Extrac; OF letter from gentleman in Springfield Mass
TO of his friends in this city;
l +" In previous letters have neglected TO allude
to Mr. Webster position | now will say that
thought the articles under that head erceedingly
reA-.imed and as clear and able vindica,ion as
Mr.. Webster or any other man in similar circum-
stances could desire. [ should be glad to know
the authors name read the article in The
Tribune of the 9Th inst. and was pleased with its
tone and spirit. The Tribune is the only genuine
Wing newspaper that care to read.
As TO your New-York Election, was not disap-
pointed in its result Causes, which | think are
obvious, have been in operation tending to the
suit actually realized, and in view of which | was
led to expect no other. Opinions, tn the main,
are right all over the country. and have been for
years. The difficulty has been, and is, to get an
expression of these opinions. Ibeleve that large
part Of those who stay awny from the polls
conservative in their opinions who think for
themselves, and VINO cannst, from the constitution
Of their minds, adopt ultra measures and opinions,
be they of Wing or Tory origin. When there is
unity, consistency aud moderation among Ike
tive Wings, or what is called the Wing party, so
tina, men Of moderation sympathisc with them
in their opinions and approve of their measures
and at the same time respect themselves then
think there will be reason 10 expect streagM and
stability in the Wig vote, and Uniform, steady
adherence TO- and prevalence of, true democratic
principles and men. As things now are, men
make business OF potics-a game; they
set themselves up as leaders and as candidates for
high places, with their own personal aggrandize-
ment the primary, and the 1csltare OF the
country the secondary object. Every thing is
done and sacrificed for party. Political honesty
is consequently scarce and passion and individual
interest have the ascendency over reason and the
general good
We do not concur in all the above. Ed. IT..
The RAISING OF HEMp.-The Peoria (lll.) Re
gstcr of the 12th, contains an interesting article
with reference to the culture of Hemp. Seine OF the
statements will probably surprise agrculturalists
not familiar with the subject, but the Register says
the facts advanced are derived from most authen
tic and reliable source, having been communicated
by Dr. Barrett of Springfield, in that State who |
has been for long while engaged in the cultiva-
ton of this article. The cost of cultyating ten
acres of Hemp is estimated at Sl62 so. The ex-
ponse of each step of the process given, and the
whole is presented in detail. Itis stated that 500
lbs to the acre is fair average yield, 1900 having
frequently been raised in Kentucky where it is a
staple commodity. This would give 5000 lbs TO
the ten acres, which would bring in market a, S. |!
per 100 lbs (thc price this year in th. City is from
50 so TO IL IS; in Cincinnati from S9,to II, and
in ST. Louis from 81 to 81 $4Ooi thus giving
clear profit on ten acres of land of S237 so.
An estimate is then made of the cost of raising
Wheat, which is estimated at $50 so for ten acres.
Twenty bushels is taken average yield per
acre; so that ten acres, so cents bushel, (he
price at Peoria. the income would be 500, giving
q net profit of $40 80 on the ten acres. Il there
be any foundation for these estimates the culture o.
Hemp must soon attract more attention among
farmers than it has hitherto received.
Ii will be recollectcd too that at the late Sessions
of Congress an act was passed highly favorable 10
the Hemp interest. Unde.lhis act purchases of
homegrown Hemp will be made for the Navy for
years, by the end of which time the business will
sustain itself and defy competition from abroad
At present between FIVE and six millions of dollars
are paid annually by this country for foreign Hemp
and the demand is of course to increase with the
increasing wealth, commerce and power of thu
