The Richmond Republican, III the
ful culogy on the State of Virginia. Incl
dentaliy asks: '.Why have Virglnians
ever emigrated from their State. to settle
in oe,hr lands!' TO which the Fellows
vile Democrat published in Preston
county, Va replies: ''In consequence
Of her aristocratic laws, and her hanging
with her deadly grasp to that odious, anti
Christian. anti Republican, and anti
Democratic curse, Siareryt'
The Republican sang very beautiful
song. in organtones, over the glores Of
the State. And the Democrat sings very
truthful reply, in short metre, that fully
tells the story But pursuing its elo-
quent theme, the Republican says:
There is certainly no State in the
l Mon which possesses such combna-
ton of natural advantages and attractions.
here are there superior agricultural re-
sources! Where more extensive and
various mineral treasures! Where a more
genial and healthful climate2 Where more
magnificent prospects than the scenery Of
Virginia.! Where more beauty than in
its sequestered glens and smiling wales
Where purer and more elevated tone of
public sentiment! Where a greater album
dance of the comforts and conveniences
of life! Where land whose past his
tory IS more glorious, and whose future is
capable Of grander destiny Yet such
State as this has been deserted by her
children. for fields where, if fortune is
more speedily attained, it is more speed
lily dissipated. where thousand enjoy
ments of social life are relinquished; and
where disease and death cast their prema-
;ure blight upon the successful votary OF
adventure"
And pursuing its forcible reply, the
Democrat declares:
'Do away with Slavery. amend the Con-
stitution, alter the Laws SO that one part
Of the State will be equally protected with
the other, and our word for it. instead OF
Virginians emigrating from their native
home, thousands from other States will
settle within her borders; capital will be
brought in: her agricultural resources and
her mineral treasures. will be developed:
and by adding art to her magnificent
scenery. will not only make her one ofthe
wealthiest States. but one of the mos,
beautiful within fhe Cnion.'

Gen. Cass has at last succeeded in
winning the full appreciation Of South
Carolina. The Charleston Mercury,
which was dubious about his Nicholson
Letter, is perfectly satisfied with his last
letter, simplifying and explaining it. 1t
says:

Proviso no one can now misuudcrstand;
and. by the aid of his friends in the Sem
ate. it secures US against IFS passage by
Congress. Let the South, in the ap-
preaching election, secure 10 the Demo-
cratic party the performance in th5
House of Representatives which it has al
ready in the Sena and bcyon! the in
fiuence Of the executive, no mischief can
be perpetrated by the Wing party. al
though useful reforms BY the Democracy
may be arrested. If, on account Of the
opinions expressed by Gen. Cass on the
Wilmot Proviso. he is driven from the Sen
ate by the Legislature Of Michigan. which
we observe, is anticipated by wing papers.
il will only be another commentary on
the forbearance and submission Of the
South, which elevates to power and hon.
or insthe free States all her enemies. and
DESTROYS all her friends. The time was
when the favor of the South was honor.
and her support was life.

PREPARATION OF SEED WHEAr-By

might cause smut or other diseases, and
destroy the eggs Of insects: and by skim
ming. the light seeds and other refuse sub
stances may be excluded.
Various sleeps are used as further
prevention of smut. &c. for which we
have recommended violent washing. The
following is cheap. convenient, safe, and
probably as etIectual any; and il has
the important advantage of floating oats,
and grains Of comparative lightness, that
sink in pure water.
Make a solution OF salt as strong as it
can be made, which is probably one quart
of salt to two gallons of water. In this

soak the wheat twelve or twentviour
hours; but when thus prepared, if the
weather is favorable. it will keep in good
condition for several days or weeks. it the
brine is strong. as it will not vegetate in it,
We have kept wheat week or two in
this way; and a farmer informed us that
he had prepared his wheat in brine. when
his intcrvalc, where he intended t. SOW.
was overfowed. and he kept it in the brine
three weeks. and. as it was late. he then
spread and dried it, ard sowed it the next
spring with success.
After soaking wheat in brine, drain off
the brine. which is good manure. and
add sufficient slack lime to make it dry

is added. If any accident or storm pre-
vents sowing soon. return the grain 10 the

Columbus, Wednesday, Feb. Z.

In the Senate on yesterday afternoon,
the signing Of the appor,ionment bill Of the
last session, came up in discussion be-
tween Mr.. Goddard and Byers, in which
the former took the strange ground, that IN
despite of the joint rules which declare
that "each bill and joint resolution shall be
s;guea in their respective Houses: first by
the Speaker of the House of Representa-
lives. and then by the Speaker of the Sem
ate, who shall fix the date thereto" that
he as Speaker Of the Seaate, had a right
to sign bills wherever he pleased, in the
Senate, or on a canal boat, in a stage
coach, or in his own room. The constitu-
ton gives to each House the right to es.
tablist its own rules, and these rules ex.
pressly state that bills shall be signed in
the respective Houses. When the appor-
tionment scheme was signed, the Senate
was not in session, and hence, under the
rules, Mr. Goddard hand no more right to
affix his name to the apportionmentscheme
than he had to affix the name Of third
person to a note of hand. Besides this, the
bill never finally passed either branch
the vote on its passage in the House had
been reconsidered, and the bill was then ly-
ing in the Senate with question pending
thereon.

What is the Matter2

On the 9th Of January last, Mr.. Morris
Of the House, called on the Auditor of
State by resolution, to report to the House
q full statement of facts in relation to the
lost thirteen thousand dollars from the
three per cent. fund-but no answer!
On the l9:h Of the same mcnth, January,
he introduced another resolution calling
on the said Auditor to state why he had
not answered the first resolution On
yesterday, the 5th Of Feb, Mr.. Morris a
gain introduced a resolution calling on the
said Auditor to answer sforth,OiA" for his
conduct in thus Withholding information,
from the Legislature, of vital importance,
and around which hangs rumors of little
better than downright robbery ofthe Treas
ury.
@ On last night the Auditor Of State
left the city, and no answer is yet produc'
ed. What does all this mean? Is it any
wonder that the wings preferred that there
should be no Legislature if they could no
control it,-StGteSnaan.
