Nothing is to us more disagreeable than
a newspaper controversy, and it is parti
cularly so when we have to come in col
lision with one whose feelings are cnllous
and who has little of character to lose,—
The man of the “ Statesman £,■ Patriot,"
desirous of picking a quarrel with some
body, 1ms charged us with want of consis
tency on the subject ol Domestic Manu
factures. In this, ns in other cases, we
are willing to lie judged by our readers.
While vve have recommended the manu
facture in families of every article that
can lie conveniently made, vve have stea
dily opposed the Tariff laws passed for
the exclusive benefit of Northern Manu
facturers, nnd which if persisted in will
make tlte people oftlie South tributary to
those of the North. The payment of this
tribute by us to bis Novv-Knglnnd breth
ren is precisely what he wishes to effect.
The Patriot mau speaks of “ affiliated
presses,” journeys to the North, &c. &c.
If vve were disposed to pry into his affairs,
wo tnigki ask, vvliat is the interest in, claim
our commit
tee, m regard to the reference from the
House of Representatives to inquire into
the expediency of abolishing the office of
tlm iiourd of inspectors, are of the opini
on, that the same cannot lie done without
manifest injury to the Institution, inas
much us it constitutes the only check to
the abuse of power which might be exer
cised to I lie injury oftlie convicts. Your
committee regret, that the Institution from
llie defect ol its internal police, ns vet has
not realized the expectation of its founders
in producing that reformation in the
"finds uud habits of the convicts whirl;
wits so fondly anticipated. The. most
prominent of these defects, we hold to lie
the promiscuous association of the con
victs : vice lias its shades, anil guilt its
colors. The grey head of infamy requires
the arm of omnipotence to work its re
formation ; and youth with present hopes j
deceived and n dark futurity in prospect,
tire too apt to look with complacency on
the demoniac smile of guilt.
Your committee would respectfully sug
gest that the uncertainty of the duration
ol punishment from the frequency of par
dons, tends in a measure to increase crime.
For it is in direct violation of the estab
lished maxim, that the certainty, more
than the severity of punishment, deters
from the commission of crime.

On motion of Mr. H'nffbrJ,

We might further enquire, whether the

or me policy of the Nation to wring Irom
own citizens the reasonable profits of
their industi j and enterprise, by' holding
them to the rigorous impoit of disastrous
ngiigenients. In March, 18‘H, a debt id
vventy-two millions of dollars, due by
chasers of the public lands, had ticeit-
ateil, which they were unable to pay.
In act of Congress, of tho'tftl of March,
'HI, came to their relief, and hns been
ucrccded by others ; the latest being the
of the 4th of May, lb‘-2tj, the indulgent
'revisions of which expired on the 4th ol

"ami to reduce tlm debt from the pur-
‘Itasers, to a remaining balance of about
iuar millions llireo hundred thousand dol
lars due; more titan three-fifths of which
art' fur lands within the State of Alabama.
I recommend to Congress the revival and
Cuntinuaiicc, for a further term, of the be
neficent accommodations to tlio public
tl'-litors, of that statute, nnd submit to
their consideration, in the same Spirit of
equity, the remission, under proper dis
criminations, of the forfeitures of partial
Payments on account of purchases of the
public ,-inds, so far ns to allow of their ap

There are various other subjects, of

no officers of the Penitentiary should be
allowed to furnish any oftlie raw materi

the officers oi' the Institution, but simply
believe it to be a h id precedent; and tlutt
abuses might in time, grow out of the
practice; and your committee would
therefore recommend the following reso
lution.
hesolved, That in future it shnll be the
duty oftlie Principal Keeper to make out

lie tu give thirty days notice in one or

and lei the same to the lowest bidder.
The bill to alter and amend the 2d sec.

The net of the General Assembly, to
ndmit certain persons to plead nml prac
tice in the several courts of law nnd Equi
ty in this State is with great reluctance,
returned without the Executive assent.
The only objection to the net is found
ed on this clause oftlie 17th section of
the 1st art. oftlie constitution, “ nor stiall
any law or ordinance pass containing any
matter different from what is expressed
in tlio title thereof." The second section
of tho not contains n provision that tho
persons therein named, who it seems ore
minors, shall on a certuin contingency he
their families: yet it is raised with less
uoiibln than any other crop; and any fe
male slave cun manufacture if. This
plant, also, is a native of Florida : its na
tural soil is the Pine Barrens."

Tam, Corn.—The Morgan, (Ohio) Sen
tinel contains the following notice of a
plantation of corn. A short time since on
the baud waters of Duck Creek, in this
county, we had our curiosity considerably
enlivened, by seeing a man engaged on
horseback, topping corn. The torn not
withstanding the dryness of the season,
had grown quite beyond the reach of the
tallest men among us when standing on
tho ground. The stalks were generally
from seven to nine feet high, and unusual
ly large. Another striking evidence, of
the fertility of our lands, is an inoculated
peach tree, of but two years growth,
which measures more than five inches in
diameter, and has branches pruporiionu-
bly large.
