TEXAS AND NO TARIFF, OR THE Alternative
We find in The Matisonjan letter, copied ftom the
Nashville Union, written by Gen. JAMES HAMILTON
10 JeJ.Br BrSouTHALL, Esq before the Election, from
which we make a few extracts, to show what the
South means by electing Mr.. Polk, and whom and
what the People of Pennsylvania have beer aiding.
Gsn. Hamilton says:
" vain conceal the fact TINT he tHESRy CLAY1 has
SoSs the highest Interests Of the whole Union that he

formed, and cannot now exist for u single hour.

as well as the enlargement Of Slavery:

sequently, more Slave representation in Congress lis

But Gen. Hamilton points TO sort Of pacific
remedy for the South, in case Texas should not be
admitted. Perhaps the East may think of the
proposition in case Texas should be admitted:
If this fails she will appeal to her Confederaes, and
life upon it. only cur the last resort TO her sovereignty

WnEAr CUlruRE-The past season has been
marked by some important developments in the
culture Of wheat.
DR.. NOBLE, Of Delaware, has been reclaiming
worn>out farm for several years by the use OF
street manure obtained from Philadelphia, and
particularly with the view,of growing this great
staple. Having brought the soil TO a pretty fair
state Of fertility, he has tried the relative advan-
tages Of planting wheat in drills, nine inches
apart, ,and sowing it broad cast in the usual way.
The soil and treatment in other respects were
precisely alike. The result was "a bushels on
the sown land and 40 in the drilled. These ex-
