DANIEL WEBISTER.L W~ASuTITroT, Mlarch 13th, 1852. JOn[s TmAYon: I am glad to hear from y-ou again, and to learn that you are well, and that your teams, arid tools are ready for sprig's work, whenever thre w~eathrer will allow you to begin. I sometimes read books on farmniing; and . rememiber that a very sensible old1 authror advises farmers " to plo1w naked anmd sow naked." By this hre means that there is no use in begirnnring spi-rig's w~ork till the weathier is warm, that a farmer may throw off his whiter clothes arid roll up Ihis sleeves. Yet Ire says we ought to begiii as early in the year as possible. lHe wroto some very pretty verses on this subject, wuhiich, as far as I remember, run thus: " While yet thre spring i4 young, wuhile- earth unbinds Thre frorzenr bo.om to, the western winds: While mlountajin snows~V dissolve beneathr the sun, And stre:una yet new, fromi preipiesr runt EC'en in tis early dawu-ning of tht. year, Produce thre prlow, andt yoke thre strry isteer; A rnd goard hini till hre smoke betwniah hris tetil. Arid the bright share is uried in tire NoiI." Johrn Taylor, when you read these lines, (do you not seo . the sno'v melting, anrd the .little streamrs beginning to run down the slopes of .your Punrchbrook pnastuire, anid the new grass starting and growing ini thre trick ling water, all grecen, bright, arid beautiful ? Arid do you not see your Durhaim oxen smo king from heat and perspiration, ars they drawv along your great breaking rip pilowt, curttiung arid turning co-er thre tough swIardl in y-our meadow in the grea-t fielId? Thre name of this sennsibjle author is Virgil ; arid h egives farmers much other advice, somec of which you liave been following all this winter with out evern knowvinig that hre had given it: " flit whenr cold weaither-, heavy snow nnd rain, Thie laborring far-mer in thoe housre restrain, Let him forcast Iris work, withr timely car-, Wicelse is huddled whren tire skies mre fair: Their let him mark the sheep,arid whet thre shirring share, Or low trees for boats, arid number o'er ii sacks, or measure isa increarsing store ; Or sharpen strikes and meird cacth rake anid fork, So to be ready in good time to work Visit his crowded barns at erly miorn, Look to Iris granary anrd stroll Iris corn; Give a good breakfast to hris numrrror'us kine, ills Aslnin nerig nnli- rd irs fattirr swine." And Mr. Virgil says some other things, which you understand up at Frinklina as well as ever he did : In chilling winter swains enjoy their store, Foret their hardships, and recruit for more: The faruner to full feasts invites his frienls, And what he got with painas, with pleasure spends; Draws chairs aroun-l the fire, andl tolls once inure, Stories whieli often lhive leien told berore; Sprea-ls a clean t.1ablC., with thIngs good to eat, A nil ais some nipistening to his fruit and meat; 'hey praise his hospitality. and feel They shall sleep better after such a nical!" John Taylor, by the time you have got through this, you will have read enougl. The sum of all is, be ready for your siring's work as soon as the yeathor becomes warnn enough, and then put your hand to the pbw, and look not back. DANIEL WEBSTER. THE THUNDERER'S THREAT. The London Times, in a leader on the Cuban question, uses the following language. L is not calculated to .gnench the spirit of filibusterism now abroad in this country: " Powerful as the American peop!e un. questionably are in the delence of all that belongs to themselves, no nation has; in these. day-s, the strength or the means to run riot in the world, and gratify its own lusts and caprices at the expense of others. This rash and dangerons course will, if adopted, bring them into collision with other States besides Spain, and they %tould enter into such a onltest degraded in the eyes of the world by the popular violence and injustice which iave dictated these aggressions. The con auest of Cuba will not easily 'be effected by % mere band or freebooters, if indeed another Lopez expedition were allowed to quit the shores of the United States: But we fear :le American govermnent will be gradually ed on to do, as it (lid in the case of Texas, vhat every man of honesty condemns. Let hem not suppose, however, that such meas ires are to be taken with impunity because spain is not the power she once was. Spaim ins still the means of destroying the trade of he United States with the Mediterranean, md of inflicting tremtiendous losses upon it >y meants of letters of marq'e all over the vorld. Except Cuba and Porto Rico, she ias now no western colonies, and nn import mnt trade for America to assail. Moreover, ipon a question of this magnitude and im lis own groveranmet a .. . othing would better suit him than an op nrtunity of displaying and augmcenting the iaval power of France, by espousing the :anse of Spiin aig ainst sueh antagonlist ; for uch an expedition would flatter the country, d oceupy thle puiliC mil, with to serious isk to any French interest. However this naY lie, the firm and collective resolution of he maritime powets of Europe to oppose he aggressive policy of the United States, *vhen it extends even beyond the North Am rican con'ineit to Culha and to the Sand vich Islad, is the safeguard of peace, which i night otherwise be sacrificed to the outcry of' t indignation meeting;" antid the rashness >f the American democracy could hardly ~ommit a greater act of' folly thant to provoke uch a cotntest, withbout being assured of' the outtenance or even the neutrality of any of he powers."
