Clat, on the tubjeel o{ Slavery emancipation, in I Kentucky, will be read with the deepest interest j by every philanthropist and lover of hi* eonnoy. Tbo anbjecl is one ol tb i greatest possible moment ftsd the aotbor .commands the attention hn!d s respect of the American people. / '£be great problem of the peaeefol; abohtion of -.‘Slavery, and the removal of the aUyea from a. '■Jhopgsi the while popaJatioo, is yet to be solved, : : and- Anything which comes from eo distinguiihed '.“*)y a scarce, bearing directly ch the subject, must be ' •' hailed with hnxiousmterWt. > Probably no man in the coontry-fs in a bettet.situation to judge and more capable of devising a mode which will meet the views of moderate men from both sec tions of the coontry, than Mr. Clay. •As to the mode suggested by the distinguished salesman—it may answer lor Kentucky, and is probably the best which can-be adopted in the pro' sent slats of the public miod m that common wealth, if not the best which can be devised un der any circumstances. Bat of its applicability to the whole Union —which is the great matter—we have onr doubts. Mr. Clay, however, does not offer it except for Kentucky. Were that State alone to engage in the work of emancipation, the work may be accomplished on the plan suggested, as the cupidity ol the slave owners would lead many, if oot most of them, to sell their slaves oat of the State before the scheme went Into effect, and the removal of the remainder to Africa, daring s great number of years, would be within the bounds of probability. But the idea, that the whole slave population ol the country, rapidly growing by na tarsi increase, can ever be removed aero** the . Atlantic, we think chimerical. Good effects, however, will grow out of the au tempt of adyone large Slave Stale to effect em ancipation. The other slave States, in self-defence, will most probably, in such cose, pass stringent laws to prevent importation of slaves from sister Slates. Thus confined in the more northern Slates, slavery would soon"became an intolerable evil, and the mre* active.. measures be taken to abolish it- The New Cocictt P*ojzct.— The danger i» now imminent that Allegheny County 1s to be dismembered—shorn of her fair proportions—and a portion of her population, against their own con sent, taken to form the new county of Monoogahe ia. It is really surprising that onr Legislator* will persist ia their mad projects of new county mak ing, especially in this case, where so immense majority of the people who are to set off from their old attachments, ore bitterly opposed to it.— We shall be-exceedingly sorry to lose oar friends in Elizabeth, Jefferson, and Snowden townships, bat we fear that we shall hare to bear the loss, nn bse th* peopla> of the county will-rara such-a. storm -about the ears of the Legislators, as shall stop their hesdioug . proceeding*. Our taxes are heavy enough now, Without losing a portion of the beit'part of the county, and thoao who go, will still be mbre' heavily burdened bythe arectioo ol new 'county bnfldinga. - Tee New Ohio Soatwl— Samuel P, Chase, Ohio, was sworn in the Senate, last Monday, to support the Constitution of the United State*.— He must have made a mental reservation in re gard to a part of it, unless be has changed hu views since 1813, when he offered the following resolu tion at an abolition convention, in Columbus Ohio. Rrsclvcd, That we hereby give it to be distinctly understood, by }bis nation and the world, that, as Abolitionist*, considering that the strength of our cause lies iu-its righteousness, and oar hopes for it in our conformity to the laws ol God, and our support for the rights -of man, we owe to the sover eign Ruler of the Universe, as a proof of our alle giance to Him, in all our civil relations and offices, whether as friends, citizens, or as public function aries, swera to support the constitution of the United States, to regard and treat the third clause of the instrument, whenever applied in the caae of a fugitive tUve, as utterly null and void, and consequently, oa forming no port of the Constitu .Hon ofibe United States, whenever we are called . upon as .sworn to support it.

DxAßi Bm—Prior to my departure from boa*, in December last, 1 behalf pf yourself and oUwr friend*,;yon bbtmined from mb a-promiseto mate a publie exposition oi my view* and opinion* up on a grave ami important question, which, it vras then anticipated, would be much debated and con edered by the people of Kentucky, .during tnis year, in consequence of the approaching tfonye* tion summoned to amend their pre*efti - lion. I waa not eoUreiy wall when I W f°“ c sod owing to that cause, and myconnnemen eral wttli, during my «0»'« “2“ i the eflecla of an .coideut which hefcl me, 1 huTe been dcleyed in the fnttlmenl <* “J framue, which I now propose to execute. . The question to which I allude is, whether Afri can Slavery, aa it now stands m Kentndry , ahaU bo left to a perpetual or indefinite conUtfuanoe, or «,»» proSn BhnJl b. m.dc,,n ih. new Con,u. ,ta gradual m.d uhimarn A tew general observations will snffiei for my present pnrpnee, wilhoul cntcricgot. Urn whole sobiect of Slavery, under all its bearings, and m every aspect of it- lam aware that there are re spectable person* who believe that slavery i» a blessing; that the iasttation ought to exist In every well organised society, and that it is evefi tevora ble ro the preservation of liberty. Happily, the number who entertain these extravagant opinion*, is not very great, and the lime would be jjtaeleasly occupied in an elaborate refutation o! them. I would, however, remark, that If slavery be fribgbt with these alleged benefits, the principieOT which it is maintained, would require that one iortioo of the white race should be reduced to bondage to terve another portion of the same race, when black subjects of slavery coaid oot be obtained, and that in Africa, where they may entertain asgreai a pre- Terence for their color as we do lor ount, lirpy would be justified in reducing the white race to slavery, in order to secure the blessings which thdi stats is said !o diffuse. An argument in Uvor of reducing the African rt.ro to slavery, is sometimes derived from their alleged intellectual inferiority to the white races; but if this argument be founded in bet, (as it may be, but which 1 shall not now examined it would prove entirely 100 much. It would provp that any white nation which had made greater advances in civilization, knowledge and wisdom, than another white nation, would have a right to reduce tbe latter to a state of bondage. Nay, farther, if the principle of subjugation founded upon intellectual superiority be true, and be applicable to-races and nations, what is to prevent its being applied to in dividuals? And then the wisest men mi,the world would have a right to make slaves of all (he re?t of mankind. It, indeed, we pos*?** tbia intellectual *upenoi ty, profoundly grateful and thankful to'Him wbi has bestowed it, we ought to fulfil all the obligation! and datiea which it imposes and theae ; would re quire *tx\ not to subjugate or deal udjaslly by oui fellow men who are Jess blessed than we are, but to instruct, to imprbve and to enlighten them. A vast majority of the people or the D. Stales, id every >ection of them, I believe, regret the mtr> duction of slavery into the colonies, under the an thority of oor British ancestors, lament that a single slave treads our noil, deplar&lhe necesity oflbe con tinuance of slavery in any of the States; regard the institution as a great evil to both races, and would rejoice in the adoption of any safe, just and praett ; cable plan for the re moral of all slaves from among | us. Hitherto no such satisfactory plan has been | preseoied. When,oatheoccasionoftheformaiioa of our present Constitution of Kentucky, in 1799. the question of the gradual emancipation of slavery in that State was agitated, its friends had to ei counter a great obstacle, in the fact that there then existed no established colony to which they could be transported. Now, by the successful establishment flourishing colonies on the western ooast of Africa, that diffi culty has been obviated. And I confess, that, with out indulging to any undue feelings ot supersiiUon. it does seem to me that it may have been among the dispensations of providence to permit the wrongs, uoder which Africa has suffered, to be in flicted that her children might be returned to their | original borne,civilized, imbued with the benign 1 | spirit of Christianity, and prepared ultimately 10 i redeem that great Continent from barbarism and i and idolatry. ! Without undertaking to judge far anjWJther slate, it was my opinion in 1799 that Kentucky was in a i condition to admit of emancipation cf her slaves; and how deeply do I lament that a sys tem, with that object trad not been then establish ed! If it bad been, tbo Stale would now be nearly rid of all slaves. Myopioionbss never changed, and I have freqoeotly publicly expressed it I should be most happy if what was impracticable at that epoch could not be accomplished After fall anddaiiberatoconßideraiioa ofthe sab fed, it appears to me that three principles should regulate the establishment of a system of gradual emancipation. The flrst is, that u should be slow in Us operatioo|csuteioas]y, and gradual; so as to nwniim no convulsion; nor any rash or sudden disturbance, in the existing habits of society, 'id- That, os an indispensible condition, the emancipa ted slaves should he removed from tbu Statu to some Colony. And, thirdly, that the expenses of their transportation to such Cqkmy, including on ontflt for six mouths alter their afrivid at it should be defrayed by a fund to be raised from the labor of each freed slave. Nothing could be more nowise lhaa tfce imme diate liberation of ail the rlaves in the Stale, com- : prehending both and all ages, from that ot tender infancy to extreme old age. U would lead to the most frightful and fatal consequence* Any great change in the conduct of society should be marked by extreme care and circumspection.— The introduction cl slaves into the Colonies was an operation of many years duration ;aod the work of their removal from the United State* can only be affected afier the lapse of a great length of time. I think that a period should be fixed when all born after should bo free at a specified age all born before it remaining slaves for life. That peri od l wouW.suggeet should be lS$5, or even 1&60 Ibr on this add other arrangements of tbn system, if adopted, l incline to a liberal margin, to as to pb naie as*many objections, ood to unite as maey opinions as possible Whether the coniraeoerornt of the operation of the system be a little earlier or later, is not so important as that a dap inould be permanently Jisxd, from which we could look for ward, with confidence, to the final termination of slavery within the limits ofthe Commonwealth. Whatever may be the day fixed, whether 1555 or 1680 or any other day; ail born after it, I suggest should be free al the age of twenty five but be lia ble afterwards to be hired out. under the authority of the State, for a term not exceeding three years in order to raise a sum sufficient to pay the expen ses of their transportation to the Colony and to provide them an outfit for six months after their | arrival there. . If the descendants of those who were ibero lave Stales, they find that labor more profitable, in tbe culture of tbe tuple of cotton and sugar, theyimav perceive a reason in that feeling for continuing slavery, which cannot be expected »bould control the judgment of Kentucky, tto what may be fitting and proper for bef interest*.-* If she should abolish slavery, it would be her du ty. and l trust that she would be a* ready, a* aim now is to jlefend the slave States in the enjoy ment of all their lawful and constitution a! rights -**• Her power,,-political and physical would be great ly increased; for the one hundred, and nmety odd thootan'd slaves and tbeir descendant*, would be gradually superseded by an equal number oi white inhabitant*,i wh > would be estimated per capitt, and uot by ihe leucral rule of three-fifths presented for the colored rare in the Conalilotton of tbe Uni ted Stales.- l have thus, without reserve, freely expressed any opinion and presented my views. Tbe inter eating subject of which l have treated would have admitted of much enlargement, but I hare desired to consult brevity. Tbe plan which l have pro posed, w-.1l hardly be accused of being 100 early in it* cotnajenceroeni. or 100 rapid in its operation It will be bore likely to meet with contrary re proaches If sdopied, it is io begin thirty-four or thirty-nine years from the ume of its adoption, a* the one period or the other shall be "‘elected for its commencement How long a time it will take to remove all tbe colored rac* from the State by the aonual transportation of each year's natural so crease, cannot be exactly ascertained After the system baa been in operation some years, 1 think it tbe manifest blessings that would Aow from It, from the diminished valor of elave labor, and from the humanity and benevolence of private individual* prompting a liberation of tbeir slaves and'ibeir transportation, a general disposi tion would exist to accelerate and complete the work oY colonization. That the system will be aUeaded witti some sacrifice* oh the part of slaveholder*, which are to be regretted, need not be denied. What gTeal and beneficial enterprise was ever accomplished with out risk aed sacrifice’ Bat these sacrifices are distant, contingent nnd inconsiderable. Assuming the year 1 Sl3o for tbe commencement of the system, all .slaves torn prior lo that time would remain such during their lives, and tue personal loas of the slaveholder would be only the difference in value of a whose offspring, if she had any, born after the Ist day of January, 1660, should be free at tbe)age oftwenty-five, or should be slaves for life. Iff the mean time, if the right to remove or cell the slave out of the Stale, should bo exer that Infling loss would not bo incurred. Tbe slaveholder, after the commencement of the ayatem, would loaq the difference in valuebetween slaves , for life anti slaves until the age of twenty-five. He might dso incur some inconsiderable expense in rearing from tbeir tyirtb, tbe issue of those who ; weie to hdfree at twenty-five, until they were old ! enough to p© apprenticed Odt; but as It i* probable i that (hey Would be most generally bound to him, 1 be woatd receive some indemnity for their services, I until they Attained tbeir majority. !

He would also liberally share in the general benefits accruing to the whole State, from tie eXtincfion of slavery.

After a day of labor and intense fatigue, 1 shall not attempt to give yon a particular sketch of the interesting and gratifying ceremonies of inaugur*, lion. Everything has gone off in the best possible mauner The enthusiasm with which General Taylor was greeted at every atep of hit progress to and from the Capitol, and while there, most have tilled him with feelings of proud satisfaction, equal led only by (bote with which he saw his army saved and the fame of hia country vindicated, by the retreat of Saola Anna at Buena Vista, on the 23rd of February, 1647. For two days past, the streets have been crowded by respectable and in telligent looking citiaeni from other places, many of whom, were unable to find even beds; but the morning-trains and other meant of conveyance - brought the throng to its point of culmination at about eleven to-day The procession escorting General Taylor from hia lodgings to the Capitol, passed through a mass of solid humanity for one mile, Otten was the carriage obliged to step, in order that the enthusiasm of the spectator* might be gratified by a more ample survey of the features of the old chieftain. He bore hia hooors modestly and graceful as ever—riding through a sprinkling of a snow storm with uncovered head, and bowing on every side with a manner that showed unaffect ed pleasure at these testimonials oi popular ap plause. Of course your readers have read the-address. It is in admirable contrast Vith thefnanife»to of Mr. Polk on a parallel occasion, when be vaonted of his intention to support the '‘dear end nnques' lionable title” of the United States “loathe whole Oregon”—a patriotic flourish, the meaning of which was Qluairated to hiaaudilors some eighteen months after, by the surrender of half of it to the British It was precisely one o'clock wbenGeneraLTaylor. took the oath; and the ceremonies were conducted with a brevity as noticeable as that of the Inaugu ral Address. The procession 'started at a quarter to twelve. The carriage containing the President and Ex-President effected a passage through the crowds m the neighborhood of the Capitol at about hai£paat twelve. He appeared on the.temporary staging erected at the east front of the building, at a quarter to one. His addresf yas and the ceremonies were concluded at one o’clock. The President and bis family willestablish them- selves in the White House to-morrow. In the time, the grand and magnificent festivities of this{ evening occupy all minds. They are the de lightful and appropriate winding up ot the lasugu rifjpelebrauoos.

AGRICULTURE. CCLTITBE AHD POKBEAVA7IOV OF POTATOES. Having the present year, notwithstanding the severe drought, succeeded in growing and preserv ing a fine and health} crop of potatoes, 1 have de cided to famish yoa with an account of the cir cumstances under which they were produced, and my opinion relative, thereto, for insertion in your journal, should you deem tl worthy cf a place there in. About the first of May, I planted five acres m the following manner; the soil was a dry. micaceous, sandy Inara, gradually rolling, with a southern ex posure; the seed used was both white and purple Mercers, principally large ones cut into three pie ces, and roiled in gypsum, and allowed to lie but a few hours after cutting. The field was an old sward, chiefly of moss and garlics; the manure applied was entirely (row the yard made from the cow and horse stables and the sties, about tweuty-five two-horse . loads per acre, spread broadcast before the plough —the >and having been heavily limed several years previous. & The planting process commenced wuh the Ullage, by dropping the pieces of the tubers, (prepared as above,) about one foot apart, in the bot tom of every other farrow, which was five inches in depth and ten inches wide, strewing them with ashes and fine charcoal, (from a locomotive, in which pine wood was consumed 1 about twenty bushels per acre The ploughing was performed m the usual manner, in lands of twenty-five yards .each. Immediately alter planting the ground was thori oughly rolled. After it hud lain a lew days, it re ceived repealed harrowing*, lengthwise of the fur rows, in the warm part of the day, which was con tinued cnul the lops were three inches in height, after which they remained without Ullage until they were some eight inches high, when the culuvaior was parsed through, between tho rows, and the weeds, if any, removed. They iben received a -light top dressing of gypsum, after which they re mained untouched until fit to harvest, which was done as soon as the skins of the new tubers were firmly set, but before ail the- tops were entirely dead. Wo began to dig about the first of Septem ber, before the autumnal rains commeoced. They were placed in a cool, dark cellar, and spread on the ground door, about eighteen inches thick, where they remained for two months, when they were assorted BDd placed in bins about four fret deep, these to remain until marketed m the spring- They have so far kept perfectly, there being no visible traces 6f disease in the cadre crop. The yield was about two hundred and fifty bush els per acre, which was a much greater product than 1 anticipated on account of the ‘excessive drought The whole expense of the tillage of this crop did uc t exceed four centi per bushel, inde pendent of the planting and burvestiug, which cost not less than ten cents per bushel, making the ag gregate cost of producing the live aores iincludiug the seed, eighty bushels, at eighty cents per bushel) two hundred and thirty-nino dollars. Potatoes of the tonality of mine .ire now worth eighty cents per bushel in Philadelphia market, which would make the net value of the crop sevott hundred and sixty- one dollar* Truly, ibis is not so lucrative as some of ihe miners of California have represented the raising of gold to be; nevertheless, I think the Mer cers, well roasted, set quite as well upon an empty stomach os gold ore, and, judging from the effort produced upon the morals and customs of the na tions iu which the precious metals nre found most abundant. I much prefer being classed with the cultivator than the miners. —American Agri tuiturut. From the Albany Cultivator. Thx Ctn.Ttv*Tio:» or nu Potato.—My own experiments of eight year* with the potato have very much encouraged me to continue the atiernate culture of sefld and its seedlings,with careful selec lions. • The process does materially improve the potato in new and excellent varieties —in health and pro ductiveness. At ibe same Ume much depends for success upon a proper situation and preparation of soil, manner of cultivation, time of planting, lifting, and good storage. Good upland soil, deep thorough plowing, early planting—-with well cultivated approved seedling varieties, iu shallow drills, early weeding light bill ing, early lifting, nnd dry airy storage, doe- more for the redemption of the potato from disease, than all the nostrums the world cau devise. Potato seed, though it produces generally several different varieties in its seedlings, will not lie likely to produce varieties or qualities with which it has no connection. If new and choice varieties* be ex pected Irora sowing the seed, care should be taken to obtain seed from good vtrialies, or in the imme diate neighborhood o| li t same.

SMITH Bcfshso, Jan. 4 ISJ9 Advajctaoxs or Thouocgu Drainage.—Drain ing, as understood thirty years ago tn England (and to this day with usj merely meant the making of channels to carry off the surface water and under ground drams to dry bogs, or cut off springs It has now an entirely different meaning in the agri cultural world Mr Smith of Deanslon. near Ed inburgh, was among the first to practico and explain “thorough draining," os it is called. Hit system is that ail land requires to be drained—-that the depth of loam or soil containing Jhe food of plants seldom exceedsa lew inches, resting on subsoil, or pau of clay, or hard gravel, saturated with water. By making drams from two and a half to five Icet in deptb.at even twenty or thirty led. the land be comes dry, air takes the place of water, every shower, furnished with a slock of ammonia, per meates the soil, end the result is. that instead of a few inches there are &s many feet of fertile loam, the action of the atmosphere being sufficient of itself to produce the change; although, to hasten the process, subsoil plowing is made part oi the system. The change produced by the introduction of tho rough draining in Britain ii raid to be truly aston ishing. Not only has the produce been greatly increased, but wheat nnd turnip* b&vc been grown at elevations and in districts where their cultiva tion was not before thought possible. Hy if crops have been rendered less liable to disease. aod harvest has been forwarded a month. This will be belter understood if wr reflect, that, when wa ter is allowed to remain in the soil until removed by evaporation, the bent of the sun and a-r, instead of being imparted to tfie.lnud, will actually, through the process, produce ah intense degree of cold.— On the other hand, were the soil *0 dry a* 10 allow the rsiu to pass through, it would imbibe heat from every ray that fell upon it. The British Government has considered this im [Movement of so great importance, that, during the ast three years, large sums have been loaned to all applicants, to be expended la drainage, under superintendence u( inspectors. These loans are repaid by annual instalments of six and a hall per cent, for about tweaty yearn; and as the money is borrowed by government at three per cent, these payments cancel the loan and interest— HoUrt Jardine.
