Dear Extras : '
The stern Winter King is at last relaxing
his hold on this country, and dolefully beat
ing his retre 't before the advance of the mer
ry Spring, The patt wjinter ha been an un
usually severe one; fur! near two months we
scarcely got a glimpse of the earth, or any
thing else out of doors,' save hills arid fields
covered with ice and enow. O how dreary !
But then winter has its pleasures; and many
' t
bav? been tire social fireside conversations,
the charming sleigh-rides, and the gay revel
ries and parties which have served to beguile
the hours during many of those !o;:u; winter
nights, when the air was chill and frosty
, without but within all was comfort and ;les
,ure, i Wt are tearful though that the intense
cold has rdone us great" harm. Some think
that the wheat crop is seriously damaged,
and it is a certain fact that nearly; if not
jiuite all of the peaches have been frozen in
the bud ; other fruits are not injured. But
Spring is' coining, and .we are all g'ad of it.
Like--caged birds, we are tired of our confine
ment, and long to be free : hence it is.that we
love to. listen to the cawing crow, and the
nightly croaking of the fish-frog, for we eon
siderythem the harbingers of better times

Savoy.
In the extreme northwestern corner
of the kingdom of Sardinia lies the
province of Savoy, by nature a barren
mountainous region of a hundred miles
by sixty, and. containing iibout.a half
million of inhabitants, poorin the ex
treme, though hardy and industrious,
independent in character, and able to
subsist upon a very little. Indeed,
they eke out a subsistence upqn chest
nuts when all other sources of living
fail ; or, packing up a few simple wares
on their backs, scale the Alps and be
come, traveling merchants and pedlers
of the humblest kind, chiefly in Fi ance.
The loftiest peaks of the Alps rise in
their midst, and what little wealth
they haye is brought chiefly by travel
ers, who from the Lake of Geneva are

TIi following -extract from the
peech of Hon. F. M. Bristo-w,' of Ken
tucky, delivered in the Ilotise, before
the election' of 4a speaker, and when
,the excitement was at its highest pitch,
will be perused, with pleasure by. all
Union-loving uien : i! :
"Whilst your party or mine may,

the-.tloniinant party from power hv the
peaceful legitimateexerciseof the rigKt
of suffrage ; and still our institutions
and form of government will ibecon
tinucd ; and even if we should. not or
ganize ut all, such is the beauty and
strength of our system of government
that our rights and privileges will be
guarded and protected by the States
until'the people have time to make an
other selection of Representativeswho
will meet the first Motidjry in Decem
ber, 1 8(5 1 , an d organ i ze read ily , and
make the ' necessary appropriations
to pay our debts with interest from the
time they wer due; That would be
the Thirty-Seventh Congress ; and I
apprehend but few of us would be mem
bers, unless we should be so forthnnte
as to? convince our constituents that it
was not our fault. Let us jdefer this
explanation for the future before the
people, and make our explanations be'
fore that tribunal. "' j '
Much has been said in bur disorjjan
ized condition that I approve in the
a'o'ract, and much that I disapprove.
I hit:s! b; permitted to say, in this
coniit c! ion, that' Kentucky; is deeply
"titei e-ted in the institution which has
been the cause of so much agitation
and kliscussion ; and whilst the people
of the third congressional district,
which I. have the honor to represent,
own more of that property than any
other district in the State, they are
" i'T
eumientJy conservative and law abid
ing, prosperous and happy in their do
mestic relations, determined, yes, reso
lutely deiermined, to protect; 4heir
rights, of person and property!; and
whilst Kentucky has a border of seven
hundred miles on the free States, sep-
i arated only by the Ohio river.land her
0ss in value of slaves annually, as sta-
..1 1
sa
ge, reaches the large sum ot $iuu,
OOO by their, c-cape acro.-s the river,
aided, in many instances, by the fa
natical and lawless Abolitionists ; and
whilst, in some instances, our domes
tic peace has been threatened and in
terrupted by the vile ingrates who
have been the recipients of our kind
ness and hospitality, we have as yet
never looked to- a dissolution of this
Union as a remedy for these evils.
We still believe that' on our border,
thus exposed, a large majority of our
neighbors are our friends, opposed to
interfering with our rights,' and ready
to assist us in repelling aggressions ;
and that a faithful execution of the
laws of our State, following the exam-
j pie of the Old Dominion, hanging by
the neek till they are dead, is a more
effective remedy and better calcula
1 ted to secure and protect our rights,
than secession, dissolution, or angry
and threatening debate. Indeed, our
position, as well as the position of our
northern neighbors, forbids that they
or. we should' favor dissolution. We
are not willing to become the battle-
-
ground of this nation. ,,) Our motto,
"United we stand, ! divided we fall,"
forbids r it Our Legislature, but a
few years since, inscribed upon the
stone sent by Kentucky to compose a
part of the monument erected in mem
ory of Washington, in. large letters:
"By the blessing of (Sod, and under
the precepts pf Washington, Kentucky
will be the last State. to go out of the
union. ; . f' i
Whilst, as our fathers did, we re
cognize the right.of revolution when
despotism becomes. absolute, we still
look upon dissolution as a remedy for
none of our evils, but calamitous in all
its consequences.- -. , - .
Such I apprehend, is now the senti-
rnent of Kentucky After- summing
