A little pair of boots, to-nighe,
Before the fire are drying ;
A little pair of tired feet
In a trundk-bed arc lying;
The tracks they left upon the floor
Make me feel like sighing.
Those little boots with copper tors,
• They run the livelong dav !
And oftentimes I almost wish
That they were miles uwav 1
So tired am I to hear so olt
Their heavy tramp at play.
To-day I was disposed to scold;
But when I look, to-night,
At those small boots before the fire,
With copper-toes so bright,
I think how sad my heart would be
7% put them out of sight.
For in a trunk, up stairs Ive laid
Two socks of white and blue ;
If called to pnt those boots away,
O God f what should I do ?
I mouru.tbal there are not to-night
Four boots instead of two.
We mothers weary get and worn,
Over our load of care ;
But how we speak of those dear ones,
Let each of us beware :
What would our fireside be, to-night,
Ifnosmall boots were there?
The Great Maws meeting in

Friday evening, Eubrunry 28th,
there was a power : ul gathering of the
Democracy of New York, the object
bring to give expression to the views of
the people on tbe question of impeach
ment. A'ready the telegraphic dis

givi n a brief abstract of tbe proceed

proper idea of the strength and respect
ability of that and m nstration, we mako
some exiraets from tbe cceount, of the
meeting published in tbe World, frcni
which we learn that Ocoper Institute
was densely thronged by an audience
re;res.ntiug ail the professions and the
capital a;.d labor of the city, who assem
bled to condemn the revolutionary
schemes tl the Radical portion of Con
gress, as embodied in the impeachment
of the'Gitof Magistra'e. The hour ap
pointed for tbe proceedings was 74
o’clock, but l'irgbcf re that time every

TUE RESOLUTIONS.
The following resolutions were thee
read by Mr. J. \V. Gerard, Jr., and ap
proved amid loud applause:
Itesoivcd, That tbe present political
crisis is fraught with great and pecu iar
danger to constitutional Government
and to republican institutions in the
United Stated
Resolved", That the chief, if not the
only, safeguard of freedtin is govern
ment, under and by a written constitu
tion, which is the solo guarantee of tbe
rights of the people and of the Slates,
and which can alone insure the stability
of republican institutions, upon which
rests the permanent prospeiity of this
country. That wisely and skillfully
framed aB was the Constitution which
the Fathers of the Repub tc left u», as
the fruit of ibeir bloody struggle and
patient counsels, it is even less the pre
servation of this Coubtitotitu that de
mands onr cbitfest care tbnn tbe abso
lute fuluii.-sion to tbe Coostitu i >n,
whatever it may be, until it is changed
by the will of the people, in accordance
with its own provisions.
Resolved, That being the erganie
• law, in virtue of which only political
I>.VYV Siorv, GA., r MAItCH IQ, i(s(;s.
nati und our G,' eiiiun iH exist,
the 0 ‘Ostirufjon is for the people, aI ,J
the G ivtisment, of the. United Sta'cs at
once tbe foundation of all municipal
law, and above all other human law,
and is Strictly binding upon all depart
ments of the Government, L<g-slature
as well as .x. cutlvc and Judicial; and
that those who attack, defy or disregard
this primal law, openly or insidaously
under the forms of legislation comn.it a
like wrong with those who sought like
ends by force of arms. That it is the
C. t duty of the I*re-id.nt of the Uni
ted States to preserve, protect and de
iciid the C. ns’itution by all lawful
n. an- against attacks from any quarter,
even should they be made by the rep- !
pesentativea of the people, who them
selves cannot dl.-rtgaid it or change it
otherwise than in aceordat.ee wi*h is
own provisions, except by breaking
down our only barrier against anarchy
on tbe one side and tyranny on the oth
er.
Resolved, That the President, being
the only Executive officer known to the
Constitution, and the secretaries of the
several departments being on the Su
preme Cuurt has decided, his subordi
nate, ministerial (Biters, or, iu the
words of the Cou.t, “his bands ” sud he
not they, being resp Dsible to tbe peo
ple for their acts, he is of right, as in
practice he has always been, from the
administration of Washingloj to tbe
present day, the proper judge of their
fitness to remain in such ifficial connec
tion wrb him. That in the last words
of that able statesman and true patiiot,
the late Governor Andrew of Mussa
< husetts, wbii'h he applied to Mr. John
son, Congress-ought to leave the Presi
dent free lo select his Cabinet, and to
hold Lim responsible for them, he has a
direct and supreme personals interest in
any measures which may seek to deprive
him cf bis power to remove tbcm when
they no longer possess his confidence.,
and, therefore, the first and best right
to test the lawfulness and constitution
ality of those measures.
R solved, That tbe endeavor tu class
the cffjr g of a President to
bis office, power which has been trans
mitted to_ him with tbe asst nt of all ibe
people unimpaired frem tbe days of
W arbinton, with such high ctim.s and j
biifc.ry, is a pal [.able absurdity aLd a
monstrous perversion o f tbe p wer con
i' iieil upon the House es Kcpreaenta
tives.
Resolved, That the impeachment cf j
a President of the Unit, and dates she uld .
be tbe I.B' r.Bjrtf.r the protection of
the Repul lie tr- ni sueh a di«gr?ce or
grievous wrong us horn raid, men of all
parties would feel, and wt uld e'rivc to
gether to avert; that tbe adoption of
such a measure by a strict party veto,
because of the President’s curse in re
gard to legislation which touches his
right in his own political household, and
is at variance with tie Cu s ituti uas
it has been interpreted from the time
, f Washington, Adams and Jefferson to
tbe present day, aid opposed to the
views and the f cling of a large propor
tion if not a msj riiy rs the people, L
net impeachment as contemp lated in tbe
traming of tbe Constitution, but a mere
novice by which the dominant majority
in any Congiess, dtvidiug itself into ac
cuser and judge, may assume to decide
as a court of last resort the cc-ustitu—
tiona ity of its own acts; a proceeding
which is at war with tbe fundamental
principles of law, cf rcasot , and of hon
or; and one which must degrade wbat
should be a solem vindication of the dig
nity and welfare of the natron into an
instrument of party tactics, and a
means of party revenge.
Resolved. That wo now rely only up
on the dignity and the moderation of
the Senate, and >he personal and Judi
cial integrity of the individual Senators
to 6avc the country from tho great
wrong with which it is threatened, anti
from the enormous evils which would
inevitably ensue.
Rtsolved, That this meeting protests
against the present impeachment as
scandalous, wrongful, and unconstitu
tional in spirit; but in none the less oe
prccatcs tbe resort to violent measures
or to menaces in support of the right,
aud trusts that the American people will
look with calmness even upon the vin
dictive impeachment and possible dis
placement of the President of the Uni
ted States, and will rely only upon the
peaceful moans of disuusHOD aud tbe
1 aliot box for the vindication cf the
truth and the restoration of wisdom to
the c uncils of the nation.

nouncement that his wife Mrs Catha

prayer. In a few hours he was taken

The deceased, Mr Your g, was a well
known citizen 0 f Po k county, and dii

The American Girl.—l is the be
lief of certain welt m lUtug meo who j
were not born in C u itantinoj 1 , that it j
the American gi'l were culled on to meet j
a proportion of hir expeuses by her own
labor, she would be publicly a greater j
blessing, and p-rsouaiy healthier, wiser:
and happier. It is cv- n believed that
her outlay, instead of increasing, would
diminish. Pra;ticcd in the mystery of
keeping accounts, aware by txper.euce
of tbe difficulty of earning money, 6 he
would become clover enough to save it.
With something to do, she would put
lees mind, time, aud purse into the pur
suit of pleasure. Mated at l-.st with a
poor man, (so many are iucouragabie vi
cious that way !) she w-mid bhare his

y-uis ago (1846 J I saw an udvertiso
merit in the Amerieun Farmer, Haiti,

!of Peruvian Guano. I ordered three
sacks, und tried it. I found it to piay
Well. I used it sparingly at fiist, be
ing at that lime the only one in Geor
gia who used it, so far as I knew 1
continued to increase th -* quantity an
nually until 1861. That year I used
ol all kinds, thirteen thousand dollars
wortli ; last year I used twelve thou
sand dollars wor h—being the |>io
neer I lost a great deal of money in
making trials of other guanos. At
present, the peopile have plenty of light
to guide them in purohusiug manures
See Dr. Hamilton’s experiment in Jan
uary No., and tho-e of Dr. Pendleton
and Mr. Davi-on in the February No
of the Cultivator. The planters of
Georgia and other cotton States could
save enough money, by heeding the
lessons taught by those three exp.eti
men s, tu take one hundred thousand
copies of the Southern Cultivator It
is very sfunge that the planters will
not sOjipont an organ—yes, even a
daily organ—devoted entirely to their
interests.
I lie plunter should not only learn
to make money, but ho should be a
good financier—learn how to invest it:
1 ir-t. So as to get the greates’ com
(ort from lie pat ts; ent in living; anil,
secondly, the safest investment, yield
ing largest dividends, too, that wi 1
lo t hurt any body, but be advantage
ous u!ke to those now Jiving, and no
{ti 'stci iiy.
I rom my experience, I will give my
jtlutt, hoping that many others will give
theirs lam for au annual manure
pier cent, profit, or double the invest
mens. lam in favor ol an investment
that never pleads for t me, or com
plains of Usurious interest or calls for
relief or rep udiation, bat will punctual

incut is Boiuble Rones and Peruvian
Guano. I.en lit to your land in sums
ot five to tiltcen dollars pier acre, at
-ix to nin months time, and if you do
your duty, plow deep uud cullivlte
Shallow, the piny mi nt will be sure
Your land will be left ir. better condi
tion—money will bo furni tied to put
back the same amount of manure tho
next yuar, an! an {tie dividends made
to live on and make other investments.
Tho word “st-mulu'e” is improperly
applied to mai ureS. I* auts have no
turves for them to tint on When you
see plants growing very rapidly, to
which manure is soluble, and not per
manent, and the roo sos the plant* are
übsorbirig it, and the blades working
it up for the eiop I have no ufee for
a permanent manure. If permanent,
it is not soluble ; if not solub e, it never
w ill enter the roots of plants, aud if it
dous not enter tbe roots of plums, your
mou yis gone. No manure is worth
a cent, if permanent. '1 he Adamic
ocean would not by permanent, if its
su. plies were cut off—it „i e rum cuas
ed, and all the rivers stopped. Sup
posing it level at the bottom as well us
tire ti p. ana one thousand feet deep
still it would dry up in lets than two
hundred years—a shorter time than
! some lauds in Viigimu have been cul
tivated. Bo away with your permit
nent manuies; but be ever vigilant to
save all home-made manures possible,
of every vaiiety—pine straw and
swamp mud included Manipulate j
your sandy laud with clay—your c l uy 1
land wi.h vegetable mould. Plow
deep, rotate your crisis, and rest your
lands. Buy lots of so üble manure,
and siva twice as much as if you
bought none. Is thero a single plan
ter who would Iced money to bo paid

manent manures, be cannot expert i
much better luck Is there cna that
is unwilling to lend bis money ut six ,
and nine months, have it under hie !
control all be time, BDd get prompt

cant, of the principal, and one hun-1
1 dred and twenty five per cent profit ?
Give me tho manure that will pay
promptly, with good dividends. Do
no. be alraid tnat it will exhaust yuur
land. Put tbe cotton teed back, to-
gether with the manure Irom tl e
straw, corn, oats and shucks, with the
straw used to save the manure and
bed the st ck ; also what the eropis got
from 'he atmosphere I would like to
have my land exhausted dint way.
r l here is only so much corn and cot
ton in any manure, and the sooner you
get it the better. It w ill piay The
loss will bis smaller, and only one rear’s
work required. The same is true of
land. There is only material enough
iu i tin make a given quantity of corn
or cotton, and the greater quantity
you get each year the better Do

Accumulate a large fund in soluble
mould arid other manure, and never
let it ho sail! hy posterity, that ir is
hard-r for.them to live, because iou

agriculture so that a given quantity of

the punters in Hanco k county have
