SUNDAY, JANTARY 31. 1841. 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.

AH. ** 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.

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.

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. TUESDAY, FKBUARY 2, 1841.
