The Potato Crop.

There is no crop of vegetables Of 50 much val
lie and importance TO all classes, as the potato.
1t is bread and meat, and drink and sustenance
to the needy; with potatoes it is impossible to
%starve, and they are the delight of the rich rs
we'll as the poor-there is no aristocracy about
a potato-Thc man of wealth has them served
up in various shapes and forms at his table--the
boiled meaiy potato, the fried, the mashed,
the scollopcd and the stewcd, while the poor
thrust them peel and all under the burning EN-
bers, and with 4 little salt make a meal upon
them fit for an emperor. How painful therefore
il is to learn that whole crops of this valuable es-
cnlent have been destroyed by the rot. Far
lners, scientific cullivators and chemists shoulc
employ themselves assiduously in discovering
the cause. Is it in the soil, in the manure, in
The CULTIVATION, in the seed, or in the planting
We hope nothing will be left undono to ascer.
lam The cause and apply the remedy. A cores
pondent of a Philadelphia paper says, the potato
crop in that State is ruined. The Shakers, who
engaged j to deliver fifteen thousand bushels there
have given notice of inability to furnish a single
.bushel, and will hardly have enough for THEN
community, offering to the "world's people" the
whole crop if they would dig it. The only sec
ton from which little complaint is heard is
Maine, but even there, the crop has not ESCAPED

Presidential election, is certainly a subject of
greater Importance to them as a political party,
than any contest in which they have ever been
engaged with the Federal party, as it will deter

Mr.. John Wilson, in an address to some young
ladies' assembled near Baltimore at a My ceIe
%bration, thus speaks of the origin of two Of oul
popular songs;
Hail Columbia stands at the head of our pa.
triotic songs, and is somewhat remarkable in It's
origin. About fifty years ago, Mr.. Fox, a young
vocalist Of fuc talents in the line Of his protes.
sion, was DESTROYS TO bring out something new
on his benefit night, being then performing il
Philadelphia. He applied, accordingly, to the
late Judge Hopkinson, who was known to be q
votary of the MUSES., to write him a song for the
occasion; but the judges numerous engagements
prevented him from entering on the task, until
the very morning Of the benefit,
When poor Fox called, and found the mattol
thus, he was almost distracted. Mrs. Hopkinsor
plying his situation, took her seat at the piano
and, began beckoning to her husband, no took
Iup his pen, struck off the first verse, which bis
lady played to its present air. Fox, almost fran.
tic with joy, ran for Mr.. Roingle, tho composer
who set II to music. The song was finished of
hand-and sung from the manuscript the same
night with rapturous applause. Fox made a for.
tune by it--and nothing was heard that whole
season but Hail Columbia.
You all know the history of the "Star Span.
gled Banner;" and without knowing it, it is i'm
possible to sing il with suitable feeling.
The late lamentcd Francis s. Key, Esq, al
so an eminent lawyer and patriot, was sent to the
British Admiral with a flag of truce, and was de
lained on board his ships during the lombard
men of Fort McIIenry. The happy manner ii
which he has embodied the feeling of that awfu
night, has been considered but little short of in
spiration-and the Star Spangled BcnaCr shall
continue TO be sung, and, side by side with Hal
Columbia, will go down to the latest posterity
as amongst the 'happiest e%fiusions of the human
mind.

Ny Dear Blair:

favor of the 18th instant. A letter from YOU is
always refreshing, and | wish that | could entitle
myself TO expect them more frequently, by more
punctuallty and diligence on my part, in our cor
respondence. My last letter informed you of
the JUNCTION that was increasingly applied to me
by all the return candidates for the Presidency
or rather their friends. Since then, | have a.
vowed my intention to support Mr.. Adams under
actual circumstances, and thereupon the oil has
been instantly transformed into vinegar. The
friends of--, (and the devil knows who
else; for ! think if he does not preside in their
councils, he mus, be quite congersant with
them0 have turned upon me, and with the most
amiable unanimity agree to vituperate me-. lam

Gen. Jackson's election, to leave open the Wes-.

To these are added a thousand other of the most
gentle, and kind, and agreeable epithets and
things in the world.

son men, read them! Honest men, Of all par-
ties, read them! Previous to the writing of these
letters, Mr.. Clay belonged 10 the Democratic
party; but by one Of the most corrupt Bargains
ever heard Of, he consented that his influence
should be exerted to make John Q. Adams
President, provided himself should be appointed
Secretary Of State, under the new regime, and
thereby placed himself in ''the line of safe pre-
cedents" for the Presidency. Ever since the
consummation of that infamous bargain, Henry
Clay has been a bitter and u%nrelenting Federal
list, and d standing candidate Of that party for
the Presidency. He has been hrice repndiated,
rejected and condemned by the people; but his
ambition appears still unsays6ed. He is again
doomed TO defeat-the American people will
