From liootlsclTs (ienesec Farmer. m.iciiT or pr:.u tiu:i:s. In one of your number?, which is not before me, you notice the general opinion, of the cause of the decay of the Tear tree, by what i9 commonly termed lire blight. ! have seen many opinions on the sub' ject,but none that I believe to be the true cause, which I attribute to the bursting of the sap vessels. I will give the proofs in support of my opinions. About twenty five years, since, I bought a lot in Hartford, Connecticut, on which there were two large pear trees; they had been neglected, anI wanted pruning, but appeared in good health, although they grew but moderately, in consequence of the earth being very hard and sterile about them. I loosened the earth about them, and manured thorn late in September, and in March next pruned them faith

fully, and their growth through the spring was very stong and rapid. During the most vigorous part of their growth, I found them attacked by what is termed fire blight. Limbs that were iu full vigor one dav were blighted the next. My first impression was, that they were stung, or

by preparing it in this way, it is one-half

less salt, and much more palatable. When butter is to be made, if a little old butter be put in the cream, the butter will come from much less churning. When soap is to be made, if a little old soap be put in the ley and grease, the soap will be made by considerable less boiling. The conversion of molasses and water is made into beer by adding a little old beer to it. A little yeast being added to tlour, makes it all ferment, and if a little of tlits fermented mass be added to more Hour, it makes it ferment also, and then a little yeast by proper management would in time convert all the tlour of the earth into its own nature. From thc American Farmer, coitx mir.vn. VlHOIMA, Fkb. 21, 1C3-1. Ma. Hitchcock: Sir As receipts for making different kinds of bread are occasionally published

in the Farmer, perhaps it may not be deemed intrusive in me to mention a way

of making corn bread, which, if properly done, cannot fail to be highly esteemed. Take one quart of flour, one half spoonful of lard, half spoonful of salt, two spoonfuls of yeast, and warm water sufficient to make a batter that will drop fieely out of the spoon. Set it in a pitcher

From the above, it will be ecen that the cause is a cuddc-n change ftom a stinted to

a rapid growth, and the sap vessels not being as elastic as in other trees, burst und destroy the tree, but may be easily prevented by care being taken, not to iu crease the growth too rapidly.

maj. uow.Mxts oRiu:rsro.Nii:Nci:. ,si:ati: ciiAiiJi:u. Washington, April 17, 1S.1. To vvj oil friend Mr. Dn ight of thc Aiio York Daily Advertiser. My last letter tell'd you about my havin left the White House," and cum up here; and that I was waitin for the Senate to decide upon my application, and-so-forth.

Well, Mr. Webster went oil next day down east, to attend to some law busincd3; and Mr. ("lay was compelled to take his ladv into Virginia, on account of her being" very sick; and two or three other Senators went off too; and there was jiat

enuf left to keep business goin, and I have been hanging on waitin till they all git back. The Gineral seeing that a good many

of the lcadin Senators was away, thought it was a good time to tire a shot ut the Senate; and so he spiung to it und hutchM nut another egg in no time, and sent Major Donaldson right up with it. I met

him comiti in; says l , lajor, wuai ts comia now is that another proclamation, or a veto, fi what is it? O, says he, ii"s nary one on 'cm; and so iu I went, for I was idairv curius to see what new name this

line ie iieu, iiie icit "hi ' 1 . x . - as the fuat, although it has ouc third1 bud was callM by, and the lutt thu.g 1

this don't beat all natur; and jist then one

of the Spectators spoke to me, and says he, Major, can you tell me how it is that the Gineral has got a new name for this document? Well, says I, I was jist thinking about it; in the first place, says I, the Gineral has got tired of "proclamations, and vetoes, and cabinet papers,' and he has hearn so much lately about "protests11 in these hard times, he wants to let the folks see he is troubled with the same kind of critturs himself, and so he has sent one on 'em up here to the Senate, to see what they think about it. In my last letter I tellM you the Gineral was hoppin mad at the Senate, for passin those resolutions, and I see how things was goin; and 1 thought the best place 1 could go to right off, was the Senate Chamber, for this is the only body now that stands in the way of the GineraPs walking right over all creation, jest as he did over the Secretary of the Treasury, and Squire Middle's Hank, for there isuo stoppin on him when lie gets a notion. He was plngily put out when he come to hear how the New Vork elections went; and Mr. White, from your city tell'd him it it bad'nt been for him and some of the members of the Legislature from Albany, the anti Jackson party would have got a majority over 5,000. 1 send you a copy of this " Protest the

Gineral has jest hatched out; and he wants the Senate to take care on't and put it along side their resolutions. 1 hope the Senate will do so, and Ihen there ivonU

be 00 mistake when the time comes for

overhaulin matters and let folks see what

a curius critter tho Gineral And I

mean to try to get the Senate to hich on

a copy of this letter to the tail on't, so folks hereafter may be able to understand

the hull matter.

This "protest" is pritty cute written; and some things are dove tail'd in so smooth, that a good many folks won't be able to seethejints; there nint oofliin in it you haint seen afore in speeches, and

proclamations, and vetoes and Messages, ony the Gineral has found there niot one attorn ofdilference between dollars and

drums, bank notes and blankets, gold and guns; its all one, he says, for its all the

property 01 the Government, and he is the Government, and its all hisen, jest as much as his horses and Hickory. There i9 two or three things among the GineraFs notions puzzles me considerably. Hcsaysthe Senate haint got no righttosay nothin agin him or pass resolutions blamin him no way: becauso the time may come when the Senate may be called on according to the constitution to try him. Now

the constitution says, that "the President, Vice President and Civil Officers of the L'nited States, shall be removed from of.

lice on impeachment for, and convicted of

treason, bribing, or other high ciimes, and

misdemeanors,1' and the Senate is the on

ly court to try such folks and Buch cases,

according to the constitution.

Now uccording to thc GineraFs notions, the Senate has no right to notice any thing that is goin wrong by any ollicer under

thc Government, because the time may

come when he may be brought before them for trial. Now Mippoeo the President nominated to thc Senate some chap

who wanted to have his offico renewed

and the Senate found out something wrong

about him, and wouhFnt confirm it and tell the President all about it, and write

it all down too in their Journal of Pro

ccedins, as they always do and when it cemes to be known, this ofliccr was im

peached well, could'nt the Senate try him because it could be shown thev had

already expressed an opinion about him?

I he constitution saw this and says when thc Senate becomes a Court for the trial of impeachments every member must be sworn agin. The Gineral saw he was sayin too much agin the right of thc Senate, as a Senate and Legislative body, and so he tries to get round this corner in the

Protest, by sayin there is a great dillerence in the proceedings of the Senate when the doors are opeo,&nd when they are in secret sessions, now I can't see a mite of difference as regards this pint and my notion is, if the Senate hatcheU a chap for bad conduct with the doors closed , (aud the Gineral says, they have a right to do it then) it would be jist as bad for him, as if they did 60 with open doors

when the time came to try him, aud I don't know but a leetle worse at any rate all the resolutions are recorded by the Senate whether the doors are open or shut. And unless the Gineral can 6how that the constitution favors thc President more than it does any other civil ofliccr of the United States, then my notion ii, the Gineral is as much mistaken on this pint as though he had put his shirton wrong cend uppermost. There is another pint on which I and

the Gineral never could agree, and we

have talked it over more than 50 times,

and that is about his removing the Secre tary of the Treasury. The Gineral al

ways used to say, and he says so agin in

the "Protest," that it was his duty "to sec

the laws faithfully executed," tvcll now,

says 1, Gineral what was the law that Mr.

Duane was neglecting? The laws says, says I, just so. Sic. 1G. And be it furthur enacted

"Protcst," Major Donalson brought up You telFd him to remove the deposited;, mother one from the Gineral, pritty nigh and he showed you the law--he said therejagiii the lirst; and rnv notion is, if the Scuwas no danger in leavin the money where' ate holds on a spell" the Gineral will go it was, but there was great danger in re- on now hatching out Protests agin Protests movin on"t to other pockets and Con - all folks all about the countrv will begia

And now we see the Gin-ion"t Fll crack it for you. eral don't like to take the consequence -s ct j Ymi ecc the Gineral got a notion, and

How of OhioandNew Jersey and Maine to 'soever, as I was eajh.g, thc Gineral said show that the Senators from these states I in his fust "Protest," that Congress had did'nt vote accordin to directions nowjno right to blame him for anything he accordin to the Gineral'a notions, the nigh aiight do with the money, or any other cr you come to the people the better j properly of the Government. Well I don't well, that's jist my notion too for public jknow yet who it was who laid the next officers are paid by the people to execute egg in Ids nest, but some ono in lookin inthe laws that thc people have made, and to the Constitution found something like it is for the good of the people, and not this "The Congies? shall have power to

ior tne omcerB aione mat me laws at e, dispose 01 ana make all ikmmIIuI rule3 and made if folks in office dont go accordin ! regulations respecting thc Territory, or

otatr property belonging to the. United States." And there is another ugly liac in the Constitution that would take a good many hatchins to show that Congress haint got souiethin to say upon pritty much most matters that the constitution has put under its charge; for alter pintin out the pozi-en that Congress has, such as to lay and collect taxes, to provide for the common defence and welfare, to borrow money to regulate commerce to regulate the value of money Hnd to do pritty

much every thing that all the people would require to be done, us you'll eco in tho C lb section of thc 1st article, it vvindi up by snying, thnl Congress shall have the power "o male all iazvs for carrying into execution the foregoing powers, and

ill other powers vested by this contitu-

State?, cr in any d-parUnentor officer then -

ojr Now, this rncin-j tomethbi, or it means nt-iMn; and my notion k, that there ami noihi'i in that Constitution that don't mean sciHitkin; and afore thc Gineral git3 threw

he'll find it will turn out e
