To our Subscribers, and the friends of the South ern Agriculturist. This number closes our Volume; and we hope our sulvacribers have been in some nmen sure enlightened, from the communications of nur contributors, and the selections we have misde from different sources. The Publisher has concluded to continue this Journal, as heretofore. monthly, and in its present form; the'encouragement tendered Fias not been sufficient to enable him to carry his proposed race/dy publication into effect The propriety of continuing the Journal is evident, from its being a collection of valuable agricul tral articles, which ate preserved for, refer ence. The number of years and volumes cor responding now amount .to twenty-eight-so. ghat the forthcoming No. for January. will :otnmencc the 4th volume of the neo series,. mad the second year of the reduction of its sub cription price to three dollars per annun; one ollarof which may he saved. by nny two com ining and forwarding five dollars, in advance; in advantage which it is .hoped, that some of ur Agriculturists and Agricultural Societies will avail themselves.. The monthly numers at the close of the vo ume should be bound, and not suffered to lie ii their loose state; when bound, they serve or a book of reference, and will continue to add volumes to the Farmer's Library. This is madvanta-e ourJournal has over a nercspaper. ublished either weekly or monthly, which is too unwieldy to be handled after it is bond ad which it is difficult to preserve in a family when loose. He therefore trusts, that the Patrons of the Journal will not withdraw their names from. but rather add to hisnsubscription lists, all whom they can persuade. He will furnish a copy to the Secretary ofanyAgricultural Society, who will furnish the reports occasionally made at thr meetings. Many lie has copied from the. newspapers, which ini. few.years will.only.be. found in the pages of this Journal. The Agriculturist is published by A. E. Mil ler, Charleston, S. C. From the Southern Cultivator. OUR SECOND VOLU.l E. The first volume-of the "Soutlern Cul tivator" is drawing rapidly to a close only two more numbers will be required to coinplete it-when we shall enter upon the second. It i, therefore, a fit and ap propriate occasion for us to titake air ap peal to the Agriculturisis of the South, to stand by, and aid and sustain us in the enterprise. We do not appeal alone to the agriculturists, but we appeal to every friend of agriculture, ta.lend his aid in sustaining the work. Prompted by an earnest solicitude for the improvement of the systen of agriculture in our native State, as .,well as the entire South, we entered upon the publication of the work, hoping rather to make it an acceptable medium of coimunintion for the plan ters of the South, than the vehicle fnr ditfu.ing our own crude ideas upon the subject of agrienioture. We had long felt the necessity of such a work-:t work adap'end and devoted to tire protmotion arid imtlprorvement of Southern agricuir tire, whiloir should he a (forded so cheap as to placs it wvithinm the reach of every planter -atnd feeling rarther mortified at the reflec tiont that the etire Sooth furrnished no .uch' ork, we determined to embhark in the enterprie-to inotke the experignent -aud see whether the planters and fiendls of agriettlitire, for whose immediate bene fir it was de~ignied, would sustain usin our etTrts. 'Thns fai-, although tie pafron age extended :to tne present volume has quite equaled. if not surpitssed, otur ex pcttioirs, it has been hrearly- sufiieienr to defray thne actual cost of pubuiention-af fording us no re muneration for our owvn labor and. attention. It remains,- therefore, with the planters to determine 'whether this state of thines shall continnre: to deter mine, in- short, whether "the, laborer. ias wrthy' of his hire," ann. if so, to mete ot to hinm even handed justice, it has .6eeiunplg and truly said, that '-ir is the reard, or thne hope thereof, which sweet ens labor," atnd as we are not. yet enabled .1 gather together and cont the- fruits oif ourlab6rs in this behalf,'we invoke the f'iends of agricultui-e to extend to us sueb aid in. the circulation of our .paper, as tey in~y. deem it -worhy to receive al theihands. We have every disposition, and are entirely -willing, to tail- oa .in be halfof the interest. and for ther improve. meat of thectondition, both morally -and physically, 'tf our own native South; -hut as the wellf tempered steel" danot resist 6 :duch .te'nsion, we, too, must. ytield whe oolgreat.a burthen is imposed. We cannot, -tberefore, prosecute-a labor which holds out to us no inducement- in the shape- of reward; and we are quite sre the generous and noble hearted'pan tern do nor desire such asacriftee of::tiine and labor 'at our'lhands, bu' -a'ther :tjial tley desire, to .see usimpfg, yea. abun danly,jand ~iberally, rewgrded. *Withi a perect conviction, ihat .!81.s.:is the feeling of every friend who hustread .or seen the on the publication of. the second volume, indulging, the sanguine hope that our ef forts in behalf of the great agricultural interest of the South will not go unre warded, but that our friends will lend their efforts to extend its circulation and increase its usefulness. iatisfied that this is the feeling among the planters who have- read the work, we feel no delicacy in asking each of our presents patrons,. to imagine us before them in person, with hat in hand, and, -after having made our best. how, soliciting them to call and see their neighbors, and ascertain if they, too, will not become subscribers to the "South ern Cultivator." And allow us to assure you, if each of you succeed in obtaining only one subscriber, you will afford us such relief aewil! make our heart~leap for joy. Some of you can get two. some ten, and others twenty, if you will only make a little exertion. Will you, not then, unite yonr energies in behalf of the Cultivator, the, cause of agriculture, and your own interest? We hope you will; indeed,', we had almost said we know you will.. The price of subscription is only ONE DOLLAR per year, as you all know--a price which every planter can aflord to pay; and as every planter who studies his own interest, ought, in justice to that interest, take an agricultu ral paper, we hope that all such planters will have their names enrolled on our sub scription list. We need not trespass-upon the consideration and indulgence of our -friends, the Agricultural Clubs of the State,. for we feel quite assured that they will not neglect us in this hour of need. CLUBS. We remark, in corclusion, that in or der to offer every inducement to clubs to subsribe, the following terms will in fu ture, be adopted: - 6 copies for $5 00 .25 " . 20,00 110-. . 75 00 These .terms; should meet the approba tion of every. friend of the work, and, we trust, will excite an increased zeal in its behialf. With these remarks, we com mit tie work to the hands of its friends. POLITICAL. From the Washington Spectator. A; Conversation on Pennsylvania Avenue between the Editor and a Whig member of Congress.. Member.-Well, Mr. Heart, I see that you Calhoun men are regularly tried up, and swallowed by Van Buren's people. Are'yotr dead nr alive? Editor.--Why I hope naive,' although swallowed-and nmay be like andthe,' Jo nah, will appear again one of these day s. But drop your poetry, and come to plain prose.. What do you- mean? Member.-Mean! why that Van Buren, by his superior tactics, has nauaed the whole of you. The principle of the Res toration is complete, in the organization of the House. All the old candidates of the party-Jones for Spenker, Blair for Printer, Dow for Doorkeeper-and evet Garland for Clerk. but that the West Would4 not stand so rapacious a monopoly of offices by the Old Dominion, and all tnorough pledged Van Buren men. :l understand you tried to push in a Calhoun man from Georgia ns Clerk. but it would not do; and poor Kendall was thrust out too,- because he did not realize the two grand purposes-d Van Buren tri umph, and Restorationt. This is- capital for its; for it shows what we are to expect by Van Buren's re-election;-and it is to you Calhoun men, a regular memento nori, asa to your posit ion in the Democratic par tj. You arc to be pt'oscribed, and, when politic,uiurdered. Do you understand? Editor.-Oh, certainly; biut I think you do not unsdersttind yourself. so far as Mr.: Calhoun's friends ate e'oneerndd. Your facts are 'all right-bet ter than your inferences; and had I been as friend of M r4 Van Buren's and could have prevent. ed it, you should ntot. have been able to make them. Conciliation, in his position, is fir-better for him - than any seeming tri umph in the organization of the House. Every trittmph over any portion of the Democratic paftyi, to him, is a loss.- 'And the. principle of Restoration, .although capital for the old otfice-holdersy will-, I think, do him. in. the North'-especially, but little good. But, asto *Calhaun's friends, I understand ihey aceted on. this principle: to make thsoficers of the House, nut the choice of a portion of the party, but, of the party. They proposed' in thie Democratic' cesucus-io acco'mplish 'this objec-titat.fir a nomination, two-thirds of the metmbcrs present should be requi e'd. .This rendered sit impossible for.Mr. Van Buren's friends s~lope to make.. the officers.. This course wyas adopted. They then mdde no struggle for the officers, al lowing the'wisdoma and jistice' of th56 ma jority to control. Membe,-Wisdnm .andijustice! Well!' this is capital.' By Jove,:if you' Calhoutn men are not, the most remarskable gulls! I was very .nearly assimilating - on to 'anuther hird, whi-ch once saved.the oman captaI- 'Wisd?mn and justice! - .Editor.-My good str, 'will you ie so kind as to tell me 'what Mr. C's' frietnds have lost, by the. organtzation of the .House? I Il imdierstind'you,.,you. think, decidedly,'that'-Mr, Van ~Bureh will be 1njored by the pr'oicriptive and Restora tion jiolicy 'it announces.' Member.Certamuly; that is clear.... *Editor..WelI, ,then,.if 31r. Van Burea and. .Mr.. Galhouni are rivals, whatever Injures him. :ailis Mr. Calhoun. Memnber.-That is, if Mr. Calhoun is a candidate: but the effect of these move ments is to rule him off. - -. Editor.-Rnle him offt This may bi the view of: trading-politicians, wbotthinl that the Presidency is - a mere game o power amongst the few. But, my dear sir, do you give the .Cathouiportion o the Democratic party, at-least, the credit of looking to principles and the.people in the matter of the Nresidency. They differ from the Van Buren portion of the Democratic party on two points: 1. The Tariff. 2.' The organization of the Na; tional Convention. ' Now, answer me. How could making the Speaker, Door keeper, &c. of the House of Representa tives, affect-these qnestiongV" Member.- -Not at all, exeepting as 'ex bibitions of power in the party. Editor.-Every body knows that Mr. Van Buren's friends arE in the majority-of the Democratic party iN Cctigressl so there is no need of showing- that. Member.-But there.is great 'pd*er in the spirit of a minority. *Yon have shove no spirit of resistance. Editor.-Mr. Calhoun's friends could gain nothing by showing spirit, where the difference was only about men filling offices--all equally competent to do their duties. There is not on the-floor a more thorough free-trade man than Joties. They took care that he should not and could not be put into office by Van- Buren' men.alone, and'as to the rest, they cared nothing about it. Unnecessary spirit, is always-folly. Memnber.-Then you don't consider yourselves thrashed and used up by the Van Buren men? . Editor .-Ifyou call being il a minority, made by arraugemdnts fairly constituted for the protection of the minority, at, our instance, -being used up-why, We are used up; but, if a determination to stand by our principles, and the man who repre sents them, as firmly as- ever, will show that we are still "alive and kicking," you will not only see, but --feel; -'before this Congress is over, the reality of our exis tence. . Member.-You. will go, I suppose, for a repeal of our. Protective Tariff; Editor.-Certainly. Menber.-And the Van Buren men will dodge and deceive you, as they have done t wice before. If they find you can 'not pass your bill in the Senate, they may vote fot it, but never ,tferwise . Edior.-Well', we can but try;and4j Mr. Vati -Bureu's frietds think prope to take position :with you Whigs -on -tbis question-well, I suppose you willreceive them into your arms also on the Presiden cy; but, as for us, we will tell you when this war is done, exactly where -yon wiH find-us. In -the mean time, watch' out flag in the fight, and the eagle which flies over it. Events will, show where Free Trade and the District method of organiz ing the National Convention will plani it. But wherever it moves, be assured - that there are high hearts, with stern resolves, bearing it onward to its destined victory. .Member.-Victory! Do you mean it the Presidency? Poh! my friend. Van is to be the man, bless the stars! we are to meet;. and, we intend to give him sue att immortality, that revenge shall love an4 gloat on it. History shall bear dowr his name to posterity as the man who,.by his selfish lust for power, twice destroyed his patty. Editor.-That cannot be, if the Demo cratic party is united is peticy. Member.-United in policy -or not,-w will beat vote with such a candidate; " Bu you can't be united in policy. '['lie Rich. mood and Albany JIruto-will never let thi little States- have- any thin~g to do- witl making the President and, as to the' Ta riff, it was settled by the Syracuse Reso hution. Clay will be the great man of t9 day-and Calhour,. of a hundred year hence. *As to Van it will be with him as an old writer says of'.his literary antag onist-"his fame shall 'go out, as the stnul of a'candile, and will stink to aleternityl' "Lunod lbye-don't cry." - Editor.-"ousverronzs!" as old Rit chi says.
