curse of aristocracy, from a State church,’
and from the enormous pressure of Tax*,
ation, is adduced as an argument in fa-
vor of democracy. To put a stop to this
state of things, Lord Derby and his col-’
leagues would not hesitate to pick a quar-
rel with the United States, so tbst in the
blaze of angry passions that would heri-
tably ensue on both sides of the Atlantic,
the people here might be made to retro-
grade in political ideas, while the citizens
of the Union could hardly fail to acquire
deep-rooted and stubborn prejudices a-
gainst us. We knew of no language suf-
ficiently strong to characterize the atroc-
ity of such an enterprise. No friend of
Industry, no honest man, no Christian,
can ever desire to involve Great Britain
in a war with the kindred States of North
America.
The Earthquake at Santiago De Cu-
ba.—A letter from Santiago de Cuba,
speaking of the late earthquake there,
says:
“The prison is so much injnred that
the prisoners were removed; the hospital
is fallen in ruins; the sick were removed
to tbs Zinglado, which has bten boarded
in.. The Customhouse, Contaduria, Tri-
bunal of Commerce, Cathedral and the
Church of Francisco, are in ruins. Ths
large hotel will have to be razed to the
ground, and all the churches are very
much injured; indeed, nearly all of the
houses are tumbling down.’*
We have received private information
from Yucatan, stating that a movement is
on foot m that State to apply to the Uni-
ted States for protection and annex^ion.

harvesting; variableness of climate; the
necessity of rotation of crops or change
on the same fields; and the eradication
of weeds, &c., See. , j
Some fields may bring remunerative
• crops of one plant; yet leave a deficiency
from the cultivation of another; and obt
only are particular, soils adapted to one
species of vegetation, but so, also, are
particular manures, some of which are
much more convenient or economical for
one locality than another. -
So, too, of planting and cultivating.—
When one species of seeds are put in tbe
ground, and the farmer is wailing to till
them, it may be just the time to sow oth-
ers. • When they have sprouted and
quire to be looked after, one
attention at one moment, one at another;
while a third, as ef the small grains, and
clover, require no subsequent attention,
^xcept harvesting. A season that is very
cold and wet, may be beneficial to one
crop, as of gnss, and some of the grains,
while sueb as are hot and comparatively
dry, are better for others, as Indian and
broom corn, and various other products
and fruits. The multiplicity of crops in
tbe ground at the same time, is thus
equivalent to an insurance on tbe weather;
in which tbe proprietor gives up a very
large possible yield for one crop, while
he secures a fair return for bis general
labor.
Again, various species of animals re-
quire different food, and each requires a
varietyU-sometiraes hay straw, at others,
grain, meal, or roots. Occasionally, too,
tbe market may be high for particular
products, of which the farmer may have
good store, and may sell to much better
advantage than to feed to bis stock, a pur-
pose for which, perhaps, it was originally
designed.
Various crops may require differeot
kinds of labor. Tbe old and young, and
females, too, may frequently be as advan-
tageously employed by one Occupation,
as in the dairy, or garden, or poultry
yard; as the hardy and strong, by others,
in the field. Some may require more or
less assistance from tbe horse or ox, while
others are adapted solely Io manual labor;
and certain articles, as flax aud wool,
