AGRICULTURAL EDUcATIoN.-l

AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION. The
New York STATE Agricultural Society at
its recent, ne eting held several sssions
upon the important SUBJECT OF agflcuituf-
al education. 1t resolved to appoint a
commi tee of eight, whose duty it should
be 10 nemoriallze the Legislature for the
establishment of agricultural schools IN
such pats of the State as may seem des-
irable.-Thi5 is a measure of great
importance. Tie best kind of protec.
ton for the agr:ouItu al intereats,is to give
them means Of acquiring the best kind OF
information respecting their business. Il
being the greatest in the country,it should
have corresponding degree of attention
bestow ell upon il, whereas il has always
been 100 much neglectej,-Phila Ledger.

sonal falsehoods: If the public sense
Is faIlen so low, that any honest man

Judged upon the report Of renegades,
or Wing faith upon the assevera'ioh Of
apostates---wby, so be it
There are certainly some whom this
sudden spectacle of subcrned denunci-
alton alarms little, and who thinks
that the public mind cannot be al-
fected by the concerted issue ofso ma
ny official lies at once. But really,
after trying with all our might, we find
ourselves utterly unable to think that
allegations, not only without but con-
trary to all proof, can make any i'm
preston, when they come from parties
directly interested, and unworthy of
belief, even if they were not swearing
on their own account.
Where is it that Mr.. Webster
word can be accounted worth any
thing We should like to find out
the place that we might hail it as the
spot where the simplicity Of the gold
en- age yet fingers. AS to MIR. Spencer
the circumstances of his coalition with
Mr.. Tyler mark, beyond question, a
political depravity the mostignominious
that the entire annals Of ministerial cor
ruption anywhere afford. We defy
the earth to parallel the audacity OF
such regeneration. Mr.. Gushing, like
Mr.. Webster, burns for a place, and
expects to get it by that most market
able commodity, his tongue. AS for
Wise and Profit, the one never had
any honor, and ambition and maligni-
ty have stripped the other Of what he
set out with.
AS Witnesses, who will believe these
men !? None but those whom party
hate had rendered credulous Of every
thing, even from those whom they ne
yer could before believe.
As traitors, have they ceased not 10
be dangerous from the instant they were
known Deserters are formidable
while with you, not when they have
got into the hostile ranks. We wish
the Locofocos all the benefit Of such
friends. The loss Of such is great
gain. AS to. MIR. Webster,Gparticular-
ly, we have the sailors superstition,
and like not to be at sea with dead
body on board. Such putrid mess
mates bring shipwreck upon one.

COTTON MARKET.

The Mobile Advertiser and Chron-
icle Of the 10th inst, states that there
has been a decline in the Cotton mar
ket Of that city, owing to the state OF
the market in Liverpool. Sales were
dull even at the present reduced pri-
ces, buyers moi being willing to pur-
chase more than sufficient to fill up
their previous orders. The rates quo
ted are, niddlings from 6 ga to z,
middling fair from Id to 2 3-4, fair

self congratulatory resolutions on ac-
count of their recent triumphs and pre-

Among the political on dts, it
is stated that Mr.. Forward is to sue
coed Gen. Cass at Paris, and Caleb
Gushing takes the place Of the former,
at the head of the Treasury Depart
ment. The New York Herald gives
the following account ofmatters in con-
temptation by the President. 1t states
that Mr.. Webster's speech at Boston
had given his ExcelIency offence, and
that the God-Iike Daniel, will conse-
quently, leave the cabinet, and proba-
bly, be sent on foreign mission, and
Mr.. Upshur will become Secretary OF
Stpte. The same authority also says
that the President and his cabinet are
determined to maintain the Indepen
dence of Texas, and that measures
have already been adopted for putting
a stop to the invasion Of that country
by Mexico, by sending the Constitu-
ton, the Marion, war steamer, and
all the West India feetto Vera Cruz.

0Mr. Spencer's letter seems to
produce no other effect than TO attract
to him expressions of unqualified con-
tempt. A more remarkable instance
Of rapid and unprincipled terglversa-
ton cannot be adduced in any poll
tician Of the age. Even those who
are most interested in giving effect to
his denunciations Of the Wing party,
are unable to restrain the expression OF
the contemptuous feelings, with which
they look upon the vaciIlating and shift
ting positions of this political Swiss.

Mr.. TYLER AND THE Loco Fo-
cos.-The Globe has at length open
ed its batteries upon Mr.. Tyler and bis
administration with such tremendous
ferceness, that poor John Jones Of the
"Madisonian," in the agony Of his dis
tress, calls it, with all the simplicity of
an idiot, most "crueL attack"
After his mean and sneaking at
tempts to insinuate himself into The So
ciety Of the Loco Focos, that His Ex-
cenency by Dietne Providence, with
all The patronage of his Office and bis
executive influence to recommend him
should he be contemptuousIy spurned
from the fold of the "Deniocracy," in
to which he hypocritically sought adj
mission, must be a most cruel and
heart rending modification to poor
John.
MIR. Iyler's apostacy may have
Frustrated the Wing party ; but in our
misfortunes it is no small consolation
that al! his own selfish purposes have
failed in their object, and resulted in
his disgrace; and now, almost solitary
and alone, without party to sustain
.
him even during the unexpired term OF
his admins sration, he is at once an
object Of loathing and disgust TO those
whom he basely betrayed, and Of ridi-
cule and contempt to them whom he
has vainIy endeavored TO propitiate.
"He has sown the wind and reaped
the whirlwind."
Arnold, after he had become a trail
tor to his country and fought bravely
for the British interest, retired to Eng
land aud dragged out the rest of his
life, despised and insulted by the very
persons who had induced his treach-
cry.

Ichasls Afsary
PRorEor1oN AND AMI. PRoTEc-
TIoN We recommend The following
remarks, from the Baltimore American
10 the attention Of our readers. 1t is
evident that The Locofocos are deter
mined to make up the issue ofs'protec-
ton and anti-protection.'' With Cal
houn as their candidate, we cannot see
how they can avoid making that issue
and yet certainly hardly any issue
could be more fatal TO their hopes
Why, the very tariff against WHICH
they raise tue cry of "repeaP received
a number Of Locofoco votes, and not
few Locofocos have boasted that IT
owes It's existence TO those votes. The
Wings ask for nothing but revenue
tariff, with such discrimination as may
afford encouragement TO American la
Dor. Locofoco capital and Locofoco
labor are uorfess interested in this pol
icy than Wing capital and Wing labor;
and whenever issue of protection and
anti-protection' is fairly made, the la
Dor and capital of the Northern, Mid
die, and Western States, will be found
on the side of protection !:
1.-THE TARIFF.--The objection
raised by the opponents of the tariff is
that rates of duties are too high. Let
it not be expected that the foes Of the
protective policy will approve of any
law which the friends Of protection
may pass objections will be raised
whether welI-lounded or NOT. We
may say, however, in reply to the rep
reservations now made respecting the
high rates of the present tariff, that il
would be fairer if the directors would
wait until the practical working OF the
system shall disclose its own effects.
"The Richmond Enquirer, of the
9th ult., has the following
"'Let the Baltimore American rail
and demonstrate as loudly and fire.
quently as it may, we still repeat that
repeal is the word, and that we can
never be satisfied, until this bill OF
denominations be expunged from the
statute books, or completely changed
in its enactments. The same impress
sion is not only spreading .over the
South, but, we understand, is making
its way in the North-even among the
liberal Wings. The bill prohibits the
importation of so many goods by its
minimum principle and its high duties
that the impression in New York now
is it will scarcely bring more TO the
Treasury than tlOetre millions of dol
lars, instead oftwenty-6ve millions, the
sum estimated to be wanting to the
Treasury.
"Now, upon. comparison OF the
present tariff with that Of 1882, 1t VIII
be found that upon many articles the
duties now ale less than they were ten
years ago and upon no important artl-
cIes are the duties much greater now
than they we're then. Certainly in no
case is the increase SO great as TO war

heard from the opponents OF the meas

commenting in the last number Of his
paper, upon some remarks we had pre-
viously made, drawing his attention TO
Mr.. CIay's late speech at Richmond,
Indiana, says, that "the Editor Jour
selves misrepresenls US in the very
GrsA----@----------s, ,s~g---A---
in our editorial career, charged MIR.
Clay with being an abolitionist."
It's fortunate for the cause Of truth,
that those, who have least respect for
this virtue, are generally remarkable
for the effectiveness Of their memories.
This seems to be the case ofthe vene-
rable Editor Of the Democrat. We
have never been an attentive reader Of
his paper, but when we wrote the para
graph which he pronounces false, We
were firmly under the impression that
he had frequently made this charge
against Mr.. Clay, and upon referring 10
some Of the old numbers Of the Demo
crat, we had no difficulty in finding
passages sustaining our assertion. We
will merely cite one, in the Demo rat
of August the 1Itb, 1888, which is
verbatim as follows:
GA States right man preferring Fl.
Clay-the leader of the federal party,
the champion Of the Bank, of the Ia
riff, and Internal improvements, and
the secret ally Of the Abolitionists, [for
such he Is, all his disclaimers to the
contrary Notwithstanding
We might readily refer to other pas
sages, in the Editorials of the veraci-
Gus conductor Of the "CoIumbus De-
mocrat," which would equally convict
him of falsehood in denying that he had
ever used the charge of abolilionism
against Mr.. Clay. But we really do
not think it a matter Of much more
importance, as far as it relates TO our
purposes, to convict the old gentleman
Of Jalsehood, (the application Of which
term he seems to COURT than for US TO
publish to the world that he has laid
aside his cid green great coat, and
donned pepper and salt grey surtout
In the conclusion of his remarks up
on US, he proposes that if we Will pub
fish Mr.. Calhoun's speech on the tar
iff or Mr.. Buchanan's on the veto, he
will publish MIR, Clay's anli-aboli,ion
speech. He says this is fair offer
and he pauses for reply. The old
mouser must have thought that this
would be a poser, but we have not the
slightest difficulty in replying. We
have never protested to concur with
Mr.. Calhoun on the tariff, and are en-
'tirely opposed 10 Mr.. Buchanan IS views
on The veto and it therefore is not to be
expected that we should circulate their
doctrines. But on the other hand, IS
there solitary sentiment ii Mr.. Clay's
anti abolition speech, from which the
editor Of the Democrat VIII acknowl-|
edge tina he disssnts !

"As to the assertion that the PFeSeot
