The bold, open, and distinct announcement in

has not and will not appoint any Abolitonists or

with appreciation in every part of the country

for years, in the different extremcs Of the Union,

This avowal from Mr.. Stuart is particularly
gratifying-from him as member Of Mr.. Fill

good of the country, the integrity of the Constitu-

CHECKING BAGoAaE.-The Charleston Mercury
states that and after the fret of July baggage
will be checked at the Wilmington boats from
Charleston to New York; that baggage master will
be present, who will give the check and accompa-S
ny the baggage; and that this will obviate the rou-
BILE and difficulties of the different poragcs he
route which have heretofore been much conf
planned of. 1t is very desirable that a similar arr
rangement should exist between this city and Phil

connecting lines of railroad throughout the couns

TUESDAY MORNING, JULY /. 1851.

are regarded by me as a settlement, in principle
and substance-a final settement-oft danger
Gus and exciting subjects which theyembraced:"
''By that adjustment we have been rescued from
the wide and boundless agitation thatsurrounded

to rest upon. And the occasion, trust, will JUS
city me IN ExHoRTING MY ooUNTRYMEN TO RALLY

IPREsIpEET FILLMoRE's MESSAGE.
1.-THE Presidents message, at the opening of the
present session of Congress, expresses fully and
plainly his and the unanimous opinion of all
those associated with him in the Executive admin
istraton of the Government in regard to what
- are called the Adjustment or Compromise mea
sures Of last session That opinion Is, that those
measures should be regarded in principle as
final settlement of the dangerous and exciting
subjects which they embrace; that though they
were not free from imperiectons, yet, in their
mutual dependence and CONNECTION, they formed
a system of compromise the most concilatory
and best for the entire country that could be OBJ
tanned from conflicting sectional interest and
Opinions, and that therefore they should be ad-
'hered to, until time and experience should de-
monstrate the necessity of further legislation to
guard against evasion abuse. Thatopinion, so
far as know, remains entirely unchanged, and
will be acted upon steadily and decisiyely The
peace the country requires this; the security OF
the Constitution requires this; and everyconside
oation of the public good demands this. If the
Administration cannot stand upon the principles
ofthe message, it does otexpect ostand at al"

1t was about eight o'clock in the morn
ing, when, in the third story front Of a
lodging house on busy street in London,
Mr.. Cox, spruce little halter, very much
esteemed by himself, was meditatlng with
an air of extreme dissatisfaction upon a
small piece of looking-glass, which he held
in his hand before him.

Cox, putting on his coat, al should be

to have about handful and half of

"Thank you," returned Cox. "Then,
perhaps, you'll be kind enough to hold

"Certainly, Mr.. Cox. There--why, l
do declare you've had your hair cut!'
"Cut," said Cox, 1T strikes me I've

of the absurdity of my personal appearance
already. Now then for my hat. "There,"

pletely covered his eyes, "Thats the effect

closet and brought out various hats, which
he tried on, successfully, but with no bet

Nitre or Saltpetre for soaking Seed
Corn,

Mr.. FREAs: The Washington Stand
ard some years since, published an account
of an experiment made by Mr.. Hart Mas
sey, of that city, on seed corn. 1t seems
that Mr. NJ, before planting his crop, stee-
ped the seed in a strong solution of nitre,
under the impression that it would have
tendency to protect it from the WORMS.
This result succeeded as he expected, but
there were other results more important,
if possible, which he did mot expect. "The
first rows" says the Standard, "planted
with corn prepared with saltpetre, yielded
more than twenty-five rows planted with
out any preparation. We should Judge,
from appearances of the field, that no one
kernel saturated with saltpetre was touch
ed by the worm, while almost every hill
in the adjoining places suffered seriously.
No one who examined the field, could
doubt the efficacy of the preparatioa-so
striking was the difference of the five rows
and the remainder Of the field.
Nitre is by no mean. an expensive ar
ticle, and We have known farmers use it
literally on their lands as manure, par
ticularly on those cultivated in grass and
grain; also as steep for corn, under the
popular presumption that when protected
by it, the ravages of the crows would be
less frequent and fatal. Sleeps for seeds
are now quite commonly used, and on no
vegetable with more decidedly beneficial
results than on Indian corn. As this is
one Of the most valuable products the far
mer can raise, if solution of nitre will eff
fectually obviate the worm evil and
partially limit the operations of that
feathered rascal, crow, while, at the same
time, 1t acts efficiently as a healthy and
invigoratiEg manure upon the soil, its
use in agriculture can scarcely be urged
with too much earnestness and zeal. This
may appear to be trivial matter, to be
made the subject of newspaper commu-
nication but let it be reccliectcd before I
am condemned, that it is TO small maitess
that the farmer is indebted for his success
Without attending te them, he will always
have an up hill Business, and become
poorer and poorer with the lapse of every
succeeding year. AGRICOLA.
