Mksshs. Editous : The fall of tho Charier Oak, thai time-honored landmark of liberty, is an event well calculated to arrest our attention. There is a significance attached to it, which should not bo lost eight of; and if at this timo we turn fiom the heat and smoke of tho coute.-t for tho Presidency that wo are engaged in, to take a look at tho past, and a>k ourselves if wo arc emulating tho heoric devotion and atom chivalry of our ancestors, wo may learn a lesson of forbearance that will snve us from futuio disgrace and a sea of troubles. Wo live in a world of changes; each generation have their own cares and responsibility, which human progress imposes; upon us lias devolved issues of magnitude, and history w ill faithfully record our decisions. In all former campaigns of which 1 have any recollection, the battles were waged between Whigs and Democrats with commendable decorum and bonorablo warfare. With but few exceptions, partisan speeches and newspaper columns were devoid of that gross personal abuse and perversion of truth that has appeared through the whole course of Muck Republicanism thus far. Whigs and Democrats always managed to find some salient points of ditVcrciice at homo, something near, touch'.air a vital ialcrc.it. that wc could feel we had a personal concern in. The stnigglo wai a fair, manly, hand-to-hand tight; it was a party warfare that could be participated in bv every Slate in the Union, and the conqueior and the vanquished could alike feel that they had inet on equal grounds, brother with brother. They entered the lists "Willi that stein joy wlrch warriors feel In foe me a worthy of their steel.11 The grounds of difference were always great national questions, never sectional; and each party, in success or defeat, carefully watched over the best interests of the whole Union. Their numbers being nearly equal throughout tlie fice States, the Abolition party, to our shame bo it remembered, for years held the balance of power, although they had but a small number of votes. Still, they proved enough to slip between tho two great parties, and managed to hoist into office creatures of their o\\ it, and kvop up, ia our Stalo and National Legislature-, the fires of sectional stiif.-. The same issues they have always presented. Under tho name of "Republicans," they givo us now, absolutely nothing in which we, as citizens of New Vork, have a direct interest. They are all foieign to uiir hordcts, and they nsk us to meddle with the business >>f other American citizens in a way w11? ?'\ uuwai rantahle. They dare not avow die whole black programme in their appeal# for the campaign. They pre-eut nothing which at first i>calculated to shock our patriotism. Hut 1 >k a little closer, and you will find concealed under the black pall, something more than abstract ideas, something tangible and teal, thai shows wc have an interest it* this issuo that will live while we live, and be transmitted to our children. < hi a mem rablo occasion, the charter under which Cotisicc'.ient enj"V? i superior advantages was concealed in the body of that noble old Oak which has just fallen t>? recall us t > our duty, and tho agents of IJtilain were foiled in their atLr-inpt to deprive the citizens of that Stale of its acknowledged rights.

A world of words has been wasted in this campaign, in depleting the breaking o}> of the Mi-nouri Compiomb-, l?nt it will he well for us to look lor ourselves, and see wherein our ruins have l?o-n infringed. We generally understand thai slavery was admitted South of ."50 00, while North of that line was to he tree. Now, long before Kansas was thought of. New Mexico, which lie- South of dO 3(5, was provided with a Territorial government, and the question of ?lav. ry was disposed < ! in precisely tin .-ante terms as was recently done in K msas, thus \irtual!y doing :twa\ w ith the <Jotnproiui.se South of 30 30. Whv was there tro noise made about that} Simp ly hecau-e the South, with a magnanimity thatoviry good Democrat or Whig inu-t applaud, was willing the leave the hardy set I lets of the wrildehicss to make their own laws. Hut if the liberal charter granted to Kansas was a fraud upoji the SVvrth, then tho chatter granted previously to New Mexico was a fraud upon the South. What* aver wo may think of this matter now, wo -annot lose sight of tho fact that tho United States have restored to the inhabitants < f Kansas the precise rigftU tlrcy enjoyed in overy Stale of this t"nton before they went lo Kansas. They hold no arbitrary reins jver them hut leave them as the citizens of the States are left, to make thoir own law cut the subject of slavery. And now there rises up a party in our mi 1st that objects to fill this. With Kueedom inscribed up< n their banners, they seek to deprive the peo pie of Kansas of rights granted them by a charter from the United States. They seek lo do this with your votes, llow tho priv logo of making thoir own laws is to law-re.ted from Kansa.', does not appear <>n these Hlack Kopublican banners; hut, one hing is quite sure, the settler- that have jccii going there the pas', two years, if they nave one apatkof the tiro that burned in the >ld Slate of t'onnorticut, will contend with hem manfully for their chartered light. Dkmoci .1 ok Mi:w VortK and iiik l."xiox, >ve must stand by our guns to help them, f need be. Never, never, let it ho recordid hi history, thai the United States broke ailh with Kansas, and turned her over to he tendci ineicie-* of such men as Heecher, ircoley A t'o. Do not bo deceived with he other equally delusive inscriptions on ho black banner, "Kiee Press" and 'Free speech." If wo bio to have more latitude wider tho Itlack Re publican rule than they invo tnken under Democratic -way, God |^lp Us. \Vo have no further occasion to be alarm!<] about the trouble* hi Kansas. "We have % - been grossly deceived j?r toilteir original extent; but the influence they will exert, not over yet. I uu? mistaken if some the infuriated leaders of the Black Itepub cans do riot feel the wrongs they have be guilty of when the election is over. Tin consciences will tell them thoic is such tlitng as murder; that a man may live Brooklyn, New York, or Boston, and s' be guilty of plotting, originating, ntid ins gating murders in Kansas, with all the In lid train of brutalities at which the bet chills and sickens. There may be no h man accountability for all this, but a day coming for calm reflection, when the exeii meut of party dies awav, and the spirit the innocent victim wakes a scorpion tli never dies.

The following extract from an address 1 Mr. Greeley, before the Krio Countv Ag cultural Society, at Buffalo, N. V., conlai some useful hints: ' The truth which I am most anxious impress is, that no poor man can afford bo a poor farmer. When I have recot mended agricultural improvements, 1 ha often been told this expensive farming w ' do well enough for lich people, but we w are in moderate circumstances can't affo it.. Now, it is not ornamental farming tli I recommend, but profitable fanning. It true, that the amount of a man's capii , must fix the limit of his business, in ag culture as is in everything else. But. ho ever poor you may bo, you can afford cultivate land well, if you afford to cullivr it all. It may bo out of your power to ke a large farm in a high state of cultivatk but you should sell a part of it, and cu! vale a small oue. If you ate a poor in: vou cannot affoid to raise small crops; y cannot afford to accept half a crop fro land capable of yielding a whole. If y< arc a pool man, you cannot afford to fen two acres to secure the crop you ought grow on one; you cannot afford to pay lose tin) interest on the cost ?>f 100 acres land to get the crops that will grow > f.O acres. No man can afford to raise bushels of coin per acre, not even if I la?-J were given him, for 20 bushels | aero will not pay the cost of the miseral cultivation that produces it.

The Poison Strychnine, Thin diug, which has lately become so notorious for destroying tlie lives of tinman beiugs, is a moat deadly organic poison. A dog lias been killed with the sixth part of a grain ai d a human being with less. When introduced iTito the stomach it acts with fearful energy, and causing lock-law immediately and death in a few minutes. It is odorless, but so intensely bitter as to be petceplihle to the taste when one pan is diluted in a million parts of water. The composition of strychnine is carbon 4 J, hydrogen 24, oxygen 4. nitrogen 2 equivalents. It is colorless, and forms soluble chrystalizable salts. It is an alkaline base, as is extracted principally from the Strych not nux vomica. Tlio ireo from which it is obtained is of moderate size, and grows in several parts of the Rust Indies and the Island of Ceylon. Its fruit are largo or ange-colored berries, the pulp of which is the favorite of many birds. The seeds contain the deadly poison. They are flat aud round, about an inch in diameter, and gray in color. These needs wc"6 used as a medicine, and as a poison, by tl e Hindoo*, long before llicy were known in Europe. Many of the natives of UitulooMnti often use it as people use opiutn. Tl ey com inenco with taking the eighth of a nut a day, and gradually increase their allowance to an entile nut, which would bo alxmt twenty grain*. If they eat it directly bo fore or after food, no unpleasant efleets ate piodueed, but if they neglect this precaution, spasms are the result. The hark of the tree is also poisonou*, and from its resemblance to Angustura or Cusparia bark, a tonic medicine imported from South Amotion, caused a great deal of alarm and excitement in Germany in the early part of this century by being mixed with bark. No sure antidote ha* yet boen discovered for this poison, but some chemists have attained to great skill in detecting if, when administered as a poison. Tlio following is L>r. Thompson's method of detecting the one-thousandth part of a grain: "Having placed a drop of strong sulpha tic acid on a piece of glass, add to it a small quantity of the susnoefod MihdatiM ?n.i I "I *' stir the wholo together so as to favor solution; then sprinkle over tire mixture a little powdered bichromate of potash, anil gently move a glass rod through the flui?l. If strychnia be present, a violet color of con sidcrablo beauty will ka almost immediately produced, which, after n few minute*, will fade into a reddish yellow, but ntay be renewed by the addition of more bichromate, as long as any strychnia remains undestroyed in the mixture. In this way the thousandth part of a grain of that alkaloid may be made to yield a very decisive indication. The points to be noticed are that sulphuric acid alone produces no apparent effect, and that the action begins at once round each particle of "the bichromate, so that if the glass be held in a vertical position, streams of a violet colored fluid may be scon to flow from each particle; and if at this time the wholo ho slowly stirred, the entire hulk of the fluid will speedily assume 'lie same characteristic tint." Sn.viisi'eauk and Dante.?Shakspeare almost always implies a total difference in tmture between one human being and another; ono being from the birth pure and at" f.'clionate, another base and cruel; and he displays each in its sphere as having the nature of dove, wolf, or lion, never much implying the government or change of nature hy any external principle, 'i here can he no question that in ti e main he is right iii mil v?ew 01 num.in nature; still, the other fiwm of \irtuo does exist occasionally, ami w as never, as far as 1 recollect, taken tntrch note of by him.

J F" Extraordinary Walloon Ascension. On the 23d ult. Monsieur Godard made J balloon ascension at Thilndelphia, in company with several companions, of which the papers give lite following account: 'About'six o'clock this party descended on tho farm of ^Ir. Carter, near Chester Creek. There they took supper, iheballoou being secured meantime. After this tk?y i le-uiined their aerial journey, and again descended a few miles further on, w\jere they were entertained at the house of Ms. Felton, of the Baltimore Railroad Company. After leaving Mr. Felton's It was found that the balloon had lost tnuch gae, and it was consequently unable to take up ail the excursionist. Messrs. Howling* and Butcher accordingly remained on Irrrtr Jirma, while their companions again ascended, and linally came down at North East, Md., t ten o'clock at night They returned to the city next day, delighted j with their trip. Tlie balloon was at time* ! over Wilmington and Norristown, aud it crossed the Delaware and tho Schuylkill i rivets more than once during its journey. It is believed that the balloon reached tho height of fourteen thousand feet above the earth, .and that it performed a journey of sixty mile*. At Wilmington Mr. Godard I descended, sufticiently low to Converse with a number of citizens of that place. lie 1 again descended, aud cattle down along the road and shook -hands with revoraJ astonished individuals. The passengers on this novel excursion say the sight front their lofty position was the most magnificent that can bo imagined, litis was particularly so to those who wore np just as the moon began to rise and tip hill and valley with her silvery beams. One of the peculiarities of this uight was tbo remarkable echo at the height of sonto ten thousand feet. Mr. Godard snug a song, and each verso was as distinctly sung by an echo as i sweet and melodious as the voice which uttorcd the words. At '.his altitude could also be heard the barking of dogs and ?ran the cackling *>f chickens. Rerolniionary Reminiscences.
