IMPROVEMENT IN THE QUALITY OF

produce corresponding action, upon the
Importance Of improving the various
kinds Of seed. Wheat, being so impor
tant staple, much pains should be used
in bringing the seed as near to perfection
as possib.. Select some Of the largest
and plumpest heads before ,hrashing,
say enough to make q half a bushel or
more, and SOW it by itself, and see il ii

which has not been selected. The fol-
lowing we find in the Albany Cultivator
Col. LeCou,eur, the most skillu grow.
er and improyer OF wheat in Fl. gland, in
some tables lately published in one Of the
English periodicals, has given the results
OF some OF his long continued expert
ments in improving whea, by crossings
aud selections. By continuing to Sc
lect and propagate only those varieties
that gave the most aud best -four with the
least bran, he now obtains over 2,4OO
pounds Of superfine -four TO the acre, and
so thin is the skin Of his wheat, that from
an acre OF SO bushels, only SAG lbs. Of
bran, middIings, and shorts were given.
One hundred lbs OF this flour, as repeat

will make from to 10 per cent more

Political.

TARlrFs.-Extract from speech in
Congress Of the Hon. ]. T. Mason, Of
Maryland:
"The difference between revenue and
a protective tariff is, that by the one all
the duties collected go into the treasury;
by the other, a part--if not directly, in
effect-goes TO the producer or manu-
facturer Of the article protected, hence
one part Of the people are taxed for the
benefit ofanother. This is the operation.
Suppose those engaged in agriculture
shall require annually 10000 yards Of
cloth, and that the Northern Manufac-
lures could furnish loo, 200 yards Of the
amount at so cents yard, and that Eng
land could furnish the whole amount at
26 cents yard: the result would be that
we would get our whole supply from a.
broad. TO prevent this, the Government
lays duty Of 60 cents upon each yard Of
cloth brought from England; which, when
added to the original price, would bring
it up to the American price,-5O cents.
The advance, then, in the price Of these
100000 yards, by the tariff, would be
$4,000; while only $25,0oo Of chat sum
would 20 into the treasury-being the ad
vance upon the price ofthe 100000 yards
imported But suppose the government,
having an eye only on the revenue, were
to lay duty Of only twenty cent, upon
each yard, the price then, Of the foreign
article, would be forty FIVE cents--being
five cents less than the American article.
The consequence would be that our whole
supply would still come from abroad.
How much revenue, then, would this
article afford Why, the sum Of $4,000;
and yet the price would be five cents less
than it would be under the higher rate
of duty. and still yield almos, double the
amount Of revenue; but there would be
no protection.
Mr. CR1rEDNDEN Of Kentucky, in phil
lipic against the President fol veroing the
little tariff bill, thus speaks Of the veto
power:
sit really reminds one Of some lutte
midshipman who has just received his
epaulet aud his little sword, and delights
in perpetually drawing forth that little
sword, and playing the soldier. Sir,
could endure ii better if it we're in Other
hands. lit were Julius C@sar-a he
no who had extended his conquests over
the worldwide presumed thus to tram
pie upon our rights; or, even if he were
our own overbearing strong-minded An
drew Jackson. there would be some dig
nifty TO redeem the insolence. There
might be some apology. some excuse
We would at least, fall like men before
something formidable. But to be made
to crawl beneath the legs OF this little co
lossos, and forced, from day to day
to look up for his will-asking. OF
every question. his weak pleasure, ant
dreading his vetoes;--this, confess, is
humiliation which can hardly find II
my heart the patience to endure"
The above ::'realIy reminds one'' Of the
lament Of a certain barn yard fowl. which
on receiving his death blow from the kicl
Of jackass, exclaimed:
Sat death don't repne,
But It's double death from heels like thine

We ask what Senator, not blinded by
his devotion to Mr.. Clay, would have vo-
ted for the rejection Of Mr.. Clinton at
Buffalo? Ii was an insult to the memory
Of the great De Witt Clinton, thus pub
