There will be meeting Of the friends
Of Education of Portage county, at Ra.

slider the importance Of having one or

FWYHE Subscriber, believing that the Farms
IL ing interest of the Western Reserve is
sufficiently great to sustain en- Agricultural Pa-
per. proposes Publishing, at Ravenna. Portage
county, paper devoted exclusively to that
subject.
The fact is now clearly demonstrated, that
Agricultural Papers are of great advantage to
the Farming Interests of country In New
England and in New York, where the art of
Agriculture is carried nearer to perfection than
in any of the other States of the Uninn, there
are several papers devoted to that subject
which have wide circulation.
Though the population Of the Reserve cons
sists chiefly of Farmers, yet there is not pas
per designed entirely for their interests, while
there are no less than t,Centy>eigM political
and religious papers.
The AGmcuLrURIsT will be strictly neutral
in politics and roligion-it will contain cors
rect statement OF the markets, and give that
information most useful to the interest of
turner's
The great improvements which are now oc-
cupyipg the attention of the Farming Public
the many new inventions in the implements
of husbandry which are continually appearing,
render it highly necessary that all who are cat
culating to carry the business to great extent
should be possessed o! the earliest informa-
ton on the subject. Now, when the culture
of Silk, and the growth of the Beet for the
manufacture of Sugar is becoming the engross-
ing topic of the age, it is important that the
Farmers of the Reserve should be made ac>
ouainted with all the information TO b. had on
the subject, and we shall give our attention
on the procuring aud disseminating knowledge
to these interesting objects.
The first number will be issued some time
in April, if sufficient number OF subscribers
shall be obtained to warrant it.

CONVENTION OF BUSINESS MKN.-
The Philadelphia National Gazette
says -" The Business Convention re.
assembled yesterday, and issued an
address to the People of the United
States. We shall publish this docu-
ment. 1t condemns the disorganizing
doctrines and profigate demagogues
'ofthe day in very general terms. The
application IS of easy Inference
Though it draws a vivid picture of the
deranged monetary and business af.
fairs of the country, yet it does not tell
the true cause. To iterate the down.
right facts ofa question is not to take
sides with party. But the Convention
was perfectly right in avoiding any
thing that could be baptized as partial
because 1t was PROFESSIONALLY true
We know nothing of the political bear
lngs of its members, but the address
shows its majority to be eminently con-
sentative. and opposed to political rad
icalism."
