gentlemen in Congress have shown off in a most mas- 

 terly and honorable style. Thej have told each other 

 in debate they lied. They have put their fist.= in each 

 other's faces ; and have aimed spit-boxes at each otiier's 

 heads. With so much virulent matter on their stom- 

 achs it is to be regretted that they should not keep these 

 boxes for their legitimate uses, and let these feculent 

 concoctions work thenjselves off by the natural way. 

 If this is likely to continue to be the course of things at 

 Washington, we should respec'.tfully advise an imme- 

 diate adjournment to the new Hall erected at Five 

 Points in New York. It is on a magnificent style of ar- 

 chilure. This is not, however, what we were thinking 

 of The atmosphere of the location must be most con- 

 genial to such bloods The congressional language used 

 on these occasions is there the vernacular tongue. The 

 established rules of sucli lionorable squabbles are there 

 perfectly understood ; and a ring of professional ama- 

 teurs can be got up at any time, who will see that "fair 

 play is a jewel, my honey." 



THERMO.VIETRICAL. 



Reporlejl for the New Enyl.Tnd Farnior. 

 Range. if the riiprm,iineterat the fiardeiiof tiic proprietors 

 of the iVew England Knrnier, Brighton, Mass. in a shaded 

 Moi therly exposnre, week ending June 10. 



The removal of the Cherokees has begun under the 

 bayonelsof the United States troops. By a treaty spot- 

 ted all over with fraud and treachery, these abused and 

 helpless Indians are to be driven from their peaceful 

 cabins; from fields, which we good Christians have 

 been trying to teach them to cultivate; and from their 

 fathers' sepulchn-s, that the plough of the white man 

 may mark his title upon them. Humanity sickens at 

 the outrage, and her heart beats with agony as though 

 it would burst its casemcnls. The general government 

 proposes in the Inst resort conditions of mercy and ami- 

 cable adjustment. The State of Georgia, more savao-e 

 than the aboriginees, defies the general government and 

 disdains all propositions fur mercy. These wretched 

 peoph; then must go. It would seem as though no 

 earthly power could avert their melancholy fate ; and 

 a page of our natural history, as black as ever disgraced 

 the annals of mankind, must then remain to exhibit the 

 horrid and bloody triumphs of a treachery never sur- 

 passed; an avarice utterly insatiable; and an inhuman 

 abuse of power unrivalled in its ferocity by the canni- 

 bals of New Zealand. 



Will the vengeance of heaven always sleep over the 

 wrongs of the whites towards the colored races ? What 

 in God's name, they may well ask us, is this thin", 

 which you call Chiistianity ? How will Jessup meet 

 Osceola at the tribunal, where there is no respect of 

 persons ; from which there can be no appeal ; and where 

 the spangled epaulette, the waving plume, and the glit. 

 tering sword, spotted with the blood of innocence and 

 helplessuess,so far from claiming favor, will themselves 

 demand, trumpet-tongued, the terrible retributions of 

 treachery and the inhuman abuse of power.

REVOLVING HORSE RAKE. 

 The Revolving Rake, which has been in general use in most 

 parts of Pennsylvania and New Jersey, is found to be one of 

 the most useful and labor saving machines now in use. One 

 man and horse will rake on an average, from fifteen to twenty 

 acres per day, with ease, and do the work well, it not being 

 necessary to slop the horse to unload. They are coming into 

 very general use in all parts of the country, and will, no 

 doubt, in a few years, supercede the use of the common hand 

 rake. For sale at the New England Agriridiiual Warehouse 

 and Seed Store. JOSEPH BRECK & CO.
