Indeed, 1 have thought that, for many years past, the known opinions and wishes of the Execotive have exercised undue and injurious influence upon the legislative de partment of the Government and for this cause I have thought our system was in danger of undergoing a great, change from its true theory. The pereonal opinions of the individual who may happen to occupy the Executive chair, ought not to control the action of Congress opon questions of domestic policy.' nor ought his ob jections to be interposed where questions of Constitutional power have been settled by the various departments of Government and acquies ce! in by. the people.

ON THI If cnorntlon af Worn nt Lands. By Edward Stabler, Of Sandy Spring, Montgomery Co., Aid. juontiuaea.j Bontt composed principally of phos. phate of lime, and gelatinous animal mat ter when crushed or ground form one of the richest mttnurea. Il acta well either alone or with other manures, and is panic, ularly valuable to aid the growth of clover; for this reason I class it decidedly before Guano, at an rqual expenditure of money, for ''renovating wornou t lands.. Although not so prompt in acting, it is far more dura ble and more likely to produce a good ctop of clover, to turn under. Clover, being almost the only "green crop'' that I have ever found mtteh advantage from turning in. -. vt I prefer its use f41cwing the lime, and on the oal erqn; al iliaj i rate of frotnfj to 10 bualiels or ss raucli more"as the rehova lor may please, for an increased quantity will do no injury - Oo ihe wheat, succeed ing the oats my practice is to apply a light dreesingofGus.no say 80 to 100 pounds to the acre to mature and perfect the grain; only on each portions of ihe field as the manure from the barn yard will not extend to. By the lime tffe clover requires the aid of the bone, it will have become suffi ciently disintegrated and incorporated with the soil In give the clover a vigorous start and its effect on the grass crops, is fjene. rally more durable than tbe vegetable ma noree. , The supply of ground bones is a limited one; but when to be had at a reasonable rtriee fusualtr selling at 40 lo SO centsTthe bmrhcr)' rtrnar be sed"rndvaflttgrori'l- crop and on all soil; but with decidedly r advantage, after passing through the alembick of the glue manufacturer; - (ne 1 have proved si least lo my saiirfuctionj: thus depriving it of much of its fertilizing property. .

This one of the most active of all manures; and if the price would justify the application in sufficient quantities, il might aid very materially in 'renovating worn ' 'out ' lanJa." . ' Dut considering the evanescent nature of its most active princi ple;, ammonia, and the present high market price viz: the Petuvian, at$60 lb 70 and the more inferior kinda at $15 to 155 lor the ton of 2000 pounds, it is much doubted whether the ultimate advantage calculated on by many, wilt be realized. If 'he Pe ruvian could be obtained at about Arrytbie price snd it is believed such would be the case with a fair competition in the Peruvian market the esse might be different. .The writer has made liberal ugeof .Gu ano; and gcneially lo profit, as to ths im mediate Tel urn: but in no case has much benefit been derived beyond Ilia first crop; and rarely was any material effect perceiv ed after, the iecond year. . . This opinion o different from that en tertained by some, others, . is : not lightly formed, nor without several years .careful observation; and els? testing ihe mailer. by numerous, experiments, and on a scale sufficient extended to ' prove ihe truth or fallacy, of the' doctrine held by some, that His only a stimulant. - Reference to 'one experiment may suffice, as they all tend lo the earns result, and nearly to the same de cree. x. . -.' ti,.: t rrin neia ot some.io arrei, one acre was selected near the middle, and extend ing through the field sp as to embrace any dijtorence ofsoil ehoald there be sny,-."

Dut'aa the tunply is rarely, If ever equal to the demand, much need not be said oo the subject. At 8 to 10 cents per bushel, if the cost of transpor tation it not too heavy, they may always be profitably used; in durabilibility they are next to lime! and the action immediate.
