that the original pear tree OF this most oeiicious
species was a seeding which sprung up on the
farm Of Lawrence Seckel. about a mile above the
confluence of the rivers Delaware and Schoylkiil
ia the vicinity of Philadelphia. II was still stand
ing and bearing a few years since, though some
wha, decayed on one side. The name of the per-

MAPLE SUGAR VERMONT.

By tho late census, Vermont stood the highest
save Louisiana, in the production of sugar, accord
ing to her population. The produce in l040 was
5II7, 264 lbs. or IL 3 lbs each person, and at
Sc per pound, worth 1856 1868 20. This year the
production has been far greater.
In the town Of Barre the amount of sugar made
this year, estimated by the inhabitants, is l2O tons
Population Of the town 2l26. The same proportion
throughout the State would give 81, 64S,l76 lbs
over I6, 344 tons-worth, at only cents per lb.,
81 GA, 90S so. The amount Of sugar made this
year is no doubt worth ono million ofdolIars at 5
cents per pound. The labor of producing sugar is
perfor ned when little else can be done by the
farmer, and hence Vermont farmer possesses a
great advantage over farmers in most other N. Il.
States The business is made of value, nearly, il
no, quite, equal to the raising of wool, and can be
doubled Not more than half the quantity is now
made that could be made from the maple. The
improvements in making sugar make it about
equal in the market TO w. |. sugar, and il can
be made profitable article for expectation.

HWOOL GROWERS! LOOK TO YOUR in
TERESTS"

This startling caption has appeared in several
Of the loco papers for week or two, and has lis
origin and force with letter written from Wash
ington, month ago, by Judge Strong OF Rutland
whom the farmers Of Rutland County sent on to
Washington TO "look 10 their interests 1t was
written before the Report of the Committee on the
Tariff appeared, and at time when Judge Strong
unprecedented they would not report ample protec'
ton upon Woo-but we infer that since then his
fears are some villa, aIuyed. These Editors, who
are now so alarmed hive never pretended to favor
more than a 90 per cent duty on wool--if even
thar The eport favors 26 per cent adj valorem,
and cents per pound upon all worth over cents,
and this exception is the same as has always exis-
ted Whether this protection is enough we can
not iudge and if it is sufficient, we presume it
will be made SO before the bill is maured. The
locos in Congress will no doubt seek TO cut off
even portion Of this, and in so doing receive the
pnudiis of the Editors who SO furIously warn The
Wool-Growers to look out for their interests
There are, we believe, several Wing farmers now
at Washington from Vermont, 10 attend to these
matters, but we have heard OF no locoiocos being
there. They seem TO be all on the other side

are in u "bad box"-they seem 10 be agreed in
nothing only 10 prevent the Wings from doing any
thing for the country, and for this they fight hard
day and night They are dividing among them
selves about the Presidency. Col Johnson has a

Calhoun party. Matty is off South schem'ng
for himself but II is rumored that he does not sue
coed 10 his mind, and that John Z. Calhoun's star
is now in the ascendant, and that he, with Lev;
Woodbury., will form the next locofoco ticket for
President aud Vice President. In the mean time,
Van Buren,, finding himself not quite so strong as
he would like, is chilling and cooing," by proxy,
with John Tyler, and only asks him to 60 for a
repeal Of the distribution law and to veto the Tar
if bill which is expected TO pass in order TO receive
his aid in his administration.

THE TWO CONSTITUTIONS OF RHODE
ISLAND

All portions, with only few exceptions, OF the
people Of r. /. d;ssa isicd with their old
Charter, under which tho Government Of that
State has been administered 10 this day. About
a year ago, convention off portion Of the people
assembled and adopted Constitution, and a por-
ton of the people then voted informally to adopt
it, where upon the officers of the Convention de-
clared it TO be the law the State This Cons,u
lion gave the right of suffrage to every white
tive born citizen Of the U s., with q residence
qualification, and to foreigners alter residence of
one year.
About the same time the Legislature called a
Convention which adopted Constitution and sent
it forth to the people for their approval, but they :,
few months ago refused, by small majority, TO
accept it "a part of The friends Of the old Charter
voted against it, with the friends of the former
Constitution. This Constitution gave The right OF
suffrage to every native born citizen, with only
residence qualification, and to foreigners after "a
residence of two years. After the defeat OF this
proposition, its friends threw themselves back up
on the old Charter, the only fundamental law
of the State. The friends of the former Conslitu
ton maintain that that Is the Constitution OF the
the Legislature maintain that it was not legally
gally adopted And here is the present contro
versv 1t seems clear, that the old Charter, bad
as it may be, is the law of tho State till another
Constitution is legally and formally matured and
| accepted by the People.
( There is no little misrepresentation about the
cont oversy, but tho above facts are, we believe
perfectly correct.
| So the controversy seems 10 be mainly, whehe.
a Constitution shall be illegally and informally
or legally and formally adopted And the proper
authority TO decide this point is the Supreme Cour
OF the United States.

Both Houses (oco)have passed resolutions which
sustain Virginia in her controversy with Gov. Sew
ard about the case Of the persons charged with
stealing slaves, but Gov. Seward, we are glad to
see, informs the Legislature that he cannot comply
with tho request forward copies of these resolu
lions to the Executive of Va, and jf they wish to
have it done They must choose some other channel
through which to communicate them. So we see,
that so soon as locofocoism gets into power in New
York. it yields submissively to the demands of the
South. The political abotionists aided IN putting
Iocofocoism into power in New York, d they now
reap the fruits of their labor. Van Buron is
off South and this action of his friends in the Leg
islature has reference TO the Presidency.
