We append the Virginia resolutions
l. That the constitution of the United
States was compact; to which the States
were parties, granting limited powers Of

2. That in case ola deliberate, palpabIe.
and dangerous exercise Of other powers
not granted by the compact, the States had
the night to, and were in duty bound to in
ferpose, for arresting the progress of the
evils, and for retaining in their respective.

appertainiDg to them.
3. That the alien and sedition acts were
palpable and alarming infractions OF tho
constitution.
4. That the State Of Virginia, having by
its convention which ratified the federal
constitution, expressly declared that, among
other essential rights, the liberty of con.
science and the press cannot be cancelled.
abridged, restrained, or modified by any
authority of the u. States; and from its
extreme anxiety to guard these rights from
every possible attack Of sophistry and am
bition, having with the other States re-.
commended an amendment for that pur-
pose, which amendment was in due time
annexed to the constitution, it would mark
reproachful inconsistency and criminal
degeneracy if any indifference were now
shown to the most palpable violation of one
of the rights thus declared and secured and
to the establishment of precedent which
might be fatal to the other.
s. That the State of Virginia declared
the alien and sedition laws uncos st;tu.ionoi

in the other States In confidence that they
would concur with her in that declaration
and that the necessary and proper meas.

6. That the governor should be desired
to transmit copy af these resolutions to

be communicated to the respective State

PLASTER on WHEAT IN THE FALL.-From
frequent converse tons with practical farmers
we are well convinced that the use of plaster
on wheat ut the time Of sowing, or put in
with the seed, deserves more attention than
it has hitherto received. These who have
used it aver that the increase of the crop is
not only sufficient to repay the expense and
labor, but has in addition been found to re-
turn good per cent of profit. The plaster
has the effect of bringing forward the timothy
or clover seed sown with the wheat, thus in
snring better after crop of grass for fall
feed.
Plaster, by some means, we Shall not un-
lcrtake to say what, acts to absorb, and re-
tain much of the moisture of the atmosphere,
or brings it up from Its hidden depths in
the SOIL enabling young plants to obtain a
larger growth through its genial influence,
especially if the earth be more than usually
dry. The effect of this will DC to produce Il
better growth of wheat in the fall and thus
enable il more successfully to stand the win
ter, and withstand the ruinous effects of the
carly spring frosts.-So, also, it may promote
an earlier spring growth, and thus render the
crop more rcmunerating. We think plaster
will pay the farmer nearly as we'll as what it
costs, as will guano at the present exhorbi-
tant price, or even ''1mprovcd Supcrphos-
phat of Lime" with all its boastcd virtues

by Il very simple process, ofbcing converted

ANEcDorE.-We find in an exchange paper
an anecdotc of the late William Writ,
yhat is too good to be lost Wirt's life of
Patrick Henry, as every reader Of that biog
raphy knows. is excessive in its Limitations
of the great Virginia orator-in fact il may
we'll be doubted whether the man ever lived
to whom such swelling and varied strains Of
pancgyric could be justly applied, as Writ
continually resorts to in depicting the char
actcr of Henry.
In illustration of this trait, the following
story, current in Eastern Virginia, said to be
true to the letter. is told:
Writ WAS once engaged in the trial of a
cause in which one Of the most material wit
ncsscs on the other side was notorious for
gullibility. BY way of showing mp this trait
in this witness, and thus imlairing his tcsti-
mony. Writ asked if he had ever read Rilcy's
Narrative, and if so, whether he thought it
was true. .Oh yes'' said the witness, Give
mead it, and believe every word oft! % The
counsel on the other side pcrceiving the adj
vantage gained by his opponent, here inter
posed the questions: s.Did you ever read
Nrt's Life of Henry, and If so, do you be-
iicvc it is true - Il have read it, replied the
simple witness, s'but can't say believe it,;
no, no, that's more than can swallow! -

FACTS FOR BtILDERs.-Onc fact is, that a
square form secures more room with given
cost for outside walls. than any other rectui,.
gular figure. Great length and little width
may afford convenient rooms, but at an in
creased expense.
Another fact is, that ventilation j., an cs.
tial in human dwelling. No other consid.
Grafton should exclude this. The halls win
dows, and doors, should be SO situated with
regard to each other, that full draught of
air can be secured, at any time, in the sum
mcr season, by day and night, through the
whole house. The stories should also be suf-
iicicntly high to afford sulIiciccy of air in
all the rooms. Nine feet is good height for
lower rooms, and eight for upper. Bed rooms
should also be larger than they commonly
are. Great injury to health is the result of
sleeping in small close apartments.
The third fact is, that q steep roof will not
only shed rain and snow far better than
Hat one, but will last immensely longer, at
the +aiiic time that it secures increased room
for chambers, or garnet.
The fourth fact is, that chimney in OF
near the centre of the building will aid to
warm the whole house. while if built at one
end or side, the heat will be thrown out and
lost.
The fifth fact is. that door opening from
the outside into any principal room, without
intervention of a hall or passage, costs much
more Thanh it saves, in the free ingrcss of air
into it.
The sixth fact is, that the use oc paints is
the best economy, in the preservation it af-
fords TO all wood ork.--Prarie Farmer.

WHAT THE FARMERS MOST NEED.-Thcy
ned organization. They want farmer s clubs
and nc,ghborhuod libraries OF agricultural
books. They need discussion. They need
more intercourse, not only in their own town
and county, but throughout the State and
country, to see and learn what other farmers
arg doing, and adopt the Improvements made
by them. They need to become satisfied
with their vocation: to get rid of the prevail
ing notion that farming is necessarily an I'M
mental employment; that is, that the farmer
has 10 occasion to think has no occasion for
education, and never can become wealthy. or
what the world would call respectable, while
engaged in the culture of the earth, and there
fore he seeks the lir>t opportunity to escape
from all avocation placed under ban not only
by all others. hut his own class also. The
great need of the farmer is, THAT he shall de-
clare himself Independent of all other classes
at least more so than they are of him, and of
course he is entitled to engage in any other
calling whatever; and if he is man of toll
that is no reason why he should not he man
of intellect. The great need of the farmer is
organization, and thismust be accomplished
by a few self sacrificing men who will un.
dcrtakc the labor Of establishing and main.
tanning farmers clubs in every IL. iyhlorhood
Farmers need to drop politics. AMI take up

think, and they will be sure to act or their

POTATOES AND LIME.-Mr. Editor ALLOW
me to say through u column of your valuable
paper to editors generally, and for the benc
lit of the ''rest Of mankind" that about one
pint Of pulverizcd lme(quick and dry )shoud
be busted over each and every bushcl of po-
taots as they are put away for the winter.
Such treatment, the writer has found, by six
or seven years experience, to be excellent
both to prevent the rot in potatoes, after be
ing taken out of the ground and also that
watcry taste which they have in the spring of
the year. Those who may doubt the vitality
of the plan, should experiment, by putting up
a flour barrel full in that way, this fall, after
which think they will never neglect to use
pulverizcd lime, when housing their potatoes.
No fear need be entertained that the pota-
toes will not sprout in the Spring after being
lined as above stated.

then iniure no body but myself. >
Such was the reply Of a friend the other
day when rcproved for wrongful act, and
such, in substance, is the reply we hear made
nearly every hour, by individuals under sim
liar circumstances. But there is dangerous
ftllacy in the doctrine. which II Shall be our
present purpose to cndeavor to make evident.
There is connect ing link between man
and man. which can not be married or broken
without affecting, in Il measure, the whole
great chain Of being. The effect OF mis-
drcd-and by misdccd we mean any viola
tion ola universal lava law bcing-may
not be directly felt 10y the communty-it
may not, in fact, be directly felt by the in
livdual who commits it; yet it is not there
fore the less true that an effect has been pro-
duccd. In all its departments, the Universe
is governed by wise and imnutablc laws, and
whenever any one Of those laws is violated
the penalty attached thereto must be suffered
by some one. Punishment is not an incidcn-
tai infictiun at the hand Of the Divine Law.
givcr; but the inevitable result Of Il transgrcs-
sion. And that the inquities Of the parents
in one sense, descend upon the children, is
no arbitrary and ndeiinablc decree; but the
Legitimate and natural effect blowing cause.
Hence, all transgrcssion or wrong, whether
voluntary or involuntary, is followed hy al
amount of punishment corresponding in de-
gree with the transgre ssion or wrong. And
since no individual member of u community
can suffer without the universal harmony
which pcrvadcs nature being destroyed, and
the whole community thereby effected, it i,
Srlf.cvidcnt no one has right to inurc him
self in any way; for by 50 doing he Injuries all
his fellow men.
\ man may tell us he has an iualienablc
right to get drunk if he sees ft;-and a wo-
man may tell MS she has an inalicnable right
to become vicious and prohigate il she so de-
sircs, because thereby they njnrc none but
themselves. But such We contend is not the
fact. No one can indulge in vice without az
crSs0ricS: or become corrupt without cor.
rupting others. \ mass Of moral, like Il mass
of physical pntreflction taints the atm"S
Ihcrc, and renders all who breathe it llbl,
to c"ntag"n.
There is no individual obscure but that
lie cxcrts some influence in the sphere or cir.
Gle in which he moves; and if that influcnc"
is not cxcrtcd for good it must necessarily
he cXcrtcd for evil; for to remain stationar!
is an impossibility. Mans destiny is actions
and he must, in morals, rs in physics. cithc'
advance or rctrogadc-cithcr move forward
or backward. He. then, who sets Il bad cx
ample, or fails to set good one, which is il
substance the same, fails to fulfil the obliga
ton resting upon him; and thereby commits
an injury against that community Of which lit
is an unworthy member.
Let us then hear no more Of that philoso
ply which teaches that a man can I!iurc him
self and no one else can do wrong to him
self and not to his ncighbor for it is IL falls,
and pcrnicious philosophy and one that slloul'
be stcrnly rcbukcd.
