THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, we hear, is
closed to-day on account Of the death Of Hon
Richard Rush, member Of the Board of Regents,
and warm friend of the Institution. Mr. Rush
it may be remembered by some ,waS the person
appointed by Government as its agent and sent to
England 10 make arrangements for the transfer Of
the property left by Smithson from one side of the
ocean to the other, an affair he carried out with
his usual sagacty and prudence. Perhaps il the
country had been specially searched, no better
man could have been found for this business
His former residence in England in the character
of American Minister, as wen as his other ex
perience, gave him peculiar advantages in tbs
prosecution OF the claim. 't a. ....-

Ma EDIroR-In the Weekly Democrat" OF
May 25th, noticed all article copied from the
Ohio Statesman, and entitled "Gov. Chase and
the Tariff. " After quoting some remarks from
the Tribune, the editor asks, whether Gov.
Chase is also of opinion that the prosperity OF
American industry demands further discrimin-
alton against, and additional taxes upon the
farmers of this statel" The assertion that the
farming interest is injured by judieious tariff
for the protection of the manufacturers Of our
country, may require no proof for such men as
the editors of the Statesman and Democrat;
but assure these gentlemen that the intelh.
gent farmers Of this State will not be deceived
by such nonsense. This idea of the editors is
au old notion Of the Democracy which has been
exploded hundred times in both theory and
practice, The manufacturing and farming in
terests Of this country are so intimately con.
nected, that whatever Injuries the manufacturer
Injuries the farmer, aud whatever is judieious
protection to the manufacturer, is an equal
protection to the farmer. To show more clear.
ly the eils,t of protection upon the farming in.
teresi, permit me to give an illustration. Sup.
pose that in accordance with the Democratic
principle, we had no protective tariff. Ameri-
cans could not afford to manufacture because
they could not compete with foreign manuiac.
turers. Those who, under the protective sys-
ten, would be engaged Ia manufacturing, under
the democratic system would be driven into
farming The number Of producers would be
greater than that of the consumers; our own
market would be ruined, aud the products of
farming would be so plentiful and cheap, that
they would scarcely pay Tor transportation to
foreign markets.
The tariffs Of European nations are so high
as 10 almost exclude our produce from their
markets II ample protection should be grant.
ed 10 the manulac uTsr when the country is in
such a condition, what would be the effect ~
II would be almost magical Thousands would
leave farming and engage in manufacturing.
Manulactories would spring up in every vi
would be hrisk-and the Sc en-
gagged IN manufacturing would require the pro-
luce Of the farmer; that is a good aud reliable |
home market for the produce Of the farmer
would be created. All classes would be bene. |

Important Queatien-Isn slave a Person
Another importuat Slave question has been
brought before the United States Supreme
Court Il is whether Slave iS person, and
am, l.ale to the laws of Congress TIE case
was argued a few DAYS ago before Chief Jus.
tios Taney and Judge HallybuHon, sitting in
the Circuit Court the United States at Rich
mond, Va, by John Howard Esq for the
slave, or her owner and John Gregory Esq,
for tho United States The legal point is,
whether a slaus can be punished uode, the act
Of Congress, which says that ANY person who
sialltake or steal letter from the Post 0nice,''
&c
A report Of the case to the Times states that
/ on the part of the Slave, it was contended by
Mr.. Howard that as the act did not specially
mint to slaves, it applied prina tasis only TO
spersons" known to the Law. as having legal
| riuhts and responsibilities, and who ciuid be
tired and iegslly punished as provided by the
act, and under the usual forms Of law as
administered in the United States Courts;
that slave is not such a legal 'person
within the meaning Of the act, being re
copnized by law only as property. 10
sustain this view of the case, he cited the
by the Supreme Court of the United States in
the Dred Scott case, as recognizing slaves only
as property, and the Supreme Court of Appeals
of Virginia as deciding in Bayly VS.. Poindex
ter, aud other recent cases, that slave has
no legal rights whatever that he is not legally
a person, but thing, so far as the civil law IS
concerned whi,h was sufficient for the purposes
Of the argument in this case; that in accordance
! with these views, this act Of Congress clearly
showed that slaves were never intended TO be
embraced therein, since the punishment is iue
or Imprisonment, and sometimes both; that Il
was impossible, in a legal sense, either TO fin.
a slave or deprive him Of his liberty, because he
has neither property nor liberty to be taken
away, his legal character consisting in denia
20 him of the rights of property and liberty, SC
that judgment against him, depriviug him o
either to any extent, would be a legal nullity
aud absurdity
Other incongrnities and absurdities in the
case we're pressed upon the attention of th'
, Court, and the reasoning in the Dred Scott de
I cision was quoted to show that negro slaves ar
not entitled to any of the personal rights secur
ed TO citizens. Counsel argue that the slav
} in question might be tried and if guilty pun
shed under the State laws for larceny of tn
4 letter and its contents, and to this the owne
{ would not object She ought to be whipped h
said and sent about her business, and not sen
= to the Washington prison from two to ten ycar'
n to the total loss of her service to her ma-te
; during that time.
The argument for the defence is supposed I
e harmonizs with the Dred Scott decision, an
that the Chief Justice will be consistent wit
himself, nd decide that the woman Amy is no
a woman, or a person of any description, but
!, thing, having no rights, and who cannot b
punished for SHINING against the laws of I'll
; United States. "This IS great country J"

In noticing the sale of 10000 bushels of In
diana Wheat in New York. brought back from
Liverpool, at $3.50, the Indianapolis Journal
remarks
If the wheat speculation has not cut its own
head Off we are badly fooled. In buying up for
the Liverpool market the dealers have run so
hard that they have got ahead Of Liverpool
prices and wheat comes from there here for
sale What with q single steamer carrying out
SO 500 600 OF gold, and our wheat coming back
for market. we must say that if we want to
keep of another crash, importatons and debts
abroad had better be "dried up" speedily. It's
the most unhealthy condition of business that
can be imagined, to have gold going away from
us at the rate of 100000, 600 year as is the
case now, and even our own produce coming
back to us for more gold That sort of opera
ton will make us rich "a heap"

ftiod by such result The manufacturing
buliness would oe profitable the lahorer would
fnd plenty Of employment and good pay aud
the farmer would get q high price for h'a pro-
duce But the editor speaks Of It's being tax
upon the farmer; " il were 80. these advania-
qes are much more than enough 10 compen-

the farmer. II our manufacturers were not
protected, foreign manufacturers would com.
bine, as they frequently have done, by mutual
sacrifices 70 crush ours and then being de-
pemlent upon them, we should necessarily pay
whatever they chose 20 demand Precisely
,uch result was experienced by the American
people after the last war with England. The
farmers Of Ohio will no longer be deceived by
the specious appeals to their sel6shuess which
Democratic editors and speakers are so much in
the habit of making. A FARMER
