aSe great degree of interest in tbis cnm

FIELDING R. CLLP.
The following proper and jus.t remarka
we copy from the latltmore Clipper:
United .blates Senator.--W e regret an
see it suggested in the Doily Whig, that the
-* Senate of Maryland should not go into the
election for U. S. Sentator at alhe approach
tog session of the legimlnture. A nd why
should this course he adopted! Because
the whig~s have lost the state! This ts not
a sufficient reason-nor woumld it have been
admitted by the whigp had the result beeni
reversed. We are opposed to all such
movemtenas. When a political battle ii
fough', thme victors are entitled to all the
advantnges of their position. It is no jns.
tificatin to allege that the same thing bad
been done in other states. What is wroon
there cannot be right here. The step pro
posed ought to destroy nny party that
would adopt it. The wbigs have lost the
astte, it is said, by their own divisions and
folly, and they sbotid be content to suffer
the consequences. We hope that the Sen
ate will go into the election of U. 8. Sen
ator-for this was a promiinent point with
both parties during she contest. Politicians
abould not forget the maxim "to do 'unte
ethers as they would have others to do in
to them."
"We took the liberty .yesterday of en.
taring our disent to the recommendatior
of the Daily Whig, that the Senate nl
Maryland shall refuse to go into the efec.
. ion of U. 8. Senator as abe next sessIon,
For this the Whig advises that we shall
stick to our neutrality. This is preciselj
what we have done and mean to doas ed
itors, and hence our condemnation of thbe
eourse reeatumended by the Whig. The
editor intimates that in case of thte future
success of the wbig party, the senior editot
I. a oppets.V 1be did not, his.future
fate.would ifer from his past expe"tence.
-Neither kicks nor copers, however. can
mdke him prove fals. to his. principles.
He cannot wink at a wrong by one. party
which he would openly condemn in anoth
er-and be therefore repeats, that, if the
Senate adopt tite advice of the Whig. and
refuse to go into the-election of Senator. it
not only ought to destroy, but it will de
stroy, the party in this State to which the
majority of Senptors is attached.
South-Carolina Iron.-This Iron for ad
hesiveness, strength and malleability, is
thought to be superior to any iron, foreign
or domestic. It is used at the Navy Yard
at Washington. anJ will be used by Gnv
eranment ror gun barrels. The iron region.
indeed, in York and Spartanburg, South
Carolina; and in all that section, ruuning
up to Lincoln, North-Carolina, is as fine
as any in the world. Nor is there superi
or water power any where. And yet with
Sallthese advantages, Soutb-Carolina has
led for years a thick-skulled opposition
against the very policy which would bring
into use her natural resources. and give
work to her population. Perverseness,
pride and pauperism are the distinguished
characteristics of the Palmetto State.
Philadelphia Chronicle. '
The Tims.-The almost universal em
barrassment under which the country now
labours. enjoins upon all the duty of recip
rocal furbearance. Muhitudes of men,
qualified for every kind of businesa, are
seeking in vain, the means of honest sub
sistencein default of which, their facul
ties are stagnating in idleness. This is the
necessary result of that wild spirit of ad
venture which seized upon all classes
*ome years ago Few escaped the con
tagion which possessed men of the gra
vesl pursuits and the most sober character.
The thirst of sudden wealth by novel
means seems like an epidemic to fall pen
odically upon the community, without
distiocinn orpersons. conditions. or pur
suits. Man is an imitative and gregariou%
animal, and few have sufficient individual
independence to defend them from a gen
eral, pervading influence. This should
teach us charity ior the errors of our fel
low men, who are impelled and hurried a
long by the popular current. Few are
stoic or philosophers, and let him that
.star.deth take heed lest he fall.
We have made these remarks %ita the
view of inculcating forbearance towards
those who are depressed or stricken downt
by the recoil of that *pring of enterprise
which a few years ago was so inordinate-ly
strained. Few there are, who have no'

Daring Filliaa.-We have scarcely ever
recordedl a more darinig piece of villainy
than that which occurred on Sunday nighi
;nst. The villian, and perhaps the murder
er, whoever he wasn, entered the dwelling
of Mr. Thomas Rutter, situated in Hatno
vor, near Lee street, and made- his way
into a room in which a .son of Mr. Rlutter
slept. In this room was kcpt an unoadedl
musket. The rascal loade- the piece, anti
so placed it, primed and cocked, on the
mantle piece. that by the slightest touch
the charge could be lodged in the head of
the sleeper, if he should awake. Thus
prepared the robber proceeded to his work
of pilfering, and collected a considerable
amount of clothing. In the mean tiene the
sot awakes and enquires, is that you fathi
er? to which question the robber said yes.
Atre you sick? Yes. Shall I go for a Doe
tor! No. 1 am going out, and thirak I will
be better in a fewy minutes. The villian
left the room then with his ootey, aid the
son nas again soon in the land of dreams.
In the morning his father waked hinm, and
found the gun in the position described.
and the room wanting in many valuable
articles. The conversation which had
passed was brought to recollection. atnd all

tion from the initendedl murder of the bur
glar, if the contingency should have called

Happiness of Pags.-The following ise
the conclusion of the learned and phil,
sophical report on swine, by WVilliam, Lin
coln, at the agriculiu'al fair held at Alba
nry, a short time since.
Pigs are a happy people. We may talk
disparagingly about living like a pig. To
live like a pig is to live like a gentleman.
Although it is not permitted by the order of
nature that a pig should laugh, or even
smile, he enjoys the next best blessing of
humanity. the disposition to grow faL.
Ilow easily he goes through the world!

taught and is daily teaching him its great utility.
Acti-on and reaction is a common operation in
the lawsl die physical world, and occupy the
relation orfanse and effect, in regard to many
results. that are partially taking place. Whes
tihe pLimer shall become familiar with the ac
tion ofihe earthy substances upon vegetalle
and animal mauer, which in the form ofmanure
has beetn commingled with them. and of the re
action of the manure upon die earth in impurt
ing to it those fertilising elements, whichsapply
foond to the apongioles of the growing plant, he
will be better qu dlified to understand its effects
upon, and its incalculable value to the growing
crop.
%rious opinions prevail among practical
men in regard to rie best mude of applying
manure. I am persuaded that no general rule
can be proscribed, which shall be adopted to
all soilp and localities Each planter must de
termine for himself, having reference to the
character of his lands, the condition of the ma
nure, the period of the year when can'ed to the
fieids, the comparative convenience and des
patch of the different modesof distribution, and
various other considerations, which the circa".
%tances of earh individual can alone suggest to
die mind. There is one rule which may be
considered as generally applied to all modes of
manuring, whether it is placed upon or depos
ted under the surface of the earth, which is to
apily the best rotted manure to those plants of
quickest growth and maturity. and oeessre.
The remaining modes of improving lands
withiin the range of the practicable opetations
of the plater, are rotations of crops, occasional
rest of impoverished fieli, and the tuing
lunder such green crops of oats. rye. clover or
buckwheat as time and opportunity will allow.
A most extraordinary prejudice prevails with
many persons, that rest to the land is of no ad
vautage. The common belief that weeds,
grass. and other vegetable products, ohaust
the soil by their growth as much as they restore
to their decay, is founded, I humbly conceive,
in great fallacy. If this supposition were true,
lands would receive no amelioration by growing
up in forests, a resultso obvious and indisputa
ble, that io man in hisusenses would at :ais dav
have the hardihood to deny the fact. T- timo
was when the earth was destitute of planis, and
when it the progress of the mutation, to which
its surface was subjected, they began to grow,
they must have derived their limited nourish.
ment from the elements of air and water. In
this primitive condition of the earth, there was
no organ-c mattcr.tnd it was only after the
lapse of years that the growth and subsequent
deiay of both animal and vegetable substanes
imparted to the earth this pecundating ingre

for the nutriment of the whole vegetable king

is best adapted to the preseration of our land.

that which consists of the making and applica.
