States took the initiative step, and took it singly.
was aimed at that,lintervention proposed by the
allied powers and at I that alone. In 1823 Spain
made a formal application to Russia and Austria
I to aid her to do this very thing, against which the
Governinent of the United States had protested.—
She asked their aid to uphold good order and legit
imacy, endangered by the progress of free institu
tions in America. This application was based
upon the principle that those powers were pledged
to uphold and suppoit each other. The message of
Mr. Monroe effected the object it was intended to
accomplish. It averted the same intervention by
Ithe Holly Alliance, and the invitation of Spain was
declined.
In 1824, Lord BrOugham said that the affairs of
South America had been settled by the. firm and
decisive declaration Of the President of the United
States. He quoted Other authorities, showing that
the declaration of Mr. Monroe was confined to the
specific point. He objected that injustice would be
done to the memory of Mr. Monroe, by extending
his doctrine to embrace other principles. He ad
mitted, however, that Mr. Monroe, in another part
of his message, but directed to a very different mat
ter said, that no more re-colonization of any part of
this continent should be permitted.
Mr. Cass said that he never heard till yesterday
that it was doubted that Mr. Monroe had protested
.against the recoloniiation of any part of this conti
nent by any European power. The Monroe doc
trine was not confinOd to the contemplated inter
vention by the allied powers, because it was to con.
tinue for all time. The reason given that the pecu
liar interests of this continent were distinct from
those of Europe, was no more valid than now. He
read from Mr. Mon'roe's message the emphatic
declaration, that EuMpe must know distinctly that
no part of the American continent was henceforth
to be subject to recolonization by any of the Euro
pean nations. He agreed with the Senator from
i Virginid in his narative of the events leading to the
declaration, bat did not consider it so limited as did
that Senator.
Mr. Soule moved that the subject be postponed
till Tuesday next.
SPECIAL MESSAGE
WASHINGTbN, January 10
The Speaker laid before the House several com
munications, amongi them one from the President
of the United States, transmitting a report from
the Secretary of the Interior, from which it appears
that the efforts of that department to induce the
Indians in Florida to migrate to the country assign
ed to their tribe vest of the .Mississippi, have
been entirely unsuccessful. The only alternative
that now remains, the President says, is either to
compel them by force to comply with the treaty
made by the tribe in May, 1532, by which they
agreed to emigrate Iwithin three years from that
date, or to allow the arrangements had with them
in 1842, by which they were to remain in the tem
porary occupation of a portion of the Peninsula un
til the government should see fit to remove them.
It cannot be defiled (the message says) that the
withholding of too large a portion of its territory
from settlement is a serious injury to the State of
Florida; and although, ever since the arrangement
above referred to, the Indians have manifested a
desire to remain at peace with the whites, the pres
ence of a people who may at any time, and upon
any real or fancied provocation, be driven to acts
of hostility, is a source of constant anxiety and
alarm to the inhabitants of that border. There can
be no doubt, also, that the welfare of the Indians
would be promoted by their removal from a terri
tory where the frequent collisions between them
and their more powerful neighbors are daily be
coming more inevitable. On the other hand, there
is every reason to believe that manifestations of a
desire to remove them by force, or take possession.
I of the territory allotted to them, would immediate
ly be retaliated by acts of cruelty on the defenceless
inhabitants. The number of Indians now remain
ing in the State is, it is true, very inconsiderable,
not exceeding, it is believed, five hundred ; but, ow
ing to the great extent of the country occupied by
them, and itsadaptation to their peculiar mode of
warfare, a force very disproportiOnate to their num
ber would be necessary to capture or expel them,
or even to protect the white settlements from their
incursions. The military force now stationed in
that State would beinadequate to these objects; and
if it should be determined to enforce their removal
or to survey the territory allotted them, some ad
dition to it would be necessary, as the Government
has but a small force available for that service.—
Additional appropriations for the support of the
army would, in that event, be necessary. For
theee reasons, the President has deemed it proper
to submit the whole matter to Congress fur such
action as they may deem best. The message was
referred to the Cominittee on Military Affairs. .
The Crops of the United States.
WHEAT-RYE-MAIZE AND OATS
Our neighbor of, the Newark Advertiser groups
together some interesting facts in relation to the
Cereals of the United States. The principal Wheat
States, he says, are New York, New Jersey, Penn
sylvania, Delaware,, Maryland, Virginia, Ohio, Ken
tucky, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Wis
consin, and lowa, The yield varies from 10 to 40
bushels and upwards, per acre, weighing from 58
to 67 lbs., per bushel. In 1840 the wheat crop
was 84,823,272 bushels; in 1849, 100,503,899 bush
els, though the.crop of this year was below the av
erage. In the New England States, within the last
ten years, the cultivation of this grain has declined,
as also in some other of the older States, but in Vir
ginia it has increased. Very little Wheat was
shown at the London Exhibition equal to that from
the United States, especially that from Genessee
county, New York, to which a prize medal wis
awarded. The Wheat from Scotch Australia was
probably superior to any at that Fair, while Much
from this country was little behind it and unques
tionably next in quality.
RYE .is supposed to be a native of the Caspian
Caucasian Desert. Its cultivation was introduced
very early into this country, but is now restricted
principally to the Middle and Eastern States; but ,
it is giving way to more profitable crops. The
yield varies from 10 to 30 bushels per acre, weigh- ,
ing from 4S to 561 pounds a bushel. 'lt has never
entered largely into our foreign commerce. In 1850,
44,152 barrels were exported. The product of the
country in the same year .was 14,188,636 bushels.
MarzE, or Indian Corn, takes precedence in the
scale of crops in Ole United States, and furnishes
the largest amount of food. It is argued to be of
American .origin. It was first cultivated by the
English in 1608 in Virginia.. The yield then was
from 200 to more than a thousand fold. The pres
ent yield east of the Rocky Mountain varies from
20 to 135 bushels an acre. Its varieties are numer
ous. The increaselof production from 1840 to 18,-
50 was 214,000,000 of bushels, equal to 56 per cent.
The increase of Iproduction in New England is
nearly 50 per cent., and more in.the Middle States;
and in no State has lit retrograded. Ohio ranks first
for the culture of thiS grain, Kentucky second, Illinois
third, and Tennessee' the fourth. In 1850 there were
exported 3,426,8111 bushels of corn; and 203,622
barrels of meal. In the Irish Famine year of 1846,
there were exported 16,326,050 bushels of corn, and
948,060 barrels of meal. More than eleven mil
lions of bushels of Maize were consumed in 1850 in
the manufacture of malt and spirituous liquors.—
In 1840 the crop of corn was 377,531,975 bushels;
in 1850, 592,326,612 bushels.
The OAT, in connection with the artificial grasses
and the nourishment of live stock, is one. of the
most important crops. It has been cultivated at
least from the der of Pliny. Its origin is uncer
tain, though the most common variety is said to be
traced to the Islan'd of Juan Fernandez. Another
Oat grows wild in California. It was brought to
this_country soon 'atter the settlement of the Eng
lish. Its culture is confine.] chiefly to the Middle,
Western and Northern States. The yield of the
common varieties is from 40 to 90 bushels and up
wards per acre. The Oat does not enter much in
to the manufaCture of spirits or malt; the consump
tion for which therefore does not exceed 60,000
bushels a year. Like Rye, it, forms but a small
element in foreign commerce; the domestic con
sumption equalling nearly the' amount produced.
The average annual exports for several years pre
ceding 1807 were 170,006 bushels. The produce
in 1840, 153,071,341 bushel , in 1850 IS 6 879 C 47
bushels.

OBITUARY
On the 16th inst., BERNARD MCGRANrf, of this
city, in the 50th year of his age.
In the busy round of our daily cares we.seldom
give more than a passing thought to the workings
of that dread monster—peath, at whose app'roach
we all tremble, and to whose power we must all
yield ; nor do we ever seriously reflect that we are
mortal, until, perhaps, amid the trophies that mark
the path-way of the Destroyer may be numbered
the idols of our own house-hold. When, however,
the social or domestic circle is invaded, and one
whom we called friend or brother is stricken down,
we are made to feel the uncertainty of the tenure
by which we hold our lives; aod,.lor the first time,
it may be, ask who of our number may next be
called away hence " to render an account of the
deeds dune in the flesh ?" It is only at such times
that we can feel the lull force of that Divine coon
sel—?‘ Ire ye always ready."
Mr. NlcGrann, whose decease is announced
above, had been for many years a resident of this
city, and we know of no other man in our commu
nity who enjo y ed a larges share of public esteem,
nor one at 'whose death more -general regret bus
been expressed; and it must have been consoling to
the feelings of his family arrd) relatives to see his
remains attended to their lakt resting place by so
great a concoufse of personabfriends as were pres
ent from the various parts of the State on the oc
casion.
For the last twenty years Mr. McGrann had been
extensively engaged as a contractor on the various
public works both in this country and Canada, and
his energy and giticiency had long since placed
him in the first rank of his profession. In the re
lations of husband and father, he was kind and af
fectionate ; as a citizen, his integrity and worth
were above suspicion ;
as a friend, he was gener
ous and reliable; and in the many rare qualities
required to make up the sterling MAN, he had but
tew equals.
It is to be regretted that one so well qualified .to
discharge the relations of life, was not longer
spared to enjoy the hints of his labor, and minister
to the comfort and pro action of his now orphaned
family ; but, in the wisu , ;iii of an over-ruling Provi
dence, it has been othery Ise ordered, and now, af
ter having received the consolations of religion, he
sleeps his last sleep, at peace, we trust, with man
and God. F.

SECOND ANNUAL REPORT OF THE
INSPECTORS OF THE MISTER CO. PRISON.
To the Honorable the Judges of the Court of Quarter
Sessions of Lancaster County:
m
conformity with the require
11ents of the Act of the General Assembly of 19th
February, 1850, the undersigned submit the following
report cf the State of the Prison, for the year ending
on the Slot day of December, last
The experience of the second in the inspection and
supervision of the Prison, while It has afforded a bet
ter opportuniti than had previously been enjoyed, for
testing-the .c Pennsylvania System," of separate con
finement adopted by the County, has suggested to the
Board no cause to change the•opinion expressed by
them in their last annual report, that it will be no
less successful in this County than it has been in the
other Counties of the State. into which it has been in•
troduced, (and has been in operation long enough to
manifest its legitimate effects) and, where it has pro
ved its superiority to the congregate plans of confine -
merit. Among its most apparent advantages over the
"Old System," as they hive thus far been exhibited,
are its tendency to produce habits of industry in the
prisoners, by rendering idleness all, but insupportable
to those committed for any considerable period of
time. and securing to the prisoners all the fruits of
their labor, above theiriappointed tasks, andrby its sub
duing in the more hardened class of prisoners, the
spirit of insubordination , and begeting in them dispo
sitions and habits favorable to submission to rightful
authority and reasonable restraint. Thus subserving
the great end of human punishment, the reformation
of the criminal, and thereby preventing crime.—
Against the accomplishment of theSe important ob
jects no pecuniary considerations should be permitted
to weigh.
The whole number committed to the Prison during
the year 1858, was 440; of which 165 were cases of
Drunkenness, and 87 of Vagrancy. In addition to
which there were sentenced during the same period.
42, remaining in Prison on the 31st of December, 1851,
45, making the total in Prison in 1852 '
527.
There were discharged during the rear. 481 prison
ers. Remaining in Prison December 31st, 1852, 46. of
which 20 are convicts. 10 awaiting trial, and 10 Va
grants. he.
The general health of the prisoners during the year
has been good. The greater number of cases of sick
ness were of such prisoners, as were received in an
impaired state of health, leaving but a small number
of cases of disease originating in the Prison.
No prisoners died in the Prison and none became in
sane during the year. .The health, as well as the com
fort, of the prisoners would be promoted Ly the adop
tion of such measures as would render the ventila
tion of the Prison more perfect.
The number. of persons committed during the past
year, for Vagrancy, Drunkenness, and Drunken and
Disorderly conduct, is unusually large, and while the
Board regret the fact, they cannot but deplore the
causes which, in their opinion, have produced this in
crease in this class of offences. They can assign no
other cause for this state of things than the large num
ber of Lager Beer Saloons, and other places, licensed
and unlicensed, where intoxicating beverages are
vended, in this County. (and especially in this City.
from which the greater number of the class of persons
alluded to are sent) and the immunity which those
engaged in the traffic receive. This class of lrisoners
are peculiarly'burdensome and expensive. They are
housed, warmed, and fed at the publiclexpense. They
refuse to work, and cannot be!compelled to do so, so
that the Vagrant lives idle in the Prison, supported by
the tax of the industrious.
There have been three escapes during the year, one
onvict, one awaiting trial, and one Vagrant. The
Onvict escaped through the window of his cell ; which
vas therefore the result of a defect in the original
oustruction of the Prison. The windows of the cells
not being small enough to prevent the egress of such
prisoners incarcerated therein, as are of small stature
and slender person and possess nimbleness and activi
ty. To obviate this defect, the Board have. since the
escape referred to, caused steel points to be inserted
into the Stone Sills of the Windows, thus effectually
preventing, as they believe, any future escape of pris
oners. The escape of the colored prisoner, who was
committed to await his trial, was likewise the result of
the defects in the str acture.
By a resolution of the Board. it is rendered the duty
of two of their number, who are designated at each of
their stated monthly meetings. to visit the Prison
weekly. to ascertain is bother the different officers, con-
Libeled with it, perform their duty. They also make
i o r a point to see all the prisoners at each visitation ;
and it any complaints, worthy of notice, are made on
these occasions by any prisoner, the matte- is instant
ly inquired into. Abuses of all kinds are thus effect
ually guarded agai nst.
'the Board made nu exhibit of the financial affairs
. . .
and of the Manufacturing operations of the Prison, in
their last annual report ; the subjoined statements
relating to those subjects, therefore. embraces the pe
riod teem the time the Prison seas opened for the re
iceptiou of prisoners, Septembdr Bth, 1851. to December
31,,t, 1552,
The cash paid out, on orders issued by the I nspeet
rs. to the County Treasurer. from September Bth.
851, to December Slot. 1852, was $1.8,877 19
Ii amount appears, at tirst sight. large.
but it must be borne in mind that iu it are
included many extraordinary expenses of
a permanent character, rendered 1.e..-
ry by the orgival defectiveness and insuf
ficiency of the building and fixtures. which
will not be rquired to be incurred in sub-
sequoia years, as follows :.
Furnishing Prison. $1.594 24

Carpenter Tools, 26 24
Cordwaining do. 27 2.5

Building Account, 392 88
Amounting in aggregate to
Leaving $1.3.563 dS
as the amount expended during the sixteen months
ending Decembetalst. IS5d. for manufacturing purpo
ses and current expenses ; from n ihich in order to as
certain the amount of current expenses. is to be de
ducted the following cash and assets of the manufac
turing department. to wit:—
Cashreceired by KeepiSrs for goods sold and
pail to County Treasurer.
Manufactured goods on hand.
Raw materials
Goods sold and remaining unpaid.
Less this amount duo by Prison on account
of raw materials. $1.A15 66
Amount of current expenses of Prison for
above period. $0,139 47
Which is at the rate of $0.804 60 per annum.
This sum is considerably enhanced by the numerous
items of expense incident to the adopting of an entire
ly new system of Prison discipline, and the putting in
successful operation of so extensive an establishment.
The Board may safely predict that the annual current
expenses of the Prison will, hereafter, be considerably
diminished. • ,
IThe progress made in manufacturing in the Prisdn
to December 31st, 1852, is as follows :
Were made. 0.5181 yds. Carpet for customers ; 5,620;
do. for sale; 6.093 do. Lancaster County Stripe ' • 806

nets; 2000 Cigars, he. This branch of the manage
ment iiiyet in its infancy. and therefore the results at
tained in the above period afford no correct criterion
of its future productiveness.
The Board confidently believe that, as the organiza
tion of the manufacturing department is matured, and
such methods and improvements, as experience may
render expedient, be adopted. the products of the
manufacturing industry of the prisoners will, in time,
yield revenue sufficient to defray expenses.
The Board take occasion. before dismissing this sub
lect. to say, that much of the success. which this
branch has already attained is due to the skill. indus
try and assiduous attention of IlaNat' Firms, Esq.,
one of the under keepers. who is a practical Weaver,
and has charge of this department.
The ability and fidelity with which Heeeur C. LOCH
. Esq., the Keeper, and. all the officers connected
with the Prison, have discharged their duties, deserve
the commendation of the Board.
All which is respectfully submitted.

Notice.—The subscriber purposes, (if the pro

of Numbers and Door Plates, which he will supply
at Philadelphia prices.

be forgotten.
Whilelt is fraud on the public ' .
to pretend that
any one medicine will infallibly cure—still there is
abundant proof that the CHERRY PECTORAL does
not only a general thing, but almost invariably cures
the maladies for which it is employed.

As time makes these facts wider and better
known, this medicine has gradually become the
beet reliance of the afflicted, from the log
cabin of the AmOrican Peasant, to the pal
aces of European .Kings. Throughout this entire
country, in every State, city; and almost every
hamlet it contains, Cherry Pectoral is known as the
best remedy extant for diseases of the Throat and
Lungs, and in many foreign countries, it is coming
to be extensively used by their most intelligent
Physicians. In Great Britain, France and Germa
ny, where the medical sciences have reached their
highest perfection, Cherry Pectoral is introduced,
and in constant use in the Armies, Hospitals, Alms
Houses, Public Institutions, and in domestic prac
tice, as the surest remedy their attending Physi
cians can employ for the more dangerous affections
of the lungs. Also in milder cases, and for chil
dren it is safe, pleasant and effectual to cure. In
fact, some of the most flattering testimonials we
receive have been from parents who' have found it
efficacious in cases particularly incidental to child
hood.

tad wo. as should commend itself to their con
fidende—a remedy at once s-fe;.speedy and effect
ual, which this has by repeated and countless trials
proved itself to be ; and truce by great care in pre
paring it with chemical accuracy, of uniform
strength to afford Physicans a new agent on which
they can rely for the best results, and the afflicted
with a remedy that will do for them all that medi
cine can do.
