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.
",l*" "Jb *",v/ vw,?"v? ? " '
dent tor a term of two years, and the
drawing to bo superintended by a committee
of the House of Representatives.'
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.

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.
The sales of the Cultivator have been so
rreat during the past year, and the demand
or the back volumes as well as the current
?ne so constant, that we have ster* otyp. d
tar h number; and shall be able, now and hereiftcr.
to furnish subscribers w ith whole seis.
>r any s;ngle volumes they inay desire.
'i'o our personal friends, to the friends of
'Ngiirulfttre, to those Gen'lemen who have
icn d as our Agents, to P<?' masters generally
throughout our country,?in short tc ail those
vho have sogenorousiy interested themselves
n onr be half, ?i? bringing a knowledge of our
vork to the notice of their fr ends, and in obainingsubscribers;
our most heartfelt aud
ordiallhanl-s are due. While we have rii'eavorod
to make our terms such as to offer an

thorns* Ivrs in our favor, we shall still he
ndehtod to all w ho will in any way aid us in
mr efforts to make the Cultivator more gene aily
OM?fu', either by increasing its circulation

Our gratitude is especially due to those gens
lemeu whose numerous, abe and varied coinnunications
have given such an interest and
falue to our paper ; and we are confident f.om
