Buren, with Harrison Gray Otis and Daniel Web
s'er federasts,' and " tho leaders Of the op
position to Mr.. Madison's administration, and as
instisators and heals ofthc Hartford Convention, -
70 which We have two remarks to make =: lst If
HIS be true, The culrcper Gazette knew it ms well
eight nen,hs age whom /, was n jealous nd socatc
of Mr.. Van Buren, for tho Vice Presidency, MS il
does now aud adlv, If he was one of the instiga
tors OF the Hartford Convention, we DO not acc
why that ACT should render him unpopular with
those who, like thu Culpepcr Gazette, are now al
yocalins the most mschevons prctenslon set up
10y that Convcntion--to wittho right OF Seco.si on
Tie aeTk Presidency. The Cincinnati Adver-
t,ser, u leading Jackson paper in OHIO, remarks
a II becomes the friends OF Judge MeLoan---among
whom 1t is well known we have ever counted our.
selves--,o have it distinctly known and under
stood that, unless some unexpected occurrence
should furnish occasion for different course they
will supper, him for tho highest station in the poo
pies gih--an that under no circumstances will
they support Mr Van Buren,
The Wheeling Va) Times IN alluson 10 the
no.uinaiion Of d. w Leigh, Esq. as next prcsi.
dent, ssvs-." Eastern Virginia may vote for him
-b,, tho Trans. Allegheny people have not SO
soon forgotten the degrading comparison of Mr.,
Leghs in the Convection, OF the itecmen Of the
Yves, TO the slaves OF the East"
The Knoxville tTenn) Register adverting to
MIR. Leghs nomination, remarks -" As u man

Should he. however, have any aspirngs in this
way, the people, we imagine, will expect 10 know
something nbou,hls notions of Nullfca,ion and

high repute will the disciples Of tlo.o doctrines"
We note these ihlhss merely rs shadows, which
'emng events are caslng before.
WOOL The following statistical accounts
are curious and interesting England and Wales
feed IS 900 90 OF Sheep, each Of which yields u
fleece OF fonr mounts weight, or Ii | 900, 600 lbs
which atone shilling PER round is worth f7ioo,-
900. These manufactured pfnluee 500 DOD 600
leaving apro6t Of Ga, 900 600 per annum TO the
various manufacturer.
II We copy The foregoing, for the purpose of
asking why the people OF Virginia do not turn
their attention To tho raising Of wool /? We have
heard persons onvcrsnnt in such matters remark
that no where, moi even IN Spain, can finer sheep
ranges be found than in our own mountains
Why, then, do We neglect this source OF individual
and national wealth?
A 81 Augustine paper states that n gentleman
n Toroka county, Florida, has manufactured
from one mere Of cane, -four .ogsheads of sugnr n
voragng more than 1000 barrels each, worth i
cents, being upwards Of $3.50
2 + Such paragraphs rs tho above circulated
IN the newspapers, are very well calculated TO
create nndehaisha spift Of emigration, already
100 rife, in the old States. We bavo no doub, it
speaks tie truth, so far rs !, goes hu, does it
speak the whole truth |, docs not toll US, vhat
we learn from good authority is the fact, that for
very acre oflsnd in Florida which will yield this
amount OF profit there iorty-nine Of sandy
soil es barren as the Arabian wastes.
