! more barley can be cheaply grown on an acie of

to feed the plantation stock, and negroes would
relish wheaten bread as a change; for the corn
bread usually allowed to them.
W e would, from these few reasons stated, and
many more needless to mention, recommend the
reduction of the com crop to such a degree as
would throw all lands not naturally producing In

from the central government, and liable contin
ually to the exactions of Pachas, or the indifference
of Governors, it offers no sufficient inducements
for capital to settle there, or industry to remain.
It is consequently in a state of progressive decay,
agriculture is neglected, trade finds little to support
it, and ignorance, superstition and vice domineer
over the land. From the farthest shores of
Nazareth to the Southern waters of the Dead Sea,
a curse seems to hang over the country, blighting
it like a pestilence, or a flight of Egyptian locusts.
There was a time, however, when Palestine was
the most flourishing region, perhaps, on the face
of the glohe. Its vallies were filled with the low
of cattle its terraced hil 1-sides glowed with golden
erops; the vine dotted the landscape with purple
grapes; and an almost continuous line of villages
crowned the acclivities, in sight of each other,
from ihe desert of Idutnea on the south to Mount
Libanus on the north. There is reason to believe
that at the beginning of the Christian era, the

At an early hour in the evening the report of the
intended serenade was rumored about the city,
and at 1 1 o'clock a large company of citizens were
gathered in front of the hotel, waiting to see the
Senator. A little after midnight, Dodworth's brass
band, numbering thirty pieces, arrived upon the
ground under the escort of the Union Club, and
opened with " Hail Columbia," played in admira
ble style. Following this was played the 41 Over

and at the close of each performance, the cheering
and calls for " Douglas," " Douglas," were voci

say, that although they opposed il at first, lhat they

the best hot bed for potatoes I have ever used.

Crusaders, rise amid the ruins of old Roman works,
while modern Turkish fortresses lift themselves
above the blackened walls of Roman castles. The
nxe and fire have gone over this unco fair region
in repeated surges of blood and conflagration.
Centuries of war and oppression have exhausted
the spirit of the people, have destroyed the old im
provements, have turned what was once a contin
uous garden and vineyard into a comparative
desert. No man can remember what Palestine
once was, and recall what it is nt present, without
wishing that equal laws and liberal institutions
might restore it to its former splendor.
The creation of a Jewish kingdom promises the
speediest method of arriving at this. Thero are
millions of Hebrews scattered over Europe, who
would avail themselves of such a restoration, to
return to the land of their fathers. Poland and
Kussia, especially, swarm with them. The op
pression under which they suffer wherever the
Czar holds sway, would be an additional induce
ment for them to emigrate to Palestine. A Jew
in Russia cannot wear a beard as he wishes, can
not appear in certain garments, cannot import
even the Hebrew Scriptures, cannot enjoy the
common rights of a citizen. When we consider
the adventurous character of the race, and recall
the great Jewish exodus which is even now going
on, we cannat see any difficulty in the way of a
Jewish emigration, such as would repopulate
Palestine in a very few years.
There are difficulties in the way, however, and j
serious ones. A small kingdom, like Palestine
proper would be, would hardly sustain itself axrainsl

remind you that the great feature of the Nebraska
bill is simply the admission of the right of the people
of a Territory to decide for themselves what kind
of laws and institutions they will live under. If
that principle is wise in New York, is it not jusl
as wise in Nebraska?
A Voice No, sir.
Mr. D. If it be rieht and nroner in Illinois
why should it not be extended to Kansas? (Cheers ) ' c,jd
xne rigni oi me people to govern themselves, and
to determine the character of their local mstilu
lions, according to their own judgment, and the
dictates of I heir own conciences, is the great prin
ciple or which our fathers fought. (Renewed
cheers) The issue then was, whether a British
Parliament should be allowed to regulate and in
terfere with our local affairs in the colonies ; and
because lhat principle was violated our revolution
ary fathers separated from the tyranny thai threat-
eneu in oppress them, .bhall we now permit that !
principle to the successful vindication of which we
owe our liberalities the principle that stands at j
the foundation ol the Nebraska bill, against which I
all this excitement has been raised, and in support
ui which i pui lorm ail my energy shall we per
permit this principle tn he violated? (Applause)
This is the issue upon which I intend to stand be
fore the American people, and and lo meet either
their approval or disapproval. ( Renewed applause.)
When this principle shall be carried into eflTecl you
will hear of no further excitement upon the ques
tion of slavery. Once in New York you had

A Yoice. What about the Missouri compro

way asking about the Missouri compromise. Now,
J have been accustomed to this kind of tactics be
fore. When I was iu the Senate explaining the
principles of the Nebraska bill, and when its ene-
mies lound themselves unable lo answer me, they
raised the cry of -Missouri compromise," which
was nothing more than a restriction upon the riht
ot the people to govern themsi Ives. The Nraa
apart, was found to be so constructed that by
touching a spring the boltom of every box painted
red would be made to rise, presenting a smoolh
surface and leaving the ball no alternative but to
drop into the black. Should the heaviest belting
be upon the black, the screw might be pressed u
little harder, whereupon ihe bottoms of ail the
black boxes would come up and the ball must go
into the red. Moving wi,h the smoothness ol clock
work, the machinery could never fail. Wiih it a

Professor Larraboe visited Portland, Maine, fie
had been strolling in the nemhiinrhnnrl and
out until nightfall, which found him a mile or two
from his oiarters. He started homeward, and
soon came to an inlet for the lide water, spanned
by a railroad bridge, nearly half a mile in length.
Ho got about one-third of the way across, and
heard the scream of the steam whistle ; on looking
back, he saw the lightning train coming on at the
rate ol forty miles an hour. To get back was im
possible; lo outrun it was equally impossible; to
stand by the sid., of ihe track on lhat narrow
bridge, with a considerable specimen of ihe deep
blue sea beneath, was not expedient. What should
lie do? One thinks very fast under such circum.
stances. On came the train louder shrieked ihe
whistle, the bridge was gained, and the Professor
was on it. Al this moment his eye caught girht
of ihe telegraph pole standing beside the bridge.
He ran Ic ut caught hold ol .t, and cooned up in
very undignified haste while the screaming ,
snorting, galloping train dashed by. As sxm as
the nervous excitement calmed down, he descended
and walked slowly homeward.
