The PRESENT PosTTIoN OF THE WHO PAR
rY.-We do not know thatthe position which
the Wing party in this country now occupies
with regard to the foreign relations of the
country, has any parallel in the history, of
that party-certainly it has none since the
war of 1912, during Mr.. Madison's admins
tration.
What we would like to ask any Wing who
NAV choose to answer the question, what are
the principles which the Wings, either as
party or as individuals, now hold What are
the great measures which they propose tor
the consideration of the people OF this coun-
try Will any Wing be kind enough to an
swer this question Really. and in sober
truth, we are entirely at fault as to its answer
ourselves. Read the Wing papers, from the
National Intelligencer down to the village
weekly-read the speeches made by eminent
Wings in Congress, and we defy any man to
lay his finger upon single paper or single
speech, that proposes to the American people
any distinct or substantive line of policy,
either in foreign or domestic affairs. Without
any principles themselves, at least at present,
the whole burden of their song, from Henry
Clay down, is inscriptions, unrelenting op-
position to the administration of Mr. Polk =
They tell you in their papers. and they tell
you in their speeches made in Congress, thai
Mr.. Polk has violated the constitution of his
country-that this Mexican war is damnable
and iniquitous on the part of the United State:
that their own country is in the wrong, &c.
but do they tell you any way by which the
war can be honorably terminated No. They
will oppose to the knife the plan proposed BY
the Chief Magistrate of the Republic, without
as party, proposing any substitute for tina
plan. Why, we ask the Wings, do they not
now that they have the power, impeach Mr.
Polk for his unconstitutional acts !! Dare they
do this? No. Why does not the Wits
House of Representatives order Mr.. Polk, 81
far as it can, to withdraw our troops from
Mexico? They are afraid. The wing lead
ers know full we'll that they could not sustain
an impeachment; and they know, too, that
would forever damn them as party wer
they to order the withdrawal of the troops
Their whole principles may be summed up il
these few words, opposition to the admins

THE D1FFERENCE.-We hold that it is to
the Democracy of the non-slaveholding States
that the South must look for the final destruc-
ton of that fell spirit of Abolitionism which
for years past has sought, and is now seeking,
TO invade the integrity of our glorious Union.
We say that, in all truth and sincerity, do we
believe that to the Democrats of the Northern
and Eastern States must all parties in the
South look in the hour of need. Our Federal
opponents, however, deny that there is any
difference, so far as the slavery question goes,
between the two great parties North. Now
we know, and assert that there is a vast, a ma
terial, difference Men there are in the nom
slaveholding States who claim to be Demo-
Gratis, yet are leagued with the Abolitionists.
Their number, however, is small :; whereas
the whole mass of the Northern Federalists,
whether of the rank and file or the leaders,
are openly and avowedly Wilmot proviso
men. For instance, our opponents alledge
that there are three distinguished members of
the Northern Democracy who are aspirants
for the Presidency-George M. Dallas, the
now Vice President, James Buchanan, Secre-
tary of State, and General Cass, Senator from
Michigan-men who the Federalists charge
would pursue almost any means to attain the
goal at which they aim. Well, is it not sihgu-
lar that all of these men have planted them
selves on the Southern side of the slavery
question? Would they have done so were
they such popularity seekers as the Federal
presses charge them to be, if they did not feel
sure that the Northern Democracy would sus-
tain them in the stand which they have taken ?
Most assuredly not. Where will you find
leading Northern Wing politicians thus boldly
standing up for the rights of the South on this
great question! Just glance for moment at
some of the ablest, the boosted champions of
Northern Whiggery. There is Tom Corwin,
the wheel horse of Federalism in the great
non-slaveholding State of Ohio, Webster, the
God-like Daniel" of New England Wing
gerry, who are as rank anti-slavery men as can
be found in the Union. Where, indeed, can
you lay your finger upon leading Northern
Wing who is sound upon this question. Even
Mr.. Clay, citizen of the slaveholding State
of Kentucky, in his resolutions at Lexington
was compelled to pander to this spirit, so pre-.
dominant in the Northern wing of the party
whose countenance and support he was court
ing when he framed his somewhat celebrated
manifesto. Look, too, to the course which
the Northern Democracy has always pursued
towards the South, and it will sustain thu
same view. How can it be otherwise wher
it is considered that States Rights is the lead
ing feature of the Democracy of the Union
The developments of the coming twelve months
will, if we are not indeed egregiously mista
ken prove all we have said on this subject

TO THE DEMOCRATS OF NEW
HANOVER.

During the present Court week, we have
with a number of the Democrats of
the County, and they all seem to agree that
the Democracy should hold a County meeting
during the March Term of the County Court,
for the purpose of appointing delegates to the
State Convention, and also for the purpose OF
expressing their views freely upon the great
topics which now engross the minds of the
people of the Union. We, therefore, thus
early, at the suggestion of our friends, as well
as in accordance with our own views, an
nounce that on Tuesday evening, the 18th Of
March next, being Tuesday of Court week
there will be meeting of the Democratic par
ty at the Courthouse in Wilmington w,
hope our friends in the County will, between
this and the meeting, prepare themselves II
act Understandings. Let us have large ant
enthusiastic meeting.

CHINESE AGRIcULTURE.-Their great
crops are grain. For rice, the staff of East.
ern life, everything else is sacrificed
They allege that a field Of grain will yield
as much straw for the nourlshment of cat
tie, as it would have produced hay, besides
taking into account the advantage Of the
cereal product for the subsistence Of man,
Of which they can spare a small portion in
plentiful seasons, TO nourish such beasts OF
burthen as are absolutely required on their
farms.
1t is said. upon good authority, that a
Chinese agricullurist would smile If il were
minated that the soils had need of rest
occasionally, and would be DESTROYED UNI
less permitted to lie fallow Tor a season, or
we're employed in cultures designed only
for manures; The result is, that China is
wrought like a garden, and that no offal is
lost that can contribute 10 the minuiesl i'm
provemenl Of the earth. The Chinese soils,
in general, are not superior 20 those Of
Europe, and all the farms, even in the
northern provinces. yield annually two
crops whilst il is asserted that those in
the South often produce FIVE in the course
of two years, without having been permitted
to lie fallow for a single season during the
thousands they have been devoted 10 the
purpose of agriculture. The whole country
is irrigated with the greatest care. A net
work of canals laces the empire, diffusinp

the trenches of a garden; and as all the

able ground. The rocky hills, which in
Europe are converted into vineyards, are,

Pleasure grounds Of great extent; parks for

one or two days labor, for want Of a suita-
lille implement, than il would cost him to
buy one. Oh, but, says one, it is necessary

The necessity Of economising, may, if he
chooses, waste his time with bad tools, but
lie who is under such necessity, surely can
not afford it.
See, then, that your tools are in order,
aud that you have enough Of them. Where
repairs are needed, do them yourself if you
can, but il you cannot, employ some one to

fed with finding an implement in such con
.!ition that it may be used a little longer

it will last through the season. Ii may give
