Aril 12 ~ Yf 1 POLITICAL. EXTRACTS From the Speech of the lonorable Waddy Thompson, ondhe General Appropriation Bill. I believe it is Cicero who says, that one of the greatest arts of an orator is, in the selection of his topics. In discoursing of the misdeeds or this Administration, that is diificult; their name is Legion, for they are many; but there are some which I must nonce. Sir, you' remember the lectures on econ omy, which were so liberally read to us, wlien we proposed to print a public docu ment of the utmost public importance, a report (or the Secretary of the Treasury on the late delalcations, and at the very moment, by the leader of the party, in a nother body, there was a a proposition to print at the cost of at least thirty thousand dollars. not a document, but at book upon salt, a thing so utterly useless, that if the resolution which liassed that body by the votes of the party-the democratic party, the retrenchment party-cotes into this ljouse, I shall move to amend it, by strik ing out the book upon sait, and substitu ineg webster'- spelling book,or Peter Par. ley's Tales either will le more useful. But the printer of the House is not of the party-the plinter of the Senate is. I take no pleasure in these topics. If I had any pensonal or party malignity to gratify, I should forbear to do it; for the ,-ratificatiou that I should receive would bo infinitely more tharf counterbalanced by the gloomiest forehodings for the. ft. ture, from the' reflection that these acts have been quietly submitted to, not in the old age and decripitude of the republic, but in its youthful adolescence. '[he nat ural and unaided tendency of our system is to consofidssson; and its proclivity as recently developed to corruption is dan gerous and alarming. The allurements of ciffie, and the temptations which are held ow to necessitous members of decay ed, but-yet of influential families, with the inmense patronage of the Federal Exec utive, wielded as that patronage now is by the greatest master in that way, since Sir Robert Walpole, and to whom ie bears the most striking resemblance in every point of public and private character, mnakei the present crisis fearful and alarm ing. Of dissolution I have never had any fears. It never can happen. There is another and greater danger-consolidation and the consequent increase of Executive power, and the universal corruption of IIthe vit.ds of twe body poitic-until the whole mass becomes rotten and fills to pieces by it! ow t corruption. General Jackson, who had many, very many points of a great man about hin, uneilualled saIacity, cool ness, and a courage, moral and physical, which blenched At nothing, did more to change the principles of' the Governnett, than every man who has lived before hita. He was born a despot-lie was so by the natural constitution of his mind; still more was ha so by habit and education. He was born to command as has been said of hti,and he did not disappoint his destiny. Jura neget sibi nata. Loving power as he did from instinct as well as habit, it was natural that he should seek to destroy the power of all the co-or dinate branches of the Government, all those checks and balances provided by our wise forefathers-exactly in proportion as he did so,he strengthened the power of the Executive. He struck no blow more fa tal than by a constant appeal to the peo ple as his constituents against the oth er constituted authorites ofthe country. Make the Executive the direct representative of the people, and by whatever name you call it, your Giovernmeant is a despotism. I declare, in all sincerity, that I regard the presenit as an infinitely important epoch ini the history of the country: involving, in my deliberate judgment, the question whe ther the president shtall nominate his suc cessorl Trhe first step in the downward progress of all the Republics which have preceeded us, as to forms of Governmenit, they are not so important;- I would rather have a despo~tism with the Jteneral spirt of liberty, thatn 'ree mnstitutions without that spirit. Tate form of~ the Roiman Repub lie remained long after there was- no ves tige of Rtoman liberty' left, nor was that libery crushed by the all acconmjksihed J ulitus, although he inflicted a deep wound upon is; yet its destruction was not consum mated by that high atid generous spirit. It was the wild and ar-tful Ahigustus who finished the work which had been com mened and by the most fatal process; the slow decay of insiduous and gradual cor ruptiotn. I have 9nly to say, in conclusion that from a careful and itmpartial review of the past, I can place no cotnfidence. in the pledges, however solemnly made~ bj the party ini power. I know of qo single principle which they have redeemed.. If, contrary to all my expectations, they shall honestly carry out the pin ciples which they .profess, they- shall have my votes for their measures, not for themselves. It may be, too, sir, that a state of thiiiga may occur, wimen 1 shall not support those whooppose them. If it does Sshall take a choice of evils. I shall en dorse for neither. and 'expect my position still to be in the oppositon, supportitng the measures of the Ad mi nistrationt when right as I have heretofore (lone but not, in the slightest degree,connect ing myself with that Administration. 1 claim no sort of credit for this, sir, wholly itndependenit as 1 am of Execttive patronge and pd~er, having no wish connected with public life but for the sp)eedy termination of my own, and ,esisn;ga myslft nn 1 should. ifI could ex change the service of such constituents, as I have, for any office in the gift of any President. All humble as I.am, thanks to the no blest constituency that ever man had, I am here as an independent power; I am no man's man: i owe allegiance to no man; I have a carte hlanche from my constituents to do whatever I think for the public ood. And I well know that as long as I am faithful in the discharge of my duties; if I do err-as err. I must-their kindness will forgive me. And if, sir, I could so far for get what is due to myself, as to debase my self into a party or personal minion and parasite, I have too much respect for them to do it. No, sir. I feel the luxury of this freedom too much, to barter it away. "I would no! my unhoused free condition, put into circumscription and confine, for the seas' worth." There is but one authority on earth to which I submit my public con - duct. and to that I bow in willing and grateful homage, the anthority of my con stituents, an authority only felt in kind ness and al'ection, as gentle, as soothing and forgiving as a mother. Miscellaneous. From te Charleston Mercury. ON THE INTRODUCTION OF THE SILK CULTURE. Mesers. Editors.-Will the making of Silk prove sulliciently profitable to insure its general introduction, as a branch of ag ricultural labor? This is indeed the basis n)u which the success or failure of the Silk Cult ure must and will depend. It will of course avail nohiig to show, that we possess a climate and soil every way pro propitious for making Silk, and that there will be a ready marker for it when made lit cannot al;o beshown that it will prove a profitable branch of industry. We may start then with the general, but well known fact,that.all countries that have cultivated Silk to any extent. have found it an extensively profitable business. %% ould China and Italy-countries blessed by nature with a soil and climate highly ,favorable to all the productions of all the most valuable staples of anriculture, so long have made Silk the most extensive taple. had it not been found profitaLle? 1i Italy nd France, the profits on labor and capital invested, are estimated from 30 to 100 per cent. It will be more easy and more to the point, to ascertain what are the profits of Silk growing-in tbe.U. States, firom the comtnan Mulberry, and if it can be shown that Silk can be made profitably from the common M ulberry, the introdie'tion of the Morus Auluicaulis or Chita Mulherry, has produced a new era in the culture of silk. In the Silk Manu al, prepared by Richard Rush, Secretary of the Treasury of the United States, in obedience to a Rrsolution of Congress in 1828. there is a statement of the profiis frn au acre planted with the White Mul berry. The estimate is made by John Fitch, of Mansfield, Connecticut, a town where there has probably been more Silk raised than any other in the Union. Mr. Fitch states that an acre of full grown tr-es of the common Mulherry, 1a rods apart, will produce 40 lbs of Silk. He estimates the labor na follows: For the first three weeks, one woman, or children whose services would he eqoal to such a person. For the next 12 or 14 days, five hands, or what would be equal to five if done by children, for picking off the balls and reeling the Silk. About the same a mount of labor for thesame time for spin ing the Silk labor to the amount of 834; the 40 lbs. of Silk, at the lowest cash price, would now bring 8320. Labor and board he estimate-s at 880, spinning 34-that would leave $206 clear profits on an acre. If the Silk should not be spu. but only reeled, the labor wvoutld cost 80, and the silk in that stale brings 85 per lb. A t a Silk Meeting held at New Brighton, Pennsylvania. on the 12th Feb ruary, there was submitted by Dr. Cham berlain, a statement from R. L. Baker, in relation to the Silk business, at Economy, Beaver contoty, Pennsylvania. 11r. Ba ker it appears was the bu'stness represent ative of the society at Economny. There were exhibited at the meetina several spe cimens of Silk manufactured from the treesant Economy such as S-eving. Silk, Handkerchiefs. Ladies Dresses, plain and igured Satin Vestings, Silk Velvet, &e. The sathples were afterwards placed in the hands of Gideon B. Smith, of Balti more. He states that they are "pro noneed b~:~Ojudlges frst rate goods of their kind, a'nd fas uperior in web and_ texture io 'o~susually imported." The 'estimate does not state the number of a crew s enjikbhe trees were planted, and from rbic - nejntity was made; there were aho t00 rees, principally ofrthe NVhite-Mtih rrv that number of the Chi na Mulherry iould have required three acres. The r-aw Silk made per. year from the 15,000 trees was 150 lbs., this is stater'. to prodnce 3031 yards of dress Silk,:ae 81 per yard, equal to 3031 dollars- The whole expense of feeding the vormns,.reel ing, spinning, weavitrg, dyeing, interest on. investment, etc. $1479 50;' this leaves a clear profit of $1552 50. This was the, amount cleared in 1833,-certainly a' splendid profit. As the Morus Multicaulis is likely to come into general use for Sillk Culture. it will be more to the purpose io ascertain, if -possible, the prodit that may be expected from making Silk from it. Its reputation is now so firmly established by long continued and rigid experiment, that there is no ground-for doubting its supe riority; it hass been ascertained from ex perients, that atn acre plhnted in the cut in.:. of Ibo C'uincne Mulberry, will fccd the second year of their growth 600,000 Silk Worms. That it requires from 9 to 4000 worms to make a pound of Silk, say 4000, the produt e then would be 150 lbs. Silk. This in its raw state will readily sell for $750. The expense of making the cocoons, reeling the silk, including in terest on investment, is estimated not to exceed $2 per pound; -this leaves a clear profit of$450 per acre. At the Annual Fair of the American Institute, Mr J. Danforth addressed a communication to the Comminee on Silk, stating an experi ment which he made last Summer in feed ing the worms. The experinent was made in East Hartford, Connecticut. The eigbth of an acre of land, the soil light and sandy. of a quality called good corn land, was measured off, and set with trees and roots of the Morus Mullicaulis of one years growth. The whole number was sevea hundred and eighty, one third were twcr feet high, one third were one foot stripped oftheir limbs.and the remainder roots. ir. Danforth fed from these successive lots of trees during the Summer, in all ',. 000 worms. The first hatching was a bout the first of July, and the last had fin ished their labors by the 10th of Septem ber, he made from them 9 bushels of.co coons or 95 lbs. Theyyielded- at -the rate of 72 ls per acre, worth at $5 per l. $360. The expense of making it, he says, is estimated not -to exceed. two dl: lars per lb.; that leaves a uett profit of $216 per acre, obtained from small trees of the previous season's growth. Hesays,. of this experiment it may be observod that none of the persons who tookcare of the trees, gathered the leaves or-fed tie worms, had ever seen a tree or.Sill.. Worm before; the feeding was only for . two mouths and ten days, and the crop' was all produced.in four months, including the time of planting the trees, and that the product was ten hundred and ninety skeins of Silk of forty %yards each. Does the result of these experiments in, dicate that the Silk Culture will proielsu ciently profitable to establish it as a''Per mauent business in the U. S. or not? ECONOMIST. ExAMINATION m GamxAn, AT A FassiOA. BLE SEMINARY FOR YoOUNG. LADIss---Pray Alis, what part of speech is the Parsonof the parish* I suppose he is a conjunction. 3adam. 'a conunction, Miss? What kind of a conjuo. tionm? A copulative conjunction, Madam. * Why a copulative conjunction? Because he "connects like cases, and like moods and tenses." How does lie "connect like cases?" Ile unites parties, both of whom are intorc; which I take to be, that both are in the saft case. Very well. How does he cone "like moods?" . The parties to be united are, I suppose,. boit in a mood to, be married, and are thus in "like moods." But how does ie connect "like tenses?" If both are desirous, at the time of the cere mony, of being innnediately united, as 1, pre sume, is always the case. then both, are, at that time, in the present tense, and thus he "connects like tenses.". Does such a copulative conjunction connect like genders? No, Madam, that is not according to the rules of Cupid's grammar. His rule is, that "copulative conjunctions connect unlike gen ders. or rather contrary gonders; that is, m= culine and feminine-never the neuter," Very nell indeed, Miss. your examination: does you mouch credit; you may pass.
