Berkshire Hoes.-We called yesterday
at the Warehouse Of Messrs. Adams 4;
Hopkins. To see recent Importation oI
Mr.. John Bonner's, of four Berkshire hogs,
two Of them well grown, and two pigs,
which for beauty Of symmetry aud evil
dcncc Of purity Of blood, are unsurpassed
by any Of this particular breed we recol-
lecl to have seen. We observe. with
much pleasure. the spirit among our
planters, TO improve their stock Of hogs,
and in truth generally 10 be less depen-
deui upon other sections of the country
for their supplies Of stock. bread stuffs, &c.
The accomplishment Of such q laudablc
object, is the only means that can render
US an independent people. and relieve the
State from those fluctuations which have
always operated as an incubus to relard
the prosperity 10 The people. We sincere
ly hope The excellent example Of Mr..
Bonner may be generally adopted, not
only in the improvement, OF the stock Of
hogs in the State, hu, that il may extend
TO every branch Of agricultural industry.

PRESIDENTS MEssAGE.-We publish this
morning the message of the President recon-
nendng an increase of the tariff, and repeal of
the distribution law. This is the most important
document of the session, and recommending as
it does, therepeal Of an act which is regarded by
the wings as the most vital measure ofwhig poll
cy and almost the only fruit Of the revolution
which put them into power, twill be read with in
terest by all. 1t is well known that the national
treasury is in destitute condition, and that the
government is in debt fourteen millions without
any resources to look to from the present reve-
nue. system to meetits present liabilities. Then
let the distribution law be repealed; it is foolish
for the government to attempt to grant annuities
to others, when it has to resort to borrowing to
sustain ITSELF There is no doubt but it will be
necessary to increase the tariG-but this should
be done without recognizing the principle of pro-
tectng particular interests at the expense of all
others, and without raising more revenue than
is necessary for an economical administration of
the government
