o. The Government Journal has added new At
tiele to the modern Democratic laith-to ,ed " large
Standing Armies IN time of peace" which is Just
the reverse Of what the Democratic doctrine used to
be, before it was corrected and revised by A. Jack
son. Large standing armies were not only objected
to by the old Democrats, because of the heavy eXpen-
ditnrcs necessarily consequent thcrenron but also
because they supposed to be uniavorabe to the
pcrpetuatiou Of the liberty OF the people. But The
Globe tells Congress that it ought not to adjourn
until ii shall have passed bill establishing "ma
Nv force from the Sabine the Falls of St Aulhony
and from thence 10 Michigan How many new of
fcers will be created and the Federal patronage
thereby extended, we cannot say but glance at the
map will show tla this immense line of frontier can
not be defended with less than double our present
force. Thus are all the old Democratic maxms re-
versedby modern Democrats, WHO 90 further than tie
old FederoliS,s in minimizing Federal doctrines and

supplied by noble recruits from the ranks of those

SILK CULTURE.


The Richmond Enquirer of a late
date has long and valuable article on
the subjects which head this article, con-
tanning numerous excerpts from different
writers, in relation to Mulberry trees, Co.
coons, &c. &c. The Enquirer says -
Virginia is not asleep in. relation to
this new branch Of industry. We have
heard of large profits being made in the
ncighborhood Of Fredericksburg, Peters.
burg, and of Norfolk; in Caroline coun.
ty, Brunswick, &c. The profits made
by Mr.. Hicks of Brunswick, on an out
lay of from 2 to $500 IN the Morus Mul.
ticaulis, have been already noticed in this
paper. It amounted, according to let.
ter of that gentleman to the editor Of the
Farmers Register, to $7,500-bcsides
retaining an ample stock for his future
productions. We have heard Of anec-
dotes Of astonishing profits being made in
several places. They are as rife as they
are amusing; of little squares in gardens,
producing profit enough to amaze the
owner-of small spots of ground, which
had cost only 5 to 600 dollars, turning out
inthis new species of agriculture, 8 to
1000 dollars-of cute farmers in the
North, looking ahead, coming to Virginia,
selecting the best soils and situations,
sending on their one or two-eyed cuttings,
and reaping this fall a harvest Of several
thousand dollars. The Monls Multican-
lis and the Silk Worm, are now all the
go. Forty dollars the thousand for cut.
tings are offered. Trees are bought al
$25 or moFe- and some gentlemen in our
own city are talking Of establishing co.
cconeries IN our vicinity. The subject IS
certainly worthy Of inquiry and we
hope our lfiendof the Register viii 60 on,
to collect infornfation from all quarters,
and 1iye us in each No. Of his valuable
work, some statistics upon the subject.

ALABAMA.-In the Legislature on the
7th inst, Judge VIM. Smith of Madison,
introduced a set of Sub-treasury resolu-
tons, which were met with determined
opposition by the Whig members. A
mendments and substitutes were proposed,
and after an exciting discussion the whoss'
were ordered to be printed and made the
order of the day, yesterday. The Tus-
caloosa Monitor, after giving a sketch Of
the debate, thus concludes
This discussion created good deal
of excitement. There was every dispo-
sition manifested by the opposition, TO
meet the question with frmness. The
resolutions will no doubt, call forth an in
teresting and stormy debate. We are
willing and anxious to hear it; and we
are much in hopes that the opposition are
NOT in the minority. The Preamble and
Resolutions will never pass the Alabama
Legislature.

circular letter of Col. Polk, lin 1928. This
is the most whimsical resurrection from
the grave that we have lately met with.
It is enough to make even a LocoEoco
saint laugh. Mr.. Polk then said:

in a0hich 1t came into Pos0er, and Of the
means sOhich 1t uses to PerPettGte that
pOaOer."
The evident policy Of the present dy.
nasty, is to accumulate in the FEDERAL
HEAD, all possible pOtcer to restrict and
construe qa0dy the most salutary provisions
Of the Constitution, so as to enable them,
by dispensing a more ertensire patronage,
to perpetuate their posOer in the line Of
safe precedents. >"

DEADLY WEAPoNS.-.The frequency
with which life falls sacrifice to lawless
and unrestrained passion, in some Of our
Southern cities, is a subject that deserves
the serious attention Of the wise and the
good. Like many other evils prevalent
in the South, il is one which is generally
deplored but which has, as yet, elected
but little effort for its suppression. It is
true, laws have been enacted with power
to enforce the seyerest penalties, but they
are but little more than a dead letter on
the pages Of our statute books and unless
there are some measures adopted by which
execution can be made certain, they viii
soon cease TO be even an object of dread.
Il must be evident to every one who has
given the subiecta moments reflection,
that our security lies not in the multiplied.

IS a disposition abroad ii the community
to reject even legal restraints, and 10 en-
