WILLIS GAVLORB LUTIfKR TUCKER, Editors. J*ronpcctus of }'ol. S. for 184J. The Cultivator was established to] improve and elevate the Agriculture of the country ; to give a proper tone to ttie morals and mind of tlie farmer; to show him the dignity and unportance o his profession; to ston^ his mind with useful know ledge, and convince him that while all classes are and must be more or less dependant on each other, he alone of the whole can make any near approach lo independence. If there is one thing more than another, which in this country gives a man superi ority over his fellow men, it is knowledge; and this knowledge,—knowledge which is essential to the success of the farmer as to other men,—it is the de- fciijn of the Culfivator to aid in imparting. The volume for 1810, is filled entirely with Okioinal Communications, embracing articles from about 300 Correspondents, iiom almost every State iU the Union. If an increase of subscription b.*i^'f>nd any prece- ient in the history of Agricultural j,*)urnals,—if the almost unanimous voice of the public press in our favor,—if the multitude of private yet ilaJtering tes timonials we have received, added to a circulation amounting the first year to Twenty-two thousand, maybe ad^mitted as evidence, then wc liave certain ly most abundant reason to be gratified with the suc cess which has attended the Union of the Cultivator and the Genesee Farmer. No expense has been or will be spared to render tlie Cultivator worthy of the patronage it has received. In the number, va riety and excellence of its Illustrations, it is with out a rival at home or abroad, the last volume being embellished with nearly One Hundhed Engravings, illustrating the improved breeds of Horses, Cattle, Sheep, Swine, Building, Implements, &c., making the Cultivator, all things considered, it is believed, the Cheapest Agricultural Paper ever published in this or any other country. TERMS—One Dollar per annum—Six copies for !ji;5—the money to be remitted in advance, free of postage. A commission of 20 per cent, will be al lowed to Agents who will obtain 25 or more subscri bers, and 25 per cent, to those who obtain 100 or more. All subscriptions to commence with a vo lume.

The bill in the House la relation to military land warrants was, oa motion of Mr. Allen taken up, and after an explanation of its provisions was order ed, to a third reading and passed. Mr. JjUI submitted a resolution of inquiry, as to the discontinuance of post routes in Missouri; which was adopted The j-oint resolution for the distribution of the printed copies of the returns of the census of 1840 PROBPECTUS OF Kttt ULCticdlti XtetittfiUcan. IT was the intention of the undersigned to issue a Prospectus some time previous to the commence ment of the present (the 5t h) Volume of this paper ; but some arrangements becoming necessary, and which could not be ejected at an earlier day, this Prospectus was unavoidably delayed until the pre sent time. The undersigned has now the gratification of be ing able to assure the friends of the paper, and of the cause in which it is engaged, that tlie Lincoln Republican is now placed on a sure foundation; and that nothing is wanting to ensure its long continua tion, but the exertions of its friends ; and he would take this occasion to call upon them to bestir them eelv'es in its behalf. He cannot deem it ncces.^ary to say more than that the Lincoln RepuWican will continue to pur sue the course it has heretofore marked out. Its doctrines are, and will be, the doctrines of the Re publican School of ’98 & ’99; and it will, as liereto- Ibre, endeavor to show, that every departure from them, in the administration of the affairs of the Go vernment, is subversive of the riglits of the States and of the liberties of the people ; and therefore, it is only by a strict adherence to them, that those rights and those liberties tan be preserved. These are the opinions of the unilersigned; and so long as the paper remains under his control, such shalT be the doctrines it will endeavor to inculcate. Though not ptersonally interested, the undersign ed cannot refrain from calling on the opponents of a National Bank, a high and ruinous TariiV. it Dis tribution of the proceeds of the Public lands, an ar^- 6umj)tion of the State De’bt?

The Subscribers take thi? method of announc ing to their friends and he public generally, that, having purchased the exteisive and well known sjiicc, caliing on the Secretary of the Treasury for information why the following re solution, passed at the last session, had not been an swered, was taken up. Resolved, Tliat the Secretary of the Treasury be directed to report to the Senate, at the next session of Congress tlie amount of scrip heretofbre issued on the Virginia militia land warrants, giving the amount for each year, the names of the persons to whom issued, also, the names of the persons to whom such scrip was assigned, with the year of such as- Bignment. A debate of considerabe length then took place. The Resolution was thou modified by striking out the words without delay," and it was then passed. Tl’he order of the day was then taken up, being the bill to distribute the proceeds of the public lands. ]\Ir. Smith of Indiana moved to postpone the far ther consideration of the bill until Monday, on ac count of the small number of Senators present. Mr. Sevier opposed the motion, and said if the friends ol the bill vrere absent from their posts, it was no reason the public business should not be progressed in. After considerable deb^ite, the motion to postpone was carried. A message was then received l^rom "he President of the United States, announcing that on the ISthj inst, he had signed the bill for the repeal of the la- [ ■ dependent Treasury. I 'J'he Senate then went into Executive session, I and soon afterwards adjourned. 'I'he House did not sit to-dav. J ( le formerly owned by Messrs.

Charlotte, March 5, 1841. 1-tc Warrants, Casasj and Cma Bonds, Printed on good piper, and for salaat this Offic j Is Sen.vte Aug...16. The Senate were engaged in discussing some amendments to the Land Distribution Bili, when a Message was received from the President of the United States. The chair announced that the President had re turned tlie bill to incorporate the subscribers to the Fiscal Bank of the United States, with his objec tions thereto. The bill before tlie Senate was then laid aside, and the iaesaf^o read bv the «i'ti»o Senate. 11 wili bo found in another column. 'I’he moment the reading was concluded, the ex citement, which was intense, was manifested in the gallery over the chair of the President of the Se nate by a few indications of applause and dissent when Mr. Benton, rose and expressed in strong terms his indignation at having heard the hisses of bank ruffians in the gallery, insulting to the President of the United States, on the reading of his message: and concluded by moving that the Sergeani-at-Arms be directed to take the offenders into custod\*, and bring them before the bar of the Senate to. answer for their conduct. Mr. Rives declared he did not hear any hisses, and he understood from those around him that none were heard; he concluded, therefore, that the Sena tor from Missouri was mistaken. Mr. Benton said, emphatically, he was not mista ken ; and as the Senator had raised a doubt, he would now insist on the fact being proven. No one should doubt whether he heard that manifesta tion, when he asserted that he did. He had come prepared to hear ihe President of the United States insulted by the Bank ruffians in the gallery, and he had told his friends it would be the case; but he had also told them that on the first indication of such an insult, he would stand up in his place and have the ruffians brought to the bar of the Senate, to answer for their conduct. He would ask those around him if the hisses were not distinctly audible? Mr. Walker said, he himself heard them—and he believed the same individuals were now persist ing in the same course, (pointing to the gallery over the President’s chair.) Mr. Benton remarked that the same thing was at that moment going on in the gallery. If was by intimidation these Bank myrmidons wanted to car ry their measures; and if they were not seized in the act, the next thing thej?- would do would be to bring a hired mob into the halls of legislation, and extort their charters by force of arms, lie would seize them as he would throttle the monster itself Mr. Preston concurred iu the propriety of the motion, and expressed his disapprobation of any dis turbance in the gallery either for or against a mea sure, as an insult to the Senate itself, for which it ought to have some law of punishment. Mr. Rives was proceecing to make some further remarks, when The Chair made an explanation, and Mr. Buchanan observed that this was a solemn crisis in the affairs of the nation, and he hoped every American citizen w’ould fe^l its importance. He had distinctly heard the hisses as stated by the Sen ator from Missouri; but he was obliged in justice to say they were but momentary. They were ar rested either by the call of the Chair to order, the good sense of the people in the gallery, or the ri sing of the Senator to make his motion. As they were so promptly put down, he hoped the Senator from Missouri would withdraw hismotion. Mr. Benton refused to withdraw his mbiion. The Chair explained that having heard some noise, without considering whether it was approba tion or disapprobation, he had called the Senate to order; but could not say that he had ,or had not heard hisses. Mr Allen made some appropriate remarks, and concluded by stating that he understood the offend er was in custody, and expressed his sorrow for ha ving done what he was not at the time aware was an offence; as, therefore, all the ends had boon uc- complishea which his friend had in view when lie refused to withdraw his motion, ho hoped ho would now withdraw it Mr, Walker said, the President in perfect and glorious consistency with a long life of usefulness and iionor, has placed his veto upon the charter of a National Bank, and said his heart was full of gra titude to the Giver of all go *1 t »r ili-j sal .atx'H of his cduntry, and rescue of txii O* tistuuiion, to en gage in the tmainess of indicting punishment upon an individual, said fo be respectable, an-i \vno had in part atoned for his offence by the expression of his repentance. Let him go, then, and sin no more, and let us proceed to the consideration of that Veto Message, which he, Mr. W. had confidently pre dicted at the very commencement of this session, and recorded that opinion at its date in the jouiuais of the day. Mr. Benton said he had been informed by one of the officers of the Senate (Mr. Beale) that one of the persons who made the disorder in the gallery has been seized by him, and was now in custody, and in the room of the Seargeant-at-Arms. This the officers had very propeily don of their own motion, and without waiting for tiie Senate’s order. They had done their duty, and his moticn had tiius been executed. His motion was to seize the disor derly, and bring them to the bar of the Senate. One had been seized; he was in custody in an adjoining room; and if he was still acting contemptuously to the Senate, he should move to bring him to the bar; but that was not the case. He was penitent and contrite. He had expressed his sorrow for what he had done, and said he had acted without ill design, and from no feelings of contempt to the President or Senate. Under these circumstances, all was ac complished that his motion intended. The man is in custwly and repentant. This is sufficient. Ijet him be discharged, and there is an end to the atTair. His motion now was, that the President direct him to be discharged. Mr. B. said, the man being in custody, his mo tion was executed and superseded; its object was accomplished, and, he being contrite, he would move to discharge him. 'fhe President of the Senate ordered him to be discharged, Mr. Cloy of Kentucky then rose and moved that the message just received from the President of the United States, returning a bill unsigned, which had originated in the Senate, should be laid on the table, with a view of taking it up tor consideraticrti to-mor row at 12 o,clock. Mj'. /iCiw" suggested ten o’clock instead of twelve, and moved that five thousand copies of the message be printed ^Ir. CloAj of Kentucky gave his reasons for pro- ferring twelve o’clock to-morrow. He wished to have time for consideration, and would have pre ferred putting it off another day; but he supposed the message would be printed in time to afford suf ficient opportunity for studying it by 12 o’clock to- j morrow. He could not consent to take it up sooner. Mr. CalhoiLn concurred v/ith the Senator from Kentucky in the propriety of selecting 12 o’clock j in preference to 10 o’clock’ Mr. jRiweS suggested 11 o’clock—the regular hour for going into the orders of the day. That was the hour appointed in 1832 for taking up Gen. Jackson Veto Message. Mr. Clay of Kentucky preferred 12 o’clock: whatever business of the orders of the day would be on hand could be passed over informally when the hour came. Mr. Cloy of Alabama reminded his colleague that G.OOO of Gen. Jackson’s Veto Message had been ordered to be printed. He thought 10,000 would not be too many. Mr. ^ King^ had looked over the journals, and found it was 6,000 copies of Gen. Jackson’s veto message had been ordered on his motion. He would now make a similar motion. Six thousand copies of the message were then ordered to be printed. Mr. Rives moved to go into Executive session, which was agreed to, by a vote of 23 to 19. The House adjourned at 2 o’clock, and the Se nate a short time after. It is understood ihat the Federal members went into caucus immediately. IIorsE OF Represfn'tatives. Mr. Weller presented the proceedings of a Demo cratic meeting held at Hamilton, Ohio, on the 31st July, against the incorporation of a National Bank, against the repeal of the Independent Treasury, against the distribution of the proceeds of the pub lic lands. fcc.; which, on motion, were laid on tho table. Mr. Hunt of New York presented a petition of E. Peck and others, manufacturers of iron, in and near the city of New York, saying ihe appointment of a committee of Congress to collect facts, fcc., prepa ratory to a revision of the tariff laws, &c: referred to the Committna on Commerce. Mr. Snvder of Pennsylvania offered the follow- ins: Resolved, by the Senate and. House of Representa^ tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That this session of Congress shall ter minate on the 23d day of August instant at 12 o^clock, ni. Objected to : lies over. [The President of the United States informed the House that he approved tlic Navy Pension Bill on the 16th inst.] The House then, on motion of Mr. Barnard, went into the Committee of the Whole on the bank rupt bili, (Mr. Tillinghast of Rhode Island in tho chair.) Mr. Holmes of South Carolina, who had the floor on Friday, now commenced. He said a bankrupt bill in England was salutary, bifscause the Govern ment was coneolidated; but in lUiis country, where there were twenty-eix separate Governments, and the probability of there beinfftis many more, a uni form bankn^>t bill waa not such ai\ easy matter to bo legislated into beit^ fie said in this bili thero waa not a single feature of a bankrupt law. It tdiould be entitled a bill to extend insolvency iu tlxo United States. Mr. Holmes went at length against the pre.^ont He said the act would vex the land >\'orsa thiu» bill. the Egyptian plagues.
