We, therefore,. most respectfully advise you to rouse up and act with spirit. Had you not better form Democratic Associa- tions, as set-oh against their Clay clubs Had you not better form them upon the principle of uniting against the common ene- my, and of sinking every debatable ques- ton touching the candidates, which is cal- culated to distract and divide you? No member ought to touch this forbidden ground /; and every member should promptly protest against every other, who may violate the rule.
 We have the victory in our hands, if we are not tempted by our passions to throw 1t away. ''The whigs cannot beat us-but we may beat ourselves.n And if we should throw away the glorious victory which awaits us, wo unto the author of tbe mis- chief! Posterity will say of us with as much scom as truth: s'These Republicans were unworthy ofvictory, and were not worthy of confidence, because by their own follles they have sacrificed the institutions of their coun- try to q MONEY KING"

Ian-bark and Sdar-dust, as .Manmrc- Large masses of refuse tan and saw-dust are frequently accumulated, and thrown away as worthless. This should never be done, as they may be made of much use to the farm er They are good bedding for stock, and being also excellent non-conductors of heat, when dry, they are useful to place between the ceilings of the ice-house, cellars, or other apartments, where 1t is desirable to preserve uniformity of temperature. But they are especially valuable as contributing to increase the stock of manure, when used in the place of straw or other vegetable matter, to absorb the droppings from animals. They take up the best parts of the manure, and retain them till demanded for the growth of plants.
 They possess, moreover, an intrinsic va lue, in the large amount of potash they con- tam; especially the tan, the bark from which 1t IS made containing much greater propor- ton of this valuable material than wood If no other mode of using them be presented, they may be burnt, and the ashes will con- tribute to the nourishing of the land where they are applied. They should never be spread on land without preparing as above, as they have tendency to sour the land, and promote the growth of sorrel and other nox- ious weeds.

HOW THE WHIG TARIFF WORKS.

Notwithstanding the modification of the English tariff laws, the low price of Ameri- can produce in this country, and the rising prices in England, the exports from New York of the principal articles of agriculture, flour, lard, pork, wheat, &c., have fallen off, considerably below those of last year. The New Y York Herald in summing up the req son of this, says:
 Notwithstanding the enormous supply of four, being thirty-fve per cent greater than ever before, and the exceeding low rates at which 1t is held, less has been exported this year than last. The same applies to corn, pork, oil, lard, &c. The reason of this is to be found in the fact, that under the present tariff little else than specie can be received for exports. During the last year some $20,000,000 of the precious metals have been extracted from Europe, and Sl2,- 100000 of the amount is lying utterly use less in the vaults of the New Y fork banks. The people of England having the proceeds of their industry, on hand, and in want of American produce, cannot procure the latter because the United Statas tariff forblds the introduction of their goods into this country, consequently they can buy nothing of the United States without specie, they therefore buy as little as possible. When they want agricultural produce, they seek 1t where they can obtain it in payment of their own goods. When every other door is closed to their wants, they come to the United States with specie to make purchases, and not before Hence, if our farmers pile their produce up- on the Atlantic border until 1t IS as high as the Alleghany mountains, Europe will not buy Ii unless she can get 1t on favorable terms. If her merchandise is freely admitted in exchange, the feeding of 26,000,000 souls who inhabt the British isles, will be given to our western farmers. The operation of our present law. is to substitute for this vast and actual market, the supposition that, if no fo- reign manufactures are imported, the 250, ,000 persons engaged in that business will eat more than the whole British population In Europe 1t IS calculated that one agriculturist feeds fourpersons in other employments. In this country there are three agriculturists to one of other employments, and the advo- cates of protection pretend to enrich the coun- try, by confning the market of the three far mers to the wants of one person. The far mers cannot be so blind as not to perceive that if all their produce is retained at home for the supply of the manufactures here, that the price of produce must be very low, and manufactures very high; that one days work of the manufacturer will produce sufficient tc purchase the results of four days work o the farmer. Therefore, the former mus grow enormously rich, and the latter wretch edly poor, as is now the case in England where the master manufacturers and nobil- ity are richer than those of any other nation on the earth, while the mass of the people is far poorer"

ParSnips as food for Pigs-Whilst stay ing in the isle of Guernsey for couple of months, in the summer of l841, says cor respondent of the London Farmers Chroni- cle, was much pleased with the peculiarly fine flavor of the pork, being sweet, juicy, firm and beautifully white, at a season of the year when that unclean animal is thought not to be in the highest perfection. This superiority in flavor and appearance is at tributed to the plentiful supply of raw pars- nips with which the animal is fed In con- frmation of an universally admitted fact, I beg to send you the following extract from lately published history of the island and it's products'-..Hogs prefer raw parsnips to all other roots, and make excellent pork
 when fed upon them; but the boiling of the root renders the bacon habby. By this food the animal can be fatted in six weeks: Too much can hardly be said in praise of the beef and pork iatted on parsnips. At this time July the l7th, l940,) there is in the Guern- sey market, porker, 9 months old, weigh ing 750 lbs, English, which has never eaten any thing but raw parsnips and sour milk; finer meat never was seen. In the use of parsnips, one caution is absolutely necessary they are never to be washed but to be given as they are taken up from the ground Used ln that way, they are found not to surfet the hogs and cattle, and to fatten them better and quicker than they otherwise would. If wash ed, they are apt to satiate, and the farmers say, will never thoroughly fatten them. An OK will eat l20 lbs. per day, exclusive of hay"

 Sheep Raising-Repeated enquiries have been made, through several of the agricultu- ral papers, for information upon the best sec tien of this country adapted to the purposes of sheep raising A late tour which we made from Natchez to Cincinnati, overland. with a view to informing ourselves of the aoricultu- ral resources and improvements through the interior, has satisfied our mind that there is no region in the United States superior to the Cumberland mountains, in the southeast ern part of Tennessee, and the neighborhood of the Sequachee valley, for this purpose- The mountain here is about two thousand feet high-a splendid table land, thirty-ive miles across. A considerable portion of this land Is of very excellent quality, and equal to any necessary farming purposes; and to use the language of those residing there, :. there is not such place for garden truck in the "ollu' IL 10 NGll NdtClCIe uilt lS liltly 1O- cated for market, being within a few miles of the Tennessee river, with steam navigation to New Orleans on the one side, and rail- road, nearly completed, to Charleston, South Carolina, on the other. The climate is un- surpassed on the globe, being the most tenn perate of any part of America; and we have no hesitation in saying, that the cultivated grasses would afford pasturage all the year round, to any number of sheep, without the necessity of laying up one ounce of winter provision for their use-not that we should advise this practice, but we merely state the fact.
 We have thrown these nasty remarks to- gether, for the purpose of answering the ma ny queries that have been and are being put on this subject; and advise those who are engaged in, or about to be engaged in, sheep raising, to examine this region of country, which, in our estimation, is better suited to this purpose than any we have travelled over.

 The recent elections show that the well
 being of the Democratic party depends upon
 unity of purpose and action in its members.
 Instead of united purpose to defeat the elec-
 ton of Henry Clay to the Presidency, our friends are now engaged in a controversy
 about who ought and who shall be the no-
 mlnee of the Democratic National Conven-
 tlon In order to perpetuate the principles
 upon which the government should be admi-
 nlstered, we have ever acknowledged the ne-
 cesslty of a well organized Democratic par
 ty. That the only mode by which candi-
 dates to represent us in the government are
 to be selected, is bya Convention composed
 of delegates coming immediately from the people. To that Convention every member ol the party who will pledge himself to carry out its established principles, and will abide the determination of the Convention. has right to submit his pretensions ;- and all candidates before the people in any other way will be looked upon and treated by LIS as political enemies. To our prnei- pies only will we nail our flag. We have too much respect for the intelligence and wisdom of the members who shall compose the next Democratic National Convention, to think for moment they would select any man who would misrepresent those princi-I pies. We beg our friends, therefore, through out the Union, to unite with us ill striving to maintain those principles, by defeating the election of Henry Clay. We condemn the spirit which seems now to move some of the i Democratic journals in denouncing either Cass, Van Buren, Tyler, Calhoun, Buchanan, Johnson, or any body else who may be talk ed of as the nominee of the Conyention.-l Whatever may be the result of the Conven- ton, we are sure justice will be done.
