the Committee ON Swine at the late Cattle
Show. We must decline publishing it at
this time. believing the tendency of it to be
injurious to the best interests of the county
The names of that committee, are a sufficient
guaranty for the purity of their motives, and
being, all of them, practically acquainted
with rearing Swine, we do not doubt their a.

preference, if required. The Committee were

NEW-JERSEY CANAL

LIZ
Mr, Clinton and General Bernard
have returned from tour through New
Jersey, for the purpose of surveying
the rout OF the contemplated canal from
the Delaware TO the Hudson. They
iraversed the whole line to its termiua-
ton at Easton, pennsylvania and are
fully satisfied of the practibility and adj
Vantages Of such navigable commune
cation. 1t is estimated that the whole
expense of the canal would amount TO
100000, and that the annual amount
OF tolls, when the work is completed.
would not be less than S 10000. The
canal will not only pass through a
wealthy, agricultural and manufacturing
district, but also through section Of
the state Astounding in rich mines of
various descriptions. Immense quantities
OF the Lehigh coal would also come to
ahls city through the same channel.
1t appears from letter in one of the
charleston papers, dated at Pineville(S.
~ that the inhabitants in that part of
the country are still amusing themselves
IN hunting negroes. They have taken
one negro and three wenches; one of
the latter (the wife of negro JOEY was

chance shot. Such proceedings may be
Justliiable, but zve cannot reconcile them

THOUGHTS ON MANUFACTURES.

A great deal has been written on this sub
ject, but have no recollection of having seen
a review of the situation of those nations who
are Agricultural, who are Commercial and Ag-
ricultural, and those who are Commercial, Ag-
ricultural and Manufacturing; tho certainly
amidst the conflicting opinions, which the con-
troversy respecting Manufactures has given
rise to, a farer criterion of the relative advan-
tages, and the degree of ease and ailuence APP
pertaining to each of these situations, could
hardly have been desired. will therefore take
IA brief sketch of such nations, and leave the
reader to form his own judgment on this mo
mentous and Interesting subject.
Poland may be considered the first nation en-
tirely Agricultural, in Europe. She supplies
through the Baltic ports almost all the grain
which the necessities of other parts of Europe
require, and yet, aItho' blessed with fruitful
soil and fine climate, the situation of her far
mers and peasantry is extremely wretched, and
she enjoys less of the blessings of civilization
than almost any other European nation.
In many ports of Hungary and Transylva-
MIA, altho' the the soil is extremely fertile, yet
for want of market for the productions of the
farmer large tracts of land lay perfectly uncul-
tivated and in state of nature.
Such is likewise the situation of the two pro-
vinces of Walachia and Moldavia, which are in
great degree uncultivated, though no country
under Heaven is more capable Of rewarding the
tolls of the husbandman.
The Crimea, formerly the Taurica Cherso-
ncsus, celebrated by the ancient Greeks for its
Commerce, and for its exuberant harvests, had
so tptally degenerated, that when conquered
| from the Tartars by the Russians, it was merely
employed for feeding their focks; but since
Odessa has been made free port Agriculture
has been greatly revived, and immense quanti-
ties of wheat are now exported from thence,
where, not great many years ago, grain
scarcely grew.
Russia, now the largest empire in the world.
and fastprogressing in Manufactures, in Com
merce and Agriculture, was, not a century ago,
scarcely any thing more than desert waste; but
by the fostering care of the Emperor byintrodu-
cling Manufactures, and by encouraging Agri-
culture, its Commerce has increased in an as
tonishing legree; and at no distant day, Rus.
sia will become great Manufacturing nation
and her flag will be found floating in every
part of the world.
Prussia, when the Great Frederick came to
the throne, possessed scarcely more Agriculture

DIR. FRANKLIN ON THE PRESS.

"In the conduct Of my newspaper, carefully
excluded all Ibeling and personal abuse, which
has of late years become so disgraceful to our
country. Whenever | was solicited 10 insert
any thing of that kind, and the writer's pleaded
las they generally dd) the liberty of the press
and that a newspaper was like stage coach,
in which any one who would pay, had right to
place my answer was, that would print the
piece separately, if desired; and the author
might have as many copies as he pleased, 10
distribute himself; but that would not take up
on me to spread his detraction; and that hav-
ing contracted with my subscribers to furnish
them with what nigh be either useful or enter
tanning could not fill their papers with private
alterations in which they had no concern,
without doing them manifest injustice. Now,
many of our printers make no scruple in graft
fying the malice of individuals, by false accusa-
tions of the farest characters among ourselves,
augmenting anmosity even to the producing OF
dueIs and are, moreover, so indiscreet as to
print scurrilous reflections on the government
of neighbourng states, and even on the conduct
of our best national allies, which may be atten-
ded with the most pernicious consequences
These things | mention as caution to young
printers, and that they be encouraged not to
pollute the presses, and disgrace their proies-
sion by such infamous practices, but refuse
steadily, as theManay see, by my example, that
such course, of couduct will not, on the whole,
be injurious to their interests"

tered, to delay his .oai il J.. ", reinforce
ments. In Catalonia, Genera, Nina had, by an
able manGuvre, got in tie rear of tie French
army, and as the road to France was'thus open
ed to him, it was conjectu'ed that he intended
to carry the war into thai country, and either
retaiate upon France the INJURIES inflicted upon
Spain, or by raising the tri-soored flag to induce
the French people to rise III arms against their
present imbecie rulers. All accounts represent
great majority of the French people to be hos
tile to the invasion of Spain, and it is strongly
presumed that any serious reverse to their
arms in that country, will be the signal of revo-
luton in France.

BAoHeparte ulire.-The ;ettars Of the Daae
d'Angouleme, give the most alarming accounts
of the progress of desertions. They state that
two-iiths of the soldiers, those who have been
four or five years in the service, have got q
strange and absurd idea into their heads, that
Napoleon is ative! aud in Spain, and they are
burning to join him. They call him te Nal Mort.
Singular to say, this opinion prevails among
the peasantly; they cannot be persuaded of his
death. When you speak to them of it, they
laugh slyly and ncredulously.
The London Morning Chronicle of the oath of April
declares that it is the intention of Lord Byron to quit
the shores of Italy, and take his departure for Greece
there to join the standard Of the oppressed.

An estimate has been made Of the quantity
of rauo cotton slun in the U. S. and the num-

that the lbs. of cotton spun in the U. S. are
about 9945, ,609-and the spindles 250,673.-

THE AGE OF PROPHECY.

oThere shall arise false Chrsts anil false Prophets,

The New York papers tell US that the town
of Brooklyn has given birth to a prophet. who
had not been in this vale of tears over fire mi
nutes. ere I" it raised its little hands and eyes
and soemnly proclaimed that the whole OF
New York was to be desolated with the yellow
fever the present season, beyond any former al
fiction of this kind that has ever befallen it,
and that those who should escape the ravages
of the pestilence acould not be sufficiently nu-
,nerous to bury the dead!!" These awful IT,
dings were uttered in deep and solemn tone;
when inished, the little oracle closed its eyes
aud sunk into the arms of eternal rest
Ag IA writer in the Saturday Evening
Post 81 June Id, in communication under the
head "a WONDERFUL PROPHET" announces to
the good citizens of Philadelphia, that certain
wonderful man in that city tells certain won
derful things; and had seen young man, who,
while receiving his predictions was very much
! affected. What may be the opinion Of the wri-
\ ter of the above named article, with respect to
! THIS prOueSc we Will not enquire, (tnOuS'i
it seems to augur favourably,) but of the learn
ed Editors, whose Judgment we respect, we
would ask, if this is not scheme of the Prophet
to raise the wind" on sumo emergency, or a
new way to gull the unkuowing of their spare
change Who knows but the anxious cores
pondent may be follower of this false prophet
We believe that this person, instead of being
the holy anointed of God as Seer, and invested
with the power of foretelling events, promulga.
ting, as he says, what he believes to be the whole
counsel of God Immediately revealed to him as
a prophet of the Lord, is nothing more nor less
than one of those miserable creatures knowr
