THE WEATHER . , ,
For a week past, we have had fall weath
er in earnest. On Sunday morning last it
commenced snowing and continued through
the day, leaving tho redfs and the neighbor
ing hills covered with a vyhite mantle.
During.the week wo have had several hail
squalls; but tho weather has how changed
to a pleasant warmth, with a clear sky, and
every appearance of the beginning of an In
dian summer.
We have neither space in our columns to
devote to, nor time to bandy words with,
the contemptible' Echo" of the Sentinel 5
nor shall wo descend to place our democra-
ey, or our honesty of purpose Upon a level
with his; but merely say, for the present.
that his assertion, that we have offered our
services to tho whigs for $250, or for any
other sum, is false, and without the least
shadow of foundation in truth, and could
bnly hav'e.erninal'ed from a brain as shallow
and senseless as his.

We have inadvertantly neglected to no
tice the assertion of the Intelligencer,
that Mr. William J. Iik.cler was an
nounced as a candidate for Commissioner,
withont his knowledge ot consent. This
may be so, or it may not'. Ail wo know
of the matter is, that the notice was handed
ib lis, by a democratic friend of Mr. Uteler,
as by authority, with a request for publica

THE AMENDMENTS
The Ritncr party, says tiie iCeystotle', af
ter doing all in their power to defeat, the a-
mendments to the constitution, which were
generally supported by the democrats, now
endeavor to hide their chagrin and mortifica
Hon a their adoption, by tho cry that it will
"rob tile Governor of his patronage," "leave
him but a barren sceptre," and operate do
cidely favorable to themselves.
Tho federalists ouglit to know that Gov
ernor Porter was an early friend of reform
and tliat his name appears conspicuously
among, those in favor of a convention at an
early day; and we have never hard that he
has changed his sentiments. The amend
ment;, 'although not quite as democratic as
was desired, are still much more so than the
old constitution.
The assertion that Governor Porter has
"nothing but a barren sceptro left," is well
answered by the following, from the Easton
Democrat.
1. He has the absolute ahd uncontrolled
appointrnont of al jh.e, projhonotari.es, clerks
of courts, Registers and recorders in the va
rious counties, fronvtlie lime. of his inaugur
ation Until tlie b'econd Tuesday of October
ncxl- ' , .
2. He has the absoluto and uncontrolled
appointment of all thq Inspectors, &e. in
the. city and county of Philadelphia, and
other parts of the state, with sundiy other
offices in (he. said city and county. ,
3. Ho has the absoluto arid uncontrolled
appointment of his attorney genera), cabinet
officers, and canal eonim'issioners,,on whom
no small number of offices nre, dependent.
4. Ho will have a brancli of, patronage
to an extent that no other Governor over
possessed or probably ever will possess.

SHEEP.
Mr, Printer,
In my travels through our county, I
lave often been surprised to see so few
Sheqp.in the, fields, .and those I do see, only
of,avery, Inferior,, k(nd., The kccping,of
Sheep is important not merely in a nation
al point of viewbut, ajjsp,( when rightly
managed, profitable, to the, farmer. .Your
correspondent, ppnfuclus,'' in your last
weeks paper, has proved cpu.clusivqlyv;the
necessity of fixing cmr domestic .manufac
tures upon a permanent ,uasia j permit me,
then, ..through your columns, to coupon
the fanner, to enter more largely into, the
Sheep bijsin,es., , Every practical and sci
entific farmer will tell you that a continued
cropping will exhaust t the soil, and render
it unfit for the cutivatipn of grain. Hence
the necessity of having a rotation of crops,
succeeded by a crop of clover, .which is
considered sufficient to resuscitate the. . soil
and prepare it for another rotation. This
ic, however, found upon experience, to be
HnufKcienl, and the barren. fields which we
see in every direction, is proof positive that
I am correct 111 my assertion. Manure is
scarce and dear; lime is only profitable when
it can bo obtained under fificen cents per
bushel, and, in orudr to bring our fields in
to a proper state, of cultivation, I know no
other remedy than to keep sheep. The
manure of sheep is very grateful to the soil,
and I have known fields, which were con
sidered incapable of producing grain, being
laid dowh in grass and cropped lor a tew
years by a flock of sheep, wero again rich
and fertile'. In Dutchess county. New
York, and in the eastern States generally,
tho farmers have realized many advantages
in raisiug sheep. They pay, from fifty to
eighty dollars per acre foi land, and several
of them have assured me that, when they
can obtain forty to sixty cents per pound
for wpol,.,thpy will do much bqtter than by
raising broad stuff., Thoy do .not, however,
raise sheep exclusively; but they calculate
ono sheep for every acre, of.ground that is
under cultivation, and having a, sufficient
number of acres in grass for pasture, uuring
tho summer, the rest is put in summer or
wintpr grain. Here we pay for our uplands
equal inequality to theirs, from twenty to
twenty-five dollars an acre. Now if it is
profitable to keep sheep in Dutchess county
then it must assuredly bo more so in Co-
lumoia county wnerc mo lanu is so mucn
cheaper. ,
The quality of our 3heep must, however,
be first improved, before we ea'ri jjo ipib the

breed is very small, but has tho best wool ;
the Saxon breed is larger but,, on the other
haiid, tho wool is not quite so fine..,. In the
eastern States these two breeds arc gener
ally grossed; and by this method the wool
of.theSaxon is improved, and the carpass
of theMarijio niade more strong and healthy.
I think that citlier tlie, Marino or Saxon
crossed with our common, sheep would im
prove our stock very much.
Permit mo again to call tho attention of
your leaders to my lafe communication re
specting the propriety of organizing a
County Agricultural Society. If men of
talents and influenoo would take hold of the
matter, I can assure you that lasting and be-
ncuuiiii rutsuus win oe me consequence.
