THE WHIG POLICY.
For the next fuuryeursjf wc live to olirervclhen^
we aboil have enough to do a* a public journalist,
to object to the meaiurc* of tho "Harrison und lie.
form” Patty.
Already tho “QoJIIko Daniel” ho* nverrod tho
consiiiuiinnality of tho Guncral Government sup*
porting tho State*, in oilier wold*,State*, sovereign
tind indepondeni, nto to look to tho coffer* of tho
people of the Union fur tho mean* to carry on their
respective government*,
llow i* this to be done? Dy toxing the citizen
unnecessarily, end thu* swelling tho sluices of tho
Notional Treasury, that tho *urj»lu* of a nation’*
treasure may be wasted in visionary scheme*, or
returned, after months of debate, to tho Stato gov
vjrnmonl*. Dy this operation, iho people of tho
“Stales oro unnecessarily deprived by tuxation, of mo
ney they need, not that it moy bo placed in tho Na
tional Tre isury, to respond to tho wants of ihe Na-
tion, but to lie idle until voted back to tho State*,
If not exhausted in unconstitutional projects.
The great Indebtedness of some of the State*
seems to threaten an annihilation of that indopen.
detico of action, which should designate tho courso
of a pooplo, free from extraneous influences.
Federalist* will naturally encourage that Stnto
dependence which must neccssnrily ensue from a
resort by the Representatives of tho people of tho
■States to the National coflers, for thn*o funds neces-
■ary to administer tlioir respective Government*.
Wo nro in favor of every State bearing her own
expenses. A tariff for revenue only, will place in
tho Treasury sufficient for th« expenses ofnn econo
mical Government, such ns ours should he.
By economy we moan not parsimony, for our
Navy, under a proper system of organization, enn
l>c so increased as to insure, at tho hour of need,
ovety protection to our extended commerce ; nnd.
wlmt may be oxpended to secure our right* as a
nation will not bo a breach of economy.
Congress in laying nnd collecting taxes, is bound
by tho Constitution to make tlioin uniform through
out the United States, and yet under tlio measures
which aro advocated by tho lending Whig politi
cians, a high tariff must bo the ro»uh of distributing
tho proceeds of tho pnblio lands among tho Status,
a fnvorito schema of Mr. Clay.
Some of iho Whigs in Congress Imro already
advocated a National debt of $5,000,000 instead of
authorizing for n limited period tho i»*uo of Trea
sury Notoi, which can bo liquidated from ilia re
venue to accrue in the cm rent year. Such n courso
on tho part of the friend* o’* * Harrison nnd Reform"
shows that they desire some excuse for imposing on
tho country another National Dobt, nnd it will not
bo their fault, wo opine, if it docs not become per
manent. Wo Invito attention to the Washington
let tor from tho Mercury.

Dr. Olin, whose ill health has constrained his rosig

Important to Steamboat Ownen.—A caso op
some Importance in steamboat nwnors has been re
cently decided in Cincinnati. A suite was brought
by one of the ownor* of the Mtuolle,—tho ill fated
boat whose oxplution a fur years ngo caused so tor
riblo a destruction of liumnn life—to recover of an
insurnneo company tho amount of o policy for some
four thouand dollar*.
Tho defendant* contended that tho boat was lost
by tho negligence of the insured or his ogent*. and
that this should dischorgo the contrnct of insurance.
They contended that iho explosion oflmclf was pro
•umptlve evidence of negligence, nnd that the bur
den of proof lay upon the pluintifls to show that there
was no negligence. The plaintiffs urged on the
other hand that tho in*uror assumed the rl*k of t x
plosion ns one of tho perils incident to stnnmboat
navigation, and that the explosion was not of itself
presumptive evidenco of neglect, so as to throw it
upon Iho insured to prove tlmt <there was no ne
gleet. They denied that negligent wns an excuse
to ditclmnge the insurer unless it was willful and
fraudulent on tho part of the insured,
The Judge in his chnrgn alluded to tho decision
ofiho Supremo Court ufOhio that negligence is n
good defence to action on a policy—but it must a‘
mount to gross negligence. As to ilia fact of an ex
plosion being in Itself presumptive evidenco of such
negligence,tho construction mutt he qualified by the
facts of tlio case. At the time of the explosion was
the power of steam, os npi lied to stcambunt navi
getiod, so under tlio control of enre and skill as tliut
in tho ordinary navigation of boots with ordinary
prudence, the boilers were safe? If such wero the
fact, it fullows that an explosion is prima facie
evidence of neglect or carelessness. But if thu ex.
plosion took place when the boat was under the or
dinary pressure of stcum and under good manage,
ment, tho presumption of gross negligence would
in such case be rebutted.
Tho jury after being Instructed by tho court brought
in a verdict fur the defendant*. It. is said that
appeal will be taken.— Halt. American.
ed in it* adjustment, so lli.it after we aro seasoned
to tlio practice of distributing the revenue, tlio man-
net of raising it uuequnlly may bo in their power.
The truth i«, the Old Fcdoial i’uriy is in the a,run-
duncys nnd they oro determined to corry nut their
policy to its fullest extent, and muko this n consul!-
daii'd Government. Tho indebtedness of the Slutes,
has destroyed their independence. No dominant
patty within them, dure* propose taxation to pay
their U*-hts. and both purlins, (ns lutdy in thu Point
sylviiiiin Legislature,) will go for quartering their
debts on the Genera I Government* The constitu
tion will bo no barrier, the whole system of our G-
vernment will bu subverted, Blit what then? The
limitation* in the constitution hnvu ever, in the opini
on of the Northern Federal Parly,been slat ding nui*
once*. Federalism will bu triumphant, und the
Noithera Slates relieved, but where will bu tho
South?
Make up your minds to three things, to bo done
by the next Congress. A distribution of revenue tu
the States—n protective torifl*, (so far as iho princi
ple is concerted,) and u Uuired States Bank. Yet
with tbuse measures ponding over them, the South
ern Press, nnd Southern people, seem to bo slum
bering in inactivity. Dors vour silence proceed from
indifletencc ur resolution? Havuyuii weighed ll.tr
consequences, und ate you | repi.rcd tu meet litem?
INTERESTING TO GARDENERS.
For tlio benefit of uur agricultural readers, we
extract tho following from the N. Y. American of
13th iust.
(From the American.)
Sir—If you think the following communication
will ho of imereti to your numerous agriculture!
readers in the country, it is at your seivice. The
writer was for many years a merchant in litis city ;
but, for a fow years past he has devuted himself to
agricultural pursuits in West C heater county! btn
ns you will perceivo by Ids letter, lie const loishim
so!f a “young farmer,'’ nnd therefore desire* that
bis numu may be omitted. I will Hike tlio liberty
however, ofsuying tliut, notwithstanding his modes
tv. his stutomonU nro untitled to the fullest confi
dence.
I am Sir, respectfully yours,
D. K. Minor.
To D. K. Minor.
Sir—Thu enclosed note* of tho effects of Piuidrvtto
on various crops, you innyuse ifynu cun make them
serviceable, without my nnrnc; for I uni too young
u funner to appear in piint. T hope you may find
sufficient encouragement to cnnblu you tu increase
yourbu-dness, und lliul it may hmmin mure profitn
bio lo you than 1 liuai it bus yut been. Yours, Ac.
Pkliiamdalk, W. c. Co., Dec. 9, 1840. *
As I p omised to givo you thu result of my ex
pcrimenis with Poudretie as a manure for various
crops, l now have to sny thru 1 consider it superior
to any tlmt i have ever tried.
On Potatoes, tho sued, soil and limn of planting
bring tlio same, those manured with Pmnlreite in
tho drill, dime up four days earlier lliiiii those man
ureil with the best Bliibln manure; and kept during
their wlmlo growth before ilium; and when dug
they yielded larger tubers bui as tlio two purccls
were not nccurniely measured, (somn having been
used enriy) l cannot *uy how much difference there
was in tlio product; but 1 know those reived wiih
Pond retie were the largest bulk.
For Corn, 1 think no oilier manure can coma in
competition wiih il. 1 plumed, last seusun, on
swurd land turned over (being first manured with
common yard dung) tho ground rolled very fiat, nnd
harrowed—no plough used ufterwurds; tho rows
being maiked by on ox obuin drawn on tlio ground,
tho corn dropped, and half a gill of Poudrono im
mediately put on the corn, and lightly rnvoted wiih
the huo. This was duno from 25th to211th of May,
at tlio weather allowed. More than u fm might
alu r my neighbors hud plautcd, I was told by muny
who saw ilie manner and timo of plunting, tliut 1
should Imve no crop, but in three weeks my corn
wus fariIn-r advanced than uny near met and
it con'inued of tho finest color, and was the best
filled of nny I saw through tho season It was cut
up nnd removed fioni tiro field on the first of Sop
tembor, and when basked, turned out iho leutt soft
cum tliut I ever had, hi proportion to thu good corn.
I enn attribute this quick and good growth to noth
ing but tile Poudroite; its lint land was mil well
tilled, tho corn having only bad ono good hoeing
ufier il cume up; tliocullivulor was tun through ii
twico.
On Grass, n* n lop dressing, I can speak in the
highest terms of Poudrcttc. Bring noxious lo have
some parts ofa new garden soon ill vwarJ, I put
some loam, grovel, nn-i peat vuilh on u piece of
swump ground filled in with rtnnn und rubbish from
iho wulks, und sawed grass sued in Ortuher. I
could sue iho grass fairly up before the snow came
in December—but in Murch, scurcely any ap|>cur-
anoe of gras-*, ur ront, wu* visible. I hud the gr >und
reked over, und Puudrotto spread lightly over it, nnd
then about hall'till usual quuntity ofcluvcrsccd sow
ed oil it. Tlio effect was truly astonishing; fur in
Juno it w.it cut, agiiin in August, and alto some
feed in October; and unlit tlio snow ofiho 5ili iust.,
it remained beautifully green. A small space, where
a shovel full of tho Poudrelto wus dropped hy acci
dent, and not very well gathered up. giew so luxuri
nnlly ns to bo at once perceived on coloring the gar
den.
For Turnips, I know roudrctlotobn uhnasta
certain guard against th» fly. Mine, this year, nro
n« fine as wero over rawed in thu county; and al
though sowed from the 15thofJuly to tlio 1st of
September (tho latlcr afier a crop of potatoes.) they
liuvu fully matured; and no uppenrance of injury
from the fly from tho timo of vowing. I put thu
1'uudrctte on the drill after thu turnip wwd, und it
took but a very small quantity, say out more limn
to hmk like n train of gunpowder.
For Cucumbers, Melons »$-c 1 think Poudrelto
mixed with peat enrili, the best miinuio I ever tried.
I tui.cd very fine wutcr melon* un sand with this
cnmpustjtbo past season.
We cjii ndd uur lestiinuney to tlio yqIuo of this
manure for garden vegetables—espicjally Cauli
flowers, upon which we iimdu an experimunt Inst
spring, tkuinbunJuutly proved the superiority of
Poudrcttc uvor the very best of nth- r manure.
cannot Iks supplied without dlstitibing tbit liompro-
mise bill. Tho wickedness of this attempt to squati
dor away the proceeds of the public lands, is only
oqu.illrdby the impudence of tho speculators with
whom it originates,
Tho advocates of the measure lire principally the
small stnto politicians, whoso corruption and Mil*
management having plunged iho stato* into debt
beyond their nvatt* of payment, and being now
afraid to fHco the question of direct tnxnllun, otc
anxious to seize the proceeds of the public Innds,
in order t" evade it. From the manner in which
the public land question it generally discussed, one
would imagine that the people who pay the state
debts, and those who suppoit tho Fcdonil govern
msni, aro nut one and iho same; nnd therefore,nil
ihnt cm be diverted from the latter is to much
mmle. Tho fuel is, that the revenue of the Federal
government is to he paid hy the wlmlo jicople in
the most economical wny possible. Tho proceeds
oflhu public land* lake nothing out of thu pocket*
of tlio people, although when applied to tho u»--s
of tho g tvrrnmenl, tlmt it kept out which other
wise would llow in. A revenue from duties is a
direct lax upon every consumer of imported goods,
and levied in thu most expensive rannner. The
lot* there is raised in this monner, therefore, the
better. If the proceeds of the lands are appro
printed to the payment of the debts duo by the
K 'le os stnto*, n tax, in the shape of duties, must
dd to raise iho same othount, to pay the debts
duo by the peuplo os a Federal Union. The samo
amount of money must be paid to cither esse—with
this difference: that, as the proceeds of tho land
aro now applied, they go in the most economical
wny to their proper object. Whereas, iftheyare
given In tlio Status, they will come into the hands
of speculator*, nnd will be squandered away, stlmu
fating pew debts, and leading to new taxes.

Extract of a loiter front Washington.
January 25, 1841,
You soem in Carolina to bo entirely unconscious
of the couse of tilings here, und tlio dangers with
which you aro surrounded.
In the first place, an extra session of Cungrcts
will be called, if a plausible pretext cun lie nudo oui.
In bath Houses, this measure is brought forward,
with affecteJ deprecation, whilst its necessity is
urged, upon such baseless assumptions, tlmt it is
impossible to suppose them the result of ignorance.
Tho Whigs aro afraid to let the people bo still, fur
reason may recover its assendancy in tho popular
mind. Times may ameliorate; and to keep tilings
as they are, in a natural course of recovery from
their former stn'.o of doprorsion, may be better limn
renewed agitation. Hence the policy, of moving at
once, whilst distress cover* the land. *
Relief is the watchword, but | n their policy, it
meant plunder. Tho debt* of the Stuto* to tlionmount
of $2UO,OUO,UQO urn to bo saddled upon iho Gen
eral Government, by which iho foreign stockholder*
of tb* Statu bond* will realiia $5U,QQU.QUU, and
the Steles themselves ha made dependerii on the
General Governor rit. A prospective distribution
of the revenue resulting from Umi sulcs uf thu pub
lie lands well bo the first move, in this policy. If
tolerated, then all ih* revenue which hascomo into
the Treasury since ilia public debt was paid, will
nett be voted to the Stale*; amounting to between
fif'y end sixty million* of dollars. Then lastly, ihe
policy ofmaiiuinlng the States end Statu Govern
menu, front the ravenuo of tlio Government rend

RESUMPTION.
Ycstciday vvas tho day, designated bylaw, for
thu resumption by our Banks of specie payments,
A* far ns wo huvo heard, thorn was not the least ex
citement, and hut trifling amounts were drawn from
thn Banks, and t'.ioso hy transient persons.
Our Snvnnnnh Bnnk* have tho confidence of tin*
community in iheir ability to *u*tuin demand*upon
them, nnd when such confidence, so honorably ac
quired, fa strengthened by a response to reasonoblo
calls, wo would expect, a* heretofore, to sco the
specie flowing into their vaults, ratliqr limn ebbing
out.
For wlmt gttod citizen desires tbc hard chink In

equivalent of specie for all luwfill demand* at homo.

cate* of an exclusive metallic currency. Good bill

of thu Printer is now sometime* made to rejoice in

heard, when a Lawyer on tho Circuit, in any prac
tice, wn* obliged lo have hi* colored servant, In'g or
liltlo, to carry his fee scrip, nnd this on horseback*

Law, fur the Bunk* to resume specie payments. In
this City it scorns to produce no stir or excitement,
nnd hut for tho fact that to much has been hereto
fore said throughout the Country, about suspended
(rank*, wo have no doubt the day would pass off
without any Maly's thinkfag of it. So far os thn
banks of this city are concerned, we believe it will
make no difference with thorn. They hnvu for tho
Inst two years done hut little business, except upon
hills of exchange, ut short time, consequently, tlisy
will no doubt lie found in good condition to meet all
tho demand* which may bo mndo upon them; of
those, wo think thore will bo Ibw or none, other thnn
those which uriso in the ordinary courso ofbusine»s.

which have thus fur been mudu. The reduction of

ptomits the Whig party of tho sluvehulding Stuto*,
