individuals presented

fields and w ell-tilled farms, and made many an inquiry as to the mode of culture which had produced such valuable results. I think that we may judge with almost unerring certainty of the character of the man from seeing his farm. If I were a money lender, which by the way I am not, I would ask no other security for a

loan, than to see the borrower's

or stalk changed on that farm; and, I will venture the further assertion, that there never will. It has been exposed to all the casualties that have been supposed to produce the change, but without producing the slightest visible effect. From that day to this the same care has been exercised, and with the same success, and so careful is mv father that he

for successive crops have fallen there, und it has often been sown upon them. It is known to be a remarkably hardy plant, the seed of which will probably germinate after having lain in or upon the ground several years. That seeds

various kinds will thus lie in the

ound one or two or many years, and

then send forth luxuriant plants, is a fact, so far as I know, undisputed. For instance, every observant farmer kr.ows,

I that while c'over will spring up jibunjdantly in fields whrre none has grown, ' or been sown, for three, five or ten years, and when the seeds from ft hich it grew must have lain there during the whole itime unless we adopt a still more- ex- . travagant theory than the one under discussion, and suppose, that, not only wheat, but corn, rye, oats, barley, pump-

but they will be

in the in-

creased yield of wheat and better quality ! of flVur. Aside from the facts which I have . given, I will add two or three paragraphs ' by way of argument of the question be- I forf us. j The theory is contrary to nature. We do not find that other plants change; then why should this! There is just as much ' reason to suppose that cheat will change to wheat, yet we never hear that asserted. Why are there not mutual ch anges! Because Jehovah, long since, made an imperative law, that said; "the herb shall bear s?ed after its kind, and the fruit tree alter his kind;" "Do men gather grapes of thorns, or ligs of thistles !" "A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither 1 c&n a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit;" ! or, in other words, wheat cannot bring' fjrth cheat, neither can chea bring lorth . w heat. Di Cerent varieties of the same . plant will intermix, but seed of one plant does not produce another altogether dif- ' ferent from its present plant. i It will be readily admitted that more ' cheat u.-ually grows where wheat has' been fivzen out, as at the heads of bran 1 ch.-s, or where from any other cause it ; has not grown veil, but that by no means ' proves the change. If it did, a similar fact wi u!d prove that wheat changes to : Spanish m edics, bi.rrs, thistles, and other weeds, bi cjiuse those w ho have most ex- ' perii nce in raising those weeds can as-1 sure us. that they raise most abundant ; i ro;s of tlu-ni in the same places where cbe.it is most likely to grow. As well might on.? contend that trees change to elder bushes, nuii!en stalks, or burrdocks, ' b .'cause th .se shrubs and weeds are more frequently found around the stumps of . fallen trees than elsewhere. To explain ' this admitted lact is an easy matter. , Ch at. as I said before, is, undoubtedly, ' a hardy, a very hardy plant, ?nd is thus, found to spring up, and grow well, where j wheat h-is been frozen out, or from any j

otl er cause lias not come to maturity. ; It seems to start later in the spring, so that, w here the wheat is good, it is mostly choked, Riid does not make much show; but, where the wheat lias been injured, or destroyed, seeds burst into life, and small sticks spread into large stools, and produce abundantly. So. if part of the seetl sown has been picked up by birds,

We shall be in no hurry to

incur a fresh disappointment and discom- ! fiture like the last. It has long been our settled convic-' tlon that if it were possible to break up and disperse all the parties in the country as often as once in four years, it would be a very great public benefit. Parties are at best but necessary evils; they tend to perpetuate unsound prepnsessions and unjust prejudices; they im1 pede the diffusion and just 'influence of facts; they seal up the ears of multitudes against the reception of vital , truth. Hundreds of thousands are voting from year to year what is called the Democratic ticket from no dispassionate ' preference either of its principles or its men. but purely because they think a party nanitd Democratic must be right of course and its antagonist necessarily in the wrong. So far are we from thinking it a reproach to any party that i its members were not formerly known by
