Louisiana Sagar-Locgfoco Disinterestsdness.
The Locofocos in Louisiana are twittcd pretty
severely by the Wings for their Inconsistency in
protesting Free Trade principles, when their sGc-
cess must necessarily involve the repeal of tho
sixty per cent duty on Sugar, which they profess
to be in favor Of, and which is so Indispensable to
the interests of Louisiana. They make lame
attempt to get over il, however, by saying that
"the Democratic party on this important question
"of the Sugar interest, with the single excep-
"uon of MIR. Calhoun, profess but the one and
"the same doctrine, which is exactly between the
"two extremes that attributed to us by tho
swing press. Neither Gen. Jackson nor Mar
"ion of the minimum duty which sustains the
"culture of Sugar in Louisiana-and as to Mr..
"Calhoun, it is questionable if he ought to be
''ranked as belonging to the Democratic party"
This ia certainly despa,ching the question in
very summary way. But why is it that louisa.
ma Sugar should stand upon better footing than
Kentucky Hemp, Virginia Iron, Salt, &c., or any
other of the staple products and great interests of
the country2 That is question which they
would not find it so easy TO answer. But their
selt-complaisance, we suppose, would hardly per-
nit them to entertain ii; though they may rest as
| sured that others will.
The GOODNESS with which they attempt to throw
MIR. Calhoun overheard is another remarkable fea-
ture in their course, and must be very conclusive
evidence to him, and his friends, of their disiater.

FARMERS CLUBS.

We learn from tho Richmond Compiler that a
movement, has been made among portion Of tho
Farmers in the neghborhood of that city, which, il
persovered in, and properly conducted. cannot fail
to be productive of great good. 1, is the organza-
ton OF what is called Farmers, or Whole and
Corner Clubs, for the purpose of improving tho
agriculture, and otherwise advancing the interests
of the members. They are to meet periodically
at the house Of one Of their brother members,
taking them in rotation. While there, they are to
ride over his farm, examine his mode of cultiva-
ton, criticize it freely, and compare it with other
modes, with their results, and SO on, and discuss
freely and literally all matters that concern tho
farmers interests. 1t is the intention to enlist in
the scheme the smallest class of farmers, and to
take away any supposed difficulty in the matter it
is designed to limit the number of each Club to
few, so that it will DO strictly neighborhood af-
fair, and TO have understanding that the enter
tainment given by each on Club days shall be Of
a very plain and simple character, and as much as
possible confined to the productions Of the farm.
| We were informed by one Of our farmers, few
days ago, who had seen the suggestion, that no
was determined to get up Club in his neighbour
hood-and it seems to us that there is much to
recommend them. The sociabili.y and good feel
ing they would promote, would be hardly less va
liable than their influences in advancing the agri-
cultural interests of the country.
