In this manner his interest prompts aim to entertain a more earnest regard for the prosperity of the political institutions of his country than any other citizen. Landed property is a public fund of the most stable nature, and they who would share its treas ures, are bound by all the fixed associations vrhicb their occupation engender?, to a deep - and earnest love for their native land The voice, of experience sounding from the rums of the Roman Empire, and the wasted plains of the once prosperous kingdom of Spain1, is nough to convince us that agriculture is the piL'ar of national strength. History recounts 'examples of nations rising from poverty and -obscurity, to the meridian of a successful ca reer by an industrious application to the pur suits of this art, while national shipwreck, and social misery, have been the fatal conse , jTiences of its neglect' , The impotent condi i. tion of Egj-pt, once tho garner of the cast, . ha a mournful witness in her neglected fields . and unultivatcd vallies. ..

The val lies of that noble river exhibit no longer the . expanse of tie well cultivated liarvcst, and tho wolf and jackal, howl through the plains (he mournful reaiera of .departed splendor. vThe influence of agricultural pursuits on the i, social condition of those who engage in them, , is marked by the most gratifying results. They cultivate the moral sentiments by im prerthing the mind with a just appreciation of ... that mysterious power which causes the earth to bear such ample fruittulncss fr man. To farm successfully, it is necessary not only U labor, but to call to our assistance tho exer . cLe of judgment-and reflection. The mind and body ore both exercised, maintaining by this means a healthy equilibrium. The Crea tor, when he commanded man to till the soil, bo . constituted tho natural order, that the pursuit of the husbandman, should bo more : congenial with hid happiness than those of ('.any other class. The broad earth upon which ; be treads lord of the abundance his power can cause it to yield, and the reflection that ,i all was created for, his benefit, imbue bis mind with noble and liberal sentiments. : Hence, we discover no clas of our citizens Qiore hospitable than the farmer.

He cherishes the associations - which endear him to his quiet hearth, as so ' many links in the chain of existence. By this means is promoted the sentiment of patri otism, or nationally which leads a people to love their country above every other, and . jnst in proportion as they are attached to their homes, will they eling to her in prosperity or ' trial. ' Hon. William L- Marey- - (From the Pittaburg Post. ' - The Pittsburg Jutirnal. has been abusing the present natioual administration without -ctint of cessation for three yeais past. This denunciation included, of course, Mr. Marey, who occupied the highest post in the cabiuet. Space would fail us to recapitulate all the grounds of vituperation and censure heaped upon it for its management not only of our ! lomegti, but also our foreign affairs. Now, bowever, when the present administration is drawing to a close, the Journal seems fit to change its tone, and on Saturday morning it vtterred the following just remarks. It says : William L. Marcy, as Secretary of State ba proved himself one of the very foremost men of his country, . and has conducted the: foreign relations of this Gov- eminent in a manner at once able, dignified and magnanimous, doing as much honor to Lis country as he has done honor to himseif." Now that is ft just tribute to one of the grea test statesmen of this or any other country ; and though - it comes late, and from an oppo nent, would entitle hifa to great fairness and candor, if it were not apparent from the whole 'article that candor was nopaitof its purpose. it appears that our neighbor is smitten with sudden a apprehension that Mr. Marey will not occupy a placo in President Buchanan's Cabinet. Wc do not know how that may be; . but it is barely possiblo that Mr. Buchanan, .seeing bow dissatisfied the Republicans ap pear to be with the present Cabinet, may form : an entirely new one just to please than YVe .say "just possible." for the probabilities are that he will do just exactly what he pleases about . it. without any serious regard to the' 1 wishes of tho Journal and its friends. Un doubtedly he will form a good one, and ' one , that will administer ' the Government fairly and successfully for the next four years ; and nndouetcdly tho Journal will belabor it with a hearty ill-will for the whole term. I - - . - Compliment to Printers. John C: Rivcs.of Virginia, in a recent pub lished letter on the subject of public printing has a word of suggestion to writers for the ' press and a compliment to the compositor, whoso dnty it is not uufrcqucnIy to make sense out of very senseless chirography. None but a writer for the press can comprehend how much there is in the veteran printer's remarks. ' Many members of Congrss and not a few gre ater must havc been surprised at the respect able figure they cut in print, without thinking ''of the toilsome labor and the exercise of the bet ter talent than their own which had been ex pended by the journeyman printer in putting into good shape the message or report of a 'fpeeeb furnished them. 4 Mr.' Rivos says: I have the manuscript wri 'ting of most great men of the country during tbc past twenty years, and I think that I may say that not twenty, of them could stand the test of the scrutiny of one half the journeymen printers employed in my office. - This fact will be vouched by every editor in the Union Td a poor journeyman' printer many a 'great ; man owes his reputation for scholarship ; and ' were tbc bumble compositors to resolve, by ' concert, to set up manuscript in their bands. " -even for one little week precisely as it is written by the authors, there would be more . reputations slaughtered than their 'devils' could 1 shake a 'sticV at in twenty four hours States men would become 'small by degrees, and beautifully less.' Many an ass would have the lion's bide torn from bis limbs. Men whom tbq world would call writers, would wake up momingf and find themselves famous as mere ' pretenders humbugs and cheats !" The population of Iowa City on the first of -July was 6,095.' In 1850 it bad but 1250 inhabitants.

The Canal Board made their annual ap pointments last week. The appointments give general satisfaction. Some little grumbling is always heard on such occasions, inasmuch as it is not possible for everybody to get an office, and the disappointed take a small growl to themselves before they settle down. The appointments for our county, are Jas Brydon.Ksq. for Superintendant of the Por tage Hail 'Road, and H. A. Boggs, Ksq, Supervisor of the Concmaugh division. Of Mr. Brydon we have already spoken. Wc were obliged to mention his name 6ome th ree weeks ago, and show that credit claim ed ir another was due to him. We then alluded to his untiring industry and sleepless vigilance. As these qualities were conspicu ous whilst he acted in a subordinate capacity, we have no doubt of them being exerted to tho benefit of the Commonwealth at his more extended sphere of action. We are glad to record our friend Boggs' appointment : it is an excellent one in every respect. Mr. Boggs is an old forwarding man, and is thoroughly acquainted with the duties of his situation. He is intelligent, en ergetic, and as good a Democrat as "ever voted the whole ticket." Mr. John Gadd, who last year had charge of Mr. Boggs' Division, has been transferred to the Upper Juniata Division. Mr. Gadd has the reputation of being a superior officer. Tho offices of Cargo Inspector at Iloilidays burg, and of Wood Inspector on the Portage Rail Road, have been discontinued.
