CULTIVATION OF CORN.

We take time by the fore-lock. to suggest to our subscribers and other readers, the properiety of saving all their ashes, through the present fall, ensuing winter, and spring, from the weather, with n view of nanuring their corn in the hill the next season. The effect of q half pint or pint of ashes upon q hill of corn, must be seen tofeceiyo cre- dence but we feel certain that we hazard nothing in saying, that the yield of an acre
 thus stimulated 10 vegetable luxuriancc, will yield thirty-three and third per cent, more than one which is not, though both may be in equal tilth at the onset. We do not pre- tend to comprehend the modus operands, or specific action of ashes, in promoting vege- table growth whether 1t be by nellorating the superineumbent material, and convert ing it into pabnlous substance peculiarly adapted 10 the purposes of vegetable food, or whether 1t acts more directly, and mere- ly as a stimulant; but of it's effect, from long and close observation, we are enabled to speak with certainty.-It IS beyond all comparison, the most efficient manure for present purposes, that can be used m the cultivation of almost any crop. And wo would venture this opinion---thaf com manured with unleached ashes in the hill, would be les annoyed by the cut worm. than that to which other manure had been applied. Wo recur to this subject thus early, because we desire that some of our
 public spirited and intelligent farmers should prepare themselves to make such ex- perimenis as may silence all cayiiing upon l the subject. Baltimore Farmer.

The Attorney General of the Unted States, in an opinion addressed to the Sec retary of State, it is said, opposes the right of Arkansas 10 do more than propose q Constitution for the consideration of Con eress.

The following proportion will answer for 50 pair of shoes.

Almost every day we have accounts of invitations heinsg ss ts tsssss. ta lhe hanks ei other locate agencies in the principal towns ofthis state. Ne nre now the prey of all the lo- cal hunks. The most strenuous opposcrs of the system in tie abstract, must admit, that many hundred thousand dollars will be drained from the pockets efour citizens, by these foreign institutions. which might have been saved by the establishment of state bank sel eaf owfi.

 .Staruaiion-sYe see 1t stated in one of the papers that the supply of flour in the market is only sufficient for 90 days con sumption. It becomes a serious question what we shall do after the flour is gone. Ne must have something to eat. Then he supply of coal is short too, so that he that escapes from famine may expect to be stfiened by Jack Frost. Notwithstanding ali this our citizens are as blithe and cheer ful as if the end of their bread and butter were not at hand. No one even suggests the propriety of getting the Common Coun- Gil to put us on short allowance. In such terrible streights we turn to tho genus of Free Trade for help, and we are happy to announce that several cargoes of grain are on their way from the well stored granaries of Europe, and that within the ninety days to which 1t is said our present stock will last, good many more cargoes may pos sibly arrive.

THE JUDICIARY.

We notice in many of the Van Buren pa. 1 pers--tfem the Globe and New York Post down to the Portland Araus--lfequent at taeks on the Judiciary. These journals ob- ect entirely to the present constitution e tist, l Court, and afe in favor of entire.y subyer-
 ting il; being disposed to appoint the judges i by popular election, and for term of years. instead of for life. Others recommend that
 they should be removable at the pleasure of the President.
 Ne are not aware of mr. Van Buren's present views on this subject, nor can We learn them through any other medium than that of his fayorite journals. But his opin- ions in January, 1926, are on record, and We only regret thai he has been compelled to sacrifice them to dwelling exactions of his more reckless partizans. In the Senate ol the United States, on the occasion to which we refe.-Mr. Van Buren said
 '.Slr, Ii would be strange if the tenden- cles of this high tribunal wero not such as have supposed: unless, indeed, they were more or less than men. 1t Is not only made by this government, and sustained by this government, its members not only S',S " u eti tNe'i tiiSJ iiofO utiu dib tu p6s but they are the only portion of it that is permanent, that is beyond inc reach of any power known. to the Constitution. The pillows of faction may run mountains high, and yet not reach them. The indignant voice of an. abused people may, at stated pe- riods, sweep by the board every other DOT tIon of the men in power, may take from theni the little brief authority under which they have strutted their busy hour upon the stage, and cause them to be seen no more, but the Supreme Court alone can never be palsied by the will of its eonstita- ents.' AND, Six, ALL THINGS ooNslp- BRED, TT IS BEST THAT IT IS sop
 Such were the views entertained by Mr Van Buren, at period when he acted without specific reference 10 any pfesiden- tial nomination. But now, through the va fious presses, the Judiciary is denounced as the nucleus q q factio7i; and his effort now IS to be directed 10 filing the Bench with his own creatures, preparatory 10 the measures which it may De found expedient to adopt for is final prostratlon.
