Harrison, on the subject of Slavery have been much misrepresented in the South, the following extracts from an Address, delivered by him at Vinconnes, (Indiana,) two years since, will satisfy the public in this respect. I have now. fel'ow citizens, a few words more, to say on another subject, and which is, in my opinion, of more importance than any other that is now in the course of discussion in any part of the Union. I allude to the societies which have been formed, and the movements of cert- in individuals in some of the States in relation to a portion of the population in others. The con. duct of these persons is the moro dangerous, because iheir object is masked under the garb of disinterestedness and benevolence ; and their course vindicated by arguments and propositions which in the abstract no one can deny. Hut, howev r fascinating may bo the dress witn which their schemes are presented to their fellowcitizens, with whatever purity of intention they may have been formed and sustained, they will be found to carry in their train mischief to the whole Union, and horrors to a large portion of it, which, it is probable some of the projectors and many of their supporters have never thought of; the latter, tho first in the series of evils which are to spring from their source, are such as you havo seen perpetrated on the fair plains o: Jralv nnd Gaul, by tb? Scythian hordes of Attila and Alaric; nnd such as most of you apprehended upon that memorable night, when the tomahawks and war clubs of the followers ofTesumseh were rattling in your suburbs. I regard not the disavowals of any such intention upon the part of the authors of these schemes, since, upon the examination of the publications which have been made, they will be found to contain the very fuc s, and very argument which would have been used, if such had been I their object. I am certain that there is not, in this assembly, one of these deluded men, and that there are few within the hounds of the Siate. If there are any; i would earnestly entreat them to forbear ; to pause in their career, nnd deliberately consider the consequence of their conduct to the whole Union, to the States more Immediately interested, and to those for whose benefit they profess to act. That the latter will be the vicrims of the weak, injudicious, presumptuous and unconstitu* tional efforts to serve them, a thorough oxamination of the subject must convince them. Tne struggle (and struggle there must be) may commence with horrors such rs I have described, but i; will end with more firmly riveting the chains, or in the utter extirpation of those whose cause they advocate. I I wrong fellow-ciiizens, in applying the terms weak, presumptuous and uncon. stitu'ionpl, to the measures of theemancipa. tors? A slight examination will, I think, show that I am not. In a vindication of the objects of a Conveniion which was lately held in one of the towns of Ohio, which I saw in a newspaprr, it was said that nothing more was intended than to product* a sta e of public feeling which would lead to an amendment of tho Constitution, author* wing the abolition ofSIavery in the United States. Now can an amendment of the Constitution be eff*cted without the consent of the Southern States? What th"n is the proposition to be submitted to them ? It is this;?"The present provisions ol the Uon- | stiiution secures to you the right (a right I which you held before it was made, which you have never given up,) to manage your domestic concerns in your own way, bui as we are convinced that you do not manage them properly, we want you to put in the hands of the General Gevernment, in the councils of which we have the majority, the control over these matters, the eff ct of which will be virtually to transfer the power Jrom yours into our hands." Again, in some of the States, and in sections of others, the black population far exceeds that of the white. Some of the emancipator* propose an immediate abolition. What is the proposition then, as it regards the States und parts of States, but the alternatives of amal. {tarnation with the blacks, or an exchange of situations with them ? Is there any man of common sense who does net beli -vo that the emancipated blacks, being a majority, will not insist upon a full participation of political righ;s with the whites; and when possessed of these, they will not contend for a full share of social rights also ? What but the extremity of weakness and folly could induce any one to think, that such propositions as these could he listened to by a people so intelligent as the Southern States ? Further. The emancipators generally declare that it is their intention to ef. feet their object (although their acts contradiet the assertion,) by no other means than by convincing the slaveholders that the immediate emancipation of the slaves is called for, both by mora! obligation and sound policy. An unfledged youth, at the moment of his leaving (indeed in many instances before he has left if.) his Theologi. cal Seminary, undertakes to give loctures upon morals to the countrymen of Wythe, Tucker, Pendleton and Lowndes, and lessons of political wisdom to States, whose affuirs have so recently been directed by Jeflersonand Mod son, Macon and Craw ford, is it possible, that instances of greater vanity and presumption could be exhibited ? But the course pursued by the emancipators is unconstitutional. I do not say (hat there ure any words in the Constitution which forbid the dscussions they are engaged in; I know that there are not. And citizens the right to express and publish their opinions without restriction. But iu the construction of the Constitution, it is al. ways necessary to refer to the circumstances under which it was framed, and to ascertain its meaning by a comparison of its provisions with each other, and with the - ( previous situation of the several States who were parties to it. In a portion of these, slavery was recognized, and they took care to have the right secured to them ; to follow Ind rficl&im such of them as were fugitives to edit? States. The laws of Congress passed under this poower, have provided i punishment to any who shall oppose or inCorrupt the exercise of this right. Now can < any one believe, that the instrument which I contains a provision of this kind, whicii i authorizes a master to pursue his slave n!o i another State, take him back, and provides i a punishment for any cnizen, or citizens of that Slate who should oppose bim, should, at the same time, authorize the latter to as~ semble together, to pass Resolutions and adept Addresses, not only to encourage he Slaves to leave their masters, but to cut their throais before they do so ? I insist that if the citizens of the nonslavehol iing Slates can avail themselves f the article of the Constitution, which prohibits the restriction of speech or the press to publish any thing injurious to the rights of the slave-holding S ates, that they can go to the extreme that I have men ioned. and effect any thing further which wri ing or speaking could effect. 13u;, fellow-citizeus, these are not the principles of the Const i.ution. Such a cons ruction would defeat one of the great objects of its formation, which was that of securing the peace and h irmony of the States w hich were par. ties to it. The liberty orspeech and of the press, were given as the most effectual "'"?ns m nrfscrve to each and every cit zen their own rights,and to the Stares the rights which appertained to them, at the time of their adoption. It could never have been expected that i would be used by the citL z -ns of one portion of the States for the purpose of depriving those of another portion, of the rights which they had reserved at the adoption of the Consiitu ion, and in the exercise of which, none but themselves have any concern or interest.. If slavery is an evil, the evil is with them. If there is gudt in it, the guilt is theirs, not ours, since neither the States where it does not exist, nor the Government of the United Siates can, without usurpation of power, and the violation of u solemn compact, do any thing j to ri move it without the consent of those ( who ore immediately interested. Bjt they ( will ne ther ask for aid, nor consent to bo aided whilst the illegal, persecuting and , dangerous movements ore in progress, of , which I complain ; the interest of ?I1 con- , corned requires that these should be stopped immediately. This can only be done by , the force of public opinion, and that cannot ( too soon be brought in o operation Every ? movement which is made by the Abolition- { ists in the non-slaveholding Slates, is viewed by our Southern brethr nasan a'taek upon their rights, and which, if persisted in, must in the end eradicate those feelings of attachment and affection between the ci'iz ns of all the States w h'cb was produced by a j community of interests and dangers in the War of Revolution, which was the foun. | dalionof our happy union, and by a con. ( tinuance of which, it can alone be preserved. I entreat you then, to frown upon the meas. ( ures which are to produce results so much to be depreciated. The opinions wh ch I have now given, I liuve omitted no oppor- ( lunity for the last two years to lay befoie the people of my own State. I have tak *n the liberty to express them here, knowing ' that even if they should unfortuuat'dy not ( accord with yours, that they would be kindly received. THB BROWN CORN. < The Brown corn from the Winipisseogee i lake. From a crop of corn which received a second premium of the Strafford Agricuhuial Society one year ago, having yield, od one hundred and seven bushels to the acre, I procured ten bushels of seed corn last winter, which was distributed in different places. Some of this corn suffered from dampness and exposure on its way after it left Concord, in other cases it was soaked either before or after it was put in the ground and did not spring to vegetation. I planted myself on about three acres one bushel of the seed, generally "ht three kernels in the hill; and there was scarcely a fai. lure. The excellence of 'his corn consis's in its large kernel and full ear, filling after i it is shelled nearly an equal apace with the corn and cob?its great quantity of ears in proportion (o the bulk of stalk, and ita early maturity. A portion of my fHd was in the sand of the river bank where about twenty loads of coarse winter manure to the acre only were spread before planting ; here the corn came to maturity earlier, and the crop is less But on that part of the field manured two seasons in succession, where there was less sand and mere s*rength, th? crop of corn is as heavy as it may well be : it ripened so as to be out of danger from on the first of September, and is nearest to early ripening ot any kind of corn within i my knowledge to the diminu'ive Canada corn, which produces less than half in quantity upon the same ground, and which requires so great a stock of patienceto g ither and husk in quantities. This Brown corn carried South will be quite as sure of an ample space of time to grow in a short season perhaps as any other. We had better pay a fourfold price for seed corn raised and brought to us from the distance of one hundred miles north than to have the gift of the same kind of corn brought to us from a climate which either by elevation or distance on the mAp measures the climate of two degrees south. Gov. Hill. From the Gennessee Farmer. FINE CATTLE IN CONNECTICHT. Mr. Tucker?The following is a specimen of the spiritwhich some of the farmers possess in a Down East State. On the 4th of Nov. Inst., five or six farmers assembled at Ware House Point, East Windsor, to ascertain the weight of their most valuable animals. With only three days notice, there was on the ground nearly ninety head mostly a mix ure of the Short Horn breeds. There was fifteen pair of matched oxen, weighing on an average, 3,000 lbs. to the pair?the least of which was a pair of two year old stears, color cheiry red, half blood Short Horns, owned by Samuel W. Bartlett, weighing 2,250 lbs. The largest, owned by Aiman Noble, weighing 8,510 lbs. Also eleven miieh cows, the largest owned by Wm. Barnes, Esq* half blood Short Bom, weight 1,403 lbs. Thirteen j one and two year old heifers; yearlings weighing from 817 to 925 lbs., two year old, one owned by Jonathan Culton, a full blood from the slock of the Hon. Levi Lincoln, of Worcester, Massuchuse.ts, weigh. I ing 1,110 los. and has been mi'ked thro >gh the summer; one owned bv Samuel W. Barth'tt, seven-eights Short Horn, weighing 1,150 lbs. Calves?there were twentythree ; their color red, red and white, and white ; a most beautiful variety?one pure Short Horn bull calf, three and a hall months old, weight 325 lbs., brought up by hand, owned by Jain-s Pasco, Jr. One seven-eigh s blood Shert Horn bull, two and a half years old, weight 1.409 lbs., owned by Jonathan Colon. Several pair of one year old steers not in yok< s?the whole making a h ast to many spectators. A Farmer. Wa re Mouse Point, East Windsor, Conn. Nov. 10. From he Genessee Farmer. a good CROP op millet. Mr. Tucker;?A few days since, Mr. Tinokelpaugh, of VVayne county, calhd at the seed store with a quantity of very fine millet, and on m king some inquiries of hiin respecting this crop, he gave me the following account, which, as the r"sult f an experim nt, is worth recording, and may bo interesting to some ol your read ers. Mr. T. said he hid seen in the agricul. turul papers some flattering accounts of the millet crop, und therefore determined o give it a trial. He selected for this purpose two acres of new land, such as is terineu good corn ground, being a rich sandy loam It was only ploughed once and well liar, rowed. The seed was sown 'he 31 day of June, at the rate of seven or eight quints o the acre, and harrowed in The crop grew finely, and was cut on the 15th d;?y of August. It was threshed by a machine and i yielded 160 bushels of clean grain, or 80 bushels to the aero. The stiaw made excellent fodder for cattle, and was worth more than two acres of good grass liny.? Mr. T. fed out most of the grain to hogs, ind considers it worth as much for feeding is the s imo weight of com or peas. 11 weighs about 50 lbs. to the bushel. iViien Ejround into meal and mixed with cooked vegetables, die. it is a very superior food for fattening hogs And on the whole, Mr. T. cons.ders it a most valuable and certain srop. Yours, M. BATEMAN. From the Tennessee Farmer. BADBN CORN. I have cult:v ?led the B ?den corn the two last seasons on good land, also cultivated he common kind (large white corn) s:de ! by side; 'ho cultivation the same; except thn Rii/t <?n rr>onirP4 murit tim?? lo Sucker it. '"1 - * - With care I thon measured nnd weighed the corn of both kinds in several plams, and the result is, that both kinds weighed about 60 lbs. p?T busnel, nnd the Baden corn produced full one-third more rorn per acre jthnn tho ot: er. Boili kinds were good ; the Baden 70 bushels per aero, and requires double the labor to gather, husk and crib it, that it does common kind. Where the Baden corn is cultivated for ? ock, to be f d standing in the held to hogs, arcul up ut the ground and s acked or shocked, and fed to stock without huskjng, it is unrivalled by any kmd I have ever seen. Tho ears are small and numerous, and well suited for cattle. Many persons do not like it?it being tedious to handle. J. W. F. Princeton Ky., Nov. 13,18d9. We think our correspondent has stated the merits and detner ts of the Baden corn with great justice. Our experience with this corn corroborates all his stttenvnts.? On good ground (it is labor lost to attempt to grow it on thin soil) it produces more grain, side by side with other varieitea, but is greatly more tedious and troub csome to gather, husk and crib.
