jjrxM, iu me jurgisiaiure oi ueoma. now in

cession at Milledgeville. Before concluding (his address, ol

ready too long, although many subjects

of great interest that might be properly

introduced are excluded, I have the ve

ry irksome task to perform, of remark

ing on an ant passed at the last Congress

Ihelanffof 1328- an act which ha

filled the whole Southern Country with resentment and dismay. The wishes.

the remonstrances of the people and their Legislatures in the Southern States, have been disregarded ; the inter3ts of a whole section of the Union recklessly sacrificed for the benefit of a class of persons recently sprung up among us, to whom grant after grant of special favours has been unprovidently made, since the close of the late war. Under the pretext of raising revenue, an act has been passed confessedly to protect manufactures by destroying revenue to diminish the public income without Iesseningpopular burthens; the effect of which, mn-l be to enrich a few villages and sanll incorporated Companies, and to ruin Slates and Communities. An act so strangely framed as to be acceptable to no one, and passed, not because

there was a majority of Congress who believed it just and wist., but because neither of the parlies who are now struggling to make the next President was willing to take the resposibility of rejecting it, for fear that Kentucky and Ohio, western Mary lard, western Pennsylvania, and western New York, might view tin; rejection of it as a sin upon their favorite candidate. Looking upon it as a gross perversion of power, as indefensible on principle under any government, as destruriive to the agricultural prosperity of the Southern, vitally injurotis to the commercial interests of the Eastern and Middle Sfafe, and fatal to the maritime power ot the U'don, every honest arid honorable effort is demanded from us by the people to ensure its repeal and to shield them from its injurious effects. It his been imagined that these objects may be effected by slate legislation. U this true? Oa the most mature reflection, I am convinced that it is not; that State legislation, to countervail the effects of the act, to retaliate its injuries, or to express our just resentment at its injustice, far from being useful, will be injurious. The State power of taxation, to which a resort has been contemplated, although

embracing all objects within the State;!

js not unbounded, it is limited by the obligations of the Union contracted to Foreign Powers, and our obligations to the other States, under the Federal Compact. No State tax making a discrimination in favour of one Foreign power over another, to whom the U. States had promised equal treatment, would be defensible. No State tax ma

king a discrimination in favor of one of

the Confederacy to the prejudice of either, or of all the rest, would be consistent with our Bond of Union. Can it be supposed, that a Cotistitution, wh ch secures to the Citizens of each State all

the privileges and immunities of the Cit

izens of the several Stales, does not fee

cure the United Sovereignties from the

momentary caprice, the resentment, or

the jealousy of each other? In the exer

ed; your advice should be given to the! Theoretical and

people to exercise the strictest economy,

to use as few of the articles manufactur

the Jaw of 1823, as their necessities will

permit ; to substitute for the manufac

and Eastern State?, manufactures of

their own households, to vary and to multiply their agricultural pursuits. Your

advice aided by your example, will have

the force of Jaw, be infinitely better ob

Government in which the States are di

demand its repeal; remonstrate in the

strongest language with those States

who have heretofore supported this

wretched system, which uses man as a mere machine, whose labor is to be directed into the most profitable and con

venient channels, by superior intelligence of Government. It is by these

means, and these alone, that the people can be effectually relieved and the oppressive system radically destroyed.

If has heretofore happened that all

the Depl's. of the General Government

to be unsound, and exercised power not

granted by the instrument from which all their power is derived. A majority ol the States and of the people, apparently deceived and temporarily passive, have never failed to discover the offences

committed against their interest and nu-

Bernard, Perpetual Secretary of 'the Lin

nun Society of Paris ON PRUNING. The Vine if left to itself shoots up too high, it bears for two or three years, but after that degenerates, languishes, and yields only slender clusters. This is the origin of the necessity of pruning, which confines the powers of the sap to a few branches, thereby increasing the pro

duce and rendering the grape more honied and mature. Pruning is therefore essential; he who understands it must be both intelligent and wary; and habituated by theory and practice to the knowl

edge of its effects, so as to be able to account as he goes for every application

of the knife; for it influences not ouly

the coming crop, but also the health o( the Vine, and consequently its future

duration and profit.

As the Vine only yields fruit on the

new wood, it follows of course that the pruning must be so cast as to keep up the low ermost and most vigorous shoots,

& must be adapted to the age, strength J

and character ot the plant, to the naturt of the soil and the mode of training. The first pruning is easiest, it is performed by clipping in entire the shoot

that originated from the uppermost of

the two eyes left above ground on the slip, and by clipping the oilier shoot close above the eve that is U ft. At the second pruning, if the plant is too dwarfed, the lowermost branch onl

is to be left; if a low-trained Vine, two

extend its patronage; r.vaiiee seeking to use the Government for the gratification of its insatiable lust. Although lamentable it is not surprising, that combined together with daring effrontery, using in concert popular catch words; forestalling public opinion by reiterated assertions in the public Journals of long exploded errors, as sacred truth, by false statements of fact, and delusive calculations; the unhallowed pair, should reach high places of trust and honor and guide for a brief season the march of Government. "Where reason is left free to combat error,1' where the love of virtue and truth, is not extinguished, the reign

of delusion is even transient. In the gloom of the present hour, who does not anticipate the coming dawn? The beams of life are on the edge of the honzm. The morning star will soon stand glittering in the sky, the harbinger of that returning day on whose brilliant light the detested offspring of inordinate ambition and manufacturing cupidity, connot look and live.

Fellow-citizens, we have met logeth-

kept low; but not so much so that the grapes should lie on the ground. It is ajfrequent occurrence it) the third season, for a vigorous shoot or scion to spring from the foot of the Vine it will injure the plant unle?s the head of it be clipped. In the fourth year the Vine begins to yield fruit; tne two or three most likely nnd able branches must be cut down to two eyes apiece and this is all the wood left standing. In the fifth pruning, not more than five runners are to be left standing; the lowermost shoot must have hutone eye; and the other strong branches are to be pruned to two eyes apiece. When the Vine has reached the sixth

If a late frost has caught the new

shoots or destroyed them, those which

no need for hurry in clearing oil the frozen wood, nor even the buds partially caught; for it is no rare thing for the lat

ter sprouts to bear. If the Vine bleeds,

length must be amply allowed all the

wood and but little be removed, all

which the year after can be properly reduced. When the mould is deep, a plenty of runners, or main brat ches may be allowed, but not so if the soil be thin and poor; in any case it exhausts the stock if there are no more than four runners with three buds on each. In a poor soil, two branches to the stump, with three joints or buds on each, are enough. In a wet loam pruning must be cautiously givea if at all. In dry years the Vine makes very little wood; then the pruning may be thorough; the Vine shuld be thinned out greatly & pruned hort ; especially if there has been a severe winter. The Wandered Wean. A singular and interesting occurrence took place in Queen-street last week. A respectable woman, who resides there, having left her child, an infant tw o years of age, to play about the door till she attended to some household duties, went when she was disengaged to look for her charge. The urchin could barelv crawl, and she

expected to find him at the door cheek. There however it was not, and the mother, in considerable alarm, called on several neighbours, to inquire if they had seen her child. No one had seen it; and, as a considerable time had now elapsed in making fruitless enquiries, the anxiety and fears of the poor woman became proportionally augmented. Parents can only judge of her feelings when no trace

of her child could be found. I lie neighbors kindly assisted in making strict inquisition in every well, pig-stye, hen roost, or out-of the way corner, for the wandered wean. He was, however, no where to be found, and as a last recourse, they then resolved that the bell

should be sent through the town. In the mean time the mother, in a stare bordering on distraction, went into her house to rummage again every hole and hunker, bed and cupboard. While thus employed one of the sympathising friends happened to cast her eves to the gable

ofa neighboring house, and there, with

surprise and horror, discovered the lost child perched on a ladder, and within a few steps of its very top, apparently quite delighted with its 4ate of exaltation. A lady endeavoured to induce the ambitious mite to come down; but no, it shook its head, and sat fast. She

then tried to go up the ladder, but half

way up her her head uecame giddy, and

stance of virtue and excellence of every kind, have originated in the middle order. "Give me neither poverty nor riches' was a prayer founded on a knowledge of human nature, and fully justified by experience. The middle station affords the best opportunities for (lie improvement cf the mind, is the least exposed to temptations, and the most capable of happiness and virtue. Virtue is nobility; personal merit, useful, generous, benevolent exertion, the only honourable distinction. The trappings which every taylor can make to clothe a poor puny mortal, add no real dignity. In ages of ignorance they

might strike with awe. Those ages are no more. Nor will they ever return? notw ithstanding the efforts of petty des

pots to keep the people in ignorance. God Almighty, who gives his sun to

shine with as much warmth and radiance on the cottage as on the place, hath dispensed the glorious privilege of genius and virtue to the poor and middle

classes with a bounty, perhaps, seldom

experienced in any cf the proud preten' ders to hereditary or cfticial grandeur.

will flow from the exercise of the power of State taxation. This conclusion is neither unpleasant nor disheartening; it is not desirable that the State should

have or exercise the power of retaliating upon either of the U. States, for the

In a middling Vine, where a bond or

pollard of three or four main branches is allowed, five or six runners may exist on each of the branches, and each runner may be permitted to retain from five

to six eves.

A low Vine with only two main branches should have no more than that number of runners on each, so as to cause an equal and regular Aoav of sap, and prevent it from flowing to one side more than the other. If the Vine prospers, yet, does not bear for two or three years, the pruning must leave the wood

long; and on which ever side it seems

least fertile, there should be some of the roots cut on the most fertile side. For a dwarf Vine three or four runners with one or two eyes apiece, nre enough to be left by the pruning knife. If the Vine is old, it should be pruned down very low and topped often.
