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.

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?

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:
