For, if we may judge from the result of the Presidential election, very few of the states in which it is desirable to locate branches will object Still the precedent of submitting the question to them we fear may prove pregnant with unforeseen evil. Our federative systeis is most wisely constituted. While it gives to distinct governments concurrent jurisdiction over the same territory, the Mime people, and in many instances, over I the saine subjects, it at the samo time as. | Sign* to these governments distinct spheres, in which though rhey may operate with all desirable efficiency, their movements must still he independent and | harmonious. But let either government j - infringe upon the sphere of the other, or tf'von surrender its indeoendencc of action ' at any point in its own sphere ro the will i of the other, and an essential principle of the system is thereby given up?a revo. lution is commenced which may ultimately end no one can tell where. Like a planetary system in which the orbits cross each other there is a continual liability to the most fatal shock. The McLeod Cask. According to the New York papers the j counsel of McLeod, at his request, have I declined carrying the case to the court, for the correction of errors in that state. ' He is confident that he can prove to the j satisfaction of a jury that he had no j agency in the acts with which he is j charged; and he wishes his case to be submitted to a jury at once, that he may be released from confinement with as little i /delay as possible. The trial has been re- i moved from Niagara county, where it is ! #Heged that the offence charged, was com. mitted, to Ontario, where it is supposed a leas prejudiced jury can be obtained.? The prejudice against him, however, is rery strong in all parts of the State, and by all classes of men. Some even of the members of Congress from that State, and in both houses, have used language in regard to his case which is far from honorable to cither themselves or the * country. A negro man at Bedford, Massachusetts, lately paid his fare from that place - to Boston, at the railroad office, and then took bi? seat among the whits passengers. The agent informed him that there was a car provided for persons of colo/ to which : * must go. Ho refused to do 20; where-1 Ti*# . 4, ' ' '' *' * N ' ~ upon he was carried by force. For this \ act lie had those engaged in it indicted, < under charge of assault and battery.? { The decision, however, was that inasmuch as no more violence was used to- , wards him than was necessary to remove j him, no assault and battery had been com- I mitted. The right of tho railroad compnny to make and enforce a law to sepa- * rate negroes from white passengers was ( recognised.

Tho. ^ mas Morris, formerly a U. S. Senator 0 from Ohio, in a letter recently addressed jy to the Governor of that State, through an ? abolition paper, undertakes to prove that tj the clause of the constitution which re- j quires one state to deliver fugitive slaves j from another state when claimed, is void j, as between Ohio and Kentucky; or at Cl least that it does not bind Ohio to deliver c fugitive slaves coming from Kentucky, h His reasoning is as follows: The ordi- |( nance of Congress ib 1787 establishing * g government for the North West Territory, of which Ohio formed a part, con- ^ tained no provision in regard to slavery. ^ except that persons escaping into the e< territory from whom labor or service was ^ due in any of the original states might be pf lawfully reclaimed ; as Kentucky was not one of the "original" states, it was not y included in this provision of the ordinance, w and must therefore be considered as excluded; aud that notwithstanding it was at the time a part of Virginia, which was n one of the original states. This is the g first step in the ex.Senator's logical pro. tj cess. The second is that the Convention n which framed the constitution had no pow er to alter the provisions of the ordi- 0 nance of 1787, and that therefore the ordinance is paramount to the constitu. tion, and must prevai 1 where the two come in conflict. Mr. Morris is not the only politician in the country who seems to r< look to the Federal Convention as the I source whence is derived the authority of 11 the constitution over the states and the ,T 6 country; nor is he the only politician who seems to consider the condition of p the states under the constitution the same u that it was anterior to the adoption ot tnat; t< instrument. Absurd as is his reasoning it ft is not more so than that on which is some* e times based extensive party distinctions in ^ this country. ? Anothkk instance.?The following si letter from the Hon. J. C. Alford, of tl Georgia, on the subject of a U. S. Bunk G has been published in the Co.umbus (Ga.) 0 Enquirer. L * Washington, July 5, 1841. & Gentlemen:?I nee Uie Columbus Argus has o misapprehended the meaning of my remarks about the bank. I was speaking of what the Northern men were willing to do, viz.* let us a ha?o r* little respite on abolition if we would go b on and vole for a bank, a Tariff, &c., not what j| I would do, but what they were desirous tor us , to do. I shall vote for a fair hank charter but " not for a foul one. I am anxious there should a bo a good bank, and if it is not loaled with pro- e visions against State Rights, I shall vote for it . with pleasure; for I teel and believe that the rot- ,! ten condition of the St tie banks, tho derangement W of the currency and the necessit es of the people a all together produee an overruling necessity, that ought to quiet tho doubts of every patriot, e and cause every State-Rights man to acknow- a lodge as a truth, that the question has been so J often adjudicated and acted upon, and benefi- . cially, too, that it should now* be treated as settled. The only question should be so to frame h the charter as to avoid infringing upon the sov f ereignty of the States. In a word, I am in favcr of Mr. Tylor's plan. Vcty respectfully, your obedient servant 11 JULIUS C. ALFORD. t By **Mr. Tyler's plan" Mr, A. here ] means the plan which makes the branch- ] ing feature (admitted to be essential to a r a fiscal hank,) dependent upon the con- c sent of the individual states. He is of ] opinion that the experience of the coun- a try has proved the "overruling necessity" | of a bank to carry into effect powers ex- ? < I' |-Jr ... prcsslv granted in the Constitution?=or in >ther words, that the tonstitution gives ;ongres? the power to establish a bank nrith branches. And Mr. Afford, after this admission, will vote only for a Imnk lill which leavaa it discretionary with the individual states whether rir not it shiill ye carried into effect if passed. If the nates have, unanimously, each voting separately, as they did in adopting the jonstitution, given to Congress the pow. j jr to establish a bank, where is the clause )f that instrument in which any state hns eservod to itself the right to rBio the le. jitimate exercise of thia power either in vhole or in part? It is an anomaly n government to mnke the exercise >f its admitted powers dependent 1 ipon the consent of any other body.? 5u#?h nnnmnlli* ia oiita nnt tn K/? found id he Federal Constitution, Aman who cannot find in that instrument the power, lainly implied, to set in operation a tank, is hound to oppose it whether at* empted with or without the consent of he states. How can the rae-e acquitsence of individual states legalize or jus. ify the usurpation of power by Congress? knd if it is necessary or proper to ask of j he states the privilege of exercising one granted power, why is'it not equally so ? ask the privilege of exercising any or 11 other powers? Where and why should . distinction be made ? A Mr. Bkext, who was once a mem.! er of Congress from Louisiana, is now ettled in Washington, and if we mistake iot, was lately engaged in raising water* nelons for the Washington market, is ubliciy-whimpering in Washington be. ause Mr. Clay has not resented " in* ulting language" which he says he ad* ressed to him. Mr. Brent was an active Vhig partizan before the late Presiclen* ial election, and Gen. Harrison promised im the office of District Attorney, in the )istrict of Columbia. Bui; the appoint* lent was not made before the (lenerai's eath, and has since been confered on an* - - -I n . _r tlier person, tnrougn we innuence 01 Ir. Clay, as Mr. Brent alleges. Mr. (rent considered Mr. Clay under obliga* ons to himself; and under the smart of isappointment and mortification, he adressed what he considered a very insultlg letter to Mr. Clay, and he now sadly omplains, through the Globe that Mr. (lay did not get into a passion, think ira " worthy of his hostility" and chalmge him. He would then have the ratification of a chance to shoot the disnguished Senater. Mr. Brent is not le first man in the world who overrated is own importance, and then childishly sposed his mistake. As ho could get no etter revenge he published a brief extract oma private confidential letter of Gen. larrison, making some complaint against Ir. Clay for 44 ungenerous ;reatment" to-ards himself.

N THE BKI>S OF LIMESTONE AND CALCAK10U3 EARTH IN THE PEE DKE COUNTRY. > To the EJitor. Society Hill, July 27 1841. Dear Sir : Yours of the 15th was duly ;ceived. In proceeding to answer you, must premise that I cannot give any iformation worth publishing in the Farters' Gazette. It is known to many that xtensive banks of sheila are found on the iuth west side of the Pee Doe from Ports erry to Burch's Ferry. These banks 'herever the river washes the Bluff are Mind from 10 to 12 feet below tne sur ice and from 6 to 10 feet thick, and xtend back in pi <ces several hundred nrd8. At Burch's Ferry the bank aproaches the pure limestone of a grey olor; at Wilherspoon's old place the limetone or sheill bank is harder and purer lan it is at the Bluffs above; at Savagen, iile's, Ervin'fl.G. Witherspoor.'s and Allicon's Id places the shall bank is a light yellow, t seems composed of decayed shells, sand nd earthy matter. The most common f the shells not, decomposed arc fla.t ieces from 3 to 4 or 5 inches long and s broad, and 1-4 of an inch thick. Not eing a choncologist I cannot give you tie name of this shell. It is evidently ut the remnant of some large shell fish, nd as I have understood considered as xtinct. The next most prevailing shell i the fluted clam of various sizes periankles, &c. &c. I do not know that ny of the banks above mentioned have ver been analyzed. A bank of the same <1 > ?_ -f iL ppearance as ine yellow DanK or ine *ee Dee ha? been found on the planta. ion of the late John Gibson near Darington Court House, and I understood rom him that he had sent a lump of the hell Bank to Dr. Cooper to analyze, and ipon analysis he found it to contain I bink about 70 per cent of pure lime.? ^arge beds of Limestone are found at ^egget's and at Myers'.} on or near the oad to Georgetown. Samples of this stone >r rock were pronounced by the late Col. Banding to be the Burretone. I under, land Dr. Harllee of Marion District has eased or purchased Myers's bed of stone ind has commenced burning Lime apd 1 *' ,> ? *' ; offers it fof sale at 91 per'barrel. Large lieds of this Limestone fare found also on Willow Creek in Marion District, 5 or fl miles from Myers's. From this quarry old Capt. William Wilson in old Indigo times, burnt lime for Indigo making, tanning, and Brick work, &c. He had a kiln to burn the rock in, hut how com structedl cannot say. Mr. II. Gordon who now ok ns a part of thi9 quarry or bed of limestone, told me he had tried the old country plan of burning oyster shells and found it would not burn the rock sufficient to decompose it. In the Carolina process of making Indigo lime-water was considered neces. wiry to settle the coloring matter. My father at times I know used the yellow limestone rock, and burned it into lime. My father's process was to have wood cut 4 feet long anfl when partly dried, to place two peices of this wood at 4 feet apart, and a piece injthe middle, then he placed a piece across each end and side,* making an open pen of 4 or 5 inches deep, thin was then filled with the rock broken into fragments from 4 to 6 inches diameter, another layer of wood as above, then rock again, till he got the pile 5 or 6'fect high; fire was then placed under* neath the pile and when the wood was consumed the rock was found sufficiently burned to decompose. In the, improved process of Indigo making in the East Indies and South America, I understand they do not use lime. I hope the East Indians may not supplant us as effectually in raising cotton as they did in Indigo. Some 20 years ago when I had more youth and energy, than I now have, I had a boat built with a view to bring up lime from the bnnk9 below. It so happened that my crop the yeair I got my boat ready was a light one. The first down load was taken, and on the boats return I ordered my people to[bring up a load of Limestone. Before they returned as high as the Limestone hanks the river was up and my people found it difficult to get at the rock, and got only the surface or upper part of the rock, which was inferior to that which is found deeper. This load I had hauled to my plantation burned in my father's plan as above described, and found the rock sufficiently burned to decompose.? "? * * __j?j ?r^i.i i ... 1 ne Lime i oruereu [tiiimcu m mc drill where I intended to plant cotton, and drilled thick enough to see it some distance, but how much to the acre I cannot say. I thought I could perceive the good effects for the first and second years; but the spot where the rock was burned was very visible for many years. Whether this effect was produced by the increased quantity of the fragments of the rock and Lime and the ashes from the wood used in burning the rock, or from the combined causes I cannot say. Before the next season my boat met with some accident and thus ended my visions of enriching my plantation from Lime. It is not necessary for me to say to the editor of the Farmers' Oazotte, that Lime from the earliest agricultural records has been found a fertilizer or promoter of vegetation. The modus operandi of Lime Gypsum and ashes is still I believe a deba tea ble question, I have used all these in the same way and! quantity by rubbing my cotton seed and seed corn before planting, with about equal success. In dry years the effect with me was visible in the color and increased or hastened ^ r i j growth ot the plant, in wet years i couw not perceive the effects. The result of my limited reading and experience is that Lime. Gypsum, iisbes and salt act as< solvents of the atmosphere. I prefer wood ashes to eii:her Lime, Gypsum or Salt. Whether a more general, safer, and cheaper use of 9team will ever ena. hie boat owners to bring up Lime and deliver it cheap enough for the Pee Dee farmers to use extensively, is a question for another generation or generations to decide. All I can say is that inexhausta. ble beds of Limestone exist on the hanks of the Pee Dee, Black River, Santee and Savannah. A PEE DEE PLANTER " l~ri ! I?I For the Farmers' Gazette.
