Hartford* Ct., Dec* l'Stfi, lB3o. i Judge Buel?I take the liberty of enclosing to you a copy of a letter just received from Mr. Whitaker, tiie ceiebratod oreeuer j of Durham Cattle in England. It is in reply to an order I sent him for the lest one vcar old Durham short horned ; hull he could procure. The breeders of j this country- will be-gratified to learn the es-1 timation and increased value of the best Durham cattle tu England, where purity of. blood and excellency of pedigree are so highly appreciated. It will.be perceived with regret, tfiat Geo. j Coates, Esq., for many years a distinguish, j ed breeder of Short Horns, and the keeper of the Herd Book, died Oct. 20th. He had nearly arranged the pedigrees for the so- i cond supplement to the Herd Book, and his ; son has now undertaken to carry it through the press. iwint'omPii in rmintrv who are 1 IIUOV^ ^WIU^IIIVll Hi iii.w subscribers, will probably receive their copies early in the spring, and it will give additional value to their herds, if their pedigrees have been forwarded, in time for pub-! f cation. Very respectfully vours, JOHN A. TAlNTOU. J "Barley, near Otley, Yorkshire, Oct. 21. i "My dear Sir?I beg to acknowledge the 1 receipt ofyour letter of the 27th lilt. I have | little doubt of meeting with a superior year-, ling bull before next May. 1 have none of j a proper age at present, of my own, but 1; have two well.bred crows to calve, to a bull! for which I offered 200 guineas; one, ofj high pedigree, (and the only one of iny old j family,) to calve about the end of this month: the other is also of good blood and long pe-, iligree, to calve in January. I sent seven hulls and females to New York for the state of Ohio, last July, and should 1 get one tor you, I hope it will not have to compete with any of those bulls. I offered 200 guineas for the bull alluded to above, (bred by mc and sold at my sale in September, 1833, tor 124 guineas,) but could not prevail on the gentleman to sell* There have been two gentlemen from Kentucky, offering great j prices, without buying any thiug. Their inquiries were confined to a few small breed. | ere only. I hope to be able to purchase ; one of the best young bulls for 100 guineas, and perhaps less, as you allow sufficient j time to look round. When I made my sale, j it was with the intention of abandoning i breeding for the public altogether, but ma- ! mr friends would not allow me to follow my | owli inclination, but solicited me to make purchases for them, also urging me to keep a few good animals myself believing, I suppose, from my long experience, that mv judgment was better than their own; and I have so far complied with their wishes as to select many good ones for them and myself. But I shall not be induced again to let bulls to the public, which is attended with great expense ana great mortification, the finest animals in my fold having been let out and returned mere skeletons. You can, if you please, give me a draft on some house in Liverpool. The greatest risk will be in the transit of the bull from Liverpool to New York. I sent a man with those shipped in July, and he delivered them, he says, in as good order as when they were put on board. But this would be too ex. pensive for one animal; I would therefore suggest the prudence of your speaking to a captain in whom you cau depend, for care and proper attention.

"As soon as I have the pleasure of hearing from you again, I will conclude the pur^ chase of a bull and place him in my fold. AHow roe, if you please, to select one as much under and above one year old as you can, because I may find a superior bull, ei. ther under or above your limits, which I should hesitate to buy without your permission. It is usual, I understand, for the shipper to pay for a stand for the animal, provisions, <kc., for the passage, and which will k cost about ?14, and the freight to New York 25 or 830, and perhaps something more if a man has to serve him. This you will of course take into your consideration, when you hand a credit in Liverpool. "It is said one ol the gentlemen from Kentucky offered 300 guineas for an aged \ bull, but I hope to be able to send you a j young one of the first quality, for "about' 100 guineas. "I am, with great respect, dear sir, vours i truly. "J. WHITAKER. ! ^ 4,To J. A. Taintor, Hartford, Conn." [From the Maine Farmer.] IMPORTANT or good breeds OF CATTLE. M e wish once more to remind our rear dcrs upen the importance of keeping a good breed of caltky even if they keep but a few of them, rather than a great hewj of | < poor ones. ? I The severity of the last winter teaches us j ( a good lesson upon this subject. A few j i good first rate cattle would not have requir- j ed so much fodder and have been worth J much more, of themselves. A large and handsome cow may perhaps eat something more than a smaller one, but the labor of ii i taking care of her is no more?and the x worth of her in the market is oftentimes d twice as much as that of the small and d mean one. This is beginning to be felt and u practiced upon in the Western country b where forage is undoubtedly more abun- j is dant than it is here; and where they are in j ti the habit of keeping immense herds of cat- j li tic. They are now turning their attention \ a cto better breads, thinking no doubt, that it is I p better to have a smaller number of cattle of j C great value, than to keep more in number j v of less individual value. In Ohio during i o the past year, companies have been form- j A ed, and Agents sent to England to select j t! out and purchase the very best that could i p be found, and import them to this country. t? Cows and Bulls of the Improved breeds w sell there fir large prices?while here such s< is the apathy that a person who ever goes tl to an extra expense in and of himself to b procure the best, meets with much ridicule tl and but little encouragement. We are rt happy to say that a few spirited individuals o have obtained the first rate Bulls for the j si purpose of benefitting those who feci j ^ anxious to improve, and yet the same men I P will toll you that, setting aside the benefit j which has been done in their own herds, j rc they have been poorly requited by any pat- 01 ronage or encouragement from others.? i ^ And what is the reason ? Because most of i our farmers do not calculate right. They i d< value caltJe by their numbers rather than j by their good properties. j Their minds are cramped down to the j minimum value of ordinary stock, and it is J hard to raise it to a higher standard. They can't for the life of them, s^e why a cow or *f bull should be worth fifty or an hundred 1 dollars, and that one should ov#r sell for i three hundred, is the most absurd extrava- j gance that thoy ever heard of. These : limited ideas should be enlarged. We do <, O T a|. not wish to encourage extravagance. We :111 r.o not wish our farmers to rear Taney stock, j ul We de not wish that they should go be- ! yond their incomes or means and purchase 11,1 at enormous prices, cattle which have Sl nothing uncommon or excellent to recom- ' n< mend them. But we do wish, most earn- jw estly wish, that they would rouse up a little ' sc in this respect. Keep not so many, but ! . those that are better. . Condense the value a. of your herds into a smaller number of bo- * dies ; and then the relative profit will be , enhanced. It is plain enough to be seen I that the man who rears a yoke of oxen which will sell for from $100 to 1">0 at four J ^ |V or five years old, reaps more than he who | rears a yoke that he can get but fifty or j j sixty for, at the same age. If you ure not1 ^ able to improve stock solely yourself, get ^ others to associate with you. Club to-! gether by neighborhoods and help eacli other. And if any of your neighbors who j ^ perhaps, cannot well afford, should take a first rate animal for the season, relying j( upon your encouragement and support? ! tl give him your encouragement amtsupporr. j Don't "as the manner of some is,'* cry him w down, and "run"* l)im down, and throw every obstacle in the way. You thereby do much mischief and no good. Don't j g practice the play of the dog in the manger, j u] but put your shoulder to the work, pro- C( inote everjr laudable undertaking of the j w kind, cheerfully and promptly. We make ^ these remarks because we know of more | jj than one instance of the kind; and be- j p cause also we deem it a fit opportunity to c call uttention to this subject now, while the j (j memory of the scarcity of the hay mow is j p fresh in your minds, Let this precept be i jj adopted by every farmer?better have fifty n dollars worth in one cow, than in five, at i s ten each; and an hundred dollars worth of: > oxen in one yoke, than in two, at fifty ti each, and remember that this is just as ti easily done as it is to follow in tho old 0 system. j ti , IP For raising Cabbage.?Take from the a rahh.iffn. which you generally tl V,* o _ set out ear!}-, the most prominent after they j fi have sufficiently expanded themselves; and s set them out in the same manner you do : n your plants, and they will immediately take ;'] root and afford you a very early and lu.ru-, b riant cabbage. Those who have tried this c method affirm that they are much earlier ! 0 and by far superior to any that can be pro- tl duced from the plants. They must be bro- i n ken from the stumps and not cut off, as the 1small fibres will greatly facilitate their tak- | ing root. j-f To kill Cabbage Lice.?As these vermin : ri infest cabbages, and not unfrequently injure i i, their growth very much, the following re- rj ceipt is given in substance as we find it. jj Make a strong decoction of tobacco, and ; whefi cool &pply it to the plants by means of a i g syringe. This syringe should be about two i a feetlongandanincliindiamcter,havingacap j s oflead or tin perforated with very small holes ; to prevent the liquid from falling with too j v much force upon the plants, (hie applica- s tion a day for two or throe days will gene- d rally destroy oil the vermin. n To remove the taste of Garlic, or wild q Onions from milk.?When the milk is new 0 t from the cow, pour one quart of boiling wa- ti I ter into everv paltron of milk; stir it tho-1 a ! roughly, and put the whole into broad shal-1 p ; low dishes so that it will not be above two , I inches deep. Let these dishes be placed i't j an open shelf, that the vapour may pass : c 1 freely and entirely away. When the milk ' r i has stood in this nianner 12 hours, it may ; $ j be put into a churn, altogether, or only the . 2ream, as may be most agreeable to the t :aste or practice of the operator. Milk from f :ows that have pastured on garlic, when c managed in this way, will be quite sweet. n p Extracts Jram Mr. GarlanSpeech in reply to c Mr. Bell, Concluded. * d Mr. Chairman, it was a leading object P n the formation of our Government to di. a ride it into three separate and independent a epartments : legislative, executive, and ju- h icial?leaving each, as tar as practicable, o ncontrolled and untrammelled'in its action c y the interference 6f tiie other. This sir, si i a constitutional division and a constitu. onal object; the principle has been sane. oned by our most distinguished patriots ^ nd statesmen. The executive power is bi laced in the hands of the President bv the hi Constitution; and however unwise the in. ai estment, if it he so, he cannot he divested f it but by constitutional amendment, fr miong the most efficient powers vested by ifl ic Constitution in the President, is the a' ower of removal from office. The irnpor- tu tncc attached to this executive power is 'ell illustrated by the fact that, in the first ni jssion of Congress after the formation of ft ic Constitution, a provision attached to the P' ill organizing the State Department, au- 1? torizing the President to remove the Sec- th itary from office at pleasure, was stricken It ut, on the' ground that the power was uncon- pi titutional, and could not be conferred by w iw. The proposition to strike out that IV revision gave rise to a long and able debate, th i which the question whether the power of ^ i A n MDovai was nerivea irom mu uoiisiiiuuon ^ r not, was ab!v and elaborately discussed. tli * [r. Madison, who participated largely in P< tat debate, said, while discussing the Prcsi- di 3nt's power of removal : 01 "But there is another part of the Consti- ol ition which inclines, in my judgment, to le ?rm the construction I put upon it. The resident is required to take care that the 01 ws be faithfully executed. If the duty to tv 'c the laws faithfully executed be required at. tii ,e Juiuds of the Executive Magistrate, it se ould seem that it was generally intended he ta *s\*?7s1 Ik si**/* fit si S o s\ f n\f\?/?/>* 1 P I til iUUL'l /CUVt/ IftUt Oj'Ct?C/0 *7 JJXJUJf*! fC//4tw% i? ? ? fxcssary to accomplish thai end. Now, if ni ic officer appointed is not to depend upon w le President for his official existence, but 01 pon a distinct body, I confess I do not see w ow that the President can take care that to ie laws be faithfully executed." In the ui line speech he said, "if any thing in its v< Mure is executive, it must be that power st hich is employed in superintending and m xing that the laws are faithfully executed." ci Again, .Mr. Madison said: "I think it ol bsolutely necessary that the President m lould have the power of removal from of- m ce; it will make him in a peculiar manner ai mt.. p i i i . i In: ispoosiuiu ior u?eir ceiHiuer, and suojeci mm ui i impeachment himself, if he suffer them to lil irpetrate, with impunity, high crimes and bi lisdcmcanors against the United States, or ci jglect to superintend their conduct so as to in leek their excesses. On the constitution- a ity of the declaration, I have no manner of d< jbbt." tli Mr. Giles, in a debate in 1802, upon the tli idiciary bill, expressed the same opinion, di fe said : , ui "In relation to newspaper scribblers, Mr. th ?fferson once said, 'Let them stand undis- til irbcd as monuments of the safety with in hich error of opinion may be tolerated, here reason is left free to combat it.' " th Mr. Giles. "The President is authorized te ithout limitation, to commission all the of- it cers of the United States. The question v< rises, bv what tenure ? The reply is, acording to his pleasure or discretion. It u] as not difficult to foresee that,* if the Presi- a ent was fully empowered to commission as ai e pleased, he would commission during his r lcasurc. The Legislature has no more T ontrol over an officer who holds an Execu- pi ve commission, during tnc pleasure ot tne u< 'resident, than over a judicial officer, hold, ai ig his office during good behavior?the c< smedy given by the Constitution being the ame in both cases, to wit, impeachment, pi Cor is there any reason why the office of in ic one should be less subject to the discreon of the Legislature than the office of the th titer: and it seems to be universally agreed tx lat, although the Legislature cannot de- vi rive an Executive officer of his office in di ny other way than by impeachment during te ic continuance of such office, yet the of- pi ce is always subject to he abolished. Tiie ame reasoning will hold with equal force D inspecting a judge and a judicial officer, gi 'he reason why the Executive is proscri- re i ^ ? * t i il. ea irom me removal ox a juage, is, 10 se- ui ure to the judge the complete independence 01 f the President, who is not responsible for fo le discharge of judicial duties; but the re- th loval is perfectly correct in the case of an a Executive officer, because the President is hi ighly responsible for the due discbarge of in kxeutive duties. The Legislature is not la esponsible for either, and, of course, stands tii i the same constitutional relation to both, ai ?hcrc is the same remedy against both? In niDcaclimcDt.'" v< The late eminent Judge Tucker, of Vir- gi ;inia, expressed the same opinion. In the ai ppendix to his Commentary upon Black- in tone, he said : ''The Constitution has made ample proision for his aid in these respects, by as- " igning to him Ministers, to whom the con- c; net of each of the Executive Departments at ijay be committed, from whom he may re- ti< uire aTl necessary information, as also their n pinions, in writing, upon any subject rela- c< ing to the duties ol their respective offices; b; ,nd whom he may, moreover, remove at w ileasure:" g In further support of this claim of consti- p] utional power for the Executive, I here p< piote from Mr. Calhoun's speech upon the p: emoval of the deposited, in 1834. In that tl ipeecli ho said : j it I '.ytinot doubt that the resident has.! tr I / ^ mder the Constitution, the right of removal rom office; nor can I doubt that the power >f removal, wherever it exists, does, from lecessity, involve the power of general suervision; nor can I doubt that it might be onstitutionally exercised in reference to the eposites. Reverse the present case. Supose the late Secretary, instead of being gainst, had been in favor of the removal, nd that the President, instead of for, had een against it, deeming their removal not illy inexpedient, but, under the circumstanos, illegal, would any man doubt that, under Lich circumstances, he had a right to relovehis Secretary; if it were thejonly means f preventing tire removal of the deposites ? lay, would it not have been his indispensaIc duty to have removed him ? And had e not, would he not have been universally ad justly held responsible ? In further support of this claim, I quote om Mr. Clay's speech at Fowler's Garden, i which while he declaimed against the buse,Jby fair inference admitted the constiitional power of removal. lO Itt t?P itnl tlif> trf - I ??v A I l<i / I/UVVVW *1 *v?a - ? icndous power of dismision, to(be exercised ?r the public good, and not to gratify any rivate passions or purposes. It was conrred to prevent the Public from suffering 1 irough faithless or incompetent officers, was made summary, because if the slow rocess of trial before a judicial tribunal ere resorted to, the public might be greatinjured during the progress, and prior to ic decision of the case." These opinions are founded upon the prinplc that the President, being charged by ic Constitution with the whole executive jwer, is responsible to the country for the jc aad faithful execution of the laws?his : ith requires it at his hands. In support rthis opinion, I quote from Mr. Jefferson's tter to 3/onsieur Dc Tracy: "While the tranquil and steady tenor of jr single Executive during a course of ranty-two years of the most tempestuous 1 mes the history of the world has ever pre;nted, gives a rational hope that this impcr- 1 nt nroblem ?s nf lennrfh solved, aided bv O"" ? e counsels of a cabinet, heads of departicnt, originally four, but now five, with hom the President consults, either singly r altogether, he has the benefit of their isdom ond information, brings their views i one centre, and produces a unity of action id direction in all the branches of the (*o?mment. The excellence of this conruction of the executive power has already lanifesteu itself here under veiy opposite rcumstanccs. During the administration f our first President, his cabinet of four icmbers was equally divided by as marked ,1 opposition of principle as monarchists id republicanism could bring into conictT""-Had that cabinet been a directory, xc'positive and negative quantities in algern tKn nnnncinrr u*illc aviiiM hnvr> halnncprl v^rrv^...n ich other, and produced a state of absolute iaction,. But the President heard with almness the opinions and reasons of each, scided the course to be pursued, and kept ic Government steadily in it, unaffected by ie agitation. The Public knew well the ssensions of the cabinet, but never had an aeasy thought on their account, because ley knew also they had provided a resulting power, which would keep the machine i steady movement." I also refer to Mr. Madison's opinion in ie debate before referred to, and just quod. I also refer to Judge Tucker's Comtentary on Blackstone, appendix to 1st i . i : l:~l t Diume, pari i, in wuicu ucsuye: "The true point of responsibility rests pon the shortness of the period for which President of the United States is elected; nd the power which the People possess of sjecting him at a succeeding election." 'he same able author says, "responsibility jrsues him (the President) in every situa. i an, whether active or passive, sleeping or vake;" a sentiment, the truth of which is Dnfirmfed by that unerring test, experience. And to the opinion of Mr. Calhoun, exmessed in a letter to Gen. Hamilton, 1829, : which lie says : "No relation can be more confidential lan that between the President and mem?rs of the cabinet, as his constitutional adeers, charged as he is with the executive ities of the Government, which were vesd in a single person, to give energy and omptness in execution." The principle of duty in the Executive epartment. as maintained by all our distill*1 1 * ? ?/s f'? Jisneusuucauitu, Iicuc99aia^r uuavuva iv 11 sponsibility, and with that responsibility ie power of removal; for if would be most i itrageous to hold the President responsible ir the faithful execution of the laws, and at ie same time compel him to retain in office set of unworthy officers, who would thwart s views and resist his authority, prevent- g the prompt and faithful execution of the ws. I should have thought the construc511 of the Constitution, by its very authors, id the uniform practice ever since, would , ivc settled this principle so far as to pre?ntanv effort to change it by act of Confess. In this, however, I am mistaken; id this bill from the Senate has that object i view. * * * * * * Among the many charges made to affect the party,11 as the gentleman caHs it, is the lucus system, which he says has been lopted to control public sentiment, a pracco which lie denounces with hold and unlitigateo' severity. He makes reference to jngressional caucusses, and its repudiation y the Jackson party. I have hut a few ords to answer upon this subject. Conressional caticusses were for a long timo ractised during the protracted contest for ower between the old republican and federal artics. The practice was introduced for ?e purpose of concentrating public sqntricnt upon a single individual, to secure the iumph of the principles of the party which might be lost by division. All caucusses, i conventions, or meetings of the dominant z party have had the same object its view, i Since the congressional caucus has been put s down, conventions of delegates from the People have been adopted, to effect the same ii object. These are nil acts of the People, J which they, or portions of them, be they I many or few, have a right to do. The opposition have pursued the same course. They have had their State conventions, and tl their national conventions, and their legis- ii lative caucusscs. Even the Tennessee a Legislature has recently nominated a can- p didate for the Presidency. By what b Jinfhnrifv. sir? NVkt in tlir? rlicplmrtrp nf nnv r b legislative duty, certainly. No, sir, but of w their own free will and accord. Sir, did p not eleven highly honorable and intelligent ai gentlemen, members of Congress, all from it Tennessee, among them the honorable gen- tii tleman himself, hold a meeting, and recommend a candidate for the Presidency, and, fr I do not doubt, honestly and sincerely ? ai Why, then, is "the party" complained of di for doing that which thev have a right to do? in [Mr. Bell said that the eleven of the If Tennessee delegation, to which the gentle- sc man alluded, was a meeting of so mam' a individuals, who met not to nominate Judge ol White; they had no organization; they is had no chairman, no secretary ; they kejtf si no minutes, they adopted no resolution; ir they publislied nothing; it was not intended w that any thing should be published; they v, only met as so many individuals to ascer- v< it.. /? i _ 11 .1 lam uie views ot eacn otner; ana an tncy ui did was to devise the means and corne to n some virtual resolutions to make their sup- g port of Judge White as effective as pos- 11 sible.] a It is true, sir, they had neither president nor secretary, yet their object was the same., v They intended to nominate and recommend ^ a candidate for the Presidency, and did so, K and this is all the caucusses or conventions p do. I am not complaining of the act, for t! the gentlemen did what they had a right to o do. I only claim that the party with which tl I act shall not be denounced by gentlemen ti who have done the very same thing in ef- ir feet, if not in form. Tile paraphernalia of c president an ! secretary does not alter the o object in view. Now, sir, whether eleven gentlemen, however honorable and respectable, or six hundred, have the greater right to nominate a candidate, I leave to the w American People to decide. But it seems if the Baltimore Convention is the devoted ? victim of every possible denunciation. The I recommendation of the Baltimore Convcn- e tion stands upon the same footing with all ^ other like meetings, dependent for the force c of its recommendation upon the character 0 and principles of tho nominee. But, sir, n how long has a Baltimore Convention and r: its nominee been odious in the State of Ten- tl nesaee ? I find a meeting was held in the f city of Nashville in 1832, in which the fol- n lowing resolutions were adopted in favor of *P ? aanitunfian nt?I aP Mflrfin Vftn Ttllfftn ! 1 U Wll VVI1KUU) U11U Vt t*?ui 1114 ?

These resolutions embrace all tiie reasons ^ upon which the Baltimore Convention was Sl called. 1 Another meeting was held at the same P place in 1835, in which the following rc- r solutions against the Baltimore Convention a and Martin Van Buret), were passed. ? " Resolved, That, in the opinion of this meeting, a system, of controlling elections E to all high and important public trusts and c offices, by caucus nomination, would be a violation of tlie spirit of the Constitution; that it would inevitably lead to frequent 1 combinations between a few self-appointed t< leaders, of a party, to co-operate in all their t; movements, and to accommodate lheir S principles to the single object of obtaining 1c power, and of sharing among themselves fi and their partisans the offices and entire b patronage of the Government; and that d such a system, when once sanctioned by e the acquiescence of the People, and put into h full operation in a majority of the States of ? this Union, will be fatal to Liberty itself, t( lt Therefore, in opposing the system of b caucus nominations, and in opposing the \\ election of MARTIN VAN BUREN, who c is avowedly the candidate of that system, F and cf those who secK to make it permanent, 5 ' " * - ' ?. ^ v i i' ' i 11 i i gag. >m md universal in electieas, both State and _ j lational, we do not consider that we do, n any respect, fail in a fair, full, and due upport of the present Administration." At both these meetings I find the foliowtig gentlemen acting as officers: W. ?. Anderson, Joseph V aubt, Geo. S- Verger, {, A. Hall*and George C. Childys. Mr. Hell said the nomination of Mr. > >'an Buren at Nashville, as a candidate for ae Vice Presidency, was the act of a few l idividuals, and one which gave consider- . ble dissatifaction in Tennessee.
