BY GREELEY & McELRATIExisting Noralitie*.

To the Editor of The Tribune.A short time ago I saw in tbe New-York Obser¬

ver an article (.-obtaining a tirade against Club Hou¬

se.", find Indulging also i:i an unjust attack u;>outhose who advocate a Social Reform upon the prin¬ciple of universal Association. You copied the lat¬

ter with an appropriate reply- I wished at thetime to answer the writer in the Observer in a dif¬

ferent manner, but thinking the subject to be one ofthat delicate nature which scarcely admits of beingtreated iu a public paper. I omitted to do it. Onreflection, however, J thiuk 1 was wrong to deferto this reason the Press teems with monstrositiesol all kinds, growing out of the mine and disorderedrelations of tbe sexes; seductions, rapes, Ac, trialsof Cos'.eilo. with all the disgTtsdng details of her

profession, are daily paraded before the whole com

munity. old and young, male and female, so that thepublic must have become quite well acquainted withthe secrets of Licentiousness. It is nut my purposeto magnify this terrible picture of depravity, but 1wish lo speak of some facts, indicating the presentstate of tbo virtue and morality of Society, and in¬

vite the zealous defenders of good morals in theObserver und elsewhere, to attack those false In¬stitutions and Arrangements in the present sys-tern of Society which produce the dreadful social

. ils, instead of Q.uixoiically attacking bugbears indoctrinslof their own creating, which have no foandation in fact or principle.

Let us look at the state of things around us.inour own City ot New-York.and if we lind ihat at

least three fourths of the relations of ihe sexes Ere

venal, licentious and adulterous, may wc not weilcom Inde that some relorras are urgently needed,even in our very perfect social Organization, so

considered by the Observer and other defenders ofthings as they are. New-York, no doubt, is far lessdissolute than most of the Capital cities of theworld, and its moral condition will oli'er us a fairestimate of the fruits of the present social Order,called Civilization.There are in New-York ii is 6aid, ten thousand

prostitutes this is the result of a careful estimateuy one of ils Aldermen. It appears to us, however,too high, that is, if wc include those only who are

engaged regularly in this course of life as a meansof subsistence, llut if we deduct twenty-live percent, for our estimate, the astounding fact stares us

iu the face that there are in one city in our Christianland, about us many prostitutes as there are soldiersin the United States' Army, ami this great army ofprostitutes has lo be recruited anew every eightyears. (A portion in six, a portion In ten, tiie ave¬rage eight.)What is ihe source of Prostitution in Society?.

This is a most important question, which snould becarefully studied, if any euro is desired lor the greatSocial ulcer. The Observer will probably solve itatonce by saying iliut it has its source in the depravityof human nature. Now allowing human nature tobe depraved, we have two objections to raise againstthis solution of the moral teachers of Society.

1st. It has been clearly proved by careful and ex¬

tensive researches on the part of some French Phy¬sicians that nincteen-tweniieths of prostitutes are

so, not from licentious propensities, but from povertyand other circumstances which force them againsttheir will to resort to this mode of lifo, and that inall cases where they obtain by accident a competen¬cy, they withdraw from it. It is not passion thatdraws them into it, lor passion is not satisfied there¬by, but terribly violated.

üd. This depravity of human nature includes ofnecessity all of Mankind. Now we lind a largenumber of women virtuous; they can withstand,and do withstand this corruption of moral purity;if this be so, why is a part drawn into it.' Evi¬dently there are external causes, besides the intcr-

pravity, which are in operation.What then are the causes of prostitution ? There

ure several, having their sources in false arrange¬ments of society; but we will mention merely twoul present.

1st. The vant of Occupations which are adapt¬ed to ihe nature of woman.to her strength anddelicacy, which arc justly rewarded, and will se¬

cure a decent livelihood. In the present system ofsociety, man has monopolized almost all branchesof Industry, except those of the needle and tbekitchen. These branches are so overstocked thatthere is no room for thousands of applicants, and itis a positive fact that at times starvation is pressingupon hundreds of young women in our city, andthat in this Christian Capital, with its two hundredchurches, our sisters in humanity are forced fromab.solute want of the necessaries of life into prosti¬tution.

Again, the occupation of Sewing, conducted as iiis, is most deleterious to ihe health, and many con¬

stitutions cannoi bear up against the sedentary andincessant application which is required of those en¬

gaged in it. On ihe other hand, kitchen work isdeemed dishonorable; young women who havebeen brought up with any sentiments of pride andrespectability, will not submit to its servile und de¬meaning conditions. Thus loss of health on one sideand self respect and ambition on the other, drivemany from iheee few occupations which are open10 ihcm.and force them.not with a power perfectlyirresistible, it is true, but far stronger than should be[/laced in iho way of mortals, and which wouldovercome, we think, a majority of these malepreachers of morality.to listen to proposals whichoffer some relief for suffering, by a sacrifice, thenature and extent of which is not at first seen andunderstood.

If the .Moralistsof the Observer, and others, wereanimated by a strong and sincere desire to doaway with vice and immorality, the earnestnessof the feeling would soon produce clearness of in¬tellect Bulticient to enable them to discover tbecauses of ihem and this knowledge would directtbem rightly in laboring for their removal. Theclass of evils we arc- here speaking ol", requires firstof nil. an Industrial Reform, and a good Organ¬ization of Labor, which will secure to ALL an

honorable and %fairly remunerated employment.and thus place all above waut und ihe temptationsof Poverty.

2d. The second cause is the non-guaranty of Wo¬man's Rights.Right pfproperty, Right to her chil¬dren, litghi to some means ol honorable divorcewhen ill-treated by men .- and other Rights, thedenial of which, together with the want ot' propersystems in Industry, render her a poor, weak, anddefenceless being, u creature subject to the will undcaprice ot ihe male sex, who is degraded, discardedand banished from Society, for the very same actsthick c'ttai! no odium or disgrace upon man.Let moralists, who are so loud in declaiming

against ejects, go to the rootjof the matter, and de¬nounce causes, and we will listen to them and havesome faith in their declamations; but this is the lastthine they will do.W e have spoken of Prostitution ns one evidence

of the materialism and brutality that reign in presentsociety in the relations of the sexes. If there are

seven or eight thousand prostitutes tu the City, theremust be at least five times as many men.residentsand strangers.who visit them. This covers over

quite a broad held of the relutions we are speakingof, and 1 think that we may safely calculate thatone quarter ofthose relations in our large towns andcities exist tinder conditions of absolute prostitution,under this head.The second evidence of the fact we wish to es¬

tablish (namely of the impurity of the present re¬

lations of the sexes) to Le found in the Venal Marrtages, Which tiro SO common.marriages for moneyor other considerations of interest, or to gratify sen¬

sual desire, without spiritual Love. They are to

numerous that we may safely calculate one-third atleast com; under this head; in Europe among; allthe higher and wealthier classes, four-fifths. Thesemarriages are adulterous they arc iu fact a kind oflegalized prostitution, a wholesale disposal of thebody without the sou! for life, for material consider¬ations, instead of the temporary sale of the same forsimiiar considerations. The law of Christian mo¬

rality is this: .Yo Lore, no Marriage.- no union ofbodies without union of soul this is the law ofGod, and should be the law of Humanity uponearth but men are material and mercenary in [heirpractical and business operations, in commerce, inindustry, in politics, and other spheres, and hence itis not surprising that the same principles shouldhave been introduced into the relations of the sexes.

Iu the sight of Ood. tbe only true marriage, is thespiritual marriage of the soul. Matter is entirely.subordinate to spirit, and is susceptible of harmonyand elevation so far only as it is brought underthe control of spirit. The union of the bodies,which represents the material principle, can neverbe saered, unless it is made subordinate to and issanctified by the spiritual union of the souls. If twopersons, then, unite in marriage from mere materialconsiderations..unite the bodies without the spiritu¬al union of the souls.and obtain the permission andsauctieu of the priest to do so. it is not ihe iess adul¬tery iu the sight of God. His Laws are reversedin the present Social Order if is the union of thebodies vktch constitutes marriage before the laicand public opinion. As a poool of it. the husbandand wife may live iti a state of discord and of moralloathing, in opeu antagonism and dissension, and yetthey are considered married, and the sexual rela¬tions between them are not deemed vicious, de¬praved or odious. We are well aware that thingscannot be changed under existing social institutionsand arrangements, when- Woman is not secored, first,an honorable livelihood by herown industry, and sec

I.

oad, hfr natural rights. A state of things must bej brought about in which provision will be made lor

extending to V/nman the power and the means ofj providing herself, by congenial occupations, withthe comforts and ail the ennobling conditions of life.There must be pecuniary independence or freedomof the body, before the Soui can possess its true Iliberty.The third evide ce of the immorality existinc in

the relations under consideration, is the secret illicitintercourse which takes place between persons not

married, and the violations of the marriage vow. If |a true and unvarnished statement were made ofthings as they arc. astounding indeed would be therevelation. However, as long as things are keptquiet our moralists appear to to satisfied ; and wewill not disturb too much their composure, but mere

ly mention that probably one-quarter more of the re¬

lations of love of the sex»:.-* come under the two lastconditions, that 19, are illicit and adulterous.There is one more of the abominationst of Civili¬

zed Society which we have not referred to, aiidwhich is so wi,!o spread and so deleterious in itsconsequences both to body and mind, that we maysafely class it with the most impure of present rela¬tions, and at the same time it is more general thanany one of them. Physiologists say that the vice to

which we allude extends to more than one-half ofboth -exes at certain ages. We will pass it over insilence.We would ask ail candid men. who are willing

to look at Truth aur! be guided by it. to examine thissubject, and say whether three fourths of the ' mis-culledj relations of Lore in the present order ofthings do not take place under conditions.1st oi

Prostitution: 3d, of venal or discordant Marriages;and 3d, of illicit intercourse among the unmarriedand the married.Now if this ho admitted, we call upon the moral-

is:* of the Observer, and those also of the Courierand Enquirer, who have done eood battle in thecause of morality against the licentious tendencies ot

certain abstract principles, which have never beentried in practice, to come out and denounce the evilswhich thru find around them in present Society,and not only denounce them, but proceed courage¬ously and consistently to advocate suck reform a>

fill destroy them. Let them not endeavor to escapeperforming the duty, which tacitly they have imposedupon themselves, by declaiming against evils of thesame nature, which they pretend will be the resultof a different system j but let them attack the evilsthat actually exist under theirown system of society.If they do not do this after all their pretensions to

morality, they merit to be set down as mere wordydeclaimera and dealers in cant. Sincere men, we

believe, will ratify this sentence. SCRUTATOR.\/lf' We give place to tho foregoing as it reached

us, deeming the subject it discusses is most import¬ant and the suggestions here given in the main judi¬cious. Wc dissent altogether, however, from the

idea of permitting Divorces for any other canse thanthat recognized as sufficient by the Messiah. Thereare doubtless many cases in which greater liberty ofDivorce might be productive of individual relieffrom unmerited suffering but Human laws cannot

wisely conform to the exigencies of individuals butmust hold fast to sound general principles.thosewhich, in their widest application, are most benefi¬cent. To allow full Divorces for such causes aa un-

congeniality of temper, ill treatment, kc. Ate. wouldin our judgment create infinitely more evils than itwould remedy, by multiplying reckless and falseunions. The villaiu seducer would readily marryhis intended victim, knowing that he could speed:!ycompel her by brutality to obtain a divorce, and thusrelease him to seek another prey. Depend on it.lust and depravity would then seek the shelter ofMarriage far more extensively thnti they now do..And. though it be true that a marriage between un¬

congenial parties is in the eye of Heaven impure, itis very certain that this is by no means so injuriousto the community, either as an example or a prece¬dent, as an illicit connection, though the latter bebased on intense passion. We deeply need a greatReform which shall provide against unfit Marriages,by removing (as our correspondent urges) the tempt¬ations thereto, and by placing the parties beforeMarriage in such relations that they may not be de¬ceived or disappointed in each other. Marriage is a

bond which Death only should dissolve: how vital,then, tbo necessity for guarding ngainst deceit or im

proper inducement in contracting it! [Ed. Trib-

IMati-imoninl Exchanges.To the Editor of The Tribune :

Mr. Fowler's remarks upon Marriage have sug¬gested to me ihBt it wuuld be we!! lor him. or some o:h.or practical 1'brenologist or I'hyslofogist. to establish a

Matrimonial Etehangc. where persons of both sexes

might present themselves as candidates for man iage..After having their characters and physical constitutionsascertained.let those applicants who are naturally fittedfor companions be introduced, the character and consti¬tution of each being made known to the other. If, aftersuch an airnngement, the people of this city do not mar¬

ry in accordance with the natural laws which governsuch matters, It will be their own fault H.

We are not familiar with the matter of whichour correspondent treats above, and cannot say how

likely marrying people are to be governed by such

coldly rational considerations in making their choice

respectively of partners for life. Our impression is.however, that so business like a mode of discover¬

ing 'kindred hearts' would not flourish.that itwould be apt rather to lessen the number of Mar¬

riages than improve their fitness. If'H'can cy¬pher out a ' Matrimonial Exchange' wherein the

unsuitably married would be allowed to ' try again'by mutual compact to tind those more naturallylined for [their] companions.' we rather think thiswould be more popular and profitable to the mana¬

ger than that he proposes. Ed.

Some Stntutes, dfce.To the Editor of The TribuneYour paper recently told us how they get round

tbe " personal liability" clause in New Hampshire. Wealso do such things here. Several years ago the legisla¬ture exempted from distress for rent $150 worth oi fur¬niture in addition to what had been exempted before;but the " improved form" of landlords' and tenants'agreements makes it a part of the contract that this fur¬niture shsll be subject to distress.As to "personal liability" in manufacturing corpora¬

tions, the folly of insisting upon it, made clear enough byyour paper, is only equaled by that of letting the SpecialPartnership law remain as it is. That law Is directlycontrary to the principle assumed, and fifrbrds the meansof evading the new legislative impedimentTbe new act about public printing makes some dirS-

culty from a want of care in framing it. The State pa¬per is abolished and a contract is to be made tor thepublication of legal notices, some time being requiredfer receiving bids, making contract, dec. Now there is alaw uuder which non-resident defendants In chanceryroaybc r-.ached by publication of an order in the Stale pa¬per, to be made within twenty days ufter the order is

granted and as the new act makes provision only fortue continuance of publications already begun, and fororders already made, ail new orders obtained after thep LSIago of the act (March 5th) must be kept back untiltl-$ projected contract it made and no order must bemore than twenty Ua>s old wnen that is done.

Something Stka.m.e..The Chronotype informsus that at one of Mr. Sunderlaad's lectures on Pathetisma few days ago in Boston, a woman went to the platformin the magnetic state, and, after standing awhile with herb&ck to the audieace. took her seat and called for thelecturer. After whispering with her. he informed theaudience that she told him there was a man in the hcusew ho had been guilty of a horrible crime. She afterwardrose and told the audience, in a distinct voice, that it wasin South Carolina, nine jears ago the tenth of Septem¬ber, that a mac named Daniei Ciark disappeared, andwas never sees afterward. The murderer was In thebouse. This created some sensatior. and calls of' nemt.

name,'1 point him out,' which were to: answered.The Chronotype also testifies as follows" A woman was brought upon the stage in a waking

condition. s.s we understood, and the large woman whowas cisturbed by tbe murderer, commenced manipu¬lating te put her to sleep. She persevered most intentlyfor moie ihau half an hour. A Committee was men ap¬pointed to witness the extraction of a tooth. It con¬

sisted of Mr. Hawkins, the Temperance lecturer, andMr. Clapp. They examined the mouth and pronouncedthe tootn a real one. firm in the head. It was drawn byDr. Ball, with forceps, the patient herself holding thelight and not evincing the slightest consciousness orsense oi pain. The tooth, which was tbe second molarin the upper jaw, was passed round the audience. TheCommittee aeciared that they detected in the patient notthe slightest emotion. When she had been partially re¬called to consciousness, she declared she was ready tohave the tooth pulled. We took the tooth In our hands,and know that it was no humbug."

It is my candid opinion that, taking the whole ofthe cases treated in any given period of time by tbeadministration of Aliopathic drugs, (including Chro-no-ThermaJism with its Nitrate of Silver whichturns a patient black, end Quinine Wbich makeshim crazy.; more injury than benefit is conferredupon the sick by the doctors. This both D.-. Turnerand Dr. Forbes seem determined to prove, and thiscould easily be established beyond reasonable ques¬tion if all the facts that already exist wore accessiblefor the purpose. So utterly illusory and fallacious are

the meaningless remedial measures taught by the oldschool of Medicine that it is only the rash and head¬

strong enthusiast, panoplied by his fresh diploma,who ventures very freely to use them. A few yearsof experience and common sense make him dis¬mayed at the impotence of the art he has spent so

much time in acquiring, and he never orders one ofthose ineriabic compounds called Prescriptions with¬out an involuntary shudder at the probable conse¬

quences of his reckless assault upon human life..Both conscience and humanity unite in inducinghim to spare, as far as possible, that is. as far as

consistent with professional etiquette.') tbe healthsand constitutions of his unfortunate patients andthus the consumption of bread pills, sarsapariilatinctures and other harmless but formidabie-lookingboluses, in any ' regular' physician's practice is in

corresponding ratio to the development of his or¬

gans of conscientiousness and benevolence. Butit is a poor spirited revenge to take upon Homri'o-

pathy to attempt to account for its brilliant and un¬

paralleled success.its astonishing increase of popu¬larity.by saying that it is simply the absence ofmedi¬cine. Yet we find the old school physicians reducedto the humiliating necessity of admitting that all theirtwo thousand years of experience'.all their moun¬

tains of experiments and facts.all their collegesand publications, their lectures, theircliniques, their

hospitals.are absolutely nothing and worse than

nothing ; and that Homtropathy effects its aston¬

ishing cures merely because it gives no medicineat all!But to leave all this, and come to what I more es¬

pecially claim space lor.a brief explanation of thereal Theory of Homoeopathy.of which both thewriters in question appear to be ignorant. I am

well aware that at the first look it appears utterlypreposterous to attempt to cure a serious disease byadministering ihe millionth or biilionth or decillionthof a grain of medicine. But I hope a few plainwords will serve to ciear away this difficulty.The most prevailing error'which Homeopathy

has to combat is the idea that medicines must, inorder to cure disease, act appreciatively or mechan¬

ically upon the system. For instance, a man has a

lever with constipation ofthe bowels: the doctor

gives him a heavy dose of calomel to 'clear out thebowels,' unlock the liver,' Ac. Ac.thus produc¬ing a direct mechanical action upon the system bythe medicine administered. This doctrine, in all itsramifications and under every aspect, Honiotopathydenies. It holds that one disease in the system at a

time is enough. Its theory of cure, then, is this :

Inductive reasoning lends us necessarily to the admis¬sion of two orders of creative forces, one of which mayhe designated by tbe term harmonic, tho other by theterra subversive. The harmonic forces, by their actionupou matter, produce those substances, animals, plants,and minerals, which are r.rce?sary to the developmentof the harmonious or healthy orgnnism ; tbe subversiveforces, on the contrary, are those forres which producetbe substances adapted to the organism in disturbance,and destined to restore it to its original conditions ofhealth. Both those forces, by their action upon matter,embody themselves iu visible forms, each form repre¬senting or typifying a peculiar variety of those forcesThe types or results which those forces create by theiraction upon mutter ere united to those forces by thatsame indivisible bond which unites the etfect to its cause.

It is evident that the animal organism is not tbe type or

natural order of existence of those subversive forces .Hence there is no bund of union between these forcesand tbe organism, and it must be possible to separatethem. As the invasion of tbe organism by those lorcesand their attempts at adapting the organism to tbeuiselve- constitute disease, so does the separation ol thoseforces from the organism constitute the cure of that dis¬ease. The question then is. hew are those forces to beseparated liom the organism ?The answer to this questiou is perfectly simple and

self-evident. We introduce into the organism the natu¬

ral types or forms ol existence of that variety of subver¬sive forces which has invaded tbe organism. Thesetypes being united to the forces by that indivisible bondwhich I have shown to exist between etfects and theircauses, the disease will, of its own accord, and withreadiness, leave the orgauism which is not its naturalproduct or type, aud embody itselt iu its natural typewhich is the medicinal substance. How this embodyingtak'-s place is to be shown by the gnnher progress ofscience. It is probable that the typical substance arts

upon the subversive force with a power of attractionTne subversive force rlows into or converges in tho me¬dicinal substance which is its type. In the same way dotbo sun's rays converge In the focus of a burning-glass,does the magnetic sphere ot this globe converge in thepoint ol a needie and its attractive force act upon tbesmallest molecule. In order to hud out what medicinalsubstance is typical of any given variety of the subver¬sive forces, we must in the hrst place try to discover thesymptoms of tbe diseases which are embodied in thevarious medicinal substances. For this purpose we trythem upon the healthy organism. The symptoms whichare thus evoked in the organism are indications of theeffects which a certain order of subversive forces is ca-

puble of producing in the organism. To the medicinalsubstances producing those sy mptoms, this certain or¬

der of subversive lorces is therefore related as causes

are to their effects, and as soon >ia they are brought ir,contact with each other, they become indissoiubly uni¬ted, the disease becomes a mere material point, and isseparated Irom the organism in p-rfect freedom, andwhat is essential, in perfect order.'

' C. J. Hempe.'s pre'uee to Hahsemann's Chronic Dis¬eases.'

This theory thus perspicuously set forth by one

of the most enthusiastic and philosophical of theadvocates of Homeopathy, seems tö me to be pe¬culiarly deserving of our attention, as being in ilseifone of the most beautiful, symmetrical and logicaltheories ever developed upon any subject- The

capable intellect eannct fail to become deeply im¬

pressed with the rraisemblance, the extreme proba¬bility, of this theory, as its proportions one by one

become clear to the mental vision and at length theWhole stands out in its haraonious proportions..For the soul of man instinctively perceives that

perfect harmony, symmetry and beauty are the in-faiiibie evidences of Truth. There is an attraction,a magnetism in them, more potent over the willthan the most adroit syllogisms or mountains of col¬lateral testimony.Now if this theory be correct, that the medicine

acts magnetically, attracting the disease to itself,so soon as it is introduced into tbe system, what dif¬ference can it make as to the quantity ?.only thatthe less the better, and that in no case should we

administer enough of it to act mechanically uponand poiron the system it is intended to cure. The

point of a cambric needle might serve to attract a

thousand cubic feet of electricity, which would passby substances of no matter what magnitude if theydid not possess the inherent power of attracting itSo with Homoeopathic medicine. Tbe instant thatthe rishi kind of medicine.iheTrue t\ pe of thedisease.has been introduced into the system, thedisease is attracted to i: and will ail pass or! throughit. even though the disease were as powerful as

life and the remedy so minute that the finest fingersof mathematics cannot take it up nor the mind con-

ciive of its existence. This is what we believe.this is what practiced Horace opatby is every dayestablishing.But I am far'from admitting that a theory, how-

ever plausible er beautiful :: may appear, should beaccepted in so practicabie and vital an interest as

human health without being sustained by unques-rioaabie and unvarying experimental evidence. |which it is the imperative duty of every medicaipractitioner carefully to obtain and impartially to

iay before the profession and the world. In thismatter the physician ought to feel that his personalhonor is pledged for the strict accuracy, not only infact but tendency, of every case he records. It isonly thus the: experience can be made of service to

the cause of medical science, or that the pa»t mayimpart a lesson to the present. And those who be-

re they s-'e in EonicEopatby the only true theory.the only efficient practice of medicine, dare no: fortheir own lives thus believe any farther than theyare borne out by the actual results which eithercome under their own observation or are commend¬ed to them by authority which it would be absurd to

question. Here is the great field for the triumph ofHomeopathy. Its witnesses and its trophies are

thousands of living human beings rescued from thegrave whither they were swiftly tending under theunited force of disease and poisonous drugs, and re-

stored to society and the arms of their friends._When Homeopathy falters here we will at once

abandon it; and should I then fail ill I shall havethe honor of paying my respects to Dr. Turner andassuring him of the regard, professionally, which Inow, personally, entertain for him. G. G. F.

It would not be presumptuous in us to regard thelarger part of the inhabitants of oar State as inutter ignorance of tiie locality and even existenceof the land we are about to describe. A few, per¬haps, who are inquisitive in atlases may have ob¬served, iliatin the Northern par: of New-York thereis an area of respectable dimensions, where no city,town, or viliage is dotted down.Politicians barelyknow the fact, that Hamilton county presents butan insignificant array of voters, and our jobbers inmerchandise only recollect that they never sellgoods, and consequently never make any bad debtsNorth cf Johnstown. Here and there, however,you will find some true disciple of Izaak Walton,who has heard of this El Dorado of angling by thehearing of the ear. and who pants to wave his taper¬ing rod over the cool brown waters, ami strike theravenous trout in his native haunts far away at thesummit level, where the Hudson, the Canada, theMoose, and the Raquet, springing, as it were, froma common fountain, begin their journey to the sea.

It may be, too, that your lackadaisical sportsman,grown proud of his proficiency in winging wood¬cock and presuming upon trying his hand uponother and larger came, has upon diligent inquirylearned that tbe deer and the moose hide theiry< ung in the untouched forests, and range the coldragged mountains that are piled up between LakesCbafliplain and Ontario. Save and excepting these,this tract of land has been left to the trapper andht3 prey. At a rough estimate its form might beset down as a rectangle with a length of one hun¬dred and a breadth of fifty miles. If you were to

take this rectangle and lit one corner of it at Rcm-seu in the county of Oueida. about fifteen milesNorth of L'tica, allowing the longest side to run

North along the Black River, and the shorter sideEast toward Lake George.you would have enclosednearly all of the Tract.

It is a land of swamps, of cold, thin soils, androck-bottomed streams. Its geological structure,

having been explored under the supervision of theState, is found to be composed of those primitiverocks, which betoken barrenness and promise no

return to the husbandman. The cedar, the balsam,the pine, the hemlock and the spruce have usurpedits surface, while generous, civilized trees, thoughoccasionally discovered, seem to have concludedthat it is like Oregon, North of 49'-, not worth having.If the maple und the beach have been venturesome

enough here and there to strike thei.- roots, theyseem nevertheless to have been forred to stand in

patches shoulder to shoulder around some com¬

manding knoll, which some diluvial mud, wander¬ing out of its course, has heaped up by mistake, andleft as a decoy for the straggling seeds of those

generous forest trees. A miserable and contentiouslife these stragglers lead; for the impudent 3prucehas inserted his reed-like body within their veryintrcncliraents. overtopping them in hight, over¬

powering them in letid exhalation, and laughing allwinter long in his evergreen clothing, while theyare naked and ice-bound : the red cedar runs hissinnone length out of his dismal swamp, and rudelyinserts it among their polite branches, the balsamexudes its clammy fatness around their roots, andsmears their tender suckers with its noisome pitch.Nature seeras to have conspired to bring them intoexistence for the pleasure of torturing them: andwhen we visited them last Summer we stumbledover the dead bodies of several who had concludedit was better to give up the ghost than live in sucha Botany Bay Society; anil as most of them diedwithout issue, we prognosticate their families willsoon become extinct.The name Brown's Tract is not strictly applica¬

ble to the whole of this barren territory. W e are

informed that among the early princely landholdersof Northern New-York, who took shares in thelottery of Gen. Macorub when he sold his Paten:given for Revolutionary services, were Messrs.Pierpont, Constable, Remseu, Low, Shalcr and theBaron Steuben. These drew prizes in purchasingtheir tracts. One John Brown, who, if we recol¬lect right, was a Rhode Islander, obtained a grantEast of Macomb's Patent, and drew a blank. Hepartitioned oil' his numerous acres in the Easternpart of Lewis, and Northern _part of Herkimer andHamilton counties. About thirty years ago the rela¬tives and heirs of Mr. Brown attempted to estab¬lish a colony upon their Tract on a spot about 40miles East of Lowville. At that place the adven¬turers felled the forest trees, and opened about two

square miles to the rays of the sun. Tbey con¬

structed a saw and grist mill, built houses and barns,erected a forge, and began to mine for iron and coal.A part of them were employed in constructing andimproving the road, which had been run throughthe forest, a part were pushing forward the manu¬

facturing department, and the remainder were set

apart to till the land. The first two parties met

with moderate success, the latter with successivefailures. No coal was found, but iron ore was

abundant: and the road was made quite passableby means of crossways over the intermediateswamps. But the land withheld its increase. Everymonth bad its severe frost, and that nipped off the In¬dian corn; the second season winter-killed the wheat,and the third rotted their potatoes in the hill. Tb»-irlast hope of sustenance was gone. The agent whowas appointed to oversee the settlement, had al¬ready expended about seventy thousand dollars inhis coal hunting speculations", and his principals,alarmed at an outlay so extravagant with such fee¬ble hopes of return" refused :o" honor his drains.Harrisoli', isuch was his named in a fit of chagrin and

despair, shot himself. The colonists, such as re¬

mained, being left without a leader, bent their weary-steps toward a more genial sun, and were glad to

escape even with their half-famished frames fromsuch a land of desolation ; and the Tract was againdelivered over to the sole tenancy of the beaver,the martin, the deer, and their kin. From this ill-starred experiment. Brown's Tract became a fa¬miliar term with the inhabitants of Oceida andLewis, and Jefferson counties to designate the wholebarren Tract.

Tbe contents of this med¬ley were even more unique. Ham. tea and tobaccohere, fish-lines, butter, and meal there; tin-plates,clean socks, and salt in this, sugar, pork, and onionsin that; all snugly swathed in clean cotton, andpacked with single regard to bulk and weight. Batthe proof was nigh at hand -which was to demonstrate the good judgment of our sutler in the charac¬ter and 4ua!ity ot our equipments. The Generalgathered up his lines, dung bis lash into the Hanksot his steeds, and we were soon on our way at a jollytrot.Our rosol took a course North East from Leyden.

leading through a sni.-Ji hamlet, called Collinsville.t. Utting on the way two other hearty fellows to our

band, we continued the same course three miles byseveral rapid descents to the High Falls on theBlack River. The Black River Canal, if not al¬ready Jt facto terminated by the stop policy of our

Legislature, will terminate at this spot, and" be con¬

nected with the stream below the Falls by a succes¬

sion of locks. The road crosses the river just abovethe Falis, and the bridge is hung as it were justupou th* edge of the foaming cataract. Just beforeBlack River precipitates itself over the rock, it re-

ceivea an accession from the waters of the MooseRiver, flowing from the East and of nearly equalvolume. Tbe united waters having leaped the abyss,pursue their journey North about twenty miles to

the town of Carthage, where bending due West

they accumulate the immense manufacturing powerused at Watertown. Brownviile and Dexter, in thecounty of Jefferson, and lose themselves silently inthe bosom of the Ontario near Sacketts Harbor.

TJie High Falls are not without romantic andpicturesque scenery. The cataract itself is not thedescent of a solid sheet of water, but rather a sort

ot hop, skip, and jump dowu an inclination of aboutseventy degrees over as may feet of surface, in thecourse of which, meeting with sundry angular frag¬ments, the water is lashed into a foam and is alreadyconverted into froth and bubbles, when it reachesits aether bed. The neighboring gentry, who pridethemselves highly on this ntuurtl attraction of theircountry, stoutly aihrm that the roar is audible ofteumore than a miie but when we crossed the bridge,a saucy mill-saw right on the brink was whittlingits way through a hemlock log with so much nim-bleness and noise, that the roar of the cataract incomparison witli thegrating, singing steel was aboutas the plaint of a nightingale to the roar of a lion.Following the course of the Black River North

for a couple of miles our road turned suddenly to

the right and lead up a succession of hills, till wereached an elevation of a thousand feet above theRiver. This level was nut reached until we were

distant twelve miles from the Kails, and on the veryverge of civiiiztttion. The intervening country hadbeen but recently cleared, and wore no very in¬

viting appearance. The adventuresome farmer,who has pitched his habitation upon the edge of theunbroken forest is Mr. Abbey, and within his capa¬cious barn we were to stow our wagons and harness, the road being no longer passable for wheel-carriages. Receiving here another accession to our

party we mustered seven men and six horses, alltold. Our guide had preceded us by a day in or¬

der lo provide boats fur our conveyance on thelakes. The beasts were soon saddled, and wc pre¬pared to sling our baggage. Now, this is a processby no means as simple as it might nppear. First, itis required ofeach horse to carry a hundred poundsbesides his rider: secondly, these hundred poundsare made up in part of iron-ware, which have uglylong handles, and enjoy cumbersome and crookednoses: thirdly, the load must not protrude muchbeyond the horse's Hides, or the trees will draw it08* in traversing some narrow defile: fourthly, itmust be hung low. to enable the beast to preservean equilibrium. Fancy, then, a horse thus laden.Two meal hags, plethoric with fifty pounds each ofassorted utensils and provisions, and suspended bya strong hempen cord across the saddle, hang dang¬ling just behind his lore legs; parallel with themeal hags are the limbs of the rider, who bears hiscloak in front, crams his pockets with every odd

unpackablc thing, swings a lin eup from his neck,brandishes a fryinn pan or tea kettle in one hand,and guides his steed as best be may with the other.

podea to our moral and intellectual advancement,inimical:o our prosperity, and directly oppoacd to our releasefrom sn unjust and odious distinction in regard to our

unceasingly put forth during tho lust twenty live years,for the removal of that oppressive and linn-democraticclause in the Constitution of our Slate, which prohibitsour voting on tqual terms with other citizens, that we

consider this a matter of vast importance. Tbo tltno.

however, has arrived, and we rejoice with lear ana

trembling, when this subject is brought home to everyman's conscience, und the people are called to deter¬

mine the great question hetween tqual political rights,and cruel and unjust distinctions. I bis is a subject that

appeals to your sense of right and wrong, of consciousresponsibility and consistency, and divested of its ng-leaf covering, (that is of tbe color of the skin.) and based

upon tbe immutable principles of justice, which princi¬ples you affirm to be the rule of your conduct, wo call

upon you to meet in an open, manly generous and Chris¬tian like manner.This Is not as some erroneously suppose, a question

between the White and Colored citizens of tbo State,but a conflict of rights; the right of the majority to vio¬

late or take away the rights of the minority a war be-tween the spirit of Slavery and the genius of emanci¬

pation Tbis being the state of tbo case, we need not

remind you that the prominent and responsible positionwhich you occupy, as the opponents ot Slavery and op¬

pression, demands a continuation of demonstrations ol

your firm and determined opposition and hatred to

Slavery in every form, whether it is tound at the South,depriving your fellow men of valuable and inviolablerights.or at the North, dishonoring your State, crushingthe rising spirit of manhood in tbe bosom ot your lellowcitizens, and despotically robbing them of the safeguardof liberty.We have hitherto refrained from asking your aid from

an expectation arising almost to a certainty, that prompt¬ed by a sense of duty as our professed friends, and the

dictates of justice, humanity, and tho religion which

ninny of you would profess, you would have encour¬

aged us still to hope while you cast your votes, and the

weight of your influence, to rescue us Irom politicalhondHge; but iudge of cur surprise, pain, and disap¬pointment, when we found tlernt Smith, so long known

Hnd regarded as the dauntless apostle of Liberty, tbe ad¬

vocate of the bleeding, manacl"*! slave, the black man's

defender and friend, the philanthropist and Christian,abandoning tbe poor and needy in an hour so propitiousto their cause, so replete of good or evil consequences to

themselves and their posterity. Still wc are not without

bops! that he may yet see the great injustice whictt he Is

committing upon himself; that bis course may do us an

irreparable injury ; that he is strengthening tne hand ofour oppressors, and directly oppressing us himself. |What think you. gentlemen, the world would lay

should be found that we failed becauao our Abolitionfriends withheld their votes from us ?How could you bear Its scorching rebuke and tbe eter¬

nal sttjma whtch such a course ol action would entail

up-n you. Remember you are narrowly watched, andthe eyes of men in all pans of the country are upon you.We do not ask the abandonment of principle for our

benefit, but we ask you to come up to the standard of

Liberty; and it you cannot emancipate three millions ofSlaves at tbe South, help to emancipate forty thousandcitizens of aur own State.Nor do we ask the dissolution of your party, but that

instead of making nominations which cannot possiblybenefit either you or us. you will give your votes and

use your influence against disfranchising us longer. Thiswe think is not asking too much of friends, nor is it ask¬

ing more »f avowed ones than we have already asked ofboth Democrats and Whigs. Certainly it would not beunnatural should we conclude that he who " is not for us

is against us." We ask you tc look at this subject in the

same light that we have often heard Mr. Smith, in the

deep emotion of his soul, and with burning eloquence,ask others to look upon the subject of slavery in the

light of eternal truth and justice.Thick cot that we are over anxious, or think we set

too high a value on the ballot-box. You can Imagine Its

worth to th t True, we are colored men but have not

develops one of the most remurkable discoveries oftbo times.a discovery not lesa valuable than remarka¬ble.being, in short, tbe promulgation of a system ofpractical knowledge, by which the Quality and Quantityof Milk which any cow will give may be accurately de¬termined by observing Natural marks or External Indi¬

cations alone, together with the length of time she will

continue to give milk, Ate. dec. Tho experience of everyono establishes tbe Incontrovertible fact that some per¬sons are, in common parlance, " good judges of a cow,"and will give quite an accurate general character of an

animal's capacities, solely by external appearancea. Tbeauthor of tbe Treatise above referred to has accom¬

plished all this and more.has arrived at tho means ofknowing the particular details with scientific precision,and baa arranged these means Into s well-tested and com¬municable System. The account given of this discoveryby its author, from lte first dawning upon him while a

cow-boy of 14 years of ago through all its progress ofcareful scrutiny, examination, and perfection, until it was

at the end oftwenty-five years pronounced infallible by tbemost enlightened Agricultural Societies of France, now-ever Intensely interesting to our farmer readers, would

occupy too much space for our columns, even if wewere not restrained from depredations on the pages ofthe " Library" by tbe copyright of its enterprising pub¬lishers ; while such extracts as we might now give

would afford but slight gratification to curiosity, SufficeIt to say, that the author. M. Gveno.n, of Llbourne,France, was the son ol a gardener, who has devoted a

wholo life to this one subject, and as a doaler in cattle,baa attained aa the reward of his persevering genius not

only wealth, hut the highest honors from the most dis¬

tinguished Agricultural Societiee of Europe.Eleven closely printed pages of the " Treatise" with

two pagea of engraved illustrations, are given In the

preaent number of the " Library." It Is to be continued

In the March number, with "Practical Observations sad

Remarks on Cattle." by Ivo. S. Bxnnnn. the Editor.Tills srticle alone, to every farmer who la not content to

bo a mere Ignorant peasant-drudge to the other classes of

society, is worth double the annual subscription to the" Library and Journal."We stated some time since our determination that the

Farmers of Shelby should attend to their interests by a

liberal subscription to this work. We repeat that deter-mination and by way of showing that we are la earn¬

est we hereby notify Esq. L.k, and Dr. B.d, of the

town, examine a specimen, and order the icork. These

gentlemen, with others upon whom we have our eye,

are and should be, " ensamplea unto their less informed

brethren." and we shall not bold them excused. Witheach and all we promise, if required, to enter into.. bond with good security" to take the work off their

hards and refund the price of subscription if, at the endof the volume, they do not acknowledge tbey have been

more than compensated fsir the outlay. Come, gentle¬men, we attend yon.

MORAL COWARDICE..The truth is. no mm, what¬

ever physical courage be baa. who does a wrong knottingIt to be such, is ever brave cr heroic. He may be des¬

perate, and, in hia convulsive throes, bring destruction

upon hundreds, snd upon bis own head ; but in the greatmajority of cases, where injustice- Is done, few men willventure so far. Now, say what we may, there is no re¬

flecting mind among Slave-holders that does not know

Slavery to be an evtl, and upon whom the convictiondees not come, as a terrible reality, this evil must recoil

upon him and his. A love of money, love of power andhabit may blind him.or screw his courage up to the ne¬

cessary point of defending the peculiar institution, bygentle or violent means. But this can only endure whilethere is entire andperfect union in the Slate holding region.When clusters of men in different neighborhoods speakout their opposition, and more especially when the gene,ral current sets strongly In favor of universal freedom,slaveholders quail before it as the heart of the untriedlandsman sicks within htm when first wildly tossed bythe storm at aea.
