The object, however, is not yet consnnmated.- And recommend to hs General Assembly 10 guard against any inference Which their silence at this time nght seem to justify, that measure 50 untounded m principle, dangerous p'scedsnt and destrsc tiUe its tendenCy to the peace and prosperity o the country, md the objects of UsiOn, he sanction of the people of Connecticm.
 We take the following sensible article from old number of the Alabama State Ineligeucer. It was copled very generally by the Southern Press some eIght or ten years ago but il has lost of it's in terest it's applicability the modes of cultivation among our Planters. We think we recognise in it the pen of one Of most intelligent and practical cultivators,-one who has done more by precept and example to advance the interests of agricultural and horticultural industry than any man ih the State.
 If to produce the greatest quantity possible of any article articles, from given quantity ot land, and in the process of production to increase the fertility of the soil great degree, is the acme of agricu tural pursults il may be fairly advanced that 10 cu- tivate large surface of land, and by the mode of cultivation, for small production, and with great destruction of the productive properties o the soil. must be the acme of absurd.tv.
 If there is any available process. that by the addi iiona expense of one half of the additional produc- ton, will add hundred per cent 10 the product of labor bestowed on land. the process ought to be adopted for interests sake; but if the one fourth left is added to the increase of the productive quality given 10 the land, il then claims from every rational being who cuvates the soil. an immediate attention. 1t is astonishing that the land wearing out so rapidly as we often t, does not sartle every cultiyat0r who is but one degree removed from an idiot. If the people of the northern part of the United States, to go as honestly to work Tn the destruction ot ther land, in their mode of cultivation as we do, we should bear melancholy news of their situation, in lieu of that agrcultu al prosperity which their land land nnn raannr
 When fa mer in that section of the Union sits down tract of land previously woln out by some squater, (for the breed is not worn out there nor will it as long they hear of Texas,) with not foot to "clear'' he feels great uneasness He can tell by his mode of proceeding almost precisely the increase of crops he will get, and the time II will re- quirs get hs land "ino heart," for the production of the seventy eighty bushels oi to the acre. and although he is in the midst of thick settled country and of the available means ot fertili zing his Iand which Souherners have around us, he is easy, wh should think of no other resource than Arab like to move to "new range" But the Northern farmer who cannot worship cotton, for il is not found amongst his household Gods, fl he is ju- dicous cultvaIor, he goes with all his energies into provision crops-to he production of every article this way his situation will admit him to expect iionay remuneration for his labor, for in this he secureshe thing called nanure of the best kind, and in securing that, he finds the key to agricultural success. This fact allows hIm to "settle" and he nnd5 ne IS not conpeHed to run away rom ms hnd every len years, which as been running away during thalperiod from him he giving it the starr.
 But if there is any process of cultivation, in the pursuit of winch the improvement o the soil will pay for the extra labor, and give to the laboring man the whole extra crop. must repeat that there must be diotsm in not ayailIng ourselves of H.
 Now, in cul,ivatng land we know that there is a positive expenditure of capital, animals and gear. carriages, provisions and labor. Ii one half ofmos of those be made to produce the same result that the whole usually produce. there is then posi- tive saving of capital, wear tear provisions and la bor, of one half.
 For instance, say twenty five is made to produce the same amount that fifty usually does, and that and one horse is employed Tn the culti vaiion; the capital expended on one man and one horse, set of gears. seed for twenty five acres, wing of the productions cleaning clearng, fencing and keeping up the enclosure. &c. &c. is actually saved
 And if the planters resources enable hlm to work the fifty acres, il oug ht to be, and to obtam the production for his labor thai he ought to obtain, the conclusion is doubly conclusive in favor of the better more productive system. For in spite ofignorance intentional or real, il remains truth strong as holy writ. that twenty five acres of manured enriched land are as easily tended the number of a. of a cap,R nortuum or impoverished soil
 That a ,udicious maturing system would bring a bout the result conended for, is certain as that there are Northern and Southern section of the Union
 Ifthose views are correct, then il follows that to insure a successful agricultural pursuit, manure is almost every thing, and the mode of making it, to the greatest advantage, is to the planter of incalcu liable importance In the whole circle of common sense no fact is better established than that il you will take an of land that i'll produce ten bush els of the in it's natural state, and ma nure it, the product will readily become ihrty.-l Yet if you will look at il the quantity of "stuh and actual manure wasting around ihe plantations, and especially in the lanes almost every plantation in the country, you would be obliged to conclude that idiots quite common, that this fact is not be- lieyed, or that it was not known.
 But the fact still remains that land can be made to yield three, nay four times the quantity of many agri cultural productions, by judicous application of manure, combining the materials judciously tha, compose it From land that would not give more than ten bushels of corn per acre, have grown fifty with the aid of cotton seed alone.
