Messrs.; Editors : An apology is duel
you from me for the long delay in offering
Vou communications, according to promise,
ior jour vuiuauie jrenuuic.au wain oi
time, hitherto, is my plea. For since my
visit to your City, last "Spring, unremitted
labour and attention to my complicated bu-z
siness of 'Vineyards,- Nurseries,- and Plan
tation, lias- left me no leisure for writing in
the day time;' and the nights have been too
short for that purpose. But since hey Have
now sufficiently lengthened, I may trouble
you, with h series of short Essays on the
Vine and Mulberry culture, and. kindred
subjects, j And however such subjects may
fail to interest, when discussed by me, yet
in the view of all truly enlightened Patri
ots and Statesmen, Agriculture, including
its various1 branches, confessedly lies at the ,
foundation of human society and . welfare ;f
and, therefore, Agricultural improvement
is of the utmost importance to all. And
that this branch of the Arts,- is as capable
as others of great and continued improve
ments by the accumulated lights. Of Science
thereon, is manifest by the fact of various
kinds of Agricultural 'products" being dou
bled, trebled, quadrupled, and more, in those
countries and districts where attention and
emulation jhave been excited by Agricultu
ral Societiies.Legislative premiums, and the
like; and where, we may emphatically add,
the Ym has diffused light and intelligence
among thf. people on the subject of this
first of Arts ana Sciences. We might point
ycu for example to Great Britain and other
parts of Europe, as well as to different dis
tricts of ourowii free enterprising and be
loved country. .
Look at jibe-State-of Massachusetts, where
an enlightened Legislature, by giving some
thoitsdndi in the way of Agricultural Pre
miums has increased the resources of the
State, millions, . What but improvements
in Agriculture, by Societies, Periodicals,
and the like, connected with the judicious
application of the School Fund to impart
the blessings of Education among all classes
of the people, has conferred the title of
Empire Stale on New York? And shall
not North Carolina awake to . the impor
tance tihis subject, as well as to that of
Rail Roatls? For we may say, rwhat are
the advantages of Rail Rmds if, by wretch
ed anil erroneous management, lands con
tinue to become sterile, and emigrations to
the far West,increase? At length, noth
ing may be produced to transport on the
Rail Roads. Virginia, an adjoining and
sister Stte, has awakened up to this sub
ject and Ithat mainly, we may say, owing
to the exertions of one individual, Mr.
RuFFisJand one Periodical; the Farmer's
Registerl. And, if single orcein one State
can do so much in this all important mat
ter, what might not the united force of N.
Carolina's enlightened sons do?
And io return from this digression, or
general remarks on Agriculture, to the par-"
ticular branches first named, L would re
mark from personal experience, as well as
observation, that North Carolina is as well
calculated by soil and climate as any part
of America, not to say the world,' for the

A WITTY SPEECH.
. Mr. William Cost Johnson at the eren
ing session of the 12th, rose and request
ed Mr. Pope to give way, as he appeared
evidently exhausted, and7 he would pledge
himself, and the honor of every member
on the floor, that he would be listened to
on to-morrow with the greatest pleasure,
for the conclusion of his abte and eloquent
discourse. Mr. Pope acceded to the pro
posal. Some gentleman moved that the
committee rise, but withdrew his motion
at the request of Mr.' Johnson.
Mr. Chairman, said he, in thUs thrust
ing myself upon your patience at this late
jhour, I appeal to the magnanimity of gen
tlemen, in the hope that they will indulge
me for a short haff hour. The question
before us is all important to the farming
interests of the country. I have the honor
of representing that interest exclusively.
I said, sir, I would crave your attention
for a half hour. When Walter Scott was
asked why he had not written the Life of
Bonaparte in one volume, he said, I had
not time. If I should encroach upon the
time I have limited to myself, I pray you
to consider the answer of the Northern
writeras applicable to myself.- I have
not had the time to :dive into the question
in all its bearings, and consequently shall
not be able to express myself in the bright
est and most felicitous manner. '
Before I go any farther, as we are in
committee considering this question and
the State of the Whole -Union,. I will take
this occasion of, rendering the amende
honorable to the late Postmaster General.
I stated in my place on a former occasion
that the Post Office Department was cor
rupt to the core. In saying so, I did not
mean that the Postmaster General was
personally liable to this accusation.
And I would have then disclaimed im
puting any such crime to that gentleman,
but for the fact, that t was met by two
ui ine ueawi ui vjrenerai Hamilton was re
ceived at one of their feasts where wine
and reason flowed in equal streams.
They broke their glasses for grief at the
loss of the great chief of the Federal party.
Various wefe the laments made by every
one of" the cuterie. Mr. Bailey had set
all the while silent. His grief was of the
deepest dye. He emptied his glass, how
ever, more frequently than usual. At
last he broke out with an earnestness of
manner that quieted jiis companions.
'Gentlemen," said he, "I have more
cause of grief than any of you. It never
can be assuaged while I live!" Vhat is
it what is it?' were the exclamations
consequent on this bold declaration.
"Whilst General Hamilton lived, his
opinions perfectly accorded with mine.
I was hen spared the trouble of investi
gating things. Now, only think of it.
I sfall be compelled to think for myself."

So it would be with the members on
this floor, if Thomas Jefferson's opinions
were to be suddenly wrested from exist
ence. They would have to think for them
selves, ami great would be their lamenta
tions, but less long their speeches. jStill
rrrtninr !ftitrlttr "1
Give me, sir, the old fashioned Virgin
ran and Carolinian, who used to think for
himself and dare to express his opinions
too. When Mr. Lowndes was told on
thisfloor that a national bank was un
constitutional, what did' he say?- "Gen
tlemen have urged that the Constitution
should be so amended as to give the pow
er to Congress to charter a Bajfk. Now
I have two obiections to this. The first
is, if the proposal be made to the States,
I believe it will be rejected, and the se
cond is, I believe the power already exists
in the Constitution." He was opposed,
Mr. Chairman, at the time, by every
member from his own State, yet he dared
like a man to speak his honest sentiments.
He Aid not, like your modern politicians,
seek to get under the shield of Thomas
Jefferson. God knows they want some
place to hide their Lilliputian notions in,
and they have justly chosen the Virginia
doctrines and Thomas Jefferson's opin
ions. In another branch of thisLegislature,
we have seen, on a most magnificent scale,
the grand play of hide and seek. The
gentleman who, within a few weeks past,
sustained the principal character, enacted
it so admirably that old Proteus, when
caught by the shepherds, was thrown into
the shade. I tried hard to follow him, Mr.
Chairman, in his two late speeches, but
my brain became bewildered. Before I
would follow in his wake, as his friends
on this floor have done, .! would cut my
political jugular! A hearty laugh and all
.eyes turned on Mr. Pickens, who laughed
too.J
and beauty? He is now opposed to the
sub-Treasury measure then he was for
it. Was it because the gentleman, being
scarce of flesh and blood himself, felt a
sympathy towards General Gordon's bony
skeleton? "Mr. R. is very thin. Forfend
me from such nuptials! TPoor Robertson
looked as if he could shoot Johnson.
Laughter louder than ever.
Mr. Johnson continued for one hour
and a half in this felicitdus strain expos
ing the vanity, folly, and ignorance, of the
i politicians on the floor of the House. I
have given you the marrow of his discourse.
He wound up by shewing the disastrous
effects of Mr. Calhoun's amendment upon
the productive labor of the country.
SUPER EXCELLENT.
At a Whig meetingheld in Taunton, Mass.
on the 13th ult., the Hon. Francis Baylies
delivered an able Speech on the Currency,
a copy of which was furnished by him for
publication, and occupies four closely prin
ted columns in the Taunton Whig. Mr. Bay
lies, it may be recollected, was an able mem
ber of Congress at the commencement-of
General's Jackson's Administration, or a
short time previous, and was one of his
most efficient supporters. He subsequent
ly received a diplomatic appointment to
Buenos Ayres, but shortly returned, and
having. become thoroughly disgusted, with
Jacksonism, came out from the party. His
recent Address at the Taunton meeting was
admirable, and we wish much that we could
We have been told sir, by the gentle
man from Va., Mr. Robertson, that we
are to. legislate for posterity. This re
minds me of a debate 'in the Irish parlia-
ment. Some member equally lortunate
had uttered the same unwise doctrine.
He was called to account in the severest
manner., l he tnsnman rose io explain:
"Mister Speaker, by posterity I -did not
mane our ancistors, but the gineration that
ing passage affords one of the best illustra
tions of the conduct of the political quacks
into whose hands the people of this coun
try have fallen, that we have met with any
where. The nation is in. a fair way of be
ing bled to death, because forsooth the pre
sent'and late Presidents have expressed cer

to certain measures. N. Y. Com. Adv.
"The distress of this country is unparal

to be transported to the borders of the Dead
Sea, 'where no verdure quickens, no salu
tary plant takes root.' Desolation is in our
stieets; poverty at our fire sides ;want
stares us in the face.
This is our condition now and such has
been our condition through the summer; the
evil has advanced with the advances of the
weeks. We were called upon to exercise
our patience. 'Endure these ills a lit.tle
longer and all will come right. The Presi
dent has called Congress together, and will
recommend some scheme which wnl once
more set the wheels of business into motion,
and restore our former prosperity,' was the
consoling language of the hopeful and sanguine.
We waited waited patiently for the
meeting of Congress and the Message. Un
der the pressure of calamities most disas
trous, there was scarcely an indication of
the popular discontent except at the ballot
The President Was not, like his predeces
sor, pestered with petitions and committees.
The people relied on his wisdom to devise
a scheme to relieve them trom the evils
which he had been so instrumental in pro
ducing. The remedy is now proposed, and
what is it? Continue the system which
has produced the evils. The mountain has
indeed labored and brought forth a mouse.

Gil Bias, and proceeded in such.a manner,
that in less ihan six "weeks we made more
widows and orphans than the siege of Troy

changed, says . die President. They have
been repeatedly and unreservedly announ

the people to apprise them distinctly, that
in the event of my election, I would not be
able to co-operate in the establishment of a
national bank.' . In other wards, the Presi
dent published his letter to Sherrod Wil
liams ! Let the people perish, rather; I
will not decry my own works ! 'Perish

Beardsley perish rather the moneyed aris
tocracy, says the Globe perish, rather the
clergy, says Abner Kneeland, and. perish a
whole nation, says the administration, rather
than abandon ''the old path.1
The veins of commerce are cut up and
the blood is pouring forth in streams from
the fainting patient; 'it is a gross error to
think that blood is necessary for the preser
vation of life, says Sangrado. "It may be
safely assumed that no motive of conve
nience to the citizens requires the reception
of bank paper,' says the ,'President; and he
thinks that oar credit was so-good, thatlike
the sword of Hudibras, it ate into itself;
we were sick because we were too healthy,
therefore, it is necessary to keep us sick,
lest by getting well we should become sick
again. . The banks .have broken; the manu

tients .to take 'pleasure in dying,' namely,
to bring their practice into discredit.'
