apeakeF's conduct was, the continued eabrls made by him to explain Mr. Randnlphs meaning, and tn every instance c0nstruing t, not only against Mir Wright but against com men sense. He ought tV be taught that this Is not part of his duty and when SD partial expose him to well grounded censure.
 Mir. Carson. Of whose celebrity (if an lllau- Aabe Dotariety may be SD called, need moi remind you,) acted as bUttle-hOlder to Ran dOph during the contest, continually bawIlng out |" urder," and interruptiDg Wright, whilst his calls were mostly declared out of order by the Speaker. He reminded me of a pas sage in comic song, in which the maniac, RO- berts, used to he SD happy :-" That there man hawIing out siLrnce, makes mOre noise than all the rest on 'em."
 One word as to coughing dos0n. Randolph in his speech on Wednesday, defended him. self from any participation in the attempt t" put Wright down by such means. The rest Of the party do not. however, think necessa- ry to deny any such pndeavOr. They declare triumphantly that Wright was coughed douCn. In one of our New York Jackson papers, see it announced as a matter of exultatiOn, that this species of gag -lasO was actually enforced. The declaration is made in letter from this place, understood to have been written by the Hon. Gulian VerpIanck. W ho is here thought as the correspondent of tn" paper to which Ialude. He is thorough Jackson man, and doubtless spoke the sentiments of his party, in growing over this Jackson system of mug zling the freedom of speech.
 Looking at the whsle affair does it not re- fleet disgrace upon the party wh" triumph in such degrading advantages; on the presiding officer who sat quietly, on his seat, and saw the House, over which he was elected to pre- side, made, by the noise and nproar of his friends little short of boar garden: and "n Randolph who put the pack to the scent | think so.--Many others agree with me. What will the people think
 It is said that the sarcasms of Wright,which were all, as Hamlet says, 'palpable hits.' and which caused Randolph to vince. also extor- ted from him an acknowledgement of their effect. The story is,that Randolph observed of Wright at the close of debate, that he had not drealnt that the fellow had half the stuff in him that he had displayed.---N: Y. Amer icQn.

GARDENING.

America has soil and climate surpass-
ing those of England; and yet she is sur
prisingly deficient in variety as well as
quantity of garden products. ! am not
now abiding to things of ornament, or
appertaining to luxurious enjoyments, but
to things that are really usefil, and that
tend to the preservation Of health, without
which latter, life is not worth having. 1t
is incredible to those, whohave not had
occasion to observe the fact how large a
part of the sustenance of country labor
er's family, in England, comes out of his
little garden. The laborers of England
are distinguished from those of other
countries by striking Eeculiarities but,
by no one are they SO strongly distinguish
ed as by their fondness Of their gardens,
and by the diligence, care and taste, which
they show in the management of them.
The reproach which Solomon afixes to
the slothful and ignorant husbandman,
they seem to have constantly in their
minds and to be continually on the watch
to prevent it applying to themselves.
Poverty may apologisefor dirty dress or
an unshaven face; men may be negligent
of their persons; but the sentence of the
whole nation is, that he who is sloven
in his garden is sloven indeed. The
inside of laborer's house, his habits, his
qualities as workman, and almost his
morality, may be Judged Of from the APP
pearance of his garden.
Ii seems at first sight, very odd that this
taste for gardening should not have been
preserved in America but, it is to be ac-
counted for by rejecting that, where land
is abundant, attachment and even atten-
ton to small spots wear away. To desire
to possess land is universal desire and

a long Editorial Address to the public
it disclaims all sectarian doctrines in Re.
ligion or the taking Of any part in the
Presidential election. 1t is intended prin-
cipally for the benefit of the Cherokees-
to enlighten their own minds, and to clear
up all mistakes and misrepresentation
about them, from the minds of American
politicians. One point it seems particu-
larly anxious to impress upon them; that
it is neither their interest nor their wish
to initiate the Creeks, Chickasaws and
Choctaws in the abandonment of their
own country. 1t declares that they are
unanimously opposed to any emigration
from their own lands to the country west
of the Missisippi.-Riclm. Eng.

vanity makes us prefer quantity to quality.
You may prove as clearly as daylight,
that it is better, in certain cases, to pos
sess one acre than hundred but where
do you find the man that prefers the one
acre ? When large parcels of land are
undertaken to be cultivated, small ones
are held in contempt. And, though a
good garden supplies SO large a part of
what is consumed by a family, and keeps
supplying it all the year round too, there
are many farmers even in England, who
grudge even wheeIbarrow full of manure
that is bestowed on a garden. The gar
den may by its intrinsic utility, be made
to be valuable helpmate to farmer.

AeRrcuLruRE. We held conversation
the other day with an intelligent, expert
enced and scientific farmer from England,
who has farm of 100 acres, IL or IL miles
from Philadelphia, and who assures US that
the climate Of this state is superior for agri-
cultural purposes to that Of England, and
that the average quality of the soil of what
we call good land is also equally good, and
capable of being made more productive than
the best in England, because the climate
will admit of greater number ofcrops be-
ing raised. He states that he can, and will
in due season, prove that well managed
farm here, under present circumstances and
at the present rates of the market, will yield
a profit of fifteen per cent. upon the capital
invested.-PhaadeIphic Gaz.

BLEACHING. The Albany Argus relates
the following facts of recent discovery,
one of the properties of steam, and ofmeas-
ures which have been taken, for bringing it
to the rest Impractical utility.
Amongst the various purposes to which
steam has been applied, perhaps there is
none that will be of greater advantage to
the people of the United States, than the
discovery recently made of its application
to the purposes of bleaching linen and mus
lin. 1t will be of essential service to our
infant manufactures. Wehave samples left
at our Office of thick linen drilling, which
were bleaehed in the short space of ten
hours, without the least injury to the fabric !;
and of cotton, which was bleaChed in
much less time.
We understand a patent has been obtain
ed for this improvement, and that compa-
ny are making application to tae legisla-
ture to be incorporated with capital of
100000, that its benefits may BE- tested by
the community.

nearly equivalent to superceding j alto
gether. To sum up the merits Of tbs sys-
tenn, 1t may be stated to be a mode o1giving
all the most important advantages d steam
to the force of the wind, with evengreater
power than steam is capable Of and with
greater economy than the system OF sails.
1t is not the object of this paper to enter
into the details Of this systom, but merely to
give general idea of its most Important
points. What may be the precise result of
the application of such enormous powers as
are here contemplated to vessels f different
descriptions, it is impossible to calculate !;
but it is presumed that i will not be going
too far, when we see the ready means that
are afforded of obtaining powers equal to
1000, 1000, or even 40W horses, to enter
tain sanguine hopes Of doubling the speed
at which our vessels have hitherto passed
over the bosom of the ocean, In conclusion,
it may not be amss to add. that the state
ment contained in this paper, of the power
OF different sized wheels, as calculated from
their actual capacities, that is to say, from
the loads OF water which they are capable
OF containing, have been practically verified
by the experiment above mentioned. A
small wave wheel has been actually found
capable of raising one pound weight, which
datum, allowing the loads of different wheels
to increase as the cubes of their diameters,
with the due increase Of velocity proper
toned to the diameters of these wheels on
supposltlon that wave of 2 feet 6 inches
would recur 20 times in minute, that one
OF 8 feet might recur ten times in a minute,
and one of 0feet five times, will be found
to give upwards of 500 horse power to the
2O-feet wheel; l0-feet wheel will give 62
horse, eject wheel 10 horse: practical
result, obtained from very imperfect mo-
del, far more than sufficient to warrant all
that has been stated in this paper, of the
vast advantages to be derived from this in
vention. Various notifications of this sys-
tenn might be pointed out; thus power of
great extent might be collected from the
waves by water-tight vessels, or buoys at
the end OF levers, ranged along the ships
side, or, at either end, Communicating either
with oars or paddles; but it is conceived
that the combination of buoyancy and graz
witty, by means of the wave wheel, is by far
the most eligible mode of effecting it, since,
by varying its internal construction by spi-
raj chambers or otherwise, an endless varie-
ty may be made in its velocity and rotative
powers, which is not within the scope of this
paper to detail. A combination may also
be obtained by means of reservoirs in the
intervals between the wheels, by means of
which greater powers may be given to the
wheels with less projection. It is evident,
also, that by these means this kind of power
might be applied to working of cranes on all
Wharves having open spaces in front.
