Speech of Mr. Olay ol K •nlttcky. lie is
made to give what purports to he a quota

The fi st movement of Mr. Rives lias uls (
snlisfi•<! tin’ “Federal portion of the Whig ]
party.” Some of the wings have begun al
ready to sav,- that they cannot expect to keep <
him m their traces lor six months. The seiib
biers at Washington look upon’ his position ;
ts very ‘questionable,’since bis speechagainst ’
the D stributi >n. The Washington Cones- 1
p indent of the New York Express exclaims, !
that “he is in the negative upon every thing i
connected with o:ir land system.” ‘He op- j
poses distribution*’—although ‘it is one of ihe ‘
••an! na! measures with the new adniioistra- !
tion.’ The wrier wbimhglv adds, ‘l hope
Mr. Rives has been honest with those who

Mullum in Parvo. —The New York IleraM
money article- et Thursday last, compresses
in a nutshell, the predominant plans of the
Whig clique at Washington :
i lie accounts from Washington state that
an extra session will be held in May next, in
al probability, to Jay the foundation of the
financial policy of the new Administration.
I iie present policy appears to be to magnify,
in every possible way, the indebtedness of the
present government. For this purpose the
etters trom Washington are filled with the
most absurd statements of debts and deficien
cies, the amount oi which thev swell to near
19,000,000. This fancied debt is to he
made the apology for most giganJc schemes |
of speculation and taxation. The measures ;
to be discussed at the extra session are an i
increase of the tariff! a repeal of the sub- ;
treasury, a distribution of the public lands, a J
bankrupt law, and lastly, as if in mockery of j
ihe whole, to consider the means of diminish- j
mg the expenses of the Federal Government.,
They pretend there is a debt which must be :
iunded. This will he a nucleus for an indefi- ;
ni'e accumulation of the national debt. The
next pretence is, that the revenue is short
and mu:- he replenished. At the same mo
ment the proposition is made to diminish the
revenue still further, by tiie proceeds of the i
public lands, in order to holster the insolvent!
i -Tate governments. To increase the revenue
t is proposed to lay a tax upon silks and
wines, under the name of luxuries. If the do- |
licieticy were real, the method pointed out by j.
-Mr. Woodbury; in his last report* to increase ,
it by a duly on free goods, would be the only i
lime way of remedying it. The deficiency is, j
however, to he created by squandering away !
the proceeds of the public lands, and then to
he replaced by < ppression. The whole pro- \ :
ject is a vfist scheme of speculation at id stock- I
jobbing. The fallen credit of the Slates is to |i
be resuscitated by the Federal Government; ,
anew National Bank to he started, based (
upon a national debt, and the extravagance of i
the whole to he supplied by burdens upon tiie j
people in the shape of duties until they are j
ground to the earth like those of England.”
Against this monstrous combination of mea
sures, we are happy to see some of the “ Re
publican) portion of the Whig party” coming
forward, and manfully throwing themselves
into, the breach lor the good of the country.
Experiment in planting Corn. —A few
I weeks s:nce we published a communication
II roin a corresponded, giving the result of an
| experiment in planting corn by 11. Massey,
| Esq. of lies village. Mr. Massey called upon
j us the other day, to correct an important error
in said communication, and invited us person
ally to examine said field, which we did, and
now give the results of our observation.
Mr. Massey took of the seed corn wjth
vh c,'i lie planted the liek.l, a small quantity,
■hid soaked it in a solution of salt-nitre, com
monly cdilcal wdupeire, and planted five rows
wilh the seed trws prepared. The remainder
of the field, we believe, was planted by the
same individual: Now for the result. ’ The
live rows were untouched by the worms, while
the remainder of the field suffered severely.
No one who will examim the field can doubt
the efficacy of the preparation. He will be
astonished at the striking difference between
the five rows and the remainder of the field.
Here is a simple fact, which if seasonably
a'd generally known, would save many thous
ands ol dollars to the farmers of the country
tor corn. It is a fact, which should be uni
versally known, and is, in all probability, one
of the greatest discoveries of modern times,
in the neglected science of agriculture. At
all events, the experiment should be exten
sively tested, as the results are deemed cer
tain, while the expense is comparatively noth
ing.—-Y. Y. Standard.

Road Company ads. James Murray, in which!
the plaintiff (a fireman) had recovered a ver
dict of SISOO against the Company, for a per-1
sonal injury sustained by the negligence cfj
the Engineer. The principle settled by the j
Court is” that one’ dgeffit of a Rai. Road Com-!
pany cannot (like a passenger) sustain an ac- j
tion against the. Company lor an injury sustain-!
e.l bv the negligence of another agen% but |
his remedy must he against the individual. ’
.from whose negligence or unskiltulr.ess the .
injury resulted. It is proper to add that the j
Court, although they assumed the fact of nog
ii-.rence as found bv the Jur\, leaned to tiio
opinion that the finding had little to support it
in the evidence.
