no new ble in going to market—the keepers of genteel boarding houses in the neighboring villages send and take it at the highest market price. Now the main diflercnce between these Itoo women arises lrom the manner of training. though there is no diti’erencc in natural disposition. Old Madam Sly nev er looked ozi'to see that Sally dttl up her work right. but suffered her to shy off her Work as she chose, and though a good house keeper herself. was altogether too Indulgent. and like some other mothers, thought more of getting Sally well married than of making her fit tor a wile—while old Madam McKesn was determined Jen ny should be fit lor any man's \Vitt‘. “llclh er she got married or not.

Mrs. Eng,rs very close and sa ving; and Mrs. Chang is disposed to in dulge in‘dress and various other expenses. The twins rarely diner about dress; but often difier in their ideas of purchasing negroes or land. The opinion at Eng is always the law, and Chang readily acqui~ csces.

'l‘he Sanitary Commissioners appointed by the Parliament of England. have made a remarkable report. it appears that Chol era and Influenza are intimate diseases. both delighting in the same localities and that thelatter is lat more dangerous than the former. Last November, the Influen za attacked in London 500,000 persons, making for the space of eleven weeks 6,- 145 deaths per week above the usual num her. an excess greater than the entire mor taltty produced by the Cholera in the twen ty-one weeks during which it raged in 1832. On examination. it seems Cholera is diarrhma, developed to a monstrous form by a peculiar state of the atmosphere, ac. cumulated moiet exhalations, with sudden changes of temperature. lnlluenza is the ordinary "cold developed to an epidemlc.” Cholera. in its first stages, readily yields to aromatics, opiates and estritl”genta. Now. havingfound out the cause. we have but to remove it to prevent the effect; and know ing the cause, we can more intelligently proceed to modify the effect. It becomes then the duty 0’ municipal bodies to re more all stagnan pools, ditches. bad drains, and if possible orest lands and marshes contiguous; in fact. to take away. as far as possible. every cause that may engen der mrasmata.

Platform ofthe Campaign... BALTIMORE, May 26, 1848. Mr. HALLETT. of Boston, from the Committee on Resolutions. read the lol lowing report: to . Resolved. That the American democ racy place their trust in the intelligence. the patriotism, and the discrimmating-insb ttce ol the American people. Resolved. That we regard this as a ‘dis? tinctive lonture ol our political creed. which we are proud to maintain before the World as the great moral element in a term ol government springing from and upheld by the popular will; and we cootrast'il Wlllt the creed and practice of federalism, under whatever name or form, which seeks to palsy the will of the constituent, and which conceives no imposition too mon strous lot the popular credulity. Resolved, therefore. That, entertaining these news, the democratic party oi this Union, through their deiegntes assembled in a general convention of the States. cos ming together in a spirit of concord. of devotion to the doctrines and laith ofa free representative government. and ap pealing to their iellow citizens lor the rec titude ol their intentions. renew and re assert before the American people the de clarations of principles avowed by them when, on a lormer occasion. in general convention, they presented their candi dates for the popular suflragea. 1. That the tederal government is one ol limited powers, derived solely lrom the constitution; and the grants of power shown thereto ought to be strictly con strued by all the departments and agents of the government: and that it is inexpe (lien! and dangerous to exercise doubtful lconatitutional powers. 2. That ihe constitution does not con fer upon the general government lhe pow ,elrkt'n Icommence and carry on a general system of internal improvements. ' 3. That lhe conslimtiun does not con fer authority upon the lederal governmenl, directly or Indirectly. lo nssome lhe debts of the several States, conlrucled lor local Internal improvemenli. or other Slate pur poses; nor would such assumption l'ejusl and eXpediem. 4. That justice and sound policy for bid the federal government to foster one branch ofindustry to the detriment uran other. or to cherish the interests of one portion to the injury of another portion of our common country; that every citizen. 81 every section of the country. has a right to demand and insist upon an equality of rights and privileges, 5!. to complete & am ple protection of persoos&property from domestic violence or foreign aggression. 5.

That Congress has no power to char ter a national bank; that we believe such an institution one of deadly hostility to the best interest of the country, dangerous to our republican institutions and the liber ties of the people. and calculated to place the business of the country within the control of a concentrated money power. and above the laws and the will of the people; and that the results of democrat ic legislation. in this and all other finan cial meuSures upon which issues have been made between the two political parties of the country. have demonstjryted to candid and practical_ men offigflwnrties. their soundness. safety, and .Imi'ryty in all busi ness pUrsuits. . 7- That Congress has no power under the constitution to interfere with or con trol the domestic institutions of the never at Slates, nod that such States are the sole and proper judges of every thing apper taining to their own affairs. not prohibited by the constitution ; that all eflorts of the nbolitionists or others made to induce Cangress to interfere with questions of slavery. or to take incipient steps in rela llOu the'reto; ore calculated to lend to the most’slarming and dangerous consequen ces; and that all such efforts haile an in evitable tendency to diminish the happi' nessot the people. and endanger the sta bility and permenencyef ,_the Union, and ought not to be countenanced by any friend of our political institutions. ‘B.
