HEMP FOR THE U. s. GovnnNMrsr--The


Louisville Courier, of the 4th contains the
following article, which may be of interest
to some of our hemp growers:
The letter from the Bureau Of Construc.
lion, at Washington, d. c., 10 the intelli-
gent and Jealous Hemp Agent in this city,
will create no small degree Of feeling in The
west. Under the act Of Congress, and the
encouragement Of the Secretary of the
Navy, the farmers ofthe west have been in
duced TO go into the business of waier-rot.
ting hemp extensively. A large amour, Of
capitol. industry and labor have been inves.
ted in this business in the west, ond when
the Hemp agent announces to the Depart
ment the purchase Of the enormous quantl-
Ity of tDo lots Of water rotted hemp!-the
Bureau Of Construction orders him to dis.
continue bis purchase, because the depart.
ment had made other arrangements. While
the Agent was zealously discharging great
public duty in advancing great western
interest the Department has evidently de-
termined TO trample this great western in.
terest under foot, an interest that had been
called into being by Congress, and by the
Naval Department. Will the western men,
bers quietly submit to this outraged We
hope tina, each Congressman from Ken.
lucky, Tennessee, Missouri and Illinois will
do his duty TO the west, and try and recon-
struct the foolish and impudent mandate OF
the Bureau of Construction. And we ear
nes.ly hope tina, the Kentucky Legislature
will at once act upon the matter, and show
their constituents that they are the protect
ors of the interests of the State.
The letter referred to is as follows:
NAVY DEPT, Bureau of Construction. |
december %, lS4s.
"S1R: have received your communica.
ton of the 10Th inst, reporting the pur-
chase of two lots of water rotted hemp, &c
"The Department being about to estab-
lish permanent arrangement for obtaining
supplies of that article, you will please 10
suspend purchases until further instructions
Respectfully, your obedient servant.

"Mr. LEWIS SANDERS, U. s. Hemp
Agent. Lou. KY"
Mr.. SANDERS, Hemp agent for Kentucky
is pleased to add:
Gentlemen engaged in the business are
hereby informed, that all the Hemp pre-
pared with the view of selling it to the
Government will be rec eived and carefully
stored at The risk of the owner, in the Gov
eminent warehouse, in this city, free of any
charge for storage.

they would be adopted. They might no,
secure all that members desired, but GER
tainly no one could deny, but that the
amendments now proposed were better
than the old Constitution.
Mr.. Bingham replied at some length, to
the remarks Of those who had preceded
him, and in opposition TO the adoption Of
the present amendments.
Mr.. Kirk should vote for their adoption,
though if one of them was disconnected
he would vote against it-he alluded to the
proposition in regard to the pay of mem.
bers, he believed il would have an evil in.
fuence in legislation.
Mr. Risk proceeded to reply TO some re.
marksin regard to the inequality of repre-
sentalion, and referred to some facts 10
show that but little inequality would exist
between the counties having two members
and over; and those having one-that the
difference in the aggregate population was
not so great as some would have us be.
ieve. The small counties have peculiar
interests TO represent, and they were en-.
titled to a representative. In the Senate
that body represented population, and what
st. Louis lost here, in this house, in the
other she would make it up.
Mr.. Jones made some remarks in reply
to gentlemen opposing the adoption of the
amendments, and in support of their adop
ton.
Mr.. Crenshaw supported the amend
ments, and denied that the small countie!
were disposed to 60 against them. Though
they held the balance of the power. we,
they were disposed to do justice, and equal
ize representation, principle our fore ia
theirs taught US TO revere.
