Dry Goods Importations. The New York
Dry Goods Reporter says: 'as general thing,
too many inferior goods are imported; goods
having low sounding price, but which are
dear, at any price, to the consumer. The Far
West, which formally took many Ct this de-
scription, now calls for the most costly, and
the purchasers of the lower grades substitute
the American prints as being more desirable,
and procurable at less than half the cost. Con-
sumers, as uniform rule, use far more costly
goods than in time past
In the opinion Of dealers, the English dry
goods will not compare, for durability, with
American. domestics.

SOMETHING FOR OUR FRIENDS.

We quote the following article from the last Louis.
vile Journal for the special OBLIGATION Of our Wing
friends They have only to read to understand =
"GExEnAL TArLon's OrINIoNs.-Dr Delony
Of Louisiana, addressed a letter to General TAYLOR
two three months ago, inquiring as 10 his views
in regard to the tariff and national bank. General
Taylor replied, that, his attention having been on
crossed by his military duties, he had not studied
those subjects and had not made up his mind upon
them. We see that not only the Locofoco papers
but some Of the Wing papers of the North seem to
think il very strange that the mind of prominent
and distinguished man is not fully made up on sub
jects Of so much interest and Importance.
Now Gen. Taylor evidently does not mean TO say
in bis letter that ho has not had his opinions of
the tariff and the bank when those questions have
been pending before the nation. He evidently con-
siders and very properly considers his correspondent
wishing to know how, in the event Of his election
to the Presidency, he would be disposed to act in
siders his interogator desiring to know what
would be his practical opinions President, and he
very naturally answers, as he might be expected to
answer, that he has not made up his mind. Even
if his attention had not been engrossed by military
matters is not to be supposed that his mind would
DO made up as to his course, Us President upon the
tariff and bank. II is obviously proper that his
course as to those measures if placed in tho Execu-
tive chair of tho nation, should depend on crcum-
stances and events which neither he nor any other
man can at present foresee. Not having been in the
United States for more than two years, we do not
suppose that he has even read Mr.. Walkers tariff
(our present ocofoco tara) and neither he nor any
other man tell what the character Of its opera
tons will be in ls4s, or what the condition of the
country will demand; and most certainly Il would be
presumption in him or in any other man to give at
present any pledges, express implied, as to what
he will be in favor Of far tho tariff is concerns
ed, during the next Presidential term. And 50 of
national bank--the Wings do not make the issue
Of national bank; they will not go for the creation
Of bank until the mass Of the na'on without dis
tinc,ion Of party, impellcd by general financial
CONFUSION or some other event or events not now
foreknown, shall demand such an institution by
reclamation. Ask Henry Clay, ask any distinguish
ed Wing statesmen how he, IL elected to tho Prcsi,
dency will act in relation to the tariff and national
bank, and he will answer, as Gen. Taylor answers
thnt he has not made up his mind.''

From our own Correspondent
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 6, l847.

10 the Editor Of the National Whig;-
SIR: The letter of James Buchanan to his
political friends in this State, has aroused
much feeling and created much political dis
cussion. II is looked upon here as the signal
thrown out for the opening of the Presidential
campaign. Many of the friends of Mr.. Blu
chanan consider il as the indication, or plan Of
operation, that he has laid out for his and their
action in the next canvass. Mr.. b. lost cast in
resigning, to say the least of il. in so mysteri-
Gus a way, all pretensions in 1874 10 the Elk
ecutive Chair, and there are many now in his
native State, who feel that he cannot reinsta,e
himself in the good opinion Of his former
friends. If il was an unwise step, or, as his
party has frequently charged Mr.. Clay. with
corrupt motive and conduct in accepting the
Office OF Secretary Of State under Mr.. Adams,
Mr.. Buchanan will have TO explain his course,
and TO settle long and difficult account with
Pennsylvania, if he should ever be presented,
by his own indiscretion or the folly of his
friends, as candidate for the Presidency. His
game is a difficult one. He cannot play it for
his friend Mr.. Polk. He can never again de-
clare that Mr.. p. sis as good Tariff man as
Mr.. Clay" A Kane letter will never again
impose on Pennsylvania. The first move of
Mr.. Buchanan has been made, he has moved
some Of his pawns, and by SO playing them,
he hopes to be enabled TO move his king, Polk
il necessary, or any other pawn, [queen ex-
copied, he having none Of his own, tho he may
borrow but his movements will be carefully
watched. His course last winter and his fu-
ture course shall be reviewed and faithfully
forshadowed by a PENNSYLVANIA.

EARLY PEAs.-As sOon as possible prepare an
early piece of ground for the reception Of peas
Mr.. Goblet gives the following directions for rails
ing peas:
IL ploughed the ground into ridges, the tops Of
which flor the dwarf snrts) were four feet apart
then put good parcel oil yard dung into the fur
rows and ploughed the earth back upon the dung.
then levelled the top Of the ridge little, and
drew two drills along upon ii at SIX inches distant
from each other. In these | sowed the peas
When the peas about three inches high. |
hoed the ground deep aud well between tie rows
and on each outside of them. then ploughed the
ground from them and TO them again, in the same
way as in the cnse of Swedish turnps. In week
or two afterwards they had another poughing and
after they fell aud lay dooa the sides Of the
ridges. When not slicked and sown upon level
ground peas fall about rreguary and in case of
much wet, the under pods ROT but from the ridges
they fall regularly, and the dues not lodge a.
bout them. You walk up the burrows to gather
the peas; and nothing can be more beautiful or
convenient. The culture in The garden may be the
same, excep, that the work which is done with the
pEugh, in the field, must in the garden be done
with the spade" Mr.. McMahon directs, in or
der 10 give the first early crops greater advantage
prepare south border Of dry light earth for their
reception, and raise the earth in narrow sloping
ridges, about foot broad at the base, and nine
other ranging these in a south west direction
from the north side of the border then on the
eastey sides Of these ridges about hall their height
your drills Of peas pretty thick, covering them
about an inch aud half, or il the land be very
loose and light, two inches or il of stiff nature
one inch in depth In this situation, they will
have all the advantages Of the morning aud mid
day sun, lie dry aud consequently advance in vege
tation much more rapidly than if sown in the or
binary way"
Mr.. Dean observed that for field peas land that
is newly ploughed out ofswsrd is generally account.
ed the best and land which is high aud dry, aud
has not been too much dunged. The sorts. which
grow large, should have weaker soil in a strong
er soil the smaller sorts answer. Our farmers do
not commonly allow a sufficient quantity Of seed
for peas in broad cast sowing. When sowcd thin
they lie upon the ground, hut if they ATE sowed
thick they hold each other up. Mr. Dean recon-
mended three bushels to acre In sowing peas
in rows which grow six or seven feet high to have
the rows twelve or fourteen feet apart, with rows of
carrots or onions, &c. between them is thought to
be good practice.
