The Cabinet and PENNSYLVANIA.

The New York Tribune in the course
Of some sensible remarks on the new Ca
blnet, says, in reference TO the omission
OF Pennsylvania:
"The nomination of Nathan K. Hall
OF Buffalo, for Postmaster General
S serious blunder politically, though
he will make agood efficient officer. Mr..
Hall is still a young man, he was buttwo
years in Congress (declininga reolcc-
uon) and is scarcely known 10 the coun-
Try, though he was an industrious aud cf-
iicIent member. But it is always a mis-
take for President TO take a member OF
the Cabinet from his own State, unless
that member be statesman of such cxal-
ted and conceded qualifications that the
Cabinet would have looked hollow with
out him. True, the Virginia Presidents
always made such a choice, but in their
palmy time it was hardly suspected that
nybody 0ea Virginian would do Tor
an eminent position. When John Tyler
reported the error, he was onl saved from
general apprehension by the alI-absorbino
hatred and contempt he had invoked bV
more serious misdemcanors. When Mr.
Polk chose his friend and neinhbor. CPve
Johnson, forPostmaster General, he made
blunder which weekend him 10 the
close OF his administration. The State
which has the President has It's full share
and should not have one Of the Heads Of
Departments. Pennsylvania is on the
verge Of one Of her most important cleo
ilons, with United States Senator and
House Delegation depending, and her
best men should have been called into
The Cabinet, whoever should be left out

Ger the gardens of Gups perfume;
And mine were the gold and the jewels bright
Which were reared by kingly hand,
AS the JOY and the pride of peoples might,
In the Temple of Judah's land.
Mine were the ccdars which waved on high,
And mine were the Ships Tyre,
And mine were the breeze which swept softly by
And The gale which was loud in ire.
The costly ores from thousand mines
Were raised by my vassaltrain.
And the stately oaks and the mountain pines,
For me, sought the distant main
With The staff of life in my jeweFd hand,
have traced the majestic Mic [stand,

And where Babel was won't to smile;

And Carthage was mine in her hours Of peace,
And in Venice have sough: home.
I've fingered in Holland, and in my smile,
Her fleets have sought every sea;

Where the earth, from her tecming breast,
Hath gath cred for me an unbounded store,
On the plains of The giant West.
Lakes, rivers and "wo oden walls" arc mine,
And those, who on polar seas,
Seek treasures which TO the brave resign,
Where the gliering icebergs freeze.
The world is mine, and my smile shall dwell,
With the pea ceiul Of every land;l
The Golfers I'll store, and the garners swell

Then, hurra! hurra. for my fleets of pride
For my cities, loud hurra!

The chill and the burning cline,
Shall for aye rejoice in my high bchcs,

Influence of Grating on Varieties

sis it true that the straight upright
shoots of an apple tree set as gratis, viii
produce straighter trees than the lower and
curving side shoots? and that the trees
from gratis cut from young unbcaring
trees Will be longer in coming into bear
ing?'' c. r.
1t is common opinion that difference
IS produced IN the new tree by the part OF
the tree from which the gratis are cut
Experiments, However. made under the
observation Of the writer, do not favor this
opinion, as no difference could be observed
iii the results produced. Cultivators some
times arrive at erroneous conclusions by
reasoning by false analogy. Theamprove-
mcnt in the Indian corn and other crops,
by successive selections of the seed, has
induced some TO think that similar chan
gcs may be made by successive selections
OF gratis. But where seed is planted, a
new individual or new variety is produced
At each termination; while graltiug or
budding is only Il pcrpctuation of the
same individual or variety. It may in
decd be modified for the time being, by
external and constantly acting causes, but
It's nainre cannot thus be permanently
changed. The quality of a pear is often
greatly changed by grating ii on the thorn,
apple or ounce; but it again resumes its
former character, when grated back to lis
original kind of stock. A certain variety
OF the apple may be changed in quality
and productiveness by being transplantcd
INTO different soil; but trees propogated
from the latter and set back into the for
mer soil, will not retain any of the change.
No permanent influence appears to be
wrought upon the varlety.-.4Daay C,tE-

4 Large CrOp of Corn.

A correspondent ofthe Michigan Farmer
says:-Through the medium Of your val
liable monthly visitor, | will give the
readers Of the Farmer the method by
which raise one hundred and nineteen
bushels of corn on one acre of ground.-
The piece of land under consideration,
had lain in medow some twelve years:
it was ploughed in the fall and planted in
corn the next spring; after the crop was
harvested, one acre was measured off from
one. corner, and some forty loads Of manure
drawn on. The following spring, this
was spread and pIoughe d in after the
common method. Just be fore seed time,
I it was furrowed five feet between the fur
rows. These burrows ere then filled
with manure, and q furroW turned from
each side, on the manure, forming a
ridge. On this ridge the corn was plan
ted in drills, two rows on each ridge,
about ten inches apart and the drills s(one
kernel in each) about the same distance.
This was the small, eight rowed variety
of corn; & five feet between the rows gave
a fine chance for light and solar heat; evry
stalk set for two ears, but Il severe drought
came on Just before the ear began to form
and great ma iority Of the stalks only
produced one car. The drought, doubt
less was more severe upon it by reason OF
the great amount of manure. 1t was the
opinion of many good judges that exam
med 1t before harvesting, that, had it not
been for the injury it sustained by the
drouht, it would have yielded one hum
drcd and fifty bushels to the acre; as it
was, obtained one hundred and nineteen
bushels and some quarts. The labor of
planting, (with'the hoe,} hoeing and har-
vestlng, was the same as three acres rails
ed in the ordinary way; but then | had
the crop Of three acres, and the other two
left for other use.
Should any object to this method, as
being too tedious, let him remember that
one hundred and nineteen bushels of corn
cannot be raised without some labor and
expense

EOnrfIl Of july.

The Fourth was celebrated in this place with all
the enthusiasm becoming the day, yet with that de-
corum and proprety which should, upon all occa-
siOns mark the conduct or American citizens. The
morning was ushered in by the firing of cannon and
other demonstrations of rejoicing and at 9 o'clock
procession was formed and proceeded to the MethO-
dist Episcopal Church. where the Mecklenburg Dec
laration was read by R. H. CowAN, Esq, and the
Declaration of independence by RoB'T STRANGE, Jr.,
Esq, and an grafton delivered by GEO. V. STRONG,
Esq We have since deeply regretted that unavoid-
able circumstances prevented our attendance at the
church, as our friends speak Of the grafton in terms
of the highest encomium. Mr.. STRONG'S effort has
unquestionably enhanced his reputation and deser-
vedy too Of course, it is unnecessary to add that
the readers discharged the duties assigned them, in
the most impressive manner.
Quite large number of our citizens went down
the river upon an excursion in the steamer Gladia-
tor. 1t was, no doubt, pleasant one, as Captain
/ SMITH stands high most gentlemanly and obi
ging commander, and spared effort to add to the
comfort and happiness of all on board
Among the most pleasing incidents of the day, wa
splendid entertainment given by our worthy hosts
of the Carolina Hotel, Messrs. WOOD and FANNIN C
: A large number of gentlemen sat down to a table
I loaded with the choicest delicacies; and while thu
Sparkling wine went round, many toast was givel
and pledged, but none responded to more enthusias
ticay than that which wished to the hosts long li
and prosperity None of the guests have yet cease
s. to breathe that wish.
