AI. O. SlrjticuXtut'ai* From the American Agriculturist. The Policy of Auierlcnn Fnriuera.—tSo. 1. If the f.ir.ncrs of the United Stales are ever to reap ihc full bent-fit of their labor, they must do sontelhingbeyond raising the largest amount of products, at ihe least amount of expense.— An enlarged arid Comprehensive view of our cv omittances and commerce as a nation, and its internal and foreign relations, and a gene ral systematic, and concerted octon, on the part of the agricultural interests founded upon such i formation, is indispensable to their re alizing all the advantages to which they are en titled. We see this intelligent nnd embodied effort in every other profession and craft; the clergy, acting through regular and ft equent assemblies, for the more effectual promotion of their more benevolent objects; the phjsi cians associating for the protection of their pro fession under law, and securing to it the high est amount of intelligence; tbc lawyers, in controlling legislation so ns to secure to the profession the largest kill of fees; the mcrcan tile and commercial interests, by their board of commerce nnd other active and well remu nerated agents, influencing na'iomd laws and commercial regulations for their own benefit the manufacturing and mechanical interests, hv concerted movements, effecting the same objects for their own pursuits; and even the laboring classes, by tho well-drilled and effi cient strikes, not unfrequcntly compelling an attention to their own interests, beyond their intrinsic merits. The farmers, it is true, are well, indeed amply, protected by an impost on the objects of cultivation in this country sutf cient to exclude every article they are now on gaged in producing. The staple productions, gruiu, vegetables, beef, pork, cotton, See, have always been fully protected, and by the late tar-ft the duties have been so increased on wool, lump, silk, and some other products, to which America us have been recentl turn ing nn increased attention, that they can now defy competition from abroad. It is not the want of higher duties on their crops, which they now.require; it is a weli-org nizt-d, effi cient, intelligent, central board, supported by fends from the general government, which, procuring information from cvctv portion of onr wide-spread Union, anti from every for eign naiion, with which we can have any pro fitable traffic, wriJ bo enabled to suggest new and profitable objects of cultivation ; give ad ditional value to such as arc already receiving a’tenfon, and mature and’ communicate for acceptance, such mod filiations of adop'ecTsys tem*, as the constantly varying circumstances of the country require. Such a board was re- commended by the illustrious Washington,- in Ins last inissago to Congress, Dec. 7, I7DG, and had I is wise counsel been at that time adopted, and efficiently carried out to the pre sent time, we might confidently have looked for a success and intelligence in American ag- rtcullure, far beyond any thi g t |, at t| !0 wor jj can now exhibit. That the creation of such a board, is at any time within the power of our landed interest, is clearly manifested in the fact, that every offi cer of our government, legislative of execu tivc, is either directly or ind rectly elected bv the popular vote, and at least two-thirds of this vote is given by those whose entire support is dorivedfrom agriculture, and ono half of the remaining third is under their controlling iuflu- • nee, so that not less than five-sixths of the popular voice cart be brought to bear in favor «»l any measure calculated to promote this ob ject. The neglect, hitherto, to secure the rightful interests of this great pursuit, evinces an apathy and ind fforcncc, alike discreditable »o the intelligence and patriotism of the nori- cultural community. In selecting books for reading, we say t« farmer’s bovs reject such as are founded on fiction, and choose those only which deal with instructive facts—as on natural history, voya ges, travels and biographies, ancient and mod ern history—that of your own country in pre ference to all others. You will worse than waste your time by devoting it to fictitious reading—which, though sometimes unohjec- tioi able in its tendency, is quite often of a contrary character, and seldom indeed really aseful. As some writer has observed, you should be as particular in the choice of your books as in the choice of your friends. If you rhrly contract a habit of devoting your leisure hours to useful reading, you will find the taste for it to “grow With your growth and strength en with your strength’’—and your minds will become improved by the exercise of the merit- al powers, asyorir boditi3aie by action. If the young could but justly appreciate the inestimable value ttf knowhtdtftl the power it has ov<-r ignorance—the Influence it has in se curing virtue-, respectability, and even world ly thrift—they would n-vor spend in frivolous nmus< ment, or waste in idleness, a single hour of winter evenings, which they might de vote to profitable study or reading. Where there is no opportunity for farmers’ sons to get books from libraries, their parents should by all means purchase them for them) if possibly within their powen Evert one or two good hooks each winter) would be of great advantage to them—an s, indeed, this number would bo better than too many—ns they would be likely to derive more profit from becoming teell acquainted with the contents of a few, than from a superficial perusal of many. Once interested in reading or study, progess is cer tain, and profit untima'cly sure. “Knowledge is power;” it is pleasure—it is Wealth, tie who to a pure heart unites an eplighted mind, possesses a treasure, compar ed with which the costliest diamond is meaner than the common dust. Farmers’ sons, we are addressing you in particular: improve whatever opportunities you have to inform your minds: he assured that when you shall have become men. your influence and stand ing in society will depend a vast deal upon tho extent of your knowledge. A man is. in ono important respect superior to another, inas much as he is snore intelligent than another— and ignorance must always pay tribute to knowledge.

It is insisted by some of the wiseacres who oppose this measure, that its consummation, without the consent of Mexico, would be a breach of faith on our part, likely to involve us in a war with that country, and probably with Great Britain. In this view of the case, the proposed ‘‘scheme” of annexation is charac terized as an attempt of usurpation nnd nation al robbery, and the American people appealed to, and members of Congress invoked, not to commit, for the first time in our history, so gross nn outrage upon a neighboring power. Texas achieved her independence as our re- volutionary fathers did theirs—by the sword. For nine years she has exercised exclusive ju. risdiction and sovereignty over her territory, which, according to Va'tel. is the sole requisite of independence.

If their proposition be true, Mexico can demand indem nification for such payments of duties resulting from commercial treaties with Texas, and, in the event of non-payment, declare war against the four powers who have had the temerity to form treaty relations with a revolted province. But there is authority for the proposed an nexation *‘without the consent of Mexico,” by the way of precedents in negotiation, that the friends of Messrs, t’layand Adams, Geu. Jack- son and Mr. Van Burcn, at least, should be sat isfied with. It is fresh in the recollection of many, that under the administrations of Jack- son nnd Adams, Messrs. Van Buren and Clay, each entered into negotiations with Mexico for the purchase of this same territory of Texas, while tho former occupied the same relations to Spain, the mother country, that Texas now does toiler. Indeed, while Mexico was in a state of war, her independence unacknowledg ed by Spain, and her territory invaded by a large Spanish force, with a hostile fleet in the gulf, aiming at Ihe re-subjugation of the coun try, Mr. Clay was earnestly negotiating with Mexico for the purchase of Texas, and its an. nexalion to Ihe Unit' d States, regardless i>f the consent of Spain. The Mexican Government and Mr. Clay entered,- without reluctance, up on the negotiation. Hence Mr. Clay, and, by parity of reasoning, Mexico, is estopped from objecting to the proposed annexation, without the consent of tbe prior proprietors of Texas, If the dortnne of the ubjeclionists be true the odium they would attach to us of attempt ing to rob M‘*xico of her territory, has been n] ready incurred. We have settled the de jure right of Texas to that territory by our own act, and Mexico has now the same cause of war that she would have in the event of annexation In 1840 or ’41, in compliance with atreaty sti pulation with Texas, which was the mere adop tion of a pre-exisiing treaty with Mexico, for the settlement of the disputed boundary be tween Texas (originally Mexico) and the Unit ed States, commissioners were appointed— Geo. Hunt by Texas, and Judge Overton of Louisiana by this Government—to survey and settle the disputed boundary between the two countries. The United Suites claimed beyond the Sabine on the West, and Texas, as did Mexico before her, claimed and exercised ju risdiction over the same territory. Suppose the decision of those commissioners hud settled tho boundary one hundred miles West of the just and true fine, which would have been in ac- Cnrdance with the oftO we then contended for— let these sapiefit objectors point out the d ffo. rence between such occupation and consequent private appropriation of the soil, and the an nexation of all Texas with her consent. The jhrisit ioiY assumed by them is this: “ that possession alone docs not give Texas the right to the territory, inasmuch as she is a rebel pro vince of Mexico, and her independence unac knowledged by that power ; hence she has no right to dispose of the territory.” If this pro position he true, Mexico herself never bad a perfect title to Texas, for she never had tho possession and the right at one and the same time—si e t-xercis'-d jurisdiction over and dis posed of lands there without the prerequisites of a good title. Mexico was a revolted pro vince of Spam, and her independence was not acknowledged by the latter until 1838, a peri od after the declaration and consummation of tbe independence of Texas at the battle of San Jacinto—nav, the nationality of Texas had been acknowledged by several powers, before that of Mexico was acknowledged by the moth er country. The question then recurs, who does Texas belong to ? It is not the property of Spain, for by her silence we are to presume she has abandoned ail claim ; nor of Mexico, because when she had the profession, she had not tiie right, and she lost, before fhe acknowf. edgment of her own independence, all the title site d'd : have, which was that of mere pnsses- sion—the chimera which the enemies of an nexation a fleet to seek under the specious name yotion to their couulry—the ohd .in the field nnd the other in the councils of the nation.— We gntherfrom the Nashville Union an ac count oftheir arrival, reception ani interview with General Jackson and the President elect. “The committee visited the Hermitage, and communicated to its illustrious tenant the ob ject oftheir visit, delivering their letter of in vitation, &c.

Entirely impromptu, incon equence of tins un expected meeting with the Louisiana commit tee, il was one of his happiest ready efforts.— He a vowel the sincerity of his gratitude to the patriotic citizens of Louisiana for the confi dence which they had reposed in him by a ma jority of their voices at the late election—de claring that while all personal inclinations bade him to accept the generous ofler of their hospi tality, he thought il would be incompatible with arrangements already made, commanding his attention until the day when lie expected to en ter upon the duties of tbe oflice to which he had been called. Indeed these kind invitations had become so numerous from different sections* that he found it necessary to resolve upon the determination to go to the capitol of the coun try in n feu’ weeks on the most direct and usual route, turning neither to the right nor left.— Yet he could not say,- that if the illustrious chieftain and statesman who was the Hero of the day they were abotit td cel- brete were to conclude to make one more visit to ihe scenes where he achieved sti much for his principles, his country, and mankind, it would be impos sible to resist the inclination to accompany the veteran side by side—nay, I would go uritJi him. Irr the most felicitous terms he participa ted in the offering of gratitude to Jefferson and Jackson for acquiring and defending Louisiana; assuming that it is not nor ever can be a local sentiment inasmuch as the public sentiment is co-extensive with the benefits which these acts have so liberally diffused throughout the whole country. Nor was he insensible of the force of his example, pointing out a pa’li of duty which takes its course through n wise arid pru. dent policy to the annexation of the Texian T- nitrify, and the addition of the ‘lone star’ to our already glorious constellation.” The committee haring addressed 1 k-HCrs of invitaiion to the venerable ex-President and the President elect, received the foilovring an swer i Hermitage, December 28. 1841 Centletnen:—Your letter of the Till instant, .t Columbia, Tenn.

I beg, gentlemen, that you will present to .them my sincere ac knowledgments for the honor done me by their invitation, and you will accept for yourselves my thanks for the kind manner in which you have communicated it to me. I am, with sentiments of high respect, Your fellow-citizen, JAMES K. POLK. From the Augusta Constitutionalist. It must be gratifying to every Georgian, who feels for the depressed condition of the agricultural interest of the State, to find that many of our citizens, distinguished alike for intelligence, wealth, and influence, are about to combine, in order to devise some means, by which the depression under which all branches of industry now labour, may be arrested, and by which a new and favorable impulse may be given to the vast resources Georgia possesses. Every one must desire success to any under taking ; and no one would rejoice more at such a success than ourselves. As success, and the complete redization of our plans and hopes, should be constantly kept in view, we lnnc ventured to oflbr to our leaders a few re marks, in this rrorning’s paper, which will be coutinued hereafter, on the various plans pto- p 1 sed and spoken of, to arrest the downward tendency of our agricultural and commercial interests; and to give to those interests a profita ble course. One of the plans proposed is the establishment of manufactures. A few obser ve foils upon this plan; will, we hope, be ki dly received. If taken into'consideration, they may lead to proper guards against a too extensive dev< lopment of the plan, by which all the bene fits anticipated may be defea'ed. The plan proposed is the establishment of manufactures in this county,- especially and in Georgia. A preliminary question should be solved before the undertaking. Where is the produce of such manufactures to fid markets ? If manufactures were established alone in Rich mond county, their produce would find a s de in Georgia. But if manufactures arc es'ta!hli>h- ed in every county of the State, as is generally proposed, where are markets to be fountl, for the surplus of manufactured goods, when the manufactures of every county will be aide to supply more titan its tVeignbbrhood requires ? Snail we find markets inf the adjoining States ? Certainly not, if the plan proposed is carried into effect let tho whole extent, because the re commendation is for every southern State to manufa'ciure to the extent of its own means and The northern manufacturers finding that they could manufacture more goods than the north ern States could consume, and that they had to encounter a formidable competition in the other States of the Union with the Europeans, thev obtained a protective tarifT, which, by enhanc- ! ing the price of imported European goods, com- J pelled the other States of the U tiion to buy their ■ own goods at their own prices. By a tax in Georgia on goods manufactured in other States [ of the Union, the Georgia manufacturers would compel all the citizens of tiii; State to supply themselves from the Georgia manufactures, and would repel any competition in their way from, abroad. But, would it be just to tax the people for the support of the manufactures' thotigh such manufactures should be located in the State ? We will here admit that a tax for the pro- tection of State manufactures, would not be so objectionable and injurious, as tbe duty impos- ed by the general government on foreign woods for the protection of northern manufactures.— The State tax would be levied in the State paid in the State Treasury, and the net pro! ceeds di-bursed in the State ; while the duty imposed by the general government, is paid b~v every citizen in Georgia, collected by United States’ officers, transmitted to the north, and there disbursed, without Georgia deriving the least benefit from its,disbursement: It must hot be inferred from these remarks that we are opposed^to the .establishment of manufactured in oiir State; Far from it. We should like to see the plan carried into opera tion ns soon n3 possible ; hut tho plan must be laid on a permanent foundation, and not as an experiment only. And to have the character of permanency,' etery contingency should be anticipated, in ofdi-r to be prepared for any event that may retard the ohjet Is contemplat ed by shell an establishment, or that may pro duce loss, instead of benefit, to those who will have embarked in the undertaking, it is in this view of the subject that we have written' these remarks, and that wo may write others in illustration < fthe positions we have assumed. We are well convinced that there must be tj beginning; that delay in beginning is frequent ly attended with injurious consequences, vrrv difficult to overcome by an increase of obsta cles not calculated on ; but at the same time it will have to be admitted, that in undertakings' of that description, the great point, if we wish to succeed, is to make a good beginning. We shall have attained our object, if we can con. tribute in tho smallest manner in the adoption ofa proper plan of operatioss. Those citizens • who are at the head of the intended improve ment, can, by their superior experience and in-' telligence, digest a proper and practicable' plan, not only from tliejr own knowledge, but from the suggestions of other citizens who may have taken the subject under their considera tion. But when a plan is once adopted, if must be steadily pursued, without regard to nnv opposition that may hereafter arise, from those who may think their plans the best, or may re commend a deviation from tbe plan adopted to suit their paiticular interests.

Well, w<- won’t srrowl but it grates confounded hard, to rig a fellow out from head to foot, and then have him cut your acquaintance.” of the dt jure title is in equity with Spain, they having robbed Texas by their argument of the title which we are accused of attempting to plunder from Mexico. If, then, carrying out their assumption, Mexico has no title, and it is admitted Spain will not set up hers in any event, we are driven, ct necessitate, to negoti ate with the people of Texas for the territory so necessary to our security and interest inas*. much as they are the sole possessors of the soil, having established a Government and maintain ed an undisputed jurisdiction over the country for a period of nine years. If these itinerant title hunters, not satisfied with the inevitable arguments drawn from their own premises, pass into Mexico in quest of the dejure proprietors of Texas, they will then as suredly be found in pursuit of an ignis faluus. The present Government of Mexico, never had’ the title or possession; ft is not the same Go vernment which deposed Spain. The Consti tution under which Texas came into the Con federacy of the Mexican States during their revolution, and which invited the inhabitants of Texas to emigrate thither, has been subverted, and constant civil wars and local revolutions in that unhappy country have .-If ced the c- mpact of confederation.- The ptbsent revolutionary Government, like several others preceding it, has a doubtful title even to sovereignty in Mexi co, much less lias it the shadow of title to Texas'. my life, than to mee: once more on the plains of Ciialmetie the bttle remnant of that gallant blind who stood'by me and with mo nearly •bitty years ago, contributing to stive your me tropohs from the rapine and pollution with which it was threatened by a foreign soldiery-— defending and protecting the great and gro w ing commercial emporium of the West/ ° And, gentlemen, this pMtsare would be en hanced by the opportunity thus afforded mo of interchanging congratulations with the noble and triumphant democracy of your State upo the late election of an honest statesman and pure patriot to tho Presidency of the Union onewho has never faltered in a uniform and energetic maintenance of democratic republi can principles, who understands the Constitu tion, and will never suffer it to be violated. But it is painful to dwell upon the almost ir resistible inducements ofyour kind invitation, for so great is niy debility, and so inclement is the season, that it will be impossible for me to embrace and enjoy them by a personal parti cipation in the contemplated celebration of the 8th of January, at New Orleans. Nor would it be prudent for me, in this precarious state of health, to designate any other day of the fu ture. Nevertheless, gentlemen, in this, and the consumptioutif their own inhabitants, where can Georgia fi d a v e nt for the surplus of her own manufactures? Where can those States and the territory just mentioned find a market for their surplus of manufactured goods ? We may be told that a great point wifi be attained, if Georg a can manufacture for her own con sumption. Ibis is very true. But how many bufo.s of cotton will it require to manufacture goods sufficient to meet tiie demand of the po pulation of Georgia? Perhaps not five per cent.of tho annual crop of the State. Besides, vc must hear in m ild, that if manufactures are established i the adjoining States to the extent recommended, Georgia will have to maintain a competition which will be more formidable than the competition already in ext-tence. We will have to compete also with northern manu factures as well us with Europea’u improve ments m manufactures.- hi this c mpetition, Gemgai will not be worse off* it is true, titan th« adjoining States; these Suites will have to sustain a competition with each other, which may prove ultimately ruinous to the manufac turing establishments) and to other branches ol industry, which thrive only when a ready sale is obtained fur any surplus of products. It is true also, that this competition may have the effect ol reducing the pr'ce of manufacture ing goods. But the question arises ; if prices ate reduced so low, that a loss is sustained by the manufacturers, how can that be remedied? If Georgia manufactures are established, which can supply goods hr the whole population at a reasonblo and remunerating price, well and good; but if by competi'ion from abroad— from adjoining and the northern States—.the price becomes a losing one to the manufactu rers; where is the remedy? The manufac turers of Georgia will demand, on a small scale, tiie same protection that the manufacturers of the north have demanded of the general gov- State*. Maine. New Hampshire.
