AGRICULTURAL.
Hail! first of Arts, source of domestic ease;
Pride of the land, and patron of the seas.
AGRICULTURE,
lie who has dominion over an acre.
and rescues it from barrenness, and co
vers it with a smiling harvest, has more
of virtuous self applause, than the con
queror of large territories, waste and
desolate. The culture ol the earth sa
vours of filial affection. It is our
bounteous mother : it affords us notir
ishmenti and shelter, and shade fer
tile streams, fragrant flowers, and re
freshing fruits. We should love it for
the sake of the living, for the sake of
the drad. A beautiful plant, or a lux
uriant vine, may suggest to a poetical
mind the spirit of depaited beauty,
putting forth again from the earth,
where the form was inured.
The Cattle Show and exhibition of
Domestic INIanuf actures was held at
Middletown (Conn.) on the 16th and
lTih ot October. Ariiong the novel
ties of this celebration, a cart arrived
from Durham, drawn bv seventy voke
of oxen, and one single ox placed in
front of the whole as a leader. A
stag'- was built on the cart, on which
were a currier and shoemaker, and oth
er mechanics, at work ; and also one
man employed in threshing, and anoth
er in winnowing grain. When these
men ceased to work, an excellent band
of music on board of the rnrt struck
un. increasinrr the satisfaction of the!
0
spectators. Fifty voke ot oxen were
driven into Middletown from Middle
Held, and forty voke from Westfield

society. Northern paper.
Lw Question.
FCOM l-IIE FIIANKLIX (pilIL.) GAZETTE.
William Pool and two other seamen
lately deserted from the Boston brig
Washington, Captain Dolivar, on her
arrival at Richmond in Virginia. On
complaint of the captain of the vessel,
Joseph Mayo, Esq, a magistrate of
that city, committed the seamen to jail
under an act of Congress. They were
then brought up before Judge Brockeu
brough, upon a writ of habeas corpus.
Mr. Scott and Mr. Riddle the counsel
for the seamen, claimed their discharge
upon the ground,
1. That the magistrate acted judicially in com
mitting ;
2. That, acting judicially, the magistrate of a
state has no right to execute the laws of the
United States ;
3. That, whether acting judicially or ministerial
ly, the laws of Virginia have declared the in
capacity of the magistrate to perform any
function or duty appertaining to any office,
or appointment, under the authority of the
United States.
The judge determined to adjourn
the case to the general court, it being
of novelty and importance, and in the
meantime admitted the seamen to bail.
This case at Richmond brings into
question the power of a Virginia ma
gistrate to enforce a law of the United
States. The point has been elsewhere
agitated, and is, therefore, not entirrJly
a new affair. But the consequences
to which it leads are somewhat curious
and pernicious, and perhaps D ot gene
rally adverted to. There if, -ilo doubt
that the lav, which relate? co the ser
vice of seamen, is the lav of Virginia.
There is no hacknied duubt of consti
tutionality. It is merelv a question
whether that stater permit her ius-
lices of the pe?ce t.o act under a law of
the United tat's. A refusal to do so
leaves thr. law almost a nullity, for the
Unite States have no judicial ofucers
of the description of justices of the
peace ; ana it tne judges ot the bu
preme and District Courts may be
supposed to have the powers of ordi
nary justices of the peace, they are so
few in number, that, nine times in ten,
the administration of justice would
fail for the want of officers to officiate
in the incipient stages of proceeding.
If a law of the United States is, un
equivocal! v, a law within the state of
(Virginia, one would think, that, as a
matter of course, the Virginia magis
tracy were bound to enforce it ; or that,
t any rate, they might do so much for
the sake of courtesy.
The reason assigned for this course
of conduct is, that the state and gene
ral governments ma he kept more dis
tinct from e.ich other, and the state be
thereby the better secured from an ap
prehended contamination. But mark
the opposite probable consequences.
The undoubted and constitutional
laws of the United States must be en
forced. The Virginia magistracy are
prohibited from enforcing them. The
United States, therefore, will be driv
en to the necessity of appointing justi
ces of the peace of their own within
the state. Here, then, are new and nu
merous channels of influence possessed
by the general government, tending to
defeat the Very object f( r which the
Richmond politicians say they are la
boring. Again : The jteople, who are quite as
much interested in the preservation of
the general government as they are in
that of any state, seeing that there is
no end to petty cavils about state rights
and state authority, will incline more
and more to the general government;
they will abandon the querulous politi
cians who make a formal question of
every small affair, and they will take
refuge under that national authority
which is comparatively steady, mild,
and tranquil.
These dangers to state rights are not
ideal; and, in our opinion, it is highly
impolitic to be making questions on ev
ery trifling occasion, and without ur
gent necessity. We recorrmend our
Virginia friends to a re-perusal of the
fable of the shepherd boy, who cried
JVolf! so often, that nobody would at
length mind him.
