The Hog Law, we think, works badlv
and ought to be be repealed. If it operated
only on hogs belonging to the town
it would bo less objectionable than it is.
But it frequently happens that hogs of
neighboring planters stroll into town and
are taken up and sold before the owners
know any thing of it; which is little better
than absolute robbery. According to the
law and usage of-<he state hogs are suffer,
ed to run at large in the woods, and why
should persons residing or having their
plantations near villages be dcbnrrd the
privilege of this law any more than oth.
? rr.??. If of the town think proper to
restrain ourselves from letting our hogs
i
run in the streets, we ought not to infringe
* upon the rights of our neighbors, because

For the Farmer*' Gazette.
In the anniversary address read before
the Pee Dee Agricultural Socioty, February
22nd 1842, is contained many truths
and much useful information ; hut the j
author has fallen into an error on the
subject of turning in green crops. As it
would gratify him as inuch as any other
to arrive at the truth of the matter, I will
state something of my views and experience
on the subject.
In the prairies of Alabama it i9 highly
probable that from.turning in a crop of
small grain in the summer, and in the
fall, turning in the weeds or grass that
might grow, the succeeding crop of cotton
would he increased 50 or 100 per cent,
hut it is also known that some land
would be almost as much benefitted by
letting it lie uncultivated one year. For
although the land be in turf in the spring,
working it during the summer would
bring it into a fit state for the growth of
cotton; but not so with the wheat crop.
It requires the land to be in fine order at
the time of sowing. It is probable that
in this country some of the stiff river
lands when worn until becoming very
close might be helped by turning in
green crops ; for by no other common
process can land be pulverized with the
same case ; and this is the error; the effeet
of the fine order of the land is mistaken
for the effect of the turning in the
green crop. Now for my experience : last
vear I sowed a field of pine land in oats.
J ~ %
half of which had been in corn the preceding
year; the other half had not hecn ,
planted for two years ; the consequence |
was in the half where the corn had been,
the oats were as good as is usual
for such land; the other half did not
bring more than the seed sown ; the heads
were almost too much scattered for the
horses to feed on. The same field is
sown this year in oats and all parts being
in like order the product is expected to
l?e alike. I have often witnessed the inferior
crops of small grain from land in
had order; no common preparation will
make good wheat on land which has been
uncultivated the preceding summer and
not ploughed until the time of sowing.
A PLANTER.
[We thank "A Planter," for his comtnunication.
If planters would generally
publish their experience in the improvement
of thrir soils and their crops,
[ the agricultural public would he greatly
benefitted. One fact is worth a cUzen
theories. But from even facts we are
liable to draw erroneous inferences. "A
Planter," alludes, we suppose, to the experiment
of turning in a coat of green
peas as a preparation for wheat, quoted
in the Anaresano which he refer*, in
that experiment the land was prepared
by lirst plowing in the seed peas in the
| spring, and then/ in the fa!!, turning in
I 11* ^ . . v i . |
I ' '? ft" ''** ' *. " ' '.J
a
ML .11 I m ?B?r?
the growth of pens with the seed wheat.
The yield was fifteen times as much as
that of adjoining land of the same quality
which received no preparation, and stood I
fallow the preceding summer. - Now our
correspondent on comparing this expert*
ment, as stated in the Address, with his
own experiment of sowing oats in land
cultivated the preceding year, and in
adjoining land not cultivated, was justi- j
ned in ascribing the increased product
of wheat mainly to the spring plowing. I
But the experiment was not fairly stated
in the Address. That part of the Address
was written in the midst of other engagements
on the morning on which it was
delivered, when there was not ume ?u
commit to paper a further detail of the
experiment than was necessary to exemplify
the leading truth which it was intended
to enforce. The part of the
exj>erimont omitted would have prevented
a very material error into which our
correspondent fell in regard to it. In one
part of the field pens were sown, in another
cotton seed, and a third remained unplowcd.
The wheat was sown in all at
the same time. That where the growth
of peas was turned in yielded Jifteen
bushels to the acre; that where the
growth of cotton was turned in, tcren
bushels, and the remaining part one
bushel. The land where the coiton was
turned in was plowed at the same time
with that where the growth of pens was
turned in. Yet the latter yielded more
than double as much as the former. This
difference ca.i he ascribed only to the
grenter degree of improvement from the
ft ... 1. . L. c ....
pea crop. now mnci! me crop ui ? ?-m
in both portions of the field was increased
,';y the spring plowing is not certain. It
might have been seen had r part of the
field been plowed without seeding at the
time when tho seed for the green crops
was plowed in. Tho omission to do so
was the only defect in the experiment?a
defect which o? cured to the intelligent
author of the experiment himself when
it was too late to remedy it.
The pea crop on land adapted to its
growth, proves a better fetilizer than a
cotton crop, because : 1. There is more
of it, the growth being more luxuriant;
2. It shades the land better; and 3, it
probably draws a greater proportion of its
nutriment from the atmosphere. Whether
there is any thing in the constituent cle.
mentsofthe pea crop which renders it a
better fertilizer, independent of these
considerations; and whether or not it is a
green crop manure peculiarly favornble to 1
wheat, can lie determined only byexperi- I
ment.?En.]

looking it over, I see that it contains some !
novel provisions.
In the first place it imposes a doty of thirty
per cent, on all dutiable artilces. Then it
excepts iron, woollen, some c ?tton, glass, sugar,
salt, coal, cordage paper, spirits and
wines, silks, shoes and leather, &c., and ?m- |
poses specific duties on them, amounting to
more than thirty per cent, ad valorem. Then
it enacts that, after the 3(>th June, 1843, an
additional duty of ten per cent, ad valorem,
be paid on woollens, colored, linens, lae.cs,
silk and wors:ed goods, leather manufac'ures,
spirits, hemp and cordage, wines of Prance,

hat country. The Secretary of the Treasury
is authorized to change any ad valorem to a !
specific duty, after giving due notice. The

cent, on ail sales by auction, of any dutiable '
goods, if sold withm six months after unpor- !

detriment to those who wish to buy their goods
where they can get them lowest. It is aimed
at British agenis and intended to afford protection
to American,impn-ters and additional
protection to Atperican manufactures. CXi

expressed the opinion that our foreign rela ions

If all could be settled it would be well, but he
repeated that he went for oil or none.
Mr. Rives said, in reference to the same

The Senate debate of this day will bo
found worthy of Attention, on account of
the statistical facts, political view-*, and
moral sentiments advanced in it. Mr.
Woodbury and Mr. Preston and Mr.
Young, were the chief debaters. Many
; new and startling views were brought for.
ward by these gentlemen in reference
to the prospects of the country. Mr.
t Woodbury, contended.and, hy facts incontiovcrtiule,
shewed that the revenue
-.fontemplated to bo raised to carry on the
government, cannot be ptocured from the
tariff. He shewed that in .10 two yearsexcept
at the close of the yeir before the
repeal of high duties, and in the one or
two years, while the imports were swollen
by the amount of state stocks exported,
did the revenue from imports ever amount
to 26 millions a year. The increase of
duty; would also, of necessity,'diminish
I the revenue totho extent of the protection
afforded by the revenue, and this was the
purpose of the proposed discrimination in
favor of domestic manufactures. Cash
duties and the bankrupt law would alsodi;
rninish imports. Mr. W. therefore inI
sisted that the government could not go
on, without recalling the land fund, and
adopting necessary retrenchments. Mr.
| Ws. plan was to bring the ordinary ?Xj
p*i.. as of the gove-nment down to 20
millions; to allow one million for contingencies
and appropriate two for the debt.
This sum of twenty three millions he
would thus rai???16 from the present
Tariff; 3 from the lan&; and 4 from tea,
pfiffwo nther srtirles now flee.
If thisl
plan was not adopted, we must soon resort
to practical repudiation or to excises, and
whiskey taxes, and meet whiskey insurrections.
Mr. W. romarked, as one objection to
the proposition to sell the stock, under the {
loan bill, to the highest bidder, that the
buyer should lake ttarniug of the princi
pies which had been avowed and carried
out in some of the States. They must
beware how they tempt those who follow
us to excuse themselves from paying the
debt by declaring that they have not re
ceivcd a full equivalent for it?that it
f-waa extorted from them by fraud, by no.
cessity,or by Shylorkism;?this pipe had
been held sufficient, in these times of repudiation,
for refusing to pay a debf.
Mr, W.'s warning ought to be heededIt
is an awful, an overwheling truth?
that the government deserves no confidence.
Mr. Preston's speech was one of the
most powerful he has ever made. He
devoted much of it to shew that the wretched
situation of the government and the
country had been brought about by the
extravagance?.the corruption?the inbecility
of the late administration. Other
portents of it related to the present situation
of the country, and its future pros|
peritv?-the remedies for the present embarrassments,
61 c. One truth he brought
forward?which seemed startling as coming
from a man of his moderation?though
it was thundered at us, the other day, byMr.
Mangum, it produced less impression
?that the moral sentiment, on which
this poverment wns founded, had been
o stunned
Uy recent shocks; that no man
could now entertain the same love for
his country that he did prior to the loss
of credit by the general nnd state govern,
ments?and that, though we might never
cease to love her, with all her faults yet,
it would he, aa we loved a friend who had
been tainted in honor.
Mr. Prciton advocated the passage of
the bill, without the amendment restoring
the lands; though he was ready, in a separatebill,
to vote for recalling the land
fund.
The question being taken, the amend- j
ment pledging the lands for the debt was

The farewell dinner to Mr. Clay', was
given last night, at Brown s Hotel. Ii
was attended by about 150 gentlemen?
embracing many members of both Houses
of Congress, strangers and citizens, ivinsi
of those present were Mr. Clay's warm
personal and political friends. The sen.
timents and speeches were of much inter,
est, and manifested a strong devotion to
Mr. Clay. At the same time, it has been
remarked, perhaps with justice, that the
tone of the meeting was influenced more
bv the recollections of disappointment,
than by the prospect of success. It was
a meeting of friends who had long co-op.
erated, with their distinguisned leader, in
a great political object, and for the purpose
of bidding him farewell. If they assemble
again, it will be in victory. They
might well leave said to Mr Cla/?

Mr. S. S. Prentiss^ of Mississippi, made

made some remarks which were well re.
eeived. Mr. Clay and Mr. Preston also
*poke; with great etlat. Mr Tyler and
- ,. .~=. .
the heads of department were invited, hut
but did not come. It is remarked that s
Mr^Tyfer could not attend, after Mr t
Clay's Alexandria letter, which speaks of
Mr Tyler's administration as weak, vacihting,
and faithless." Asjo the Sec.
retaries, they took to themselves, of
course, their share of the compliment.
Much has been said lately* in this city ^
in regard to the next Presidency* The |
campaign is fairly opened. At n recent
congressional wh?g caucus, it wasdetef- c
mined to press tho claims of Mr Clay, *
and to adhere to him, through all cir. ^
cumstances and all changes. This is the
tone of a portion of the whig pnrty now
and more especially of those who were
the fir*t to betray and abandon Mr ('lav,
at the Ilarrisburg convention; and who
wish to use him now, for the ultimate pur.
pose of bringing out General Scott.
Among those from whom he may again
expect the same treachery a*e, perhaps,

of this State that her protection is to depend
upon the stoic and tardy movements of the

and mercy, we are to suffer, without a murmur !
or complaint, all the indignities and insults
that may be offered to the citizens of this '

The Executive of the (fhi?) State, how.

incident to a sovereign State, to protect themselves,

more enlightened conscience, convince him, .
however, that any interterenre wi?h the war
in Texas by citizens of one the United States j

incon-istent with our own interests, and the
