" May your rich oil, s Exuberant, naturea'a better blcaaings pour , , O'er every laud." .. - . , , Effect of Depth of Soil oa Vegetation. The deeper the soil is, or can be made 1j. good tillage, provided it contains the ele ments ot lettility, the more productive it must become ; not only by causing a large supply of actual tood, but also by presenting an increased surface for the action of chemi cal forces to retain those valuable substan ces, which being in solution would otherwise pass away in the subsoil, where, though they might be retained, the roots could not get at them. The atmosphere penetrates more free ly, warming and exciting the whole mass; tlie roots, instead of merely throw ing out la terally ami creeping along just beneath the surface, as in shallow soils, push boldly out in search of food, and thus strengthen the plant. The alluvial tracts so frequently found along our principal rivers, are all deep and very fertile ; though generally dry, they sel dom suffer from drought, owing to their pow ers of absorption, both from the air and sub soil. Depth being so important, we should do all in our power to increase it by artificial means when required ; as frequent ploughing ,at a uniform depth produces even in the ' i :i . - i i i.j .i ..u .. i,:i. deepest soils a hard bed, through which nei- titer roots, air nor moisture can i readily pen t ......... .i.. .... r ...i.u;i 'etllte J the use of tlie subsoil plough, once ! in three or four years, is strongly recom mended, vt lien tne sudsoii consists in a stiff yellow clay, care must be taken not to bring up too jnuch at once ; for else, being sometimes of aayoisoiious nature, it might feud to injure the land for some length of time, until in fact the oxygen of the air had effected the necessary chemical changes, and sweetened the muss. Deep soils are much less injured by sudden changes of weather than shallow i.ne, for being open and fria ble, the rain-fall passes slowly through them, aud after nourishing vegetables by the mois ture and ammonia that it leaves, disappears in the subsoil : and durinz a dry time, they fniaintain their moisture, owing to their pow ¬ ers of absorption and capillary attraction. Many of the most fertile loams resting upon a gravcllT and very porous subsoil, owe their fertility to their depth. The'same rule holds good with soils rest ing on lime-stone they are ncn or poor, ac mrdinir to depth. Therefore it is evident that in farming, besides the mere outline of nrenarins the trroaind for the crop, we have jthe important business 'of deepening the ground to auenu in. iruiunx, on lows where the land requires it, win ne lounu a most important assistant, lowering the water level to the bottom of the drains some three or four feet from the surface, enabling the atmosphere the great fertili.er to pene trate into the crevices, formerly filled with excess of moisture, and by diminishing tena city, lessening the difficulties of deep culti vation.

YiNBQAk PtAKT. -We spoke last April of a Vinegar plant given us by a lady friend in Webster. We took it home to 6Ur office, firocured from an apothecary's store one of lis lurgest glass jars, holding some two gal lons, filled it with common sweetened water, committed the plant to it, and there it has been ever since spreading its folds upon the surface, till jt a evident the vinegar had become strong enough almost for the death of the plant; whereupon, this week, we re moved the original sweetened water, and supplied its place with new for the plant to work upon. On drawing off the vinegar it was . found very strong indeed almost as strong as lye, and for ordinary table purpos es it will require to be diluted with lresh water, "There is no mistake about it this vinegar plant w ill keep our family in purest vinegar as lon; as we shall need such an ar- ticle. llural Intelligcticer.

Benton at St. Louis. , We give below that portion of Col. Ben ton's recent speech at St. Louis which refers to the Cincinnati Convention and the do mestic policy of the AilmiuUtcation : Citizens: I appenr before vou in an unex pected character- that of candidate for the governorship of the State of Missouri. It was a place which I hd not sought, but which I felt bound to accept in the present condition of Ihe country its peace greatly endangered both at home mill abroad, and the services of all od citizens required to aid in preven ting the double calamity of civil and foreign war. I went to Ciucinna:i to be near that Con vention, the first one I ever approached. I went to see how things were done, anil lo assist a little at a safe nomination. I found a garrison of office-holders inside of the Con vention, and a besieging army of the name gentry on the outside of it. -Tacked delegates were there, sent to betray the people,. Straw delegates were there, coming from the States which could give no democratic vote. Mem bers of Congress were there, alihough forbid by their duties fnim being at such a place.' A cohort of officeholders were there, politi cal eunuchs in the Federal system, incapa- J ble of voting for the smallest Federal office, yet tent thereby the administration to im pose a President upon the people. It was a scandalous collection, excluded bv the constitution from being even electors t f the Pre. idcnt, and yet sent here to vote i be known now? 1 answer very well. Each r..r theadministration-and to vote upon the Contention now appoints a committee of it principle of the ox lhat knoweth hismastei own body, thirty-one in number, to sit four crib upon the principle of the as that vears a-, manage evert thing.

It was a scandalous collection. The members of Congress were in the double breach of their duties. They were neglecting their legislative duties, and doing what they had been interdicted from doing. Thirty years ago the nomination of Presi dential candidates was taken frmn Congress ou account of the corruption which it engen dered, ami given to delegates, intended to be fresh frmn the people and to obey their w ill, and the nomination removed frmn Wash ington to Baltimore, lo get out of the reach of President-making members. But these members followed to Baltimore, getting prox ies front same delegate when they could gel no appointment froin'the people ; and to get lid of them to get entirely beyond their reach the Convention itself w.s removed from Baltimore to Cincinnati. Vain effurl to escape them. Ther followed on to Cincinnati. Tliey broke up Congress upon city, clerk in the department head ol bureaus men w no nave no vote in any ieiie ral election noliiical htbrid, umbte t act a man's part in any election, but sent to Cincinnati, a a life 'guard to support the ad ministration. '. Such wa the composition of neat I v one- half of the whole convention custom-house t ..nicer. pit-maters, salaried clerk, packed j .ijjau.,, r)1., delegates, political eunuch, member of Uonsie, district attm nie, fe deral jiiarshal. The place in which they met, and which had been provided by a pack ed administration committee, wa wonhy of the meeting. It was a sort of tleo, approach, ed by a long, narrow passage, barricaded by three door, each door guarded by armed bullies, with order to knotk tlown any nerson thai approached w ithout a ticket from the committee, and a tnchl order to be prepared with arm lit repulse the Missouri delrsation which come to tote for Buchanan a repulse which Ihey attempted, and got themselves knocked down aim trampieu un der foot. 4 "' . ... , Thi den had nn window by which people tould look in or see, or too zh ol tlie sun rnter nulr a row of class, like a steamboat' . ... r.. m - - tt ..I ! skylight, thirty five feet above Ihe floor. It Wa the neatest refrcieutatitii of th " blatk hole" iiiCalcutta,aiid like that hole, hitd well- nigh become notorious for a similar calas- trophe. Tile little panes of gluts above were hung on pivots, and turned flat tn let in air. i a rain came on (trove into lite tii'ii, auu to exclude it, the panes were turned up. " Suioth ering ! smothering I" was the cry in the den; and the glass hud to be turned, up again. Over this place was a small bx for specta torsits approach barricaded and guarded and entrance only obtained upon tickets from the KHine parked committee, and to whom they gave tickets was seen the fusf votes were give for Huciianan, nud when each Strtc that voted lor him was hissed' even Virginia; and the hissing only stopped by a threat to clear the gatrene. Such is the piss to which the nomination of President is now brought. , , . . , . . JMo President, seeking a second election, has ever been repudiated before. Several, so seeking, have been defeated by their ad versaries, but no one has been defeated by his own party, The elder Mr. Attain was de feated by'the Democratic party, then called republican; the younger Mr. Adams was de feated by the same party; Mr. Van Duron was defeated by the Whigs. But each ol these gentlemen had the cousulation ot hav ing preserved the respect and confidence of his own party. XSot so wnii Mr. fierce, lie is repudiated by those who had exulted him. After four years' trial he is condemned and thrown away the victim of his advisers. It is the mst humiliating termination of a pub lic career that -ever was witnessed. His whole vote was some sixty only five dozen out of near three hundred; and ii'fron these are deducted the intrusive vote which ought not to be counted those of the office holders, packed delegates, the straw dolegates, the members of Congrcss.and the complimentary, votes which were begged for him tojessen tlie shame of tne miserable deleat ii all these w ere deductctl, as they ouj;lit to be, he would be left without a single vote; left to go out as he come in; w:ih the unanimous ;Cabauet, I set tbwn Mr. Pierce as a downed consent of hi party. What a fate for a man jinan and foresaw the sw ift and full dettruc who came into office upon ' twenty-seven I tioii which was to fall upon him. 1 h d States, with two-thirds of each House of Congress, and the united Democracy of the whole Union. After all, the result was due to the place where the Convention was held. If it had been in liattinintc, where the out side pressure would have been on the other side, the ofiice holders would have carried the day. Let 'it not be forgotten tint the place governed this nomination the place conveni- i ent to the solid men of the country; but that cannot be r'V'i dpon to save Tuture nomina tions. T; dd intriguer the permanent professional President makes will not be caught in such a ph.ee again. They will go where the fanners cannot come; and there is no safety except in the amendment of the Constitution, and giving to the people a di rect vote for President Already it is repor ted that they go next time to Charleston, South Carolina, here no Western-farmers r in n-vl nt llirin.

I hate to ffue a signal instance of (hi helplessness which concern toursrlve a well a myself, and which admit ol no question, berau-e I was party to if.und know what I say. Mr. Pierre sent forme anon after In inauguration, desiring me to rail upon , him the next eteninz at eight o'clock. 1 went according to tne request, lie tmu me he wished to speak to me aliout the Mis-onii appointments, and know if they could not be nut offlorawhile.

Ho leaves himself out by permittiu others to dominate in his department, and bv publicly agreeing to what he privately con demns, i leave out also tne secretaries ot tlie Treasury, of the Interior, of the Navy, and the Postmaster General, and only con demn them for remaining in a Cabinet in which thev are without inuuenqe, and shar ing the odium of measures of which they have no part in the paternity. This brings me to the Secretary at War and the Attorney Ge neral, who, w ith an outside force of d-termin-ed nullifiers, are the whole administration. Hut little need be said of the Secretary of War. He is a martinet, puffed up with West Point science, dogmatical and pragmatical, within his circle; but that circle is a narrow one, and he moves uncontrolled within it. lie is an avowed secessionist. Of the outside force of nullifiers still lets remains to be said. They govern when they " p'ease, and always in the same style by prceming a menacing front. Of all these tlie Attorney General is the master spirit. He is a man of talent, of learning, of industry--unscrupulous, double-sexed, double-gender'. ed, and hennapiiroditic in politics with a hinge in his knee, which he often crooks, that thrift mat' follow fawttiiu." Ilesoverns by subserviency; and to lum is deferred the master's place in Mr. Pierre's Cabinet. When I heard that he was to come int the known Mr. Cushingasan abolitionist, voting agaiust Arkansas because she was a slave State, and backing Slade, of Vermont, in the attempt to abolish slavery in the District of Columbia. I had known him as a Whig, at tacking (he Democracy and all their itica surcs; and as a Ty leritc, auctioneering offices for Tyler as long as he had an olfice to go to the hammer. 1 could have no tutu it an ail- ministration'so led, and foretold its calami tous fate from the moment it was seen who was to be in it. Now lor their acts: 1. The violation of the Texas antl Mis souri Compromises. VMt!i the facts- of this " violation, its Wicked and corrupt intent, and the foul means of getting it done, and itdis astrons and bloody consequences, vou are ail sufficiently acquainted ; and I onfr name it to give it its place at the head and front of all the evil measures of this administration. 2. Prostitution of tie whole appointing power to electioneering purposes. This was openly dune Irom the hi st moment of its ex istence. Appointments were wholly nia!e with a view to affect the elections State and Federal, and to operate for or against parti cultir men ; and fur this purpose unfit charac - - - ... j..

Nullifiers and free soiler., apostate end renegade, all were fish in their net. One single qualifica tion was requisite, that of working in the sur-'elections; and the only preference seemed to be shown was in lavorol those who had been most violent against the Union. On that principle an editor wa taken and sent into Egypt tmt into bondage, as better uiea have been cnt there but as Consul -General of ' the tnited Mates, which editor htl publish Jed a daily paper in Wahiiigtou city lor thrci ce year, wholly uevoteii to tlie separation ol the slave from the free State. 3. Unfit appointments on foreign mis ion. This is a mortifying head ol atcusa tio i against the present administration. Ne ver were such men srnt abroad to represent our countrymen without a particle of the knowledge which diplomacy requires, ami even w about manners without knowing how to behave in enmpanv mere political de mngogues, lo reward tliem for services past, and Services to come, at the FeJeral and j'ate election.
