MONDAY MORNING, JUNE 2, 1S5G. It is more than probable that the views expressed by Senators Butler and Toouibs, in relation to the dismissal of Mr. Crampton, under the circumstances in which that procedure was consummated, are those which will be adopted by the conservative men of the country generally. The fashionable doctrine of the day, that every thing done by an existing administration in this country in connection with our foreign relations, must, in case a difficulty should arise, be sustained or defended, we are glad to see is not held by the Senators to whom we have referred. It is a doctrine fraught with evils, and dangerous, if carried out to its legitimate consequences, to the liberties and happiness of the country, it is not a Whig doctrine.

Executive power requires as much looking after, when applied to foreign rcla tions, as it does when exercised in our domestic affairs. Several of the leading opposition journals in the interior of New York assert with the utmost confidence, that Mr. Fillmore can carry that State. The Albauy Statesman describes him as eminently the man for the times, and calculated to satisfy and pacify the country, from one extremity of the Union to the other. The Milledgeville (Georgia) Recorder, an old line Whig journal, which has heretofore refrained from taking position in favor of Mr.

Fillmore, now comes out in the strongest manner in his favor. The National Intelligencer says, of the Democratic members of Congress have goneio the Cincinnati Convention, and in the interval the halls of the two Houses are to receive their summer furniture. Other ventiona are to be held within the month of June, and it will be difficult, we suppose, to retain a quorum in either House until after the This is a pretty stato of tilings, truly! Washington Sentinel says that ro4d to the White House is so narrow and of access that hut one politician oan enter it at a time and he who gets into that road, no matter by what means, expects everybody behind him to labor for his pleasure and the perpetuity of his The Mobile Tribune states that on the 19th it was so cool that fires had become requisite. The Tribune thinks that such weather might have been fit for Boston, but was singularly cut of place in Mobile. The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Cheeapeake and Ohio Canal Company will take place in Washington Greater interest is experienced in the report of the President and the action of that body than for many years past.

The Williamsburg Gazette says, Bowden does not accept the appointment of Senatorial Elector lor this district, conferred on him by the Staunton The publication of the Richmond National American, as a daily paper, has ceased. The election contest in Washington to-day, it is thought, will be an excited one. A heavy thunder storui occurred in Philadelphia. last Thursday afternoon. The Cincinnati Convention meets to-day.

Lata Hovtaitnt. The long looked for dismissal of Mr. Crampton, the British Minister, and Consuls Barclay, Mathew, and Rowcroft, which has been authentically announced, was productive of far less excitement on our Stock Exchange than many of the false or rather premature rumors which have preceded the event. The belief prevails almost universally that if Mr. despatch is written in the friendly tone which the last document from Lord Clarendon ho plaioly calls a telegraphic copy of it indicates that it unpleasant results will ensue.

Coder this impression, therefore, beyond the creation of a feeling of dullness, the announcement had little or do effect upon the market. Those who are given to forebodings of evil prognosticate that the real effect of the dismissal will he developed some three or four weeks hence, when we are advised of the tenor of its reception in England and of course their auguries are any thing but favorable. The class of persons who thus reason are numerically very small, and they are borne down by the opposing sentiment of the great majority. Come what may, there will unquestionably be much anxiety, both in commercial and political circles, to know bow the action of our Government is received on the other side of the Atlantic, and in the interim some slight feeling of distrust will doubtless continually manifest itself in our sensitive uiouetary world. letter Jr cm Xew York.

Hitt Now that the Washington Sentinel wants Pierce utterly destroyed at Cincinnati and Buchanan nominated, it makes a frank confession in respect to the course of the Northern Deomcracy touching the motives 1 and views which actuated them iu their sup- 1 port of the Nebraska bill; and it asks in reference to it not clear beyond contradiction, that he went tiefore the North everywhere claiming reward upon the express ground that it (the Kansas bill) was 1 legislation intended to, and would secure ad- i vantage to the it was a bill for i freedom DMth The American Celt, devotes much space to I the killing of Keating by Herbert.

It would appear that another battle has been fought, and that the Costa Ricans had suffered severely. They are in retreat, and the war is over. The permanency of the Walker-Rivas Government is thought to be assured, and negotiations will soon be commenced for indemnity for injuries suffered by Americans, in their persons and property.

The accounts from Turkey are not favorable. Insurrection appears to be extending in Asiatic Turkey, where theory is that the religion of Mahomet is extinct in Constantinople and the infidels are about to invade Asia. What is most to be feared is a massacre of the Christians. However, all accounts are yet too vague to depend upon, but we greatly fear the approach of a dreadful scene of warfare. The Columbia Carolinian of the 2Jd regret to learn that the late heavy rains have caused a freshet in the Wateree river that has destroyed the entire crop of many planters.

This is unfortunate, as it is now too late to replant cotton. We understand that on Friday the planting lands of our fellowcitizen, Col Clarkson, were entirely covered. This is one of the best protected places on the river." The Ohio Statesman are sorry to learn from good sources, that the first planting of Indian corn has generally failed throughout this region, and elsewhere in Ohio, so tar as we can hear. This is to he greatly regretted, as it will compel the replanting of this important staple. We suppose the cause of the failure is the long and severe cool weather during the planting season." After a perusal of the accounts respecting the erof in all the principal grain growing States, the Journal of Commerce has come to the conclusion that, should nothing unforeseen occur, and favorable weather continue for the next three weeks, the forthcoming wheat crop will be the largest ever produced in the country.

The resolutions were advocated by Daniel D. Ford, Charles King, President of Columbia College, E.

It is useless for mo to say a word in way of praise of his remarks. They will speak for themselves. The members of the General Conference showed their estimation of his fine effort by the attention paid to him, and by extending more time to him than to any other speaker.

If we mistake not, all the numerous Phalansteries that seven years ago dotted the Northern and Midtile States have died out, and that the Icarian Community should timely follow their fate, may be reasonably oxpeeted.

Ann. Proposed Arbitration of the Central American A message of the President, sent to the Senate of the United States on Thursday, merely enclosed the letter of Mr. Marcy to Mr. Dallas, dated on the 24th of May, on the subject of the difference of opinion between the British Government and that of the United States regarding the construction and effect of the convention of the 14th of April, 1850, and the subject of Central America generally: The President says he cannot do anything i which taken to admit, either direct- ly or inpliedly, that there is a question in his mind relative to the true construction of that convention, and he feels bound to take care i that in entertaining the proposition of arbi- tration, he shall not be understood as actua- ted by the slightest feeling oi distrust regarding treaty-rights of the United States.

But the President i9 not prepared to say that some of the questions of fact concerning which the two governments differ, tuay not be con- i veniently determined by arbitration, or by some analogous method. Of this class of objects of inquiiy, is the question: What are the rightful limits of the establishment at the on the side of the State of Honduras The question whether the Islands do or do not belong to that Republic: and theques- tion What extent of country is embraced in the term Mosquito coast, or is in the actual occupancy of the Mosquito Indians, or consi- tiered as Indians; and with such territorial rights only as that description of persons are entitled to claim, according to the established public law of Great Britain and of the Uuited States, and of Spain, or of the independent States which have succeeded Spain in America, remembering that no power exists on the part of Great Britain and the States to dispose of the sovereign rights of Nicaragua or anv other of Central America. Mr. Marcy concludes as these que-tioiis of puhtical geography, regard in the first instance the sovereignty and ju- risdiction of the independent States of LVn tral America. Great Britain and tho United States had no pretensions thus to intervene: except for the purpose of defining their own mutual obligations, arising out of engagements they umy have contracted in order to insure, as far as they are concerned, ihe neu- tralit.y and independence of the American Isthmus.

Regarded only as collateral eon- biderations, affecting the construction of a treaty between the United States and Great these are questions, hich, it not tie- termined hy agreement of the two countries themselves, the President will not decline to refer to arbitration. Aware of many praeti-; cal obstacles to the adjustment of any international differences ot this nature byarhitrai tion, of the difficulties between Great Britain and the United States, and experience in the attempt to settle by such means a previous controversy on the subject of the boundary i between the United States and the British 1 provinces in North America, the President does not doubt that any one of the powers of Kurope which should consent to undertake the task of such arbitrat ion as now proposed, would perform the duty with perfect iinpar- I tin lity. But to apply to any power to do this wmuld he to ask of it an act which, if grant i ed, would add to our own domestic duties the labors and burden of settling the compliea- ted differences of other governments, lie would greatly prefer that, in a controversy like the present, turning on points of political geography, tho matter should he referred to some one or more of those eminent men of science who do honor to the intellect of Kurope and America, and who, with theprevious consent of their respective governments, might well undertake lie task of determining such questions to the acceptance, as well of Her government, as of the United States. are instructed, therefore, to enter into communication with Her principal secretary for foreign affairs, in relation to Central America, in order to ascertain, in the first place, whether the existing differences cannot he promptly terminated hy direct negotiation; and if it cannot, then discuss the conditions of arbitration on those points of difference as to which alone this method of settlement seems requisite or applicable, it being assumed that the other points of difference would, al ter that, ield as of course to the conference between the Karl of Clarendon and yourself, conducted in a spirit of cordiality and frankness hich belongs to our personal relations, and dictated by the true interests both of the United States and Great Britain."

BRYAN, ADAMS CO i my or Highlit of the South. For some time it has been apparent that it would be the policy of the democratic party to give the pending canvass for the Presidency a deeper Southern tinge than usual. Acustouied to regard the Slavery question as a mere party element they have discovered tho necessity of doing something to appease the awakened suspicion of the South, and are prepared to make a bold bid for Southern support. At such a time it is of the highest importance that the South should understand the real issue, and not permit itself to be cheated by any simulated regard for its rights, or any concession or guaranty from the North which does not comprehend the vital point in the controversy between the sections. That vital point is this: The riyht of the citizens of the South to yo with their slaves into any Territory of the a ion, and tha possess and use tfum under the protect of the constitution and the federal authorities, until the Territory shall have become invested with the sovereiyn powers of a State.

This right is absolute and undeniable; it is vital 1 and pressing; hut momentous and urgent as it is, we shall undertake to prove that it has never been acknowledged hv the Democratic party, as a party; that it has been denied and 1 repudiated by the Northern branch of the that there is no reason to hope that theCincinnati Convention will concede it. In the first place, we assert that with all their pretented regard for the rights of the South, the Democratic party have never in any National Convention affirmed or admitted this primary, in disputable and inalienable right of the slaveholding States. We challenge contradiction of this. In the second place, we assert that no democratic State Convention, in any Northern State, has recognized such a right. We defy disproof of this assertion.

lu the third place, wo assert that no recognized leader of the Northern Democracy (except perhaps Mr. of Pennsylvania) has ever conceded this right to the South If I there he a solitary individual, (besides the one named, whose admission of the right was only quasi) let him be named and we pledge ourselves to do him and the party justice. In the fourth place, we assert that the reverse of the proposition, as wo have laid it down, has been so commoulv affirmed by the democratic conventions, I.ogi-datores, organs and orators of the party in the North, as to leave no rational doubt that the denial of this fundamental right of tho South is an os- sential tenet in the creed of Northern Democracy. It is a direct and explicit denial of this i right to say that Congress has the power to prohibit the introduction of shaves into vt 1 ritory, as so many of the leading Democrats of the North did say when the Wilinot Proviso was under discussion. It is a clear and unequivocal denial of the right to say that the inhabitants of a Terri to ry through their Territorial Legislature, may interdict slavery, as every Democrat of prominence North of ami line, whose views are known (except Mr.

Jones of Pennsylvania) now maintains. It is an and absolute denial of the right to say that slavery is local and can only exist by virtue of laws establishing it, as the very soundest and most liberal of the Northern Democrats have and yet continue to say. None of these propositions or assertions can be controverted. Their admission would be the establishment of what we set out to prove; but we have evidence and facts to substantiate our positions which inako the argument independent aid from admissions or 1 irymian.

Farming In After the corn is re-planted the next work in order is thinning if possible a moist time is selected for this operation, hut the hands should always be provided with a stick the length of a can' and sharpened like a chisel at the lower end, to dig up those roots that may he broken off and which if left will grow again.

The second and third working varies as much as the first; while some continue the cultivator throughout, others use the double-shovel plow others again work the one horse mould board plow and not unfrequently the second plowing is done hy the shovels, hile tlie corn is laid by with the cultivator. For the last course two reasons are supposed to exist: 1st, the roots remain undisturbed when the corn is putting forth its whole strength for the production of the ear; 2nd, the ground is left in smoother and better condition for the wheat crop. On the whole, however, the question is whether deep or shallow culture is the better, but like most other inquiries of the same nature, no conclusive answer has yet been given, nor can be until a number of careful experiments test the matter. 'I'lie advocates of shallow plowing contend that the roots should be allowed to go in quest of their food as nature intended, undis- turbed by the plow: and that breaking them checks the growth of the stalk and diminish- es the crop; the saving of horseflesh is also) brought into account, as well as the bstter state in which the land is left. Those on the i contrary who plow deep assure us that we are amply compensated tor the extra labor hy the increased yield; since the roots which remain after being cut send out innumerable fibres which take in nourishment more than sutfi- cient to make up for that lust, and the soil coming in contact to a greater degree with the air absorbs more of those gases required for the perfection of the growing plant, and water being taken Iron) the atmosphere in the same manner, the want of rain is less sensibly felt.

It is generaly admitted that frequent of the surface in ime of drouth is beneficial, hut the result has been attributed to the non-conducting agency of the earth which is considered greater in proportion to the fineness of its particles, thus retaining the moisture in the undisturbed soil below. Now if looseded conducts heat but slowly the deeper it is worked the better, provided that during and alter the process the admission of air and the consequent evaporation is not so much greater than the absorbing property of the earth as to counteract the effect ot the non-conducting power. If this is case shallow work is preferable so far as the drouths are concerned, but these uo not come every year, lienee me general ywwUs touted and a balance struck before the question can be decided.

In pursuing this course, it would not be a very difficult matter to procure several hundred stakes six leetlorg. and preserve them for the purpose, nor would the labor be materially increased by putting the cocks up as directed; in ordinary seasons, too, the clover might cure without beating, yet tliero would seem to be considerable risk in leaving it exposed so long to the danger of rain, as, cocked in the usual way, it will not turn water, though in this case it is asserted that it will. (For full details respecting this plan, see Kssays and Notes on Agriculture, by Kdmtind Kiiffin, p.

or Southern Planter for dune, lNio.) Another mode which has proved generally successful is to leave one mowing undisturbed except to turn towards evening the swaths cut in the forenoon: the next morning the dew goes off, turn the previous afternoon's work, and just before noon or immediately alter dinner turn all again; cock up that evening; the next day haul in it the went her has clear, use of salt per two horse loads, and the hay will keep in good condition. 1 have been told by reliable persons that they bad seen good clover bay lofted fresh from the scythe. 1 presume however the practice is not often followed, yet it is certain that it will keep astonishingly when housed in a very green 8.ate, provided there has been no rain if it becomes once wet it must be thoroughly dried before it can be put away in safety. From nr i mi miiui uu m.iKing i i Mr HIIIMI rHIII, II is best to put it mow; iT in stacks they should he thatched. In this region the of wheat harvest ranges from 17th of June to the Itli ot July.

A sale criterion is the state of the grain the milk is all our, though it i may still he in the dough state, cutting should begin. I he introduction of Reapers 1 has llected the saving of much expense and great r.sk by their aid with seven hands ami two hoys, tilt eon acres can with ease he cut and shocked per Sell-Rakers 1 requiring one less hand. Taking into consideration the lessened expense and the sav- ing of scattered heat, the gain over the 1 jld mode in harvesting a hundred acres will be sufficient to pay for the machine. It is riot easy to say wLmse jH tho Reaper, hut there can he no loss in buying either I or if they i ire faithfully constructed. This being the the objection that they are constantly getting out order does not hold good is that they require attention every- lung must he kept tight and plenty of oil ised, to avoid racking and wear, hut if this done they will last as lung as any farm implement.

It may happen that weeks ill elapse beiore the wheat stacked; it is important therefore that treat care should he exercised in shocking; ot it be done well, placing so many I a together two ot them broken at a he band and crossed will cover the shock, open to dry, and very little loan will iccur tlie weather prove unfavorable, Acmvt.
