The Economy of Agriculture.

Liberaliiy constitutes the economy Of
agriculture: and perhaps it is the solitary
human occupation, to which the adage,
1.-The more we give the more we shall
receive can be justly applied. Libe-
ralily TO the earth in manuring and cul-
ture is the fountain of its bounties 10
us. LibpraIily to domestic brutes is
the fountain OF manure. The good work
of strong team cauees product beyond
The bad work Of weak one, after deduct
ing the additional expense of feeding il,
and it saves moreover half the labor ofthe
driver, sunk in following bad one. lii
berality in warm houses produces health,
strength and comfort; preserves The lives
of multitude of domestic animals to thrive
on less food, and secures from danger all
kinds of crops. And llberali.y in the ulen-
sis of husbandry, saves labor TO a vast ex-
tent, by providing the proper tool for doing
the wnk both well and expeditiously.
Foresight is another item i'm the econo-
my of agriculture. II consists in the pre-
pairing work for all weather, and doing all
work in proper weather. and at pro-
per tines. The climate OF tho United
States makes the first easy. and the Sc
cond less difficult than in most countries.
Ruinous violations Of this important rule
are yet frequent, from temper and impa-
tience. Nothing is more common than a
person in ploughing, making hay, cutting
wheat and other works, when small de-
lay might have escaped great loss, and
the labor employed to destroy, would have
been employed to save. Crops Of all
kinds are often planted or sown at impro-
per periods or unseasonably. in relation
to the state of the weather, to their detri-
ment or destruction, from the want of an
arrangement of the work Oil a farm, cal
culated for doing every species of it pre-
cisely at the periods and in the seasons
most likely to enhance its profit.

to the extent, If necessary, of appealing
to arms to prevent the accomplishment of
any such designs. The Executive of the
United States ought to be informed as to
the aims and views of foreign Powers
with regard to Texas, and | presume
that, if there be any OF the exceptionable
character which | have Indicated, the
Executive will disclose to the coordinate
departments Of the Government, if not to
tho public, the evidence of them. From
what | have seen and heard, | believe
that Great Britain has recently formally
and sofemnly disavowed any such aims
or purposes-has declared that she is
desrous only OF the independence OF
Texas, and that she has no intention to
interfere in her domestic Institutions. II
she has made such disavownl and decla-
ration, ! presume they are in the posses
sion Of the Executive.
In the future progress Of events, II is
probable that there will be a voluntary or
lorcible separation Of the British North
American posse essions from the parent
country. am strongly Inclined TO think
I'ldt " WIN wv DNSt VI ui'
parties that, in that event, they should be
erected into q separate and independent
Republic. With the Canadian Repub-
lie on one side, that of Texas on the
other, and the United States, tho friend
of both, between them, each could ad-
vance its own happiness by such constl-
tutions, laws, and measures, as were best
adapted to its peculiar condition. They
would be natural allies, ready, by co-ope-
ration, to repel any European or foreign
attack upon either. Each would afford
a secure refuge to the prosecuted and
oppressed driven into exile by either Of
the others. They would emulate each
other in improvements, in free institutions,
and in the science of self-governmem.-
Whilst Texas has adopted our Copstitu.
ton as the model Of hers, she has, in
several important particulars, greatly i'm
proved upon it.
Although | have felt compelled, from
the nature Of the inquiries addressed to
me, 10 extend this communication to a
much greater length than | could have
wished, ! could not do Justice TO the sub
ject, and fully expose my own opinions
in shorter space, In conclusion, they
may be stated in few words TO be, that
| consider the annexation Of Texas, al
this time, without the assent Of Mexico,
as a measure compromising the national
character, involving us certainly in war
with Mexico, probably with other fore gn
