GEoLoGY.-We concur in opinion with the
"Relormer" that State Gcologist oughtto be
appointed The source of agricultural wealth
IN this State, can never be properly developed
until the qualities Of our various soils are as
certained and explained to those persons from
whom all our social, political, and national
wealth isderivad, The learned Geoloaits, by
geological surveys, asccrlains the hidden re-
sources OF the earth, reduces them to the con-
troll of the husJandman, by which worn out
fields, that were before considered worthless,
are reclaimed, and crops of rich production
greet the renewed energy of hardy farmers,
and amply compensate them for the slight tax
necessary to delray the e2ponco of geological
research.
Mississippi isdostinol to be one of the wealth.
lest States of this Union, unless she is crippled
by the unwise policy of her citizens. The
jaac pas of her Legislature upon the subjects
of Banking and chartered monopolcs, threw
back her agricultural developments twenty
years. Her condition was like the boatod to.
pers-frst an artificial plampncss and apparent
healthiulncss-neXt a protruberancc of feature,
extraordinarily excited, and then the pale,
bltoaed, dropscal rotundity Of the last stages Of
human suffering, from an ilspent dissipated
life. Tapping, was the hazardous but only
remedy. The operation has proved successful,
and she is again sound and healthy. lin fu-
ture she lsoks to the soil as the only true source
Of her health and prosperity, she will, ere long,
occupy proud position among her sisters.
But if wild schemes and Artificial resources arc
permitted TO chamctarize her councils, long.
very long, will it be before she attains that
stand on which her natural capabilities should
place her. We repeat, then, let US have a
learned Gaoogizi, one that understands his bu-
sincss and our word for il, many saluiary re- |
suits will follow bis examinations.

The TQVII.

Mercury from every quarter brings intelil-
gence of the deep interest which pervades the
country upon the subject of the tariff Who has
not noticed the gradual encroachmcnt of proiec-
ton upon the rights ofagricultnral labor? Pub
lie news has proclaimed it aloud--the South
has heard it with alarm. The Cabling pro-
tectionists OF the North mock the prosperity Of
our southern farmers by tauntingiy holding up
to the public eye the reduced price of goods
and COadering at ourignorance Their parti-
sans ofthe South repeat, "igaoraace and de-
ceitfully contend that putting on, means taking
off, and if they could, to gain some party end
they'd send away the people quoted, and decev
cd. Do they think the people are always will
ling to be deceived? We are stppid they are
qoise Our arguments and explanations are
unlearncd at which they qDectcaiy laugh, save
few, and they gaze stupidity ii the face ofthosc
who speak under the peculiar Influence Of the
spirits, mot whskey we trust ofthe true wing
revealed faith, and such vanIy try to under
stand but fall But one sentence they mcchan-
ically learn, like babbIing parrots TO repeat with
words of supposed learned length. "3igh pro.
tective duties, upon articles Of domestic manu-
iacture, in proportion TO the advance ofdutics,
reduce their price TO the consumer, and there
fore it is TO the interest of the South TO encour-
age the protection Of American industry" "Too
much learning makes a man mad" by the
time some OF our plain unsophislcated farmers
could comprehend the sylogistic truth of the
above argument we opme their pulse of nature
would irreculaily beat Faithful messengers
these, who know so much about the permanent
interest Gilman, and prove SO much by 50 short
a speech. In n speech as short as theirs, we
will rcply-and leave the two to plain and
simple truth. Duties for protection advance |
the ln,crcs, Of the manufacturers and are dcri-
mental to the prosperity of consumers. Proof
The former beg of Congress protection and
the latter deny the power Of the government to
give it or the right ofthe farmer to ask it.
Our readers will naturally conclude, that
none will asl; for that which will do them in
Iury--at least when they understand their true
interest Upon the other hand we would not
withhold that the giving Of which would make
us prosperous and rich. If ours be ignorance
