most of them have a teit book in the defence of Slavery in the person of the Rev Richard Fuller the man who on that subject baa long been daubing with untempered bmorta and sewing pillows the man who declares Slavery lo an evil but not a sin this is the man who has made himself the scape-goat to hack off their sins' yes the Rev Richard Fuller with erudition and his professed reverence for the Bible and Christianity has probably dono more than any one man to perpetuate American Slavery The Northern doughface (pm-slavery nau) is also here to advocate those principles which if practically carried out would deprive both him and his posterity ol their liberty Despite of all the stumbling blocks thrown in the way by Northern dough-faces and Southern divines Anti-Slavery principles are advancing Many of the Slaveholders here are accessible and gentlemanly on the subject They admit Slavery to be an evil and a am and many of them would be glad to 6e rid of Slavery think must cease

and pray Among other evils which I notice in this place is that ef running the Cars on the Sabbaths much to the annoyance of religious assemblies as the Cats run through the western section of tho village near where several houses of public worship are located And I am sorry to have occasion to say that some of our Esstemien among whom are ia few prbfessors of religion give courttenance to these violations' of the Sabbath by taking passage in the cars -on Jhst day Visitors to this place (many of them at least) pay very little regard to the Sabbath I have scarcely seeh crowded house of

would al once be seen that the objects of Sohlicrn Slave-holding democracy and their Northern doughfaces and ellies had been to protect and foster not -the industrial and laboring classes but the Slaiw-hohlmg aristocracy and power at the expense and ruin of the free and working claaaea and to the dimmest ken lira now apparent that the labor and industry of the North have been sacrificed lo

decay appears not unlikely to be the principal cause Potatoes a4i a meeting of the Farmers1 Club held in New York oil Tuesday the Secretary read a paper (Irawn up by Mr Cozzetis in which be gives a sketch of some visits to the polatoe fields on Long Island and in New Jersey He found the pot at oe almost everywhere suffering more or less from the rot The opinion seems to be general that the disease is inherent a natural decay which there is mr remedy and that we-must obtain new varieties of potatoes if we would be well provided with that important vegetable In 17X3 the favorite aud almost only potatoe in Bear (Washington) Market in this city was the peach or round potatoe brought from New Jersey this was then dry and mealy it soon degenerated however became wetscrog-gy and unfit to eat Its place was supplied with the English white potatoe which was then brought from Connecticut 1ft a few years these became heavy bitter and poisonous Next came the Fox potatoe which degenerated in the same manner and gave way to the blue noses 'which in their turn made room fid the famous pink eyes The latter were remarkably good but partly from degeneracy and partly from their small yield they were abandoned for the prolific Mercer potatoe wlpch has now been cultivated about Ii years and for the last three yearvhas been rapidly deteriorating AU thesenew varieties have been run through in East New Jersey since 1773 Other varieties have been cultivated in the interior of the State but not in extensive quantities Farmers are anxiously inquiring where they are to get seed for the new varieties Tffe balls once so plenty on the vines and from the seeds in which new varU eties were sometimes raised have almost entirely disappeared The present destructive potatoe disease has spread even to the Cape of Good Hope The great difficulty now is to get new and healthy varieties NY Eve Post Death by Drowning Mr Benjamin Dare in a pond near his dwelling honse in Carver on Tuesday last He
