The Democratic members of the Legis lature met in caucus at Annapolis, on Tuesday night last, and after a lair and full interchange of opinion in reference to the ensuing Presidential election, passed the following preamble and resolutions. Whereas, the names of several of the most distinguished democrats of the nation have been presented, by their respective friends, in connection with the nomination for the high office of President of the Unit ed States, either of whom, in the opinion of this convention, would be entitled to tl- rpire conAilcnee -t p-e t ot democracy" of the country; ami wherea. a spirit of conciliation and compromise in relation to the claims of the gentlemen named is all -important to the success of the democratic party in the approaching election , therefore, Uesolved, That we, the democratic members of the Legislature of Maryland, have deemed it inexpedient to trammel the delegates selected by us in convention to represent the State at large in the Na tional Convention, which will assemble in June next, to nominate candidates for President and Vice President of the United States, by any instruction that might in terfere with the objects above indicated. Resolved, That whilst we thus avow our willingness to sacrifice personal pre ferences upon the altar of our party's suc cess, we consider it, nevertheless, due to the Democratic party of Maryland, whom we represent, to declare our belief that Geu'l Lewis Cass, of Michigan, is their decided choice for the responsible position referred to; and whilst the nomination of either of the gentlemen named would com mand their undivided support, yet his selection by the convention would be hail ed as the sure harbinger of a glorious triumph of the Democracy of Maryland.

'AGRICULTURE. There is a class of tillers of thwlnd, that call themselves praetieaiJrarmer$,' od they will aaj rmpathically : do not give us any of your "book fcrmtngi' which phrase in their minds, means book nont 9tn. ' Now, to this benighted class, and it coo ists of tto small number of tillers of the soil, I would respectfully present a brief serifs of questions that may tend to open their eyes to their personal interest. I consider tbat there is not . a very treat MiffeinceiitwlntroT fact and beneficial resells, each in their special wajbetWeen the eaman that ploughs the ocean wave. anit the fanner that plough the land. If a fanner is to be turned looe on his land without previous agricultural education, that is book learning,' that shall enable him to cultivate the land to advantage and profit to himself, why need we have nauti cal schools in which our bold and brave seamen and officers are to be educated, and learn in books, navigation, or the scientific means to plough the ocean and arrive at their desired port with perfect safety to themselves and certainty, and reap the harvest of glory and profit that they so well deserve. They have learned in "Books'' first, and then put to daily practice next, and the combination of the two qualifications, made them proficient and successful navigators. W hy not put as commanders on board our vessels navigating the ocean, canal boatmen to perform this duty ? Are they not purely practical men, they will discharge this otlice just as well. I suppose, will they not friend "practical fanner"? Oh! that is totally different, I may be answered. Why ? I positively assert that without this tbook knowfodge1' both will surely ship wreck the former in the sea, and perhaps through his ignorance, loe life and all; while the latter will only lose his time, crop and starve at ease, he, and the whole of his family. Will our wise far mer employ a Doctor that has not spent years in reading the accumulated learning contained in the 'books" of his predeces sor in the profession, and the records of their experience and practice ? If he does not, which his good common sense will most probably dictate to him, why should he expect, I repeat, that Farmers should cultivate the soil without book learning' t The experience of many "practical and cientitlc tanners have now retlaceO X demonstrated all this matter of fact, into a positive anil undeniable evidence, and proven by the results, and all these results are published in books,' namely: that a cultivator of the soil does not derive all the advantages that he might, without a combination of " scienlifit and practical knowledge.' Is it reasonable to suppose, that every self-taught farmer can have acquired, of himself, more observations and experience than the concentrated a6T recorded ex perience and observation of millions of individuals, for the lapse of some 4,000 years'? Is it not presumptuous to have the folly to assume that they know better than the whole besides ? If it be so, it is folly for such farmers to employ a lawyer to mange their case before a court ; or catl upon a book learned physician to heal the wounds and diseases that flesh is heir to. Is it' not pitiable that such individuals who call themselves 'practical farmers," th ou Id yet exist in our midst, while the inarch of improvement is perceptible every wherein the science", of observation ? Is it not high time they should pause and consider; think fr themselves; take ad- I vice irom the their increasing experience of what others are doing in their own call- nig : ami stop to smile at then betters, because they read agricultural works aud periodicals, and frequently meet in agri cultural societies to liberally exchange their observations, practice and trials in order to benefit each other and society. It is to be hoped that a better day will soon come, and that not only individuals, but our legislatures, our Governors, our people iu high places, every where, will feel more interest in the improvement of this vital branch of human industry. Very respectfully, J. TOGNO. ASSIGNMENT OF LAND WARRANTS. The omission to give any form for a power of attorney in the published regula tions for the assignment of land warrants, under the recent act of Congress, led to inquiry being made to the General land Office, at Washington, when the follow ing form of a power of attorney and also proper directions for its execution, were communicated to the writer.
