As t!;1: intellectual improvement of man progu ss d, it w as natural tliat some advances should be made in a science upon whith llieir well being was so eminently based.

Their staUsm. n, authors and heroes made it a s!u d and groat pregiesS was nl-o made in horticulture; for ihe gar dens cf Rome wtie more extraordin aiy than those of any other nation. Accor ding to Pliny, the citizen soldiers of Rome, "ploughed their lields with lae same diligence tint Uicy pittbed their camps, and sowed their corn with the same care that tb.e.y formed their armies for battle." And so long as this care and diligence w ere preserved, Rome wa successful in the fields of la bor and if battle. In un Recount of the progress of Ag

ricultnre in England, given in Nicholson's Encyclopedia, il is said: "The pc-iioi cf the introduction of Agriculture into Britain is unknown. Pliny observes that at the time of the Roman invasion the inhabitants were acquainted with certain manures, particularly mar!. During the possession of tlie Island by the Remans meal quantities of grain were exported from it; and it cannot he doubted, as in various other respects, the lade inhabitants dc-iived advantage from their enlightened conquerors; they were emineptly benefitted by their agricultural experience. Amidst the series of cento's and confusion which followed the final a band onment of Britain by the, Romans, the art and practice of husbandry must be presumed to have become retrograde.

should it not oe a leading ohpet with every American to hasten the period when the American hog should be sought for, instead of the Chinese, Russian or English? When the American horse should be valued higher than the Arabian or English? When the American blood of neat stock should be more valuable than the English? When Air.erican hemp shall be rendered superior to imported, and when in addition to the potatoe, Indian corn, cel., our home, our fertile, prolific, ho'iv, America, shall be independent f the world for an abundant supply of, and give to foreign nations, improved species cf th' vegetable and animal kingdoms ; as wc!! as superior specimens of manufactures. Fclloro Citizens, that era has began to dawn. The minor sciences are beginning to be made tributary to the fundamental one. The niyslerie of nature arc beginning to be unfolded to the comprehension cf man. and. that which has been looked upon as a mere drudgery is throwing abroad every ex itcmcnt lo the most minute u,ves:igaion ; and encircling toil with n charm that makes it more pleasing than iikome. Agricultural nurrnils re. not only. :d upon a the'most usetu )ut as tlie me?t interesting and exalt ing of all others. Toe hus.ii andmati is not to be estimated as the mere drudge, but as the patriot and philoseher. Ilis calling is commanding the abors cf the learned, the aid of legisilion, the influence of the pi ess. tin :oiintcP.ance cf the goodp nd receiving the blessings of Heaver.. Through these influences a stem of Agricultural operations is progressing destined to relerlil za woi n out lands. introduce new staples, iaipiove upon our present ones to a degree beyond conception; to sustain and invigorate our manufactories; bring prosperity to everv class of citizens, ex dt e-tir i.a'.i Mi1 character, and ren.hr ar country independent in fact.

Results equal lo this have already been produced in many parts of ihe eastern. middle and some of the western slates and very much through the enterprize, awakened by the inslrumentalii) of Agricultural societies, publications and fairs. " Indiana has now put her shoulder to he wheel. Under a liber;.! law of the legislature, a slate board of agricul ture has been formed, composed of intelligent, and efficient individuals each county is authorized, and invited to form associations. in many tins opportunity has been embraced with a spirit which evinces that our citizens feel in relation to our body politic as did an excellent w riter on this subject, when fie said, 'Agriculture is the heart, the fountain of life, from which the blood proceeds, and to which it re turns. Manufacture is the hands, the instruments of labor, ingenuity, and art, preparing food and raiment. Com mcree is the feet, performing the ne cessary- transportations and changes of place.

An examination of the hislery of Eu rope lor centuries past, win snow me ope (o have taken a part in the ic st of the temporal quarrels of ils scvreigTis, and flial nation? have been convulsed in resisting bis claims to it temporal sovereignty over them. King John of England, was in the I -ih cen tury excommunicated by the pope, and ilis subjects absolved from their allegiance-. It was no uncommon thing in the height of papal power that sovereigns stooped to kiss hi feet, and Emperors held the bridle of his ImrsC. Tlie allegiance of good Roman catholics, to (In: pope arid his power to absolve their allegiance to tlie sovereign, reduced the papal countries of Europe lo be but vassal- of the nope the feudal barons of his holioess. I ask now, have the tenets of the infallible, and immutable holy mother changed? or does this allegiance to the pope and his right of domination remain the same? ,N true Roman catholic will negative the question. Tlie power is. indeed, in a great measure gone, hut the right, if it ever rsi-ded, rc;mains the same, an,: we. have no reason to believe it will ever be surrendered. The control of the Pope over the Romish laity is, indeed powerful, but over Ihe clergy, the leaders of hu force-, it is still stronger. The latter are a body of men dependent on the court of Rome. There they look for honor and advancement for richer and pow er. 1 hey have every Hung to lear fiom the resentment of their master, and every fifing to hope from his favor. Such a class of men as Roman Priests, must be dangerous in the U. Slates.

They are well drilled soldiers under foreign pay. Are they interested il sustaining our free institutions? The principles of those institutions are re

pugnant to the power and pretensions of their Master. Are they held to us by pecuniary interests? What are the pecuniary interests of a Jesuit sworn to poverty ? Do the lender lies of family connexion bind them to the state? "the better' says an able writer on (he laws of nations, "to secure the devotion of the clergy the celibacy of churchmen was invented.'' A priest, a prelate already bound to the sea of Rome by his functions, and his hopes, finds himself cut off from all connexion with his country' by Ihe celibacy he is bound to observe IF; is not connected to the society by a family: his grand interests are all centered in the church: and provided he has the pope's favor he is afraid of nothing, in what country so ever he was born. Rome is his refuge, the center of his adopted country. The religious orders are like a papal militia spread ever the face of tlie earth, Jo support and advance the interests of their monarch. This rovereignty of Ihe pope over the Romish laity, in the Catholic church, but more especially, the direct and immediate control exercised over the clergy is. we believe, one of the most dangerous features of ibis religion, viewed in reference to its spread incur own country. The facility wilh which the orders and wishes of the Pope may be extended, the secrecy of the mode of communication, and the power of the priesthood among an ignorant population, lo enforce their orders, resolves the whole body of papists into an organized corps, which may in time exercise .a control in elections, and a power in legislation, little thought of, by those who shul their eyes to the subject of the spiead cf popery, and cry "peace peace." Vkrialiati Herald. TliK WORLD'S TIES. Oiil how many ties there are lo bind the soul of earth! When the strongest are cut asunder, and the spirit feels itself cast loose from every bond which connects it with mortality, how imperceptibly does one little tendril after another become entwined about it, and draw it back with gentle violence! He who thinks he has but one love is always mistaken. The heart may have one overmastering affection, more povv-r-isu! itiSti a:i the rest, which, like the main root of the tree, is that which supports it, but if that be cut away, it will find a thousand minute fibres still clinging to the soil of hurnanily. An absorbing passion may fill up the soul, and while it lasts, may throw a shada over the obligations, and the infinite multitude of kindness, and tender associations, that bind us lo mankind; but when that fades these arc seen to twinkle iii the firmament of life, as stars shine, after the sun has gone down. Iveu the brute, and (he lillies of the field, that neither toil nor spin, put in their silent claims; and the heart that would have spurned the world, settles quietly down again upon its bosom. HalVs Border Tales. A Faiu Test. To lest the influences of Popery as compared with Protestantism, in a social, civil and political point of view, we ask of all who are in any tolerable degree acquainted with history, w hat, in their opinion, would have been the present condition of this country, had tlie Plymouth Pilgrims been Papist3 instead of Protestant Puritans? A candid and intelligent answer to this question, will include within it all the reasons why, as an American citizen and a Protestant christian, we feel bound, in behalf both of the present and future generations, to oppose by all lawful means, the extension of Popish institutions or Popish influences, over Ibis fair land of freedom, St. Louis Observer.
