Washington, Feb. I. 1844.
SENATE.
The Bill of Mr. McDuffie which has been the
■oecial order through the week was postponed
nil Monday next. Mr. Evans said he desired
me lime to reply to Mr. McDuffie, and was
.adyto goon with his remarks or -have the
’ ill postponed. The Senate having additional
■ minations under consideration, and other Ex
i utive matters, agreed to the postponement.
Mr. Colquitt presented the Resolutions of a
present Legislature of Georgia, revoking and
■ reacting the Resolutionsofa previous Legis
1. ure which censured the Hon. J. M. Berrien,
a d which refused to acknow edge him as their
ipresentative. The present Resolutions ex
ess the highest confidence in the integrity and
ility of Mr. Berrien, and the Legislature thus
. ,<e the eailiest opportunity to renderjustice to
injured man, and to restore the proper relation
isting between the Representative and his con
tuents. The Legislature also disavow any
lief in the doctrine of instruction. *
Mr. Colquitt, in presenting the resolutions,
marked that his colleague had a copy of them,
t ihat it had been thought more delicate for
mto present them. To justify himself and
e resolutions derogatory to Mr. Berrien, Mr.
>lquitt made some remarks in vindication of
sconduct and the Legislature whose act had
en revoked. To do this, Mr. Berrien was
r, ain assailed. Mr. C. referred to the manifes
to signed by the Whigs and by Mr. Berrien as
e of them. For the sentiments therein con
•> ned, the Legislature thought itself authorised
< sever the connection between the State and
their Senator.
The true line of action would seem to be in
‘
instructions were deemed to be disorganizing,
iae present Legislature, too, had found away .
■t praising a man without specifying any one j
wt which thev approved. The Legislature ot
■ eorgia never had and never would pass resolu- (
ions in favor cl a General Bankrupt Law, or
mfavorofa Protective Tariff, or theCistribu- |
lion of the proceeds from the sales of the Public
Domain. »,, 1
Mr. Berrien rose with some little feeling. All
around him would agree that he had been force I
mto this discussion, and that without any pro
vocation on his part. He knew not what were
he motives of his colleague on this occasion.
He regretted that he had seen tit to make the as
sault he had made upon him; but he had lived
n vain, and at this time of life, life itself would
je of no value, ifhecouid be moved by such
assaults. He-would refer to the People of
Georgia to vindicate his conduct here.
Three times had the people of his State spoken
in a manner not to be misunderstood, and if the
presen Legislature had been as mindtul ol what
his colleague regarded as a duty, as a previous
Legislature had been, his colleague would not
now be al any loss to learn his duty. But to
show how puerile was the conduct of the pre
vious Legislature in censuring him and in dis
solving ail connection with him as their repre
sentative he would state, that in ten days after
receiving the Resolutions ot censure he had
been called u on by other Resolutions to act
specially in behalf ofa public measure.
Mr. B. said he had declared his opinion pub
licly in regard to the doctrine of insti uction be
fore he was elected. Friend and foe had heard
it and now as before he declined to be governed.
’Mr. Colquitt said a few words byway of re
joinder, to which Mr. Berrien made no answer.
The Resolutions were then laid upon the table
and the subject passed from the Senate.
Mr. White of Indiana presented a memorial
for a grant of land to complete the Wabash and
Erie Canal. When completed it would be 460
miles long, and unite the waters of the Ohio
with Lake Erie. Mr. White enforced the pray
er of the memorialists in a very able s eech, in
■which he discussed the whole question of Inter
nal Improvements in Indiana, and hoping from
the development of the resources of his State to
procure the means of paying the entire debt of
Indiana.
The Senate then went into Executive session,
and closed the business ol the day with closed
doors.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Mr. McCauslen of Ohio addressed the House
upon the Report of the Select Committee to
amend the Rules and Orders by striking out the
21st Rule. Mr. McCauslen was opposed to the
Rule. He argued io regard to this District, that
the constitutional congressional control over it
amounted to no more than the power to make
laws. Congress had no right to abridge the
freedom of speech or of the press, and they had
liu«; 6 ht trinutjiiliv W. lutLifeic wjlh preparty in
this District. Much was said of the Abolition
ists, and Mr. Lloyd Garrison was quoted as
saying that ‘the Libertj’ Party” of New Eng
land was thoroughly unprincipled. In regard
to the 21'1 Rule, it was said that memorials
were nov. named by petitioners purposely to
evade the Rule of the House, and he believed
that if the rule was rescinded it would remedy
much of the evil complained of.
The effect of Abolition was commented upon
with severity at the same lime. Mr. McCaus
lin wished that this Congress would come to a
fair adjustment ot this subject, and it it was
properly understood by members he thought
there would be no difficulty of doing so. Mr.
McC. made reflections upon the Whig mem
bers and Whigs in connection with this sub
ject. The Whig party were represented as de
sirous of oppressing the poor white man and
favoring the negro. They were in favor also ot
assuming the debts of the Slates, and at the
same time advocated a Protective Tariff, and a
National Bank. The “ Hartford Convention”
also came in for a share of the discussion.—
Mr. McCauslen seemed to think also that it was
best to keep this subject distinct from any oth
er—as in its character it was perfectly distinct.
The floor was then given to Mr. Giddings ot
Ohio, who found it extremely difficult to have
his rights recognised.
There was a discussion of many minutes as
to who was entitled to the floor.
The Speaker said he first saw and recognised
the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Giddings.)
A gentleman from New;York claimed to have
addressed the chair before, and several cf his
friends sustained his right, while Mr. Drom
goole of Va. took an appeal from the decision
of the Speaker in behalf of it.
The appeal was withdrawn, and Mr. Gid
dings proceeded in his remarks. Mr. G. ex
pressed great gratification al the mild manner
in which this discussion had been carried on.
He hoped from it that ere long there might be a
mutual understanding and interchangeofopin
ions, and he honed the debate would be carried
onin a good spit it to the end. If it was not, it
should not be his fault. It was his intention to
sav nothing to wound the feelings ot any man
here.
Mr. G. was cut off in the midst of his intro
ductory remarks by the expiration of the morn
ing hour.
The Speaker announced the bill authorising
two hundred thousand dollars to be transferred
to the Bureau of Repairs from other bureaus to
be tn order.
'<r. Brown of Tenn, claimed the floor to offer
nduient previously offered.
I Mr. Davis of Indiana claimed it to move the
Prcvians Question.
Mr. Brown s title was the best, and he suc
i ceeded in offering his amendment, which was
to recommit the bill and to amend it by requir
ing that hereafter there should be a diminution
I of the amount appropriated to the extent of the
amount now granted. Mr. Brown advocated
his amendment very biiefly, and
■ Mr. Barnard spoke in opposition to the Bill
unless it should be amended. He preferred a
new appropriation altogether, and considered
the power of transfer given to the Headot a De
partment a very dangerous one.
The Previoijs Question was then moved, and
the House brought to a vote upon the amend
ment, which wag carried by yeas and nays—
• yeas 105, noes 58.' The bill was then read a
’ third time.
Mr. Vinton demanded the yeas and nays up
on the bill, which were ordered and the bill was
i passed. Yeas 101, nays 68.
The title was then read and the bill pronounc
ed to be passed.
I To make assurance doubly sure however,
Mr. J. R. Ingersoll, as a friend of the biP, iro
ved a reconsideration, upon which the Pre
vious Question was moved and seconded. The
bouse of course declined to sanction the motion
and the b II was sent to the Senate.
A resolution was offered calling upon the
President of the United States, it not incompat
ible with the public interest, to communicate
all correspondence on file between our own and
the British Government upon the subject of the
Colony of Liberia by Mr. Black of Georgia.
The resolution was not received.
The House on motion of Mr. McKay, ofN.
C., went into Committee of the Whole on the
state ot the Union.
Mr. Campbell, of S. C., was called to the
Chair.
Mr. Owen, of la., moved to take up the Res
olutions in relation to the Oregon Territory,’
(offered by himself and reported upon adversely
by the Committeeon Foreign Relations ) The
Committee by the close vote of 60 to 59 declin
ed, arid the Committee then took up the Indian
Appropriation Bill, which was read through at
first in all its sections and then by clauses.
Most of the different items of the bill seemed
to give general satisfaction, but Mr. Giddings
moved to strike out one provision which related
to some negroes who were to be paid for by
treaty.
The bill was further debated by Messrs. Mc-
Kay, Dromgoole and Payne; but the Commit
tee rose and reported the bill, without taking
the question on it, and the House adjourned.
February 2.
In lhe.Senate, after the reading of the Journal,
Mr. Barrow announced the death of his col
league, the Hon Alexander Porter, and spoke at
some length in praise of the virtues, patriotism
and ability of the deceased, and ot his eminent
services in behalf ot the country.
Mr. B. then offered the following resolutions:
Resolved, That the Senate has received with
deep sensibility the information of the death of
the Hon. Alexander Porter, a Senator elect from
the State of Louisiana, and, in token of their
high respect for the memory of the deceased, the
members of the Senate will wear crape on the
left arm as mourning for thiriy days.
Resolved, That, as a further mark of respect
for the memory of the Hon. Alexander Porter,
the Senate do now adjourn.
These resolutions were seconded by Mr. Ben
ton—who improv d the opportunity 'also to in
dulge in high encomiums upon the character of
the deceased statesman—when the Senate adopt
ed the resolutions, unanimously, and adjourn
ed.
In the House, after so'ne unimportant mat
ters had been disposed of, the Orders of the Day
were called, and the House proceeded to consider
the reports in reference io the Rules, &c.
Mr. Giddings concluded his remarks: The
floor was then given to Mr. Hammett, and the
subject put over until next day.
Mr. Slidell, of Lou., then announced thedeath
ot the late Senator Porter, in very appropriate
terms, ami in conclusion, offered resolutions
similar to those adopted in the Senate.
Mr. Vance, of Ohio, seconded these, and in a
briefspeech paid a merited compliment to the
mem ry of the deceased.
The resolutions were adopted, and the House
adjourned.
From the N. O. 'Tropic.
Noble Sentiments! —ln his speech on the
bill to refund Gen. Jackson’s fine, Mr. John
Slidell, the Representative of the Ist Congres
sional,District ofLouisiana,uttered the following
language:
‘•Hall was not a brave man—he envied Jack
son for his brilliant display ol a quality wjjich
he did not possess. I say he was not a brave
man; for every one residing in New Orleans,
who in the invasion of 1814—15, possessed suf
ficient strength to carry a musket, and, was not
found under arms to repel the enemy, stands
self-condemned as a POLTROON AND A
COWARD.”
Such is the manner in which Mr. Slidell
long since riiouK!ere3*iWts‘ - tns.4l—flrat
gentleman’s constituents can read it without (eel
ing their cheegs tingle with shame for their rep
resentative, we confess our entire ignorance of
the people of Louisiana. Among civilized peo
ple the grave is held sacred, and when a man
lasses to the silent bourne, the mantle of cliar
ty, if not of oblivion, should be allowed to cov
er his faults and his tollies. Not so thinks Mr.
Slidell. With him the grave has no sanctity,
the tomb no immunity. In his anxiety to offer
incense to the living, he scruples, not to outrage
the dead.
Alas for Louisiana! Alas for humanity!
when death affords no cessation of hostility!
General Jackson has reached the highest niche
in the temple of fame—he has had honor and
office bestiowed upon him in sufficient quanti
ties to surfeit any moderate taan, but his friends
are not yet satisfied, They have followed such
of the living as dared oppose him in his high
career, with the ferocity ot blood hounds, but
their vengeance is not yet sated. The appetite
increases with what it feeds on, and other vic
tims must be provided. The graves of the ho
nored dead are now torn open, and their mould
ering bones exhibited to the. public gaze, their
follies exaggerated, their faults magnified, their
memories branded with dishonor, and for what?
To minister to the passions of a poor old man,
whose vindictive feelings glow as fresh and
vigorous as in the heyday of youth and ambi
tion.
Shame! shame! upon the unworthy actors
in this disgraceful drama! Were Judge Hall
a’ive. and able to confront his accusers, we
should not offer one word in his defence. Gen
tlemen might call him “ poltroon and coward,”
until their throats grew hoarse with repeating it:
they might call him knave, “traitor,” “alien”
and “drunkard,” he would need nodefence from
us. Dominick A. Hall, was able at all times
to defend himself from all enemies, whether
open or concealed. But he is nowno more than
as much “trash as you can grasp thus,” and it
is brave, chivalrous and honorable to call him a
“ poltroon and a coward!” “ Dead men tell no
tales,” nor do they resent insults, and hence it is
not only very valorous but very safe to heap ob
loquy upon his name!
But we deny that Judge Hall was a “cow
ard!” The history of his quarrel, if we may
use such a term, with Gene.al Jackson, estab
lishes this fact conclusively. Does any man be
lieve that a “ coward” would have braved the
wrath ot Andrew Jack«on ? Would a “ cow
ard” have broughtthat fiery chieftain into Court,
when he was surrounded by an army flushed
with victory, an array mad with joy and ready
to do his bidding, even though it had been to
hang Judge Hall upon a lamp-post I Would,
we ask again, a. coward have brought him into
court, and tine.d him lor contempt? By no means.
But Judge Hall was no coward, and this country
has produced no nobler specimen of cool, un
daunted oow age, than be displayed upon that
occasion. He was a feeble old man—he had
no army at his heels—he had no myrmidons to
do his behests—but armed with the power and
majesty of the law, knowing his duty, he dared
perfi rm it. He performed it nobly, fearlessly,
as bi came a man and an American Judge, arid
neither General Jackson or his army cou'.d have
Lightened him from his course. Time-servers
and sycophants may defame him, but the name
ot Dominick A. Hall will be remembered and
honored long after his calumniators have sunk
into contempt and oblivion.
Short, but Pithy.—The Yazoo City Whig
published at the city of Yazoo, Mississippi, has
the following pithy paragraph. It sets forth in
a few words, and in a very happy manner, a
portion of the advantages which have resulted
from the Whig Tariff of 1842, and we are the
more pleased to copy it as it comes from a part
I of the country where erroneous views, with
' respect tothe effect of the protective principles,
> have unhapply too long prevailed :
“ What has it done ?—The Whig principle
of Protection has made us exporters instead of
importers ot manufactured cottons; exporters in
stead of importers cf calicoes; exporters instead
j. of importers of mixed cloths ; and importers in
, stead of exporters of Specie. Why then
should hard money men oppose a Protective

AGRICULTURAL.
From the Southern Cultivator.
ADDRESS
Delivered before the Hmcock Planters’ Clvb, by
Eli H. Baxter, Esq , Nov. 3, 1843.
Concluded from our last.
How few planters know how much com can
be raised from one acre of land,.well manured
and well cultivated. In some sections of the
United States they raise 100 bushels ot corn,
and 35 bushels of tvheat per acre. In Han
cock. there are some planters that do not gather
100 bushels of corn from 20 acres, and tour or
five bushels of wheat per acre. It is not sur
prising then that we have a decaying popula
tion. The State makes investments in stocks
and internal improvement, with the view of re
alising interest. What interest, I would ask,
has she received upon her bank stock and works
of internal improvement? Mill ions would not
cover her losses. Twenty-five thousand dollars
expended annually in the way of premiums to
agriculture, wonld treble your productions and
population. Your taxes woul dbe trebled with
out increasing its burden. ’Whose money do
you ask for? Your own. Who pays the tax?
Every cent of it comes out of the planter; for
the profits of the mechanic and merchant are
but profits upon the labor </l the husbandman.
Do not be put off with the hollow pretence of the
politician, that the State i s in debt, and injus
tice will be done the public creditors. It is the
most efficient step that, the State can take to fill
her treasury and pay her debts. If the Legisla
ture refuses this pitta nee, make it a question at
the elections. Ifyo'u would take half the in
terest in this matter that you do in the patty
questions ot the day, which are of little or no
interest tothe publi c welfare, success would be
certain to attend yo nr efforts.
Agricultural pi ipers and periodicals have
been considered, by all intelligent men, as a
means well calcudated‘o bring about a reforma
tion in agriculture. We patronize, with a libe
ral hand, the political papers ol the day, that
cost three times as muchperannum as the Cul
tivator and Farmer's Register, but which do
not afford ha ls the instruction. One of the
benefits arising' from the circulation of these
papers is, the increase of the public taste for
the business of agriculture. The student will
make but littke progress in the sciences, if he
has no relish, for them; the student of law and
medicine ha<J better abandon them, if they take
no delight i'a the study, their minds will doze
and wandeo, while their eyes and lips drag la
zily over ’dieirtext books; the rich, successful
and enterp rising merchant takes as much plea
sure in sell ing a yard of tape as the costly cash
mere—to ’ make a successful farmer, we must
delight in the bleating of the lamb, the lowing
of the cow, and the neighing of the horse; we
mr.st deliight in the collecting and applying of
manures, and in the growing crop. These pa
pers are trail of instruction that is substantial
and profitable. To the cultivator of the soil
they are of incalculable benefit; they come la
denedtoyou, a‘. a cheap rate, with the learning
of the chemist, the botanist, geologist and philo
sopher; they bring to you, in a condensed form,
the experience and lea ning of ten thousand
heads, upon all the subjects connected with ag
riculture; they lay before you the agricultural
experience of every age, climate, soil and coun
try; they contain intellectual treats for the scho
lar as well sis the illiterate farmer, they contain
fine specimens of eloquence, in the addresses to
agricultural societies, by the most distinguished
men of Europe and America; they are a valua
ble dispensatory, without the unintelligible tech
nicalities of the profession; they contain valua
ble and instructive matter for the housewife; in
fine, they are literary omnibuses, well ladened
with all the choice productions and discoveries
of the age. These papers want patronage; they
are not conducted by their proprietors with a
view of personal benefit; they are the disinter
ested labors ot the philanthropist for the benefit
of his fellow creatures. No family should be
without one; they are the cheapest and most
valuable periodicals of the age; no one will
ever look back with regret to the money expend
ed for the Southern Cultivator or Farmers’ Re
gister.
I come now to the discharge of the most im
portant and interesting part of my duty—and I
regret that it has not devolved upon one more
skilled and experienced—the improvement and
cultivation of our soils. I shall not fatigue
your attention with suggestions as to the best
mode of planting and cultivating our lands,
or ly so far as it is calculated to improve or de
teriorate. We could all make enough if we
had good soils to do it upon. The question
about which we all feel the deepest interest is,
the practicability of renovating and restoring
our old worn out lands to more than their origi
ocJtTpyTflrwtM .
ican continent; and the oldest ot us will See the
day when the waves of emigration that have
been so long rolling Irom us, will set back to
these abandoned lands. That i can be done, I
feel as confident as that we shall have day and
night,springand summer, seed time and harvest.
The agricultural statistics of this country and
Europe, are full of the most encouraging facts.
Many portions of Europe that have been in con
stant cultivation lor more than a thousand years,
instead of being exhausted, have increased in
fertility. Flanders, which is represented to I e
a sandy beach, has been so much improved that
it is astonishing the world with the quantities of
its products. Judge Buel, of New York, has
imparted to a pine barren a fertility, that is sur
passing in its productions the lich lands of Ten
nessee and Kentucky. Lands that some years
si ce could have been bought at fourdollars per
acre, cannot now be bought for one hundred and
thirty-five dollars per acre. But we need not go
to Europe or New York to be satisfied that we
can improve our lands. You can be convinced
of it in your own State, and in your own coun
ty. Mr. Thos. Whaley, a successful and intel
ligent farmer, is manuring annually every acre
that he plants in corn and cotton. From fields
that twenty years since were turned out as ex
hausted, he is now gathering luxuriant crops.
Wi have only to commence the work, and suc
cess will attend the effort. We must make it a
business, and be as faithful in attending to it as
m planting and cultivating our crops. The first
tiling to be attended to in improvment is, to pre- 1
serve our broken lands from being washed by
the heavy rams. The first step in lifts part of 1
the business is, to arrest the gullies and clay 1
galls, which may be aptly compared to a can
cerous affection upon the human system; they
will, unless arrested, continue to dilate and wi- 1
den, until the whole field is denuded of soil.— 1
Ditching, when dene upon correct princij les,
will effectually prevent their formation. But, 1
unfortunately, all our fields are alrejdy gullied. 1
Before we proceed to ditch, these gullies should 1
be filled up and leveled. This can bedona with 1
little labor. The pine brush answersan admi- 1
rable purpose for this object; and if they are not 1
convenient, the fence row and tne swamp will '
fumishyou with an abundant material.
Ditches usually cross the gullies at right an- '
gles, and it they are not filled before the ditch
is made, the water that they collect in times of
heavy rains, will form such a body'hat it will
breakover the embankment of the 1 itches op
posite the mouth of the gully. I has? found it
less difficult to fill up these gullies w'th brush,
than to make the embankment high aid strong
enough to resist the volume of water that col
lects in them. Every farmer in this pat ot the
State, should set about ditching his planation.
Appropriating one week with all hams, with
horse power and the necessary implemens, and
you would ditch the whole plantation. They
afterwards require but little attention to keep
them in order. The ditches should be wits but
not deep, with descent enough to carry off the
water, without washing them deeper than hev
t\ere made. Two inches every 12 or 15 fee ac
c.irdingto the length, is sufficient. Theysh'ilil
never be made bi the eye; the lei el and pl mb
should indicate the course and fall.
The clay galls, those offensive looking ulers
upon our fields, can only be arrested by bing
coated first with sand. To apply manure tj
them without sand, is a wasted labor an.ot
manure. To restore them to sufficient fertf ty
for cultivation is, in my opinion, too costly tebe
profitable; but a small quantity ot sand scarr
ed upon their surface, and then covered wth
brush, will arrest their further expansion, ad i
nature will soon set them out with pine, whth j
will become valuable for timber or luel; or ym !
nay set them out with the plum tree, which wll
soon restore them to their original fertility.
In manuring there is a great want of sysler..
We shall never do much at it until we make t
a regular business; setting apart so much tine
of each year, with all our hands, to this branci
of the business. If we will but economize otr
materials tor making manure, we should hav
an abundance, not only to manure cro, s, but t>
keep in progress a permanent improvement 4
our lands. 1 am clearly convinced, that if w
would but economize our cotton seed, and appf
them jukieiously, every planter who make
four bags of cotton to the hand, would have t
a plenty to manure in the hill, his entire crop <f
corn. This valuable manure is wasted in plan
ing and in application. They should never b
applied to wueat, as it takes too many to tit
acre to do much good. We loose immense
quantities of manure lor the want of fencing ou
sheep, hogs and cattle. The most of lai mers
pen their cattle, but there is no regularity about
it, and instead of changing them at regular pe
riods, they are permitted to occupy tne same
spot tor the entire year, when by moving them
ten times the quantity of land could be as pro
fitably manured. Vast quantities of valuable
material for making manure might be saved by
throwing obstructions across the bottoms and
small branches, to catch, at particular places,
the vegetable matter and alluviums that are
carried down in times of hard rains. The ma
nure made by sheep and swine is as valuable
as that made by the cow; yet there is not one
tanner in an hundred that makes any manure
Irom them.
We plant too much. Every man should re
solve not to plant a line of cotn unless be ma- i
nures it; f rune acre well planted and well cul
tivated, will make twice as much es en sere ot l
the same quality of land badly planted and halt
cultivated; and a little manure will treble the
products.
Ever}’ planter should have a meadow or pas
ture ground, so situated that his plow horses
may feed upon it at night. 1 have ascertained
that a plow horse will do better when he can
have pasture ever}’ night, with two-thirds food,
than he will do kept up all the time with corn
without allowance. With this pasture we can
do with one half of the corn; for when the horse
is not at work he can do without any corn.
Too little attention is paid by planters in this
State, to the character ot their soils in planting
their crops. Upon every plantation there is
some poition better adapted lor cotton than oth
ers. Such fields or spots ot land should be re
served exclusively for cotton; alternating them
with crops of small grain instead of with cot
ton, corn and then small grain. The same
course should be observed with lands favorable
to corn. Land should never be planted two
years in succession in cotton, unless they are
level lands, which should always be taken into
consideration in setting apart particular fields
for cotton. The surface of the cotton field be
ing bare all winter an- summer, it is much
more subject to be washed by hard rains than if
in corn.
There being but little forest and no swamp
land, it has become very costly to raise pork.
To superscede the necessity of feeding so much
corn to hogs, I would advise the sowing ot rye
and oats for them in winter and spring; and as
an additional substitute, I would recommend
every corner ot fence that is permanent upon
the plantation, to be set with the plum, peach
and apple tree, which, if judiciously selected,
would furnish rood for your hogs from May un
til November.
Upon most of our plantations timber for
fencing has become scarce, and where it is plen
ty it is inconvenient. The repair of our fenc
ing has become one of the most laborious duties
in cur agricultural labors. The time that in
tervenes between the laying by and gathering of
the crop, and between the gathering and the
planting, which we should appropriate to the
collection and making of manure, is devoted to
the repair of fences. It has become to us highly
desirable to adopt some system that will save
labor in this department of our business. From a
suggestion in the Cultivator, I am satisfied that
a great deal of labor can be saved by ditching.
The time employed in cutting, mauling and
hauling rails to the places where wanted, would
make ditches which would be permanent, and
require no repairs upon our descending grounds,
as the rains would keep them from filling up.
Ditches, with the embankments made with the
earth taken from them, with halfthe railsaround,
would make a fence that would answer as good
a purpose as the best of fences, made in the usu
al manner.
I would suggest to every farmer the value of
agricultural memorandums—such as a note of
the time and manner of planting different fields;
the quantities of manure applied; the character
of the seasons, and their productions. Indepen
dent of the pleasure which we will derive from
it as a paper of reference in after times, it will
constitute a sort of agricultural thermometer,
that will tell us at the close of each year, the
progress we have made in the great work of re
novating our soils.
Before we can make much progress in agri
cultural improvement, I consider it of primary
importance to create in the mind of the land
holder, an attachment to the soil upon which he
lives. The plan which I propose for its attain
ment, has been suggested by an act which you
will find in your own s'atute book. The mem
ber who introduced that measure is deserving
of the highest commendation, and the act itself
will be considered, in all time to come, as the
brightest spot in the legislation of the State. I
allude to the act which exempts from sheriff’s,
sale, the mansion house of the debtor anil 20
acres ot land. 1 unhesitatingly recommend to
the agricultural class, a law exempting from
sale all the lands of the debtor connected with
his mansion, provided it does not exceed five
hundred acres. To make it prospective, will re
move all constitutional objections. You need
not shrink back, startled at the boldness of the
proposition. It will be the law of the State
within a short period of time. It will rereive a
cheering response from every landholder in the
State. The professional politician, who is al
ways upon the watch lor the popular current,
will embrace it, and it will carry him into pow
er. It is a cord that will vibrate pleasantly up
on the feelings of every husband and father; it
will smoothe tbeir dying pillows, for the widow
and orphan will have a home! It is a constitu
tional and inherent feeling of every man to de
sire a home; it is his constant aspiration. Who
has not heard the song, “Home, Sweet Home,”
and not felt electrified at the truth and beauty of
the sentiment, “Though everso humble there is
no place like home?” What would so effectu
ally attach men to reflection
that they have a home, a permanent
home that no vicissitudes can take from them;
a home in old age; and, above all, a home lor
their destitute widows and helpless orphans.
These considerations cannot fail to give them,
hallowed as they are, an increased endearment
that they never possessed before. In a politcal
favorable consideration oi * dftf ir
will effectually arrest the decay of population,
and we should no longer see the tide of popula
tion rollwg out of our borders; it will invigo
rate and stimulate the arm of industry. The
poor man of every pursuit will be encouraged
to increased industry and economy, to procure
the comforts of a permanent home. It will
bring into action every motive and inducement
that can prompt men to beautify their homes and
erlilize their lands. ,
It is the labor of the husbandman that fills the
granaries from which all are fed. Depress his
business, and the hammer of the mechanic be
comes silent fur the want ot employment; the
machinery of the manufacturer ceases from its
labors; and the sails ot commerce are no long
er unfurled to the breeze, but idly flap at their
moorings. The manufacturer works short time,
and no serious inconvenience is felt by society;
but let agriculture cease from her labors and
what would be the ‘consequence? Industry
would stagnate in all its branches; society would
be overwhelmed with the distress of famine,
and dessolation would overspread the laud.
■ Judge Buel, in an address delivered before the
Agricultural Society of New Jersey, expresses
in beautiful and admirable style, the influence
which agriculture exercises upon the political
institutions of every country:—“l need not re
mind this enlightened assembly of the impor
tant bearing which the condition of our agri
culture, and our agricultural societies, have and
ever must have upon our political destinies.—
The farmers of our country will be the last
class to be corrupted by the smiles and blan
dishments of power; the last class to part with
republican habits, to degenerate under the bane
ful and enervating influence of extravagance,
dissipation and fashion. The higher the condi
tion of agricultural improvement, the greater
will be the intelligence and independence ot the
agriculturist, and the stronger his inclination
and influence in perpetrating the virtues of our
revolutionary fathers, and in maintaining in
their purity the institutions which they estab
lished, and in defending them, if need be, from
foreign and domestic foes. Cherish their inter
est above all others; enlighten it, encourage it,
honor and reward it, for it is the palladium of
our freedom.”
All must acquiesce in the correctness of these
sentiments. Their truth is established by the
history of every state of ancient anil modern
times. We all admire and adore out form of
government—it is the perfection of human wis
dom—we cannot improve it; but every patriot
is anxious for its perpetual preservation. Amer
ican citizens should keep Iresh in their recol
lections,-the opinion of the philosophic histori
an, that there was a point of elevation beyond
which States could never go, and that when
they reached that point, they could not remain
stationary, but began'to decline until they were
finally blotted from the catalogue of nations.—
The history of States would seem to establish
the truth of the historian’s opinion. How mor
tilying to the patriot and statesman! All the
republics and kingdoms of ancient timeshave
passed away. “Where are their cloud caped
towers, their gorgeous palaces?” Science and
the arts are important to preserve the.n. No
one can now tell the spot where Demosthenes
poured forth the thunders of his eloquence, to
awaken his countrymen to a sense of their dan
ger from the usurpations of Philip. Where is
the Senate and the Forum, where Cicero so re
peatedly, in strains ol matchlessteloquence, ad
dressed his enraptured countrymen. Many of
the states of Europe are manifestly upon the de
cline Spain is nearly consunv dby those in
i ternal fires that have been kindled and kept con
j stantly burning by the collision of her domestic
factions. France, after the battle of Waterloo,
but for the jealousy ot neighboring States, would
have ceased to exist as a nation. History
teaches us that science and eloquence, the arts
of peace and war, cannot give stability to States;
that the popular axiom in politics, that “intelli
gence is the life ol liberty,” is not entirely true,
if we are to understand from it, that it can es
ablish and preserve free institutions. It is au
mportant auxiliary, but there is another ele
nent more necessary to the preservation of the
public liberty than intelligence—it is public vir
ile. Ido not mean public virtue as taught by
stme of the schools, but virtue founded on that
ptrfect and sublimated morality first proclaim
ei from Mount Sinai, and afterwards taught by
tie illiterate fisherman. Public virtue is parti
ctiarly necessary to give stability to free insti
luions. In popular governments, where every
ciizen participates in its administration, each
shmld possess the qualification necessary for
! thi performance of this high privilege—each
1 ciizen should be intelligent, moral and inde-
pffldent.
Vou will never witness the mortifying spec
taJe at your elections, of seeing the unprinci
pld demagogue dragging up to the polls the in
detendent land holder. If the people of free
Sates are virtuous and independent, they need
hare no alarm for the elevation or depression of
paticular parties. Confiding in the truth, the
gret republican truth, that man is capable of
sei government, it is immaterial to which poli
tied party the people confide its administration!
Beng virtuous and independent, they will ne
cesarily have faithful and capable agents, who
I wi. be hurled from power so soon as they cease
Ito tdminister it in its purity. Agriculture is
ipa icularly favorable to the improvement of
i thee high qualities. The husbandman asks no
‘ favr but from his maker; he asks no favor of
!t the government, but the protection of life, liber
ety and propeily. Interest makes him the Irienr
of the laws, and to him the most hateful ant
- detestable of all despotisms is in the govern
s ment where the law is not supreme.
i Employment is the great preservative of mor
i als. Whatgtvesso much employment to mar
, as agriculture? Where there is plenty of em.
i ployment there are no paupers, and but little
i crime. Every thing around ihe husbandman is
! calculated to’improve and refine his virtuous
feeling. He can make every thing in nature
> subservient to his moral improvement, “from
’ the loud peal of thunder to the chirp ol the in
i sect; from the lofty oak to the spear of grass.’ 1
- “He can find tongues in trees, books in mur-
- muring brooks, sermons in stones, and God in
i everything.” Whocan look upon the rich har-
- vest field, without having nis thoughts elevated
■ to Heaven? Who can witness the ceaseless re
! turn of the seasons, ansi mark their delightful
> influence upon the animal and vegetable part oi
: creation, without feeling a sense of gratitude
> and love for that Being who has been pouring
> upon his creature, ever since the creation of the
world, one continued stream ol mercies and
i blessings. These associations can but refine
1 and purify their affections, and enforce the obli
gation of that great moral precept, the founda
, tion of all public and private virtue, “love and
good will to man.”
i The want of this great element is signally
manifest in the history of the French Revolu
. tion. The reader ot history, after he closes the
I last chapter of the French revolution, will in
voluntarily pause and inquire, why a revolu
tion, kindled through the joint influence ot op
pression and the spirit of liberty, which pro
gressed so successfully, and promised so much
for the liberty and happiness of man, should
Rave terminated so disastrously. It was clear
ly not tor the want of intelligence, civilized re
finement, and capacity for war. At its com
mencement and during its progress, France was
the great centre of politeness and refinement;
she was illuminating the world with the brilli
ancy of her discoveries in chemisty and philo
sophy; the splendor of her military achieve
ments were electrifying and startling all Europe;
the great genius oi her captain prostrated and
leveled mountains, and transferred his legions
and munitions ot war from kingdom to king
dom, as by magic; he planted his standard in al
most every slate in Europe, and the French Ea
gle perched in triumph upon it. History has
disclosed the cause without assigning it as the
reason. Intoxicated with her success, France
declared there was no God! All moral restraints
were removed. The virtuous citizen was os
tracised, and the government of the country de
volved upon the sansculotte of the city and town.
Atheism let loose upon society all the bad pas
sions of the human heart; avarice, lust, revenge,
envy, malice and cruelty, riotted upon the lives,
property, rights' and liberties of her people.—
The streets cf Paris become slipery with The
blood of her people. Humanity and reason
stood aghast, intimidated and silenced by the
fierce cry of the infuriated populace. Thus we
have seen a revolution, ths most remarkable in
modern times, ibrthe want of this great preser
vative element, public virtue, terminating with
out accomplishing any thing for the ameliora
tion of man. In fact, the example of the French
revolution has been a drag-chain upon the spirit
of liberty, and has thrown back for a century,
the march of free and popular institutions.
I cannot permit the occasion to pass without
adverting to an incident in the American revo
lution, that illustrates the strong attachment
which the possession of a home gives to inde
pendence and freedom. At the darkest hour of
the American revolution, when every patriot
was almost despairing, the British General issu
ed the proclamation, offering freedom and pro
tection to all those who would come forward
and subscribe the declaration of allegience, a
person familiar with the scenes of those days
says, “That even members ol Congress, men of
worth and influence, many who had held office,
in despair gave up and subscribed the declara
tion; but that the men in the middle classes stood
firm. And who constituted that middle class
that stood firm in that eventful and trying crisis?
They were mostly the small landholders! ’
It then becomes the highest duty or the State
to offer any inducement for the occupation and
improvement of the soil; to make, if practica
ble, every citizen a landholder; for if ever the
political institutions of this country are placed
in jeopardy and peril by an enemy, either for
eign or domestic, the great mass of landholders
will be the first to rally to their rescue, and the
last to abandon them.

<1 REWARD!—STOP
q?±,VWTHE MURDERER.!!
Whereas, information has been given, that a
most atrocious murder was committed on the
night of the 7th Inst., by one ROBERT BURNS,
on the body of ED WARD W. COLLIER; and it
appearing that said Burns has fled from justice,
I do hereby, with the authority vested in me by
the City Council, offer a re ward of Five Hundred
Dollars for the apprehension and delivery of the
said Burns to the Jailor of Richmond county.
Burns is about 5 feet 10 inches high, between
35 'nd 43 years of age, and weighs 150 to 170
lbs; his right cheek bone has been broken in—
his nose has also been mashed, which has ren
dered it what is eommonly called a pug nose—he
has quite a scar, about two inches in length, run
ningdown his left temple—was quite bald on the
top of his head—light blue eyes inclining to grey
—his hands are also scarred on the inside—is a
bony, athlete looking man—rather stoop and
square shouldered—speaks at times very politely
and pleasantly, and when he walks, his toes turn
out very much, and when standing, this trait is
very striking. He is also known to be afflicted
with Fistula Ani.
He was for a considerable lime an agent and
runner for the opposition omnibus and line of
stages, and more recently a bar-keeper at the
United States Hotel of tiffs city, and a runner with
the omnibus to solicit passengers for that hotel
from the Railroads—from which circumstances,
it is presumed that he is known to a great many
persons by sight, who do not know him by name.
He had on when he left Augustus cap of cloth or
leather, blue coat, and light mixed pantaloons.
