LV k'j 4h it I cn, Mar. 2, IS 1 I. The Rev. Mr. H.vbnett, will preach at the Academy in this place, to-morrow 11 o'clock, A.M.

We are under obligation to Hon. J. Jam i sos, for public documents. C. II.

Ai.Lt:.. It will be borne iu mind that this genlcman is expected to address the citizens of this county, ut the Court House, 0:1 Monday next. Our readers are aware that the Judge it, an Democratic candidate for Governor He savs he is a better democrat than Col, Kenton, and we are inclined to believe it; for if wc mistake not, he in in favor of districting the state of a contention to amend the constitution of the issue of fiv; dollar notes by the Hank of Missouri, and opposed to the Currency Dills, and to clique dictation. This we call pretty good Democracy do not you. reader? We would like to hear the Judge explain that "little circumstance" in relation to the appearance of his circular in tlie Falmyra Whig.

JJarylmul Election. The election for meiubtrs of Congress in this State took place on the 1 Jth ult. Wc glean the following from our exchanges. In the First District (part of Baltimore) J. P.

Kennedy (Whig) has been chosen by a majority of 558. In the Second District, Wethered (Whig) is 9ti ahead, as far as heard from. The Whig majority in the whole city is 681, showing a Whig pain since last October, of 349. In the Third District a Democrat is probably elected the usual Demooralio majority there being 1,800. In the Fifth District, as far as heard from, the Democrats had gained, leaving the result doubtful.

Py last night's mail we received furlh er particulars of the result of the elec tion in Maryland. The following are the names of the successful candidates for Congress. They are all Whigs: 1 st the great and glorious cause of Whigge- rich, richer, and the poor, poorer, district, John M. S. Causin; 2nd district.

I have had some mis- -'d ill of the people of Kentucky, in ings of the Democratic McetkJ in Cha- rette Township, ir. Warren county, are too lengthy for our space. This very much regret, as they arc spirited and of the right stamp. The meeting assembled on the 17th February.

A committee consisting of Frederick Munch. Jesse Caton, Wm. W. Adams and Walter T. James, was appointed, who reported a spirited preamble and resolutions, hich were adopted.

The following gentlemen ere appointed Delegates to the County Convention, to assemble in Warrenton, on the third Saturday in the present mouth: Jesse Caton, Frederick Munch, William W. Adams and Lewis L. Wyatt. The meeting declared in favor of Martin Van Burcn, for President of electing members of Congress by single districts of a Convention to equalize representation. They passed a resolution condemnatory of the i "monstrous" currency bills, alia "the th democrlic creed- The whig parly meat from the Legislative department of bills of pains and penalties."

A hundred false rumor, were set afloat the city and a large concourse of people as- sembled, a few of whom seemed dispos- 1 ed to tear down or injure the edifice. The Mavor.

The Greys were ordered out, but their services, were not called into requisition.

Ehitor: I am highly gratified to find that some of my co-laborers in tLl 'Ur correspondent, ho writes over the classic signature of "As- pasio," was attempting to palm off a hoax upon your readers; and that instead of being a Democrat, as he professed, he was, in truth, as much of a hig as I am. This suspicion has been confirmed by the communication of "A Modern Dcm- ocrat," (he ill pardon me tor not giving him all his name.) who from theautl.ori- tative tone of his article I take to be one or the high priests of the Lccefoco church und an oracle of "pure and Democracy. He evidently writes from the book; and speaks as one havir.g authority. Nature has signed him for a leader and I doubt nut, that he holds sweet communion with, and participates in the counsels of the great Humbupger himself. For myself-1 feel under great obligations to him, fnr this candid and ingenuous latement of luitcnarge our nres.

Art. II. We believe that the raiinu- vation and beggary we should make our farmers and planters pay two prices fur every thing they buy, by excluding her manufactures.

Editor, to give you a brief summary of some of the of our Utica) faithin or(erto place onr party in this particular, at least, 1 upon an equal footing with the Demo- cratic party. On 6ome points, some of my friends may perhaps accuse me with misrepresenting their opinions. This may well be as 1o some few of the rank and file of our party, especially the ren- cgades from the Locufocos, but from my intimacy with most of our Whiclca- Jiad ofLei ind(Jc(rillated jn principles, I boldly avow that I have I given utterance to no opinion or point of faith, that is not acknow ledged by the leaders of the universal Whig party to be true and genuine. It is well know however that they make public fe; sions not at all in accordance with their practice, or their private declarations among their confidential friends. Hut jtnis i a species of hypocrisy, to which i in truth, have no more respect lor him or his principles, than they have for old Jackson and his principles.

Again they would have the people believe (hat a Na- that too much conliuencc ought not to he placed in the public professions ol our politicians in high places, and that the articles of faith 1 have given above, are universally regarded as orthodox and genuine.

Y. Sua, 14th inst. From the Southern I'lanlcr. Management of Tobacco. Mr.

William Iiaker, of penned the following instructions for cu-i it.fr tobacco, merely for the use ol a fiioinl in MissMUii, who had icipirst-ed him to do so. The vali.e i.f Mr. li's ideas 'n this subject may be judged from the fact that he obtairif d. last summer, for ait of his tobacco (nop, Cos ty one dollars a lumdied; the highest price of the season, it not the highest ever paid in Richmond, to a planter. He has ever been known both in that market and in his own cotititv.

In eveiy instance, move il to the houses as soiin as possible alter it is cut, order to secure il in case ram.

If it is large, you should not hang more than from ig I to ten plains on a stick, the ace beiwen the tiors iu your tobacco house being lour b-et. A of six inches be-tvveiii the sticks on the tiers ir vour tobacco house will be necessasv while the tobacco is green. Alter it is cured, it may be stored closer. You should build your houses with round poles or frames planked up. or in anv way to suit your convenience or fancy, so you have them tolerablv tight.

The bodies should ba high enough to admit ol rnt less than three clear tiers below the joists. You may have the mot's ol slates, planks, or shingles, just as you like; it is best to have ihcm close, so they vv ill not leak. The curing process should commence in some tour or five days from the time yrur tobacco 'h cut, if the weath-; er is hot, or as soon as it has partially fined. This is d-me by raising smali fires on the lloor of the house. You 1 can have four rows ol" fires in a house i the she 1 have named, extending from i one side to the other.

Fire yourto-' bacco horn three to lour hours evei day (Sundays excepted) until the leaf is cured: alter which time, it will on-jlyle necessary to fire it in damp weather, or when ou see mould on the stems near the stalk. You should jbtilk it down in tolerably soft order, i so that you can strip il in any still weather during the winter. It should be carefully bulked with the tails lapped, not laying any stalks on the inside of the hulk. My reasons for wishing you to bulk it in this way jare that the leaf may not be damaged by any moisture the stalks might contain, iid also to enable you to examine it successfully at all times, by pul ling out Horn either side ot the bulk. Strip your tobacco in damp weather, vvheu it will uot speedily dry from exposure.

Tio from four to six leaves in a bundle, and see that the leaves are pretty nearly of the same length and quality in the same bundle. Bulk yojr tobacco every evening, when snipping, in the same way that you do before it is stripped. Let it remain in the bulk until March or April, (unless it should lie likely injure beloie that time.) then lang it on the sticks and raise it in the house. Let it hang until the steins are perfectly dry; then take it down the fust give, as soon as the leaf has softened a little, befoie the stems have limbered at all. The stems should be dry e-nough to break short off from one end of the leaf to the other; then it is in shippingorder, and, if you choose, you can pack it in huge double bulks and freight them.

Before you commence pr-zing, it will best'for you to sort over all your good tobacco and arrange it lor the hogsheads, so as to have the tocai co in each hogshead as near of the same length and quality as possible. Commence prizing about the middle of iMay, or any time there-alter when it nmy best suit your con venteiice, so as to put your tobacco in market by the middle of August. Its mder, vhen dry enough to insure its keeping, will vary according to the heat or cold of the atmosphere. Have your hogsheads fully up to the gauge; vviih riveted or sawed staves, just as ou like. Have them set up smooth and nice, with planed plank headings.

Piize 1.500 pounds in each hogshead; see that your tobacco is packed perfectly smooth and straight in the bogiheui. 1 will try to tell you sr.methinjj more about curing. Yc-u should have moierate fires in every instance, learinir in mind that ail people who ft tobacco are more inclined to have tl tir fires too hot. than not hot enough.
