From the New Haren Register

DIRECT TAXATION. copied capital article from the Journal of Commerce a day or two since, which gave the manulac. turers some very good advlce; and among other things told them that blind opposi. lion 10 liberal tariff policy like the prese mt, might result in the abolition ofall duties, and the raising of revenue by direct taxation. Because the present law ought 10 be consid. cred compromise of all interests and opin- ions--the ultra high tariff man relinquishing his ideas oi entire success, and the ultra fret trade man his notions of entire abolition of duties. Tine article in question tells what may happen--rather lhan what it would wish to have occur. The result of war extremes--in which harmony of interests would 5e sacrificed in scramble for the
 mpracticable. The doctrine of ultra free
 trade Is not so objectionable, in the minds of people generally. as ultra protection. In the whig ranks there are many who bodily declare their preference for supporting the government by direct taxation-as the slnle government is suppored-yet who, with the same persons in the democratic ranks, are willing to concede something to the opn
 ions of the protectionisls, and therefore ad. voca'e revenue tariff with incidental pro. tection. They are willing to sustain com. promise, or liberal policy. But if the middle course is abandoned by the "hgh protec lioniss," and they insist or the ..whole or none"--if they are determined to "take the whole" in opposition to all compromise, the prospect of getting "none" is quite as strong as that of getting the "whole."

 The boH acorm is the most insidious enemy of the two. Until this year, have heard but few complaints of it in the hill. and have hitherto had no opportunity for examining into it's history, etc. This season, however, it has not only done great injury to the low. land crops, but has cut off, at very mode- rate estimate, twenty per cent of many hill crops. l have seen on single stalks, and these by no means single instances, from one 10 two dozen or more boIls, when as large as small hickory nut, completely eaten out, leaving nothing but the hull of the boil, hole being open on one side, from which the destroyer made his exil. 1 shall take as early a chance as in my power, 10 speak of this insect.

 Cotton picking proceeds very slowly. We have heavy shower of rain almost every day |; and the weather is so moist and rk, that very great quantity is rotting-sedom less than ten or twelve bolls 10 the stalk in my own crop, where at all rank. We have lost our best months picking. The days begin 10 get short now, and the mornings and evenings cool, when a negro's fingers lose all suppeness.
 And have more than once remarked, I should greatly regret seeing cotton go up to any inflated price. But at the same time, il is great folly for any planter to allow his present short crop 10 be sold, until he knows how great lhe deficit is likely to be.

 AGRIcULTURAL.-We cheerfully insert the following article, from the Western Farmer & Gardener, because it introduces the sun flower to us us valuable produc- tion. It shows the various uses to which it may be applied
 SUNFLowER SEED.--'ro some extent this IS likely io become profitable crop. MT. Clark Kitchener in this (Marion) county, tried about an acre of it this year. A part of it did not do we'll but off from one half acre he raised thirty five bushels; or seven. ty bushels to the acre. Medium lands will yield frcm seventy to one hundred bushels.
 Mode of Cultivation. n.-The ground is pre-. pared in all respects as for corn crop, and the seed sown in drills four feet apart one plant to every eighteen inches in the drill. It is to be ploughed and tended in all respects like crop of corn.
 Haruesting.-As the heads ripen, they are gathered, laid on barn floor and thrash ed with fral. The seed shells very easi- ly.
 Use.-The seed may be employed in fat. ,en'ng hogs, feeding poultry, etc, and for the last purpose it is better than grain. But the seed is more valuable in the oI mill than elsewhere. It will yield gallon to the bushel without trouble; and by careful work ing more than this. Hemp yields ono and iouti, gallons to the bushel, and flax seed one and half by ordinary pressure but two gallons under the hydraulic press.
 The oil has. as yet, no established market price. It will range from seventy cents to dollar, according as it's value shall be es- tablished as an article for lamps and for pam ters' use. But at seventy cents gallon for oil, the seed would command fifty cents bushel, which is much higher price than can be had for corn.
 It is stated, but upon how sufficient proof l know not, that sunfnwer oil is excellent for burning in lamps. It has also been tried by our painters 10 some extent, and for inside work, it is said to be as good as lin. seed oil. Mir. Hannaman, of this place, who has kindly put me in possession ot these facts, says, that the oil resembles an ani- maj rather than vegetable oil that it has not the varnish properties of the iinseed oil. We suppose by varnish is meant, the albumen and muclage which are found in vegetable oil. The existence of impurities in oil, such as mucilage, albu. men, wax, gum, etc., which increase its val. ue 10 the painter, diminish it's value for the lamp. since these substances crust or cloy the wick. and prevent clear flame. All oils may. therefore, the less excellent they are for painting, be regarded as the more valuable for burning. Rape seed is exten- siyely raised in Europe, chiefly in Flanders. for its oil, and is much used for burning. Ten quarts may be extracted from bushel of seed. It is beginning to be raised in Ohio for this purposs.j .s. s 94ss's

"PAY AS YOU Col received a few days since a letter from friend in Ohio, from which the subjoined is an extract.- The good sense, the practical wisdom, and the fine turn of expression made a deep impression upon me, and it may be useful to young men just starting in life to read the practical philosophy of one 25 years old, who is rapidly building name and char. acter for time by the exact observance of one sgle principle:
 i've have been expecting you out here all the spring. You and-must come and see how very happy we are. We have no trouble in or about the house-in the house, because we mutually agree upon the Aute us well as the great things-out of the house, because we live practically upon the true and only principle which secures peace, honesty and independence, pay as you go There is nothing like this in the whole roll of inventions to secure ease in living. It takes but one half the money, one half the time, one half the patience, one .half the foresight-not one cent of interest pays 100 per cent in hand and needs no under ,rriting.
 "This is the principle for young man to follow. It needs little moral courage to go it strlclly-but Pay as you SO has made all our honest men-tas made nearly all great tortnes-has made small capitalists million. aires and if it has not made Christians, it has obviated heaps of sins. Now I have based my outdoor operations on this princi. pie, and I find its influence pervading the household minutes |: happiness smiles in eve. ry corner, antwhen the week is fully spent and fully paid for, toe own the Sabbath.
 "Pay as you go" is much neglected as practical principle the enterprise of lite seem to overbear it-and ambition, too i'm. pulsive and too proud, scorns the simple rule of rectitude, bat whoever courts and sub. mits to it's formal exaclons need not envy the great mans freside or tho rich mans pocket. It is and shall be the basis of my plans, and although l do not expect to con- vince the world, feel in ihis principle a substantial investment of happiness that pays as it goes,' and returns a, the end the capital undiminished." sa sseeseA

THxPERIENcE INsUREs SUCCESS

TNXPERIENCE INSURES SUCCESS
M DR. DOW has probably had more practice and
experience in curing diseases of a private nature
than generally falls 10 the lot of any physician;
and within the last four years he has doubt cured
more of those difficult cases of private disc ase sue h
as require practical experience, than all the physl-
clans in Baltimore. The reason is that he appIjes
himself TO the duties Of his profession with unrng
zeal and industry IN the investigation of the disorders
10 which he has confped his whole attention and
has by this discovered that the old fashioned
mode OF doct0ring symptoms only, does not succeed
so ell as his plan of attacking the disease frs-eX
uAgush that, and attt nd 10 the symptoms as NAV
best suit the case. His medicines are free from any
nause"us drug, and are easy to he taken, without in
lelfeIing with the avocations of the patient.
TO SEAMEN AND OTHERS.
DR.. Dow would say that his medicines are free
from mercury and all other poisonous drugs; they are
put up in small ana compact form, and can be ia
k,n without fear ofexposure or hindfaHce from bus
igess, and except in case of violent Inflammation, no
change ofdie is necessary. For further particulars

where Einetee weEliaths of all afflicted with Pri
vae Diseases in this ely make immediate applica-

success, but merely advises tn icted who arc not
acquainted with him, to observe that he has had an
extensive practice for the last eight years and during
that time he has made such Improvements in the
