AGRICULTURAL.
SEED CORN.

The expediency of planting the earlier
kinds ofcorn is attracting attention through
out New-England. 1t is the unanimous
testimony, we believe, of those who have
tried it, that the Clark corn or the Tucket
corn will give as good crop 10 the ac,e
as the largest kind, if planted at the right
distance. You may plant it as close as
you can and leave space for cultivation.
The fodder is finer and better and the
corn heavier.
In the course of years, the crop may be
materially increased by selecting, seed, on
right principles, Mr.. Thomas n. Baden,
of Prince Georges, County Maryland,
gives the following account OF: hisprocess
for obtaining profitable corn aEnterpfis-
ing farmers m New-Englan Should en-
ter utorf similar course without delay.

The RESOLUTIONS ON SLAVERY
We published yesterday the yeas and nays
in the Massachusetts House Of Represen-
tatives on the Resolutions touching Adolf
ton petitions TO Congress. We had sup
posed that the Resolutions so passed were
those reported by Committee Of which
Mr.. Parkes was chairman, 1t appears
however, that the House had a separate
report upon the memorial OF Francis Jack
son and Others which report we published
the 4th of March These were the res

Whereas, the House Of Representatives
of the United States, in the month of jan

sand eight hundred and thirty-seven, did
adopt resol ution, whereby it was ordered
that all petitions, memorials, resolutions,
propositions, or papers, relating IN any
way, or to any extent whatever, to the
subject of slavery, or the abolition Of slave
ry, without being either printed or refer
red, should be laid on the table, and that
no further action whatever should pc had
thereon, and whereas, by the resolution
aforesaid, which is adopted as standing
rule of the present Honse of Representa-
tives, the petitions of large number OF
the people ofthis commonwealth, praying
for the removal ola great social, moral
and political evil, have been sighted and
condemned: therefore,
