From the National Intelligencer. We congratulate our readers upoi their being put in possession of the lw< subjoined papers, which whether we con s.-der the character of the writers, or th< importance of the subject, cannot but b< universally read with the deepest inter est. We find them in the Louisville Journa to which they have been communicatee for publication bv the author of a seriei of very able papers, which appeared in tha paper during the early part of last wintei on the subject of the mode of elect on o President of the United States, the objec of which was to commend and revive th( plan proposed, many years ago, by tht venerable James IIillhou.se, formerly foi a long time a Senator from Connecticut A correspondent in Connecticut, aftei reading this series of papers, placed ir the hands of the Author the Letters o Judge Marshall and Mr. Crawford, callec forth by the original proposition of Mr, Hillhouse, which is substantially am correctly stated in the Louisville Journa us follows: "Rich Senator, belonging to the class 7 O O whose term of service will first expire shall, in the alphabetical order of theii names, draw an ivory bull from a box containing as many balls as there art Senatprsof that class, one of which to be colored, the others white; tlieS^natoi rlpQti'mn iho pn!/irf>rl h:itl tit ho tlip Prf>?si.

We do not propose to encumber with any remarks of ours the valuable Letters which follow; but we must be allowed, as an exception, to point out to our readers the striking and very remarkable similarity of the views of these twodistinguished men, writing simultaneously without concert or consultation with each other. Woodland June 4, 1840. My Dear Sir: [ received with much pleasure your letter of the 12tlr ultimo, from Washington, accompanied by the pamphlet which was enclosed. I received this token of friendly recollection with more pleasure, as I pass my time in great retirement, and mix and mingle hut little with those who ore now actively engaged in the State or Federal (iovernments. I recollect distinctly the propositions of amendment to the Constitution i _ a _ a wnicn you sunnmteu lomeoenaie menty-two years ago, and which I then sc-. conded. At that time I had not made up my mind definitely upon the principle of tlie amendment. Reflection and experience have convinced me that the amendment is correct. I am now convinced that great talents are not necessary for tho Chief Magistrate of the nation. A moderate share of talents, with integrity of character and conduct, is all that is necessary. * * * * * But I am not certain that the ration is prepared for such an amendment. There is something fascinating in the idea of selecting the first talents in the nation for the Chief Magistrate of the Union. The view which ought to decide in favor of the principle of your amendment is seldom taken. The true view is this : Elective Chief Magistrates are not and cannot, in the nature of things, be the best men in the nation; while such elections never fail to produce mischiefs to the nation. The evils of such elections have generally induced civilized nations to submit to hereditary monarchy. Now, the evil which is incident to this form of Government is, that of h?aving the eldest son of the monarch for ruler, whether lie is a fool, a rascal, or a madman. I think no man, who w ill reflect coolly upon the subject, but would prefer a President chosen by lot out of the Senate, to running the risk of having a fool, a rascal, or a madman in the eldest son of the wisest and most benevolent sovereign that ever lived.? When the amendment is considered in this point of view, I think it will find favor, especially when it must be admitted that the selection of a President in this manner will bo productive of as little turmoil and agitation as the accession of the son to the father in hereditary monarchies. The more I reflect upon the subject, the more I am in favor of your amendment. The country is at this time much agitated on constitutional doubts, which exist as to the acts of Congress. Would not a Convention at this time remove much of the discontent that now prevails? The resolutions for calling a convention should express the object to be, to explain doubtful questions which have arisen tinder the Constitution, and the Election of President. If you should think with i?c, will you use your influence with the Legislature of New England to obtain a call of a convention to revise the Federal Constitution ? I am persuaded that unless this measure is brought about, we shall have an explosion in the Republic, and that in our time, I have as little interesfinthe preservation of union and harmony as perhaps any man in the country, yet I cann< t feel indifferent to the symptoms of disunion which are daily manifested. I am, dear sir, your friend and most ?bo lient servant, WM. H. CRAWFORD. Richmond May 20, 1830MyP ear Sir: I have just returned from North Carolina, and had this morning the pleasure of receiving your lettei of the 10th, accompanying your proposit | tion for amending the Constitution of the i United States as to the mode of electing o, the President, and your speech made or . j that subject in the Senate in 1808. 1 b ; read your speech when first published [j'with great pleasure and attention, bui . was then a convert to either of the amend. imentsit suggested. In truth, there is I something so captivating in the idea ol 1 a Chief Executive Magistrate, who it s the choice of the whole People, that it i.< t extremely difficult to withdraw the judg r ment from its influence. The advanta f ges which ought to result from it are t manifest; they strike the mind at once j ; and we are unwilling to believe that the} ? J can he defeated, or that the operation ol r choosing can be attended with evil.4 . which more than counterbalance the acr tual good resulting from the choice. Il i ! is humiliatiug, too, to admit that we musl f look, in any degree, to chance for thai 1 decision, which ought to be made by the , judgment. These strong and apparently 1 rational convictions can oe taken only 1 hy long observation and painful experience. Mine arc, I confess, very much 51 shaken ; and my views of the subject , \ have changed a good deal siece 1S08. 1 r | consider it, however, rather as an affair , of curious speculation than of probable > | fact. Your plan comes in conflict with ? ; so marry opposing interests and deep rooted prejudices that I should despair of i _.:ii , ! its success were us uumv suit mure nii1 . * ? | parent than it is. All those who are candidates for the ' | Presidency, either immediately or rei uiotely, and thav are the most powerful j ! members of the community, will be oppo, I sed to it; the body of the Pecple will also, most probably, be in opposition ; for it M ill be difficult to persuade them that ; any mode of choice can be preferable to election, mediate or immediate, by them| selves, Tiie ardent politicians of the j country, not yet moderated by experiI encc, wdl consider it as an imputation on I the great republican principle, that the People are capable of governing themselves, if any other mode of appointing a Chief Magistrate he submitted for that I ^ which depends on their agency. I believe, therefore, that we must proceed with our present system, till its evils become still more obvious; perhaps, indeed, till the experiment shall become impracticable, before we shall be willing to change ! it. My own private mind has been slowly ! and reluctantly advancing to the belief j that the present mode of electing the Chief Magistrate threatens the most se' rious danger to the public happiness.? The passions of men are inflamed to so fearful an extent, large masses are so j inibittcrcd against each other* that I I i 1 .i._ Ult'ilU lilt' UUll9L'lJUt;ilu;? IIIU vicyuuu ' agitates every section of the United | States, and the ferment is never to sub' side. Scarcely is a President elected be| fore the machinations respecting a suecesser commence. Every political question is r.tllcted by it; all those who a:e in 1 office, all those who want office, are put in | motion. The angriest, and I may say I the worst passions are roused, and put into 1 full activity. Vast masses, united close; Iv,move in opposite directions, animated ; with the most hostile feelings towards 'each other. What is to he the effect of ' all this? j Age is perhaps unreasonably timid.? ; Certain it is that I now dread conscj qucnccs which I once thought imaginary. I feel disposed to take refuge under some less turbulent and less dangerous mode of choosing the Chief Magistrate; and my ' mind suggests none less objectionable j than that ycu have proposed. We shall ' no longer be under the banners of particular men. Strife will no longer be excited, when it can no longer effect its obi ' f ject; neither the people at large, nor 'he councils ofthc nation, will be agitated by the all-disturbing question, who shall be President? Yet he will in truth he chosen substantially by the people. The Senators must always he among the most able 'men of the State. Though not almoin j " ? II i ' led for the particular purpose, they must ! always be appoiuted for important pur! poses, and must possess a large share of : the public confidence. If the people of the United States were to elect as many | persons as compose one Senatorial class and the President was to be chosen among i them by lot, in the manner you propose, I he would be substantially elected bv the ' people; and yet such a mode of election j would he rccoi* mended by no advan! tages which your plan does not posses; in j many respects it would be less eligible. I Reasoning a priori, I should undouht! edly pronounce the system adopted by the i, j convention the best that could l>e devised. Judging from experience, I am driven to i a different conclusion. I have, at your [ ! request, submitted my reflections to your j private view; and will only add that I am, with great and respectful esteem, your , I obedient servant, J. MARSHALL. yCW GOODS NEW GOODS I H AVE just Received in addition to my f.ili j stock r. splendid assortment of seasonable Dry Goods wnich will be sold at the Lowest Prices i for cash only. i MALCOM BUCHANAN. 1 January 4th 1841. 8 tf REV.

THE CUXTITATOB % L Consolidation of Bueis Cultivator and Gencse* Farmer. VV. Gaylord & L. Tucker, Editor. 'ROSPECTUS OF VOLUME VIII. FOR 1841. In off ring to the agricultural public of the Jniied States the prospectus of the Eighth olumeofihe Cultivator, (the second of the w Scries,) we desire the privilege of taking ur pati on8 and correspondents familiarly nd cordially by the hand, and thanking them nost heartily for the very liberal aid and support they have rendered us, both by their ommunirations and their subscriptions. The Cultivator was established to improve ;nd elevate the Agriculture of the country; to live a proper one to the morals and mind of he farmer; to show him the dignity and importance of his profession ; to store his mind vith useful knowledge, and convince him .hat while all claeses are and must be mora >r less dependent on each other, he alone of he whole can make any near approach to inlependence. If there is one thing more than mother, which in th s country gives a man superiority over his fellow ihen, it is knowl?dge; and this knowledge,?knowledge which 8 as essential to the success of the faimer at >f other men, it is the design ol the Cultivator o aid in imparting. ' .. In taking charge of the Cultivator, fne Ediors were aware of the arduous nature ol the indertaking Under its former conductor, this ournal had already attained a very higlrcharicter, and we might have shrunk from the ask of sustaining the reputation it had gained, >r from the effoits necessary to still farther el vate its standing, had not the assurance of tid from the ablest writers and the most ex lertenced farmers of the country,?aid which lur columns will show has been and will be nost promptly and fully rendered; encouraged is to the undertaking. How far we have ucceedod must be left for the readers of the ^ult.vator to determine; but if an increase of ubscripfion bryond any precedent in the bisory ot agricultural journals of this country ; m f the almost unanimous voice of the public W irtssinour favor ; if the multitude of private -el flattering testimonials we have received, idded Jo a circulation probably treble that of mv other journal devoted to the agricultura nt' rest, may be admitted as evidence, then ,ve have certainly most abundant reason to ;e gratified with our success. In our iflbrts to render the Cultivator worhy of i be patronage it has received, no ex>ense or labor has been or will be speared. it is every where received as the exponent if the condition and prospects of Agricuture n the United States, we intend that every uhj'iCt connected wiih the great interest in my part of our country 6hall receive its due 'hare ofnotice, and it* proper place in our cn. uuiiip. The Cul'irator will be a record of all mprovcincnts in the science ol Husbandry; if the introduction of new and important vtw. icties of seeds and plants; of the r< spectre calurs and adoption of the several improved ireeds of Horses. Cattle, Sheep and Swine, 0 different sections of the United States ; in ilx?rt it is intended to make it a work which ?hall interest, instruct and be acceptable to ill. In the number, variety, and excellence of he illustrations, the Cultivator is withont a r?-al, either a: home or abroad. This depart, nent w ill be fully sustained, and increased in1 rest and attraction given by a greater numier offigurrsof American Animals selected rom our best specimens of all kinds, native nid imported, by the drawing of new Imphnents, Agrmilrural and Mechanical; and by mgravir-gs of such objects as will be better tnderstnod, when given witheucfiillnstration?, n.c engravings and illnstratinns of the preiei?t volume w ill be nearly equal to one hunIrtrlin number: and the satisfaction they lave given our patrons will secure their coninuancc notwithstanding the great expense hey necessarily occasion us.
