HOME AFFAIRS.

SCARCITY OF PROVISIONS.-Muca has
been said in the newspapers, in the course
of the last SIX months, about the scarcity OF
provisions throughout our country, and, 10
account for it, many ingenious hypothesis
have been Offered. Toindgc from the va
rious publications upon the subject in which
these six months have been so fertile, We
should infer that our land was upon the eve
ofa famine, and that at least one half of our
population would die of starvation. Some
ascribe this scarcity to a failure of crops,
others to the diversion of agricultural labor
from the production of provisions to that of
cotton, others again TO the influx of foreign
crs, others to the rage for specializing in
Western lands, and others again 20 ali these
causes Jointly. Each Of these imputed eau
scs has its par;sans, Wno contend tort with
as much pertinacity as ingenuity; perhaps
with more. They remind lis ofthc disputes
among the French philosophers upon the
question proposed by DR.. Franklin, why a
fish, placed in a tub ofwater. did not increase
the volume of the fluid! After each had
given his very ingenious reasons, they were
all thrown into perplexity by the Doctors
! asking them if,hcv had asccrtaincd the fact.
They found that what they had expended SO
much argumcntto prove ,ras not a tact.
So, We believe, it would appear to those
who would cndeavor TO ascertain if there
was any scarcity ofprovisons in the country.
instead of taking it for granted, and then en-
dcavoring TO show the reasons for it. We
do no; believe ;ha: the cultivation of food
for man or beast has declined within the
United States within the last five Years, 9th.
er absolutely or relative V. On the contra.
ry. VIC believe that more land is now undcl
cultivation for such purposes, than ever has
been before: and VIC believe that the propor.
ton between production and consumption
is as great now rs ever. We will examine
the different causes assigned for this aegcC
scarcity. and cndcayor 10 show their fiji ill.,
".
One cause assigned is Il failure Of crops
The crops used in the United States in pro
visions or in producing provisions, in othc
words as food for man or beast, are those
OF Indian corn. potatoes, and grass: an(
theS. are produced almost exclusively i:
the Northern. Middle, and Western States
and in Maryland and Virginia. The prin

REPORT.

! The Comniitec on Federal Relations Ies
leare to Report on so much Of the Gorern
! or's Message referred to them as relates
! TO Teras.
The Committee fully agree with his Ex
celIency on the propriety and sound policy
Of the Government Of the United States
maintaining q strict neutrality with all for.
eign na:ions, and specially with Mexico in
her contest with Texas, and that we are the
last people who should set an example ol
imper.inent Interference with the internal
concerns Of other States. No people can
long be safe from fore; ;gn combinations il
they, themselves, are the first to violate the
laws Of nations, 10 crafty on tic par; oi
their citizens rapacity for gain, in case
where they suppose their superior strength
enables them 10 take advantage of the fee
bleness of others. If that justice which
should always be maintained between civil
lied States is once abandoned, and the rule
of cxpediency established in its place, the
weaker S acs Of the world cannot hope long
to sustain their Liberties; but must sooner
or later fall prey to the predatory spirit OF
a foreign people, or to the ambition ofnelgh-
bourlng tyrants.
Your Committee cannot but look upon q
war; at this time, between the United States
and Mexico as a calamity greatly to be de-
prcca.cd for more reasons than it IS now
necessary to announce; and solemnly y pro-
test against any violation of that neutrality
which our government PROCESSES towards
that State. South Carolina cannot consent,
under 4 supposed idea Of self in.cres:, to vi
olate the sancii:y Of the law Of nations, or
that neutrality which should always be guar.
ded by the United Safes towards foreign
nation engaged in an internal struggle
Under the present circumstances, to &C.
knowledge the independence Of Texas and
receive her into this Union could be no
less than declaration of war against Mex.

to acknowledge the independence ofTexas,
and should it ever arrive, your Committee

who signs himself ga young Farmer"
asks us whether any use can be made OF
his Buckwhcat straw? Our reply is, that
it is better for mich COWS than the best tImo-
thy hay-that his COWS will eat it with equal
avidity,-that ifit has not been exposed too
long to the vicissitudes Of the weather 1t will
prove equally nutritious 10 them,--that SO
far as the secretion Of milk is concerned It
infinitely preferable TO any hay or fodder
within our knowledge, and that when cut
and boiled, or steamed, it makes most ac-
,ccptable slop for the COWS. We will say
further, that the "old plan" ofthrow'ng this
wholesome and nutritious provender upon
the dung-hcap, or in the ban-yard. to be
,rampled under feet, should be Abandoned

confinement, and incidence usually resor
ted to, ought to be strictly prohibited, as
traught with evil to both nurse and CHILD
*Some mothers have notion thai, because
they nurse, they must eat more than usual,
whether their appetite calls for it or not A
most perncious error. No rule is more lnva-
riable than that when the body needs nour-
ishment, and the digestive organs are IN a
state to prepare it from the food taken into
the stomach there is always an appetite tor
it. More food taken into the stomach than
the appetite calls for invariably creates rri-
tation, and more or less disturbs the diges-
tive process, and of course impairs the quality
OF the milk secreted. When the health Is
good there is commonly an appetite for more
food in time of nursing than at other times.
When this is the case food ought to be taken
according to the appetite, provided it is dlges-
ted without oppression to the stomach.-ED'

day, MIR Slade of Vermont, presented u
memorial from Sundry citizens of Phila-
delphia, demonstrating against the admis-
sion of Arkansas into the Union, with n
constitution permitting the existence of
slavery aud prohibiting the abolition of
slavery MrSlade moved that the memorial
be read aud printed.
The reception of the memorial was OBJ
jected to.
The Chair declared that it had been re-
ceived.
The reading of the memorial was OBJ
iected to, but the chair decided that the
gentleman had right to call for the read
lug Of memorial which had been receiv-
ed.
1t was moved to reconsider the tacit vote
asserting to the presentation of the memo
rial, which motion the Chair said was in
order
Pending this motion upon the suggestion
of Mr. Glascock,
The Chair stated, that upon examining
the memorial, he had found that it come
within the resolution referring all papers
on the subject of abolition 10 the select
committee on that subject, and that accord
ing the memorial had been received and
referred under that resolution.
Mr. Cambreleng called for the special or
der of the day,
Mr. Slade reiterated the demand, which
he had before made and had not abandon
ed, for the reading of the memorial.
Thereupon dozen questions of order
arose and were conversed about.
The Chair decided that the memorial
had been disposed of, and that it was not
now in order TO demand its reading.
Mr. Slade appealed from this decision.
Some five or six questions of order were
now stated, pending all which motion
was made to adjourn, which was agreed
to. SO, at half past three o'clock, the
House adjourned
