Senator Tipton says tint 44 by reducing Michigan and adding to Ohio we but make the weak weaker and the strong st longer,"" and that "her power is already o rshadawing her sister st.Ves in the valley of the Mississippi," and "to w hat other tribunal," says the honorable Senator, 44 should the territory look wilh nch confident hope of protection against cncioat hments. as to the Senate of the United States V The Senator must hare strange views indeed, win n speaking of this greal family of States and Territories, lo talk of taking Territory from one and ad ding to another to produce weakness on one side and strength on the other, or to sav that one must not hold a small tract of 1 md almost . indispensable to enable her to perfect a great public walk, kr she i already overshadowing her sisters in the valley of the Mississippi, are! therefore. 1 suppose be wished to have il understood lh-t thtSenate ought to curb her in her onward course, for to that body Michigan looked for protection. Were I to speak of matters in which any one or all of the states might have an interest, I should never think of using such language, for to me it seems more like speaking of the di lie rent sovereignties of F.uiope, where they thii k their interests are entirely separate and unconnected, and such language is certainly calculated to generate feeling rattier unpleasant than otherw ie, and J never should we use any other than which will at all times create fiiendly feelings, for surely when we ribth uiulci stand things we shall find that the interest of one state is the interest ol the whole Union in nil great loading pimcii lcs; but inasmuch as we ba e thought il best to have independent states so far as the direction of local i-i aH'Ts may be concerned, and as making internal improvements within the statts has bc-.eii mostly considered a the business of btate. soveieignties and l ot the r: ::cr;.l covetnmenf.it is highly

Initiation however to the boundary line between Ohio and Michigan, Oiiio has considered from the first formation ol her state government that her natu ral boundary extended to the most northerly cape of the. Maumec Day. She w as then no doubt looking to it, as the outlets for the produce of the North Western corner of the United States were but little thought of, and if it was important to tier under that view, what must it be now ? Ohio in her constitu tion, says "with the assent of the Con-gres-of the United States the northern boundary of this State shall be estab I -....I ,..:!. it,;, .. . ... .... i . . ,i. . it..: nun miu n;is nu iuu lino me i,'iiim - which was ic.dlv a tacit acknowledge-1 ment on the part of Congress that to a point thus far north, she should held.

Two States did I sav? it should have been three, for so far as loss by tolb may be concerned the great state ol New oik will lose much, for were the Wabash and Frie canal and the Miami and F.ric canal now completed MilViciently low to meet at all times the vessels of thc Lake, thi business on the ;;:'c;"it Mrie canal of New York would be nearly double what it now is consequenily the interest of every portion of that state must be injuriously atfected and that great commercial emporium of America, the city of New York, w ould be very deeply injured. And such portions of the states lying south west and west of us as would find il convenient to trade through the Wabash and Frio canal, and the Miami and Erie canal, will to a certain extent receive injury: therefore it is plainly to be seen, that had our Senator taken a national view of the boundary question, he would have acted very dillerenllv. No less than four millions ol the present popu la'.ion of the United States are interest ed in having that matter so adjusted that there v. ill be no broken link in the uniting chain between the southern termination of the Wabash and Erie canal and the Miami and F.rie canal nd Lake M:!'1: will it not be the duty thr members f'F Congress t" Ol from Ohio and Indiana, vl! t also of New York, early in the next session e Von gross to make an dibit to have the boundary established to that point lo which Ohio claims? INDIANA FARMER. THE WEST. IV. Reecher, of Cincinnati, preached two powerful sermons in this city on the state ai.d prospects of thc Mississip. pi Valley. That vast and fertile reuion, which already contains a populaj tioa of near 5,000,000, he estimated to j be capable of supporting a population i of :;O0.O00,OO0. Looking forward to j the morals and political condition of its i inhabitants 50 or 100 years he nce, and ! considering the efforts wbirh arc ina- ! king by foreign agencies, civil ami reli ! gious, to gain the control of that HioJm j of the nation' as I )r. Reecher called it. the energies of his mind found ample scope for exertion, and he w ielded them with surpiiMiig ellect. His immediate object in vi-iting this part of thc coun try, was to oUtain thc means of erecting bli-hing a new Professorship and pro curing a Library. Thc two first of th se objects ho has already accom phshed. The fundii for the Chapel
were given in Boston, which was all he intended to ask of that generous people. But just ns he was about lea
ving, a gentleman cltercd ,7,500 to wards the Professorship, on condition that a like amount, being the sum necessary lo complete . s!:0ld he raised within thirty days. Un passing through Worcester, he called on a wealthy family there, four members of which subscribed .$1000 each, and the remaining S.3,500 was given in Hartford. Tor the Library he looks principally to the citizens of New Yoik. In his discourse on Sunday, he expressed his decided opinion that clergymen and teachers for the Western Valley should be educated in the Valley itself. The materials, he said, were ample, and of the very best kind. Nothing but the want of means to afford the necessary accommodations prevented the Lane Seminary from having at this moment, GOO students, instead of 100. lie complimented highly the intelligence and enterprise of the West, and ridiculed the idea, too common at the Last, that clergymen whose limited qualifications render them unacceptable in New England or New York, would do for the Mississippi Valley. There was no people, he said, more quick to discern, or more ready to appreciate, real merit, than the citizens of the Valley, and none, on the other hand, more di nm h In m nnscd nnon bv rteiie.-.l mn;c r i ii.n.o. lx- Y.Jour. of Com. FEMALE I. V It OK. It is slated that in the town or township of Franklin, near YVrentham, Mass. containing a population of about 1,700 persons, the value of Ihe straw hats manufactured by the females is between 75,000 and 80,000 dollars a year! some of then: having icaliscd handsome fortunes by thci." personal industry. No other pursuit, perhaps, atlords so large a sum to each person employed as these beautiful manufactures so happily fitted for females, and rendering thousands of them independent. There are many other branches ;i( business suited to them and we earnestly hnvc that public spirited in dividuals will every where endeavor to meliorate thc condition n poor lemales. nrnlinne nr "vidrnve. w furilla. them with proper employments. In straw and lace work, and several other of the most delicate operations, thev urcady excel; but other pursuits are needed the supply of female labor far exceeding the demand for it. We should think that the manufacture of leather gloves might be advantageously carried on, and give food and comfort to manyscanty fed and desolate individuals. It is enough to make a man's heart bleed to know how miserably poor women (beads of families) live, even when sup plied with as much common sewing as they can do. The prices received will hardly 4keep soul and body together.' I he venerable and good M ilhao Carry, has made, great efforts in their behalf but we think that relief is to be obtain ed only in the establishment of such manufactures as they can carry on at their own houses in which even small children, alwavs requiring the mother's care, may be made useful, and earn, perhaps, their own subsistancc. And this is more necessary in the middle, western and southern slates, than in the. eastern. The former abound with colored women, free persons or slaves, and it is on these mainly that we have to depend for 44help" in our household nlfairs, for the reason thai white females are repugnant to the performance of such duties as are generally assigned to people of color. Where there are but few of the latter this is not the case ; and, in most instances, white hirelings doing Ine house work are rather treat ed as assistants than servants, and eniov many j.riy'h-'ges or liberties that prejudice w ill not nlio-v iZ :C.rsons of color which privileges, however, always extend when families are made up exclusively of white persons; but circumstanced as we are, such things are very uncommon, unless in small families: and thus one employment, through pre judice or practice, is chiefly cut oil irotn many females to whom it might be well suited, and every way fitting. JVYcj. The Poles. Three of the exiled Poles, to whom Congress at its last session granted a township of land, arrived at Chicago on the 7th instant, on an excursion in quest of a location. A public meeting was held at Chicago immediately on their arrival, at which it was resolved "that the hospitality of me town ot Chicago be respectfully tendered, through the Roard of Trus tees to the Polish exiles now in said town." Committers were appointed to receive donations for the benefit of the Poles, to invite those remaining in New ork to visit Chicago, and to address a circular to the citizens of this State, soliciting for the. unfortunate exiles their civilities and attentions.
LA FAYETTE'S :UAE. i Where rest the mortal remains of La Fayette? He is interred in the garden of the house No 15, of the street I 'ictus. This house is occupied as a Young Ladies boarding school, under the direction of the Ladies of St, Sacra
ment. J o reach the place where repose thc remains of La Fayette, it is necessary to traverse a large yard, then enter a vast enclosure, bordered on the southron side by a beautiful avenue of lindens (tilleuls.) Then follow this shaded alley, until neurits extreni- J ity, you turn into an enclosure more narrow, which leads you to the gale ol the Cemctry of Picius. This (V.metry is 10 meters (31 8-10 Knglish feet) wide, and 50 meters (IGI feet Knglish) in length. An alley divides it in two parts, and each part is divided into 100 sepulchres, belonging to as many families. In this Cemetry are some beautiful monuments. The sepulchre of the La Fayette family, which is the most simple, is also the last at the bottom of thc Cemctry, in the angle formed by the junction of the walls to (lie south. Two extremely modest grave stones may be remaiked. The first on w hich there is no inscription, covers (he ashes of Madame La Fayette, and under the second reposes Virginia La Fayette, daughter or the General, and who died thc wile of M. Lasteyrie Dusuailant, as is shown by the inscription. The body of the General lias been interred by the side of Madame La Fayette. A small hillock of earth newly' dressed, and of a certain color, indicates that il is there where reposes all that now remains to us of that venerable citizen that France and the whole world has lost. The earth that forms thc hillock was brought from America. NEWSIWFEKM. The Nantucket Inquirer, in alluding to the low price at which newspapers are li.ow published, and the disposition that is manifested by many to cheapen or undersell, rcinarks with great justice: ''It is Ibis, which has rendered the publishing trade unprofitable to thousands of operatives and ruinous to many adventurers. Such being the result in numerous cases, the craft itself has in some degree become discrcdila--'lc or disreputable. It is this di tion, i:4 lrt, which keeps the jon jonrncyman Print 'r poor, and the editor's nose at the grindstone forever. The bare paper as it comes from ihe mill, which goes lo turiusli a subiCrioer wnn upwards of 300 printed sheeJs per annum, at 1, costs at least two thirds of that sum. What then is left for thc poor workingman's wages, but the merest pittance what for thc publisher, or editor, but his labor for his pains? Nearly one fourth of the aggregate amount of newspaper subscriptions throughout the United States, we have no doubt is never paid, and the proprietors are consequently cheated out of nearly all upon which they fallaciously depend for subsistence. Ihe fault is in some mea sure attributable to lliat spirit of cheap ness, fabely called competition, which is not only destructive to these who engage in it, but highly injurious to others. It is lime that printers and publishers of this country take this suhject into serious consideration." DIKECTIOXS, Taken from an Act passed iti the Slate of Js)uisiana, providing for the inspection of Jieef and Pork m thc city of JVricOrleans. Mess Pork must be composed of the choicest sides of well fattened hogs neither flanks, tail-pieces, or any part of the shoulder w ill be admitted. Prime Pork. Three shoulders, with the shanks cut off at the knee joint, one head and a half, divested of ears, snouts and brains: the balance to be made up of sides, necks p.r.d iail-pieccs, say a sunicieney ef side pieces to form the first and last layers in the barrel. Cahoo Pouk, may be made of any parts of the hog that can be considered merchantable pork, with no more than lour shoulders and two heads in a barrel: shanks, ears, snouts and brains excluded as in prime. The hog ought to be cut from thc back bone lo the middle of the belly, in pieces not more than six inches wide, and packed in the barrel edgewise. Mess Heef must be made of the brisket and choicest sides of well fattened cattle. In a barrel of Prime Reef, there must not be more than thc half of a nec k, two flanks and two legs, cut above the knee joint; the balance to be choice pieces, with a sufficiency of good side pieces to form the upper layer. In a barrel of Cargo Reef, there must be a proportion of good pieces, with not more than the one half necks, three flanks and two legs cut as in prime. The beeves must be well fattened with corn, and cut in handsome square pieces, not to exceed twelve, nor lo be less than four pounds in weight.
The barret must he made of good seasoned white oak or w hile ash, to be eighteen inches between the chimes, full on Ihe cants,-and twenty-eight inches long, swelling gently towards the centre and to be free from every defect A quarter bound barrel, with only twelve substantial hoops en if, is lawful,but on a full bound barrel, at least eighteen hoops will be necessary. It is provided by law, that no less than two pecks of coarse salt, shall he put in each barrel of Reef and Fork, besides pickle, to be made with as much
salt as the water will hold in solution; but it is to be observed, that beef requires a greater quantity of salt for its preservation, than Fork; and where only a half bushel is used in packing, it is rather doubtful whether, on reaching New Orleans, there would be a sufficiency remaining undissolved in the barrel to justify the inspector in branding it without changing its condition. Il is also provided bv an act passed the IGth March, 1 S.30, 4That all salted beef and salted poik, which shall be brought to New Orleans, in casks, barrels, or half-barrels, and intended fer sale therein, shall be subject to inspection,"' and that if such salted beef or pork be sold or offered for sale without inspection, the same shall be liable to forfeiture, and condemned to be sold in the name of the state, by order ef any court of competent authority. IIys,the Police Officer. Joseph T.j. Hays, thc New-York Police Officer, who recently died in this city of cholera, was worth 20.000 dollars." He was a distant relative to 44Ohl Hays," as the High Constable of New-York is called, and was in early life was a storekeeper, lie afterwards was attached to the Police Office, where he. did business -on his own hook,' as il is termed that is. In; employed few or no "stool pigeons." During the ten years that he was a police officer, he is said to have realised nearly fi0,000 dollars. He left the Police Office a few years since, and although he still held his Marshal's warrant and officiated at Niblo's Garden, y et he was principally occupied as an agent for the firm of Ilendrfques Sc Co. and buy ing and selling land estates. He was alive and well in New York on Friday morning at 9 o'clock, at which hour, say s the New Nork Transcript, we were conversing with him in the Police Office about the cholera in Philadelphia, whither he was going; he expressed his fears that he might fill a victim to it, and on Saturday noon he was a corpse. Phil Inq. The editor of the St. Louis Advocate is of opinion that it is impossible to sustain a paper without money ! lie must be mistaken, we think, only let him ask some of his patrons for the payment of their subscriptions, and will find by their false promises, that they differ with him in opinion. A printer's bill ought to he last paid. Why? Because they work hard, charge moderate, and give a long credit. Er.S. Post Msteu TiE.Movr.n. William Swcartout, Post Maste r of Kendall Hollow, N. V. removed himself with another man's wife, from thai place, leaving his own w ife and eight children as deputies during his absence. A schoolmaster in New York has been put under 5000 bonds lo keep the peace for having attempted to fight a duel with a young navy officer about some fair damsel. Ry a recent arrangement among the agents of the Liverpool packets, cabin passengers arc lo have their option to pay S't'10 and be furnished with wines, or 120 without. Nothing escapes being converted info money making purposes, among thc list of shows for wonder seekers at Cincinnati, is David Crockett, in wax, "in a beautiful forest room, surrounded by a great number of wild animals.'' A Portland paper says, that you might as well undertake to hold a live eel by the tail, as to corner a Phrenologist in argument. A German paper mentions the fact that of COO gamesters at Hamburg, 300 committed suicide, 100 ended their career swindlers or highway robbers, and thc remaining 200 by apoplexy, chagrin or despair. We see it stated, that the authorities of Rremen had instituted enquiries, by which it is ascertained thai thc number of persons w ho had arrived in that city in June, for the purpose of embarking for America, amounted to sixly thousand. An apothecary, who prided himself on his knowledge of drugs, asserted in company, that all bitter things were hoi. 4'No," said a gentleman present, "there is one thing of a very different qualify, a bitter cold da v."
