Letter from Mr. Calhoun.

The following letter from John C.. Calhoun, IN reply
to a resolution of thanks of the Putnam Wing meet
ing, in Georgia, may be interesting to some of our
readers, who, if there be any such, may have been
doubtful to the course Mr. Calhoun intends hereaf-
ter to pursue Boston (Hhig) Courier
FoRT HILL, 9th June, l847
Dear Sr-T am in the receipt of your note of the
Eth inst, covering the resolution adopted by meet
ing of the wing party of Putnam county, approving
the resolutions introduced by me in the Senate of the
United States during the last session, in opposition to
the Wilmot ProvisO, and rendering the thanks of the
meeting for the stand took in behalf Of our rights.
am happy that my resolutions and stand have met
with the appreciation Of your meeting; not so much
on my account as acceptable as is the appreciation of
my fellow citizens to me, but for reason far more i'm
porant. Coming from quarter of c state so re-
spectacle and influential, hail it omen that the
wings of Georgia are prepared to do their duty in
reference to the vital question involved in the resolu-
tons introduced
hope it is the precursor to the union Of all parties
with to repe an outrageous and unprovoked assault
on us-one that involves our safety and that of the
Union We have the Constitution clearly with u.s.
My resolutions have been assailed and denounced
but the truth of tie principles they assert, remains
unconested and uncontestibe. In defending them,
we not only defend ourselves but the Constitution
AMI IN defending it, the Union ITSELF of which it is the
| basis.
We must not be deceived. The time has come
when the qestlon must be met. 1t can no longer be
avoided-nor, if it could is it desirable. The LONGER
it is postponed, the more inveterate and dangerous
will become the hostile feelings between the slave
holding and non-slaveholding states. With union a.
mong ourselves we have nothing to fear-but without
it, everything The question is far above the party
questions of the day lie who is not for us is a.
gainst us.
For your kind expression of feeling towards me, in
communicating the resolution acceptmy sincere &C
acknowledgement
With great respect, ] am, &c.

HONOR TO TIE PLOUGH.

Though clouds ]o'ereast our native sky,
And seem to din the sun,
We will not down in lanquor lie,
Or doom the day Is done; Cd
The rural arts we loved before
No less viii cherish now;
And roRn the btnqnetoas Of yoro,
With Honor to the Plough
In these fair fields, whose peaceful spoil
TO faith and hope arc given,
Wen seek the prize with honest toll,
A nd leave the res. 70 heaven.
Wen grid us 10 our work ike mon
Who own a holy vow,
And If in Joy we meet again,
Give Honor to the Plough.
Lot Art, array'd in magic power,
With Labor hand in hand,
Go forth, and nowsin peril's hour
Sustain a Sinking land.
Let never Sloth unnefye the arm,
Or Fear the Spirit COW;
Those words alone should work q charm
All Honor to the Plough
The heath redress, the meadow drain,
The latent swamp explore,
And DER the long expecting plain
Di1use the quickening storei
Then fearless urge the firrow deep
Up to the mountain's brow,
And when the rich results you reap,
Give Honor 10 the Plough.
So still shall health by pastures green
And noddtng pastures roam,
And still behind her rustic screen
Shall virtue find u home:
And while their bower the muses. build
Beneath the neighboring bough.
Shall many a grateful verse be- filed
With Honour to the Plough.

by the decay .ofthe vines, and tho excre.

We think the black pea preferable to 9th.
crs on account ofthe fact that it Is not 80
liable to rot as the crowder, or any other
kind We have tried. Many farmers sup.
pose, from their frequent failures, that the
pea cannot be profitably raised with corn;

much as the corn. Try it.

Extract Of letter from a highly respecta-
Bile house in Bremen, dated December 3l.t,
1916:
The crop OF rye and potatoes is decidedly
short in Germany, and we hardly ever saw
prices SO high. Rye commands l4O a loo
grots, wheat l2O a l75 grots, per bushel.
These prices of breadstuffs operate power
fully against the consumption of Injuries,
and we are decidedly OF opinion that tobac-
co may go lower yet, until crops become
much smaller; although prices are so low
already, that they hardly now leave any net
proceeds whatever to your planters, who
had much better turn their attention to grain
which will probably have a ready sale in
Europe for some years TO come yet, all gran
aries becoming empty this year.
