FAR MING.
From the American Farmer.

The practice among farmers Of con.
timing their attention to n few staple
articles, such rs wheat, corn. cotton,
or tobacco. is injudicious aud may be
considered one Of the causes Of the de
preston Of the agricultural interest.
Where dependence is placed upon a
single, or two or three kinds Of crops,
there is much more probability OF loss
by the tluc,uation Of prices, than there
would be IL greater variety Of crops
were cultivated; for il seldom occurs
that the prices Of all products Of agri-
culture arc equally depressed or cle-
waited by the same cause at the same
time.
Ii is without doubt the farmers best
policy. to cultivate every article to
which his soil and the climate are a
iapted. 1t gives him an advantage in
the market; IL one or two articles are
depressed, his whole dependence is
not involved in il. IL gives him an
advantage in cultivation; he is not o.
biiged to bend all his energies to the
cultivation of an immense field at one
season. and have nothing to do al ano-
Their; his labors are equalizcd aud dis
tributed among the seasons, and
throughout the year, and thus he saves
both money and time. To no profcs-
sion is the admonition, "gsthcr up the
Fragments" so applicable as TO the far
mer; particularly the fragments Of
timc-nOw, with too many, ungather-
ed up and unappropriated to any use
like the fragments Of their stable and
barn yards, which with such farmers
are scattered. and their precious salts
evaporated "into thin air." when they
might have formed, if gathered up"
bank Of compost containing mex.
hausiible riches.

THE PROCLAMATION

To show the groVelling and desplcable spirit OF
fayoritsm which rules at Washington, the President
Proclamation announcing the opening Of the ports,
was sent to The jackson Offices in this city, and with
holden from this until it reached us through other
channels than the Government organ.
We care not ffg for the matter further than to
conemn the spirit which shows itself so unworthy of
the position which it dsgraces. From the master
down te the lowest Of his mnions, the same want
of magnanimty, the absence of every thing gene
rous tolerant and noble--the Same purpose of ere
warding friends and furnishing enemies under which
denomination they reckon every free spirit who does
not bend to the image erected the plains of Dura-
is conspicuous. Unwttingly, the American People
in the plentude of their gratitude and the ascendan-
cy of the highest feelings Of patriolisp have placed
Dyonisus all but bis learning, in that seat hall
lowed by the father of his country the all embracing
Republicanism of Jefferson and the modest virtues of
Madison. He knows citizen but. a Jacksonan,
yields power but to crush toerates difference of
opinion, and the national Golfers private Ex-
chequer to remunerate the services of those who vo-
Cferate the loudest his cause. Can this state of
thiDgs--will it--shall fought it to last?
But 10 return to the Proclamation. It is before
the reader. As citizen we glad this matter is
we'll ended because if there is value in the West In
dia trade directive wish country rcapit We are
glad politically, because one standing of delu-
ding the people, used often and efficiently, for
the last or years. is finally withdrawn. Hydra to
