PATRIoTIc LETTER LEADING WEEsTEi;
MAx.-Wc make the following extract from n letter
of Mr. Cranston OF Rhode Island, to the great w S
meeting III Tompkns Square, New York:
.1liaving been member of the National Wing
Convent on that nominated Gen. Scott, may be
permitted to say that voted for Mr.. Webster from
first TO last and do not regret having done so; and
now think that lie ought TO have been nominated.
WI en- it was asceriained that the friends of Mr..
fillmore could not transfer their whole numLer 10
Mr.. Webster, and therefore lie could not be nomi-
mated, was then ready 10 vote for Mr. Fillmore, If
n sufficient number of the friends OF Mr.. w cbStcr
would go over; buta large portion of them would
not vote for any other man, and one-third oil them,
would vote for Gen Scott, whenever they ceased
to vote for Mr.. Webster.
'.The convention was fairly conducted, and, III
my opinion, the friends of Mr.. Webster and MI
fillmore are politically and morally bound by its
nomination.
al shall support General Scott, not merely be-
cause he is the nominee OF The Wing party, and be-
dependent of all party considerations, as the queS-
ton is between Winfield Scott and Franklin
Pierce. ! know both candidates personally, and
have nothing TO say against Gen. Pierce; but, on
the contrary, believe him to be all honorable
man; still, must say, without derogatlng from the
character OF Gen. Pierce, that in my judgement,
Gen. Scott is infinitely better qualified to admin
lister the high and responsible duties devolving on
the President of the United States, than his COM
pcttor. therefore 90 for Gen. Scott, not grudging
ly, but most heartily.

With sentiments of respect,

that their patriotic excrtiCns will be crown

they have deep stake i'll saving Federal Govern
ment from falling into the hands OF the Van Buren,
Free Sellers of the North. We are admonished in
advance as to what will be our fate in that event.
John Van Buren, the fuglc-man of the party, has
proclaimed that their object is to surround the
Slave States with Free Territory, TO stifle sla
very, where it now exists. To this end, Douglas,
CaSS and other Northern politicians are preaching
up more annexation. The South is to be gulled
by the bait of Cuba, under the idea that that Of
course must be n slave State. But Pierce is the
embodiment of the New Hampshire Democracy
and that respectable body of men, has time and
again, declared i'll most emphatic terms, that there
never shall be another foot of slave territory ad-
ded TO the Union. Mr.. Senator Norris, one of
the Pierce certiicrs has avowed the wish, that
such prohibition should be incorporated into the
organic law of the land. The Van Burens, as
already stated, have declared this to be the leading
object of their pocy-and ALL who know any
thing of the past relations between them and
Pierce, know that the latter will be entirely under
the control OF the forner.-Rieh. Wing.

time very eectual, the experience of epery far
mer, in this section. goes TO prove, from use and
test of at leasttwelye fifteen years The follow
ing is the mode and manner in which it is used and
applied with us: ...-..
Dissolve in water sufficient to cover or swim.th
wheat well, pound blue viriol for every four
(some farmers add ive) bushels seed wheat; let the
wheat remain in this soak eighteen to twenty hours;
take out and sow Immediately, or before the wheat
becomes too much swollen, and you mayrest aSsur-
ell there will not be one head of smut in the crop
grown from seed soaked in this way, however much
the crop may have suffered from which the seed
was taken,
Some of the farmers of opinion this soak will
efIectualIy eradicate chess and cookie. But Of
this am not so That it is an effectual rem
edy against smut, if properly applied, there is not
the shadow of doubt. The wheat may ,e put in
the soak at the same time the blue stone or al
low the blue stone to dissolve, and then apply it.

states in effect that the courts of Louisiana have
decided the McDonosh contested will case, in
which the cities Of Baltimore and New Orleans
were parties against the said cities and in favor
the heirs, on eperypoint. Thus the will, as made
by Mr.. McDonogh with its peculiarities and aims
for prospective and almost indefinite accumula-
ton, is declared invalid, such wills generally
are i'll this country on the ground of subverson of
the public good and injury to the general interests
of society. The will being thus swept away UNI
