The greatest space that is ever allotted to its dis
cussion, is n column or two m lrfo-t, and eveu this
is in lIn; most obscure corner of an outer page,
as if fearful that the more'respectable occupants
■ of the inner temple of wisdom would be degra
ded, if not contaminated by the company of the
tillers of the sail. True, very true, agriculture
does not desire, nor docs it seek the company
front which itis thus excluded; and tho place al
lotted it in tfea newspapers is most consonant to
j.3 quiet and retired habits; but rids is no reason
for the exclusion—its retiring modesty should not
be made the excuse for excluding it from its'mer
ited station. Although- cur immediate interest
would he promoted by the entire exclusion of all
agricultural in it ter from the newspapers of tho
day, an i is promoted byeven thodignity of which
ws complain, we cannot witness with composure
ihe treatment that agriculture receives from them.
Almost every newspaper in the country, from the
ample imperials of the cities to tha “seven-bj’-
irines” of the most obscure villages, makes poli
ties the first subject of its devotion, and allots it
iff: firtt place ru its columns. The interests of
the foreign nations claim tho next, in the space
devoted to “foreign news,” then comes the re
eped of crime—of more properly, the temple of
infamy, in which the names and deeds of evil do
ers are immortalized, supported right and lc-lt by
'•accidents by field and ilood,” “wonderful coin
cidents,” “tremendous storms,” &c. Eveu Mis
Insipidity and Mr. Simpleton are allowed a con
spicuous place for their tales of love and homi
cide; aud occasionally the minstrel is permitted to
chant a ditty in the respectable aud dignified com
pany of politicians. The latter, however, is more
generally sent out to tho rural shades of the
“Poet’s comer,” to luue his lyre. Lastly, we
find on ti e last page, and as near to the outer edge
nr. possible without beiug shoved off entirely, a
column headed “Agricultural”—as if agricul
ture was ths last thing in the world worthy of no
tice.
But it i* not only the placo, hut the space al
lotted tiie subject of which wc would complain.
While individuals are allowed whole broad sides,
to blow them up and their opponents down, in
political discussions and party warfare, in which
the public good is tho least thing eared for or
thought of, a single column can scarcely be *: -ear
ed for the first and greatest of ail human interests!
Is it because agriculture is so well understood and
firmly established that it requires no aid from the
press? oris it, (as it seems ;o be inferred by the
obsurity of the place allotted to its discussion,)
because the subject is unworthy of so dignified a
fpnm as a newspaper?
We freely admit that newspapers are more
necessary to politics than to agriculture; we ad
■mil they are essential to its existence as a science
as at present understood. They are the wings of

Patent Cordage.—*To R. W. Sievier, of South
ampton Row, Bloomsbury, London, Gentleman,
a patent “for improvements in the manufactur
ing of cables, ropes, whale fishing and other hues,
lathe and rigger bands, £cc., aud applicable to o-
ther purposes,” was granted on the 1st of Decan-
1831; and the specification was enrolled in tho
Roils Chapel Office on the 1st June, 1632.
The ingenuity of this patentee has been de
veloped much more extensively in finding appli
cation:. for his invention than in tho invention it
self, which simply consists in the application of
strands of caoutchouc or ludiau rubber, instead
of strands of hemp or flax in the manufacture of
ropes. The ludiau rubber i* to he separated in
to slips of appropriate dimensions, and then
drawn out till they are reduced to the thickness
required for a strand. Seven, or any other con
venient number of the strands are then placed to
gether longitudinally, anil secured together by
hemp, flax, cotton, wollen, or other fibrous sub
stance, or by straps of leather, or other suitable
material, being woven, knitted netted or plaited
over the Indian runner strands. In the manu
facture of larger cordage, seven or any other con
venient number of lasts are to be bound-together
iu a similar manner, and then as many of this
second size tire to be united as shall make a ca
ble if required.

Messrs. Jl'm. Cumming, Jno. P. Ring and, Au
gustin Slaughter.
Gentlemen—Your favor under date 20th inst.
as a committeo appointed by a meeting of the ci
tizens of Richmond county, has this moment
been received, and I Jiasten to answer it.
The importance of the crisis is such, in my o-
pinion, as justifies, not only the citizens of Rich
mond, but of every county in the State, to de
mand of those who present themselves for public
favor a frank and full avowal of their sentiments,
it is what voters have a right to demand, and what
candidates have no right to withhold. Thus im
pressed, I can have no objections to give to you j
and through you to'my fellow-citizens of Rich
mond and every other county, my “sentiments in
regard to Nullification.”
If I understand ivliat its advocates in a neigh
boring State and tboso iu our own, mean by tbe
term—it is, that a State m its sovereign charac
ter, has ?. right to interpose and prevent ths exe
cution of a law of Congress, for instance, the
iaw regulating tho duties on imports,.and yet re
main a member of tho confederacy—and it i3 ur
ged in support of this, that as one of the original
parties to the contract, no umpire having been
chosen, that the State, ia its sovereign character,
has the right to judge of any infraction and of
the mode and measure of redress, and in the ap
plication of this rule, that if Cougress should pass
' any lav/ which any State should believe to he vi
olative of the original compact, such State has a
right to interpose and prevent its execution with
in its territory Grant this power, and the wheels
of the General Government are as securely lock
ed as its worst enemies could desire. Every law j
of a general nature passed by Congress, some!
one State might interposo its sovereignty and
prevent its execution—for it is not material
whether the law be unconstitutional or not, so a
State will consider it so; they would have a right
to treat it accordingly, aud from Louisiana to
New Hampshire one universal scene of confusion
might prevail*—Can such a state of tilings be de
sired? A State in its sovereignCharacter may do
what she pleases within her own territory,
provided, however, she does not interfere
with another sovereignty. There cannot be two
sovereigns over tho same subject, and as the lay
ing of duties on imports is delegated to the Gen
eral Coyernmout, it is sovereign for that purpose,
and the State may not exercise her sovereignty
to the prejudice of tbo other.
But to be more particular, its advocates have
contended that it is a conititutionai and peacea-
b!e remedy. There is nothing in tho constitution
dial can bo tortured into the giving such power.
—As to its being a peaceable remedy that would
depend entirely upon the General Government
wJiether or not it would enforce its laws or at
tempt it: il she should not attempt to enforce her
laws, then, to be sure, it would bo peaceable.—
But can any man, who has au ounce of human
sense, believe for one moment that the General
Government would fold its arms and permit its
revenue laws to be thus prostrated without an ef
fort to enforce them? No mau cho believe it—
But say its advocates, it is peaceable on the part
of the State, aud when the law is attempted to be
enforced, the Genera! Government is the ag
gressor, and the State would have the right of re
sisting force by force. So was the whiskey in
ty of the people.
3ds J nm opposed to a separation of the States,
unless wc ara driven to this expedient, by contin
ued robbery "pud relentless oppression; and rather
than support any measure whichl thought calcu
lated to weaken ihj3 Union, I would a< quiesce iu

perfectly satisfied that the charge was false—aud
he has frankly said to the Judge, that he would
take occasion to contradict it, whenever it should
be brought up in conversation before him. Yv'c
now have it in our power to do Judge Schley the
most ample justice in this matter. Though his
letter has been lying bj- ever since the latter part
of May, ns we diu not choose to come forward in
defence of so honorable, op- n and upright a man,
till ho should have been attacked.—We now gi\c
the writer in the Recorder, aud the people of
Georgia, the undisguised and clear views of Judge
Schley himself, written, to one of tho Editors of
this paper on the 23th May, 1632. What wili
his enemy’s say next? Wifi they call him a Ful-
Uficr? Should it become neceeSary we will pub
lish the Report drawn up hy Schley in the Le
gislature of J830, to which he alludes in his let
ter. But we think his letter sufficient to clap au
extinguisher upon this false rumor against him.—
The following is bis letter:

Dear Sir:-—I was in the act of soaring a letter

ths State of Georgia, when your letter of the 2Lt

had received a letter from a friend in Washingtou
City informing me that Major Stocks whilst there
on his way to the Baptist Convention iu Ncw
York stated that I sided with or approved of tho
decision of the Supreme Court of tho United
States iu the Case of Worcester, vs. the State
of Georgia. From what source Major Stocks
derived his information I know not; and as ho
was circulating a report founded: to say trie leas
of it, on a misconception or misrepresentation o* V
my opinions, I deemed it a duty I owed to him
and myssll, to undeceive him iu that regard, and
I have accordingly done so.
