the excitement of the moment. Theses

'&• menaces, nevertheless, wore true bodings.— As the crisis approaches, they aro renewed in tones too audible to bo misunderstood.

Van Duren, the defeated enndidato for the Presidency in 1840, again aspires to the station from which he was then hurled by an indignant people. The price of Southern sup* port, indispensable to his success, is the Re' peal of the 71and the destruction of tho rising prosperity of tho North. There aro daily devolopements which show incontestibly that this is a "fixed fact." Within the week past tho Albany Argus has added4 confirmation strong" to establish tho point—if conrirmatiou is needed. It copiescoospicuously, and without disclaimer, from the leading an-ti-Tariff organ of the South, the Richmond Enquirer, the loudest denunciations of tho Tariff, and the most uncompromising demands for its repeal. Observe the following extract from an article commencing upon Mr. Wobster's plan of Treaty stipulations v: *'Whatever Messrs. Webster nnd 'fyler are proposing to effect by the Treaty, lei not bis taken off from the scent of the Tariff. We have a right to'expect RLSLIEF from Ihe next Congress. WB MUST INSIST trpox LOWER DUTIRS, VVR MUST DEMAND AN ESSENTIAL MODIFICATION OF THE BILL OF ABOMINATIONS. Let no diplomacy of Mr. Webster, no wiles of tho manufactures, defraud us out of otir rights. Wo shall have decided friends ©taough, we hope, Ho stand by us—we hope to witness the same spirit nmong them. AS MR.

term, and '^^^^d by the Whigs, er, which noian^[ advocated by the !hll Zli tionary days. On the rJ"nave a party opposed to every rty composed of the fog en^ rties throughout the Union. In one section of the country they follow in the footsteps of John C. Calhoun and hurra for free trade, nullification and dircct taxation. In another they follow Jairies Buchanan nnd shout applause to the democratic members of Congress who voted for the present tariff law.— Jn another they advocate the claims of.Martin Van Buren and tho Sub Treasury,or the issuio of a flood of treasury shin-plaster*—free trade or protection, or any thing and every thing, just ns it may happen to be popular and secure tho offices. In another section they dance and tumble to the tune of Benton and the golden humbug. In another they support Richard M. Johnson's black banner, and are of qourse in (avor of all his favorite mea?ur«Lj_*uch ns practical amnlgnma-

Now, it seems to us tfiese worthies when lliey meet inn National Convention to rebuild their party and nominate a candidate for President, will cut pretty much the same figure that was cut by the workmen at a certain other unrighteous raising in oidejl times. They will not understand ono another. Even their watch ward "Democracy!" has got to be pronounced and understood in so many different ways by the different thou, sand and one species of the great genus of Locofocoibm, that it will produce a perfee* confusion- in the ranks. By "Democracy,' Benton and his friends mean an exclusive metalic currency-—Van Buren and his friends mean Treasury notes nnd any thing else that the popular breeze may blow uppermost— Buchanan and his friends understand it to mean the Protection of American manufactures, while Calhoun nnd the South Carolina folks rm'an by it free trade, direct taxation, nullification and tho sale of poor white men for the payment of their debis and Col. Johnson and his friends understand it to mean the inalienable right to intermarry with the brunette descendants of Him.

Now when these all meet together, there will be such a Babbling ns the world never saw but once before. Theso, however, that we have mentioned are only '.ho first divisions of tbo grenl Locofocoarmy. We have suid nothing about the subdivisions of the party into State Bank and anti-State Bank men payment of State Debt, and Reptulia• lion of State Debt men Texas annexation and anti-Texas annexation men—and a variety of little bands too numerous to mention, euclt lend on by its own sectional thinking machine. These, when the clashing of more important opinions begins, will fill up the vacancies in the sound as the shrill octave squeaks of tbe little porklings All up the music that is heard wheg a half a dozen full grown porkers get together by tike ears.

We would suggest to our Locofoco friends to havo their National Convention as soon as possible-rtfo that the discordant elements of the party will have time, after this great National mixing, and before the election, to ferment and become settled* But, seriously, can it be possible that the leaders of that party will be able to persuade the great mass of their followers to "sacrifice their opinions for tho good of the cause,"or, in other words, to vote as they believe, against tlie interests of their country for the sake of elevating this or that man to power We will see.—Ntw Albany Gazette.

TUB DOCOMSXTft THE DOCUMENTS I

We call upon the Locofoco papers in Indiana, which have given circulation to the garbled statements and quibbling misrepresentations of Cave Johnson, to furnish t!.e documentary proof to rebut the following comparison between the Appropriations made during the two first years of Mr. Van Buren*s administration, when the modern democrats had a majority in Congress, vrz: for years 1838 and 1839—and tho appropriations made during tho first year of Tyler's administration when the whigs had a majority in Congress, viz: for years 184*2 and 1843. The appeal is to the records, let there be no dodging nor quibbling. .• Excess of 'rn

Had the aid of President Tyler and the heads of departments been extended to the Whig Congress, it highly probable that the appropriations for 1842-3 would have been still further reduced, perhaps to the minimum of John Q. Adams* administration, 913,000,000. Under all the circumstances, taking into account the difficulties they had to encounter from the combined opposition of Locofocoism and Tylerism, what candid man upon examination of the document* above referred to will say the Whig Congress have not noWy redeemed the pledge of economy and retrenchment made to the country npon their •km to power t—In.

"Lot the Whigs of the old Bay State tend back the enthusiastic shouts of tho great West. The name of Henry Clay belongtfto the tJnion, especially lo New England. He has done more to advance the prosperity- of the East than any other man. His wholo course and policy have been eminently national, and not in any degree sectional.

The able report o( Mr. Ellsworth, the Commissioner of the Land Office, states some' interesting facts in relation to tho sugar culture. The capital employed in the production of sif* gar in the United States, is estimated atj$9* 000,000. The avenge manuficture is More than 18,000,000 l&si, and 4,000,000 &Jtyps of molasses.

The manufacture of ma pie sugar ftas grjitly increased within year or two. ,fn SOOTS of the States it hns doubled. Many of therft possess large resources in this respect. For instance, it is said that thero are at least 3ft,000 acres of l.tnd in Michigan which abOtind with the maple. A maple sugar tree is considered worth to the farmer, from two "to three dolts rs for its sugar and there are, an nvernge, in the &ugar maple districts,abewt thirty trees to an acre, which would givefoi least 900,000 trees, worth 91,800000 probably' 92,000,003* By suffering a portfon'of these to remain, while clearing up their land, the farmers would bo able to derive much profit from them, frcm year lo year.

In some small towns in New Kngland Sta as many as 30 Ions havo been produced ring the past year. Much of this sagitr, nlqo, is made at a season of tho year when the firmer thero cannot be occupied in the of his ground, and the time consumed* Mill amount to only a few weeks each year. !lfc* pie sugar, equal to the best Cuba sugariis now manufactured in flat pans, and it jn CftSt* b)e of being refined, and producing ft very fine articlc.

The seizure of these Islands by the British occasions no little stir at the Kast. It remains to be seen, however, whether the act will be justified by the English Government we suppose it will not.

We have noticcd, ns all our renders have done, how npt matters of this kind are to bo exaggerated. How many violent seizures have been reported on the Canada bormg, which, as told, wore a serious aspect, yef, when explained, amounted to ffothing.

Nor ouglit we to forget our country's experience on this subject. On more occasions than One, we have beeri charged with similar aggressions by foreign journals, and latterly a case has occurrea Which rtay turn out to be similar to the Sandwich Island case and which caused the press of Europe to come out in a blazs against us—we mean the seizure of Montery by Commodore Jones.

ana lofty patriot, regardless of self, aad devoted to the guod of his couqtry, even in tbe midst of ctuctmny and reproach, pursues the path of duty, and patiently awaits the approval which time must at length bring.— The retirement of such a man has greater power than all the seductive patannage with which the weak, the teacherous,Vnd tho evil minded, may attempt to purchaser a mercenary support. While crowds impelled by curiosity may throng to gaze idly on the man of the hour—THE MAN OF THE AUE, in his far off western home* with no other attraction than I his mighty gem'us, and his lofty soul—receives homage ofmillions of hearts.

The point at which farmers are m«t at fault, and that for which our correspondents and hundreds of others blame ibem and with reason too, is that ihey overstock their farms—only half feed their animals—let Aeleton cow-farmers drag themselves over tie premises, and complain because these dry bones do not give milk abun* dantlv. Whejfevercows are kept for dairy, is poeMbfe sod proper—yes it is a duty—to keep them well* This can be done.—If you cannot keep fouT welt, try two the two, well kept, will give more income than four half starved ones.—The goodness of the cow is determined partly by her native properties —bat the food also has much, and very much to do, in making her good or otherwise.— Keep no more than you can feed well.—very srell,—The Friend.

To ALL POBLISHRRS OF NEWSPAPERS ON THE

GLOBS.—As it is my intention to make a trip across Ihe Atlantic Ocean in a Balloon, in the summtfgof 1844J and aa'the descent or landing of*Balloons, in tny experience, has almost invariably created uonecewry alarm to the inhabitants, 1 therefore give the general notice, that should they, during any time henceforth, chance to be in tho vicinity of a Balloon, either on the Ocean or in the Atmosphere, they will not be under any fearful apprehensions,* but endeavor to give aid tothe adventurers. 1

It must not be inferred from this, that the success is considered improbable, bat merely to be prepared for alt emergencies.

Having, from along experience mrostaUts, been convinced, that a regular current of air is blowing at all times, from West „to East with a velocity ef from 20 to 40 miles per hoor, according to its height -from tho earth and having diacotered a composition which will render silk or muslin impervious to hyulrogsn gas» so thata balloon may be 'kept afloat for many weeks, 1 feel confident, with these advantages, that a trip across the

Atlantic will not be attended with as much real danger, as by the common mode of transition.

The Balloon is to be one hundred feet in dttfmeter, whioh will grfO a Bet ascending power of twenty-five tnoussnds pounds~being amply sufficient to m^ke every thing safe and comfortable* "A seaworthy boat is to be used,for the car, which is to be depended on, in case the Balloon slloaid happen to fail in accomplishing the voyage. The boat would also be calculated upon in case the regular current of wind should bo diverted from the course by the influence of the Ocean or through other causes. The crew to con sist of three persons, viz: an jEronnut, a Navigator, and a scientific landsman.

Therefore, tho people of Europe, Africa, Asia, andUtToflrar parts, on tho Ocean, or elsewhere, who have never seen a balloon, will bear, in mind, that it is a large globe made of cloth, entconscd in a net-work, with a sloop hanging underneath it, containing the "latest news from the United Slates," with tho crew of the world's obedient servant,
