The_comaittee,_consisiing_otlloh....Preder— ielc Watts, and J. It.

ThirTis no art or science in the whole circle of human' knowledge, which _presents, _for.r.exploration,. im expansive and interesting a field as that of practical.agriculture„norsne.whose_discover. ins already made have been so little inftised into the ordinary stock of knowledge ofOotse Who- are actually engaged in its daily an uni versal operation. The farmer knows the no cessity-for-plougbingifis Tand, - bilt - hilgoes not sufficiently underitand why ho 'ploughs it; and the latter is quiteas important as' the for mer, that ho may know how to plough That manure will enrieltthe soil is alact ; but ta i linow what it is, how and when •tb".use it; and how. it contributes to the growth of plants, is that kind of knotiledge which is onlysecond to feet itself." The farmer has a certain a mount of knowledge otseed time and sowing; but if nature's operations in the germination Of seeds end the growth of plants were to some extent infused. into his gaily oliservations and reflections, his 'vigorous and ever active mind would strike out some new path in his own pursuit, leading to that, profitable result which can only be-attained andrelied upon, when it can be traced to the blended source of theoretical reason and practical experience. The-appeal-which-wo—now—nialte—to—thus: are -- nnw - eirgaged - in - the - business - of - agri. - 1 culture, and to all who appreciate its impor tance, is not that you shall for. moment relax those every day.ocoupations- of active life to -which you are accustomodrand which, prover bially, you pursue with so much industry; nor do we ask of you to delve, through the medi --nra•of-hookaand-laboratories,into the-myster ies Of agricultural science•, but we do earnest ly,Solicit you to unite with us, in the effort now being "male, to establish and, Cher , ish that which may be justly doented the only means by, which the farmer may be made to keep pace with„the rest of mankind, in that march of improvement of which this ago has been so prolific: Agricultural 'societies, because of the in .fitiente they have exercised, and commensu rate benefits they leave bestowed upon every community whore they °list, commend them .solves to , universal approbation:.the light ..which they have shed,, and their capacity for fur disseminating it, seemlolioint them out EIS the only active agency by which the beesi • - noss of the farmer shall ba so cared for, that -he may derive all the advantages which shall he developed by time and experience. Lot no ,man wrap himself, up in the selfish security of his Own .knowledge, or console himself with the reflectiOn, - that hie influence would - not be felt, but rather let him manfully step forth, with the determined purpose, zealously, to aid in the prosecution .of os work which proritises so much practical usefulness.

Our candidate for Assessor is a nape°, table, intelligent; careful man, ono - wh i r good judgment well cinalifies him to discharge the important - duties of Assessor. As the contest' will probably be most warm for that office, we hope every Whig will actively exert himself for the election of Mr. Mattson. Messre. Blair; Sellers, and Seder, are all youngtand popular Whigs, who deserve and will receive the dial support of their political friends as' well as numerous others. The candidates for Council -in- each Ward are equally good men and entitled to the warm and active support of the Whig party. If the citizens of the borough want our borough ,af fairs to bo managed by careful, prudent, re sponsible men, they will find _the-mon-placed on the Whig ticket to be such as they can sup port with safety and confidence.

Times, • we believe, the sub Stance of whiehlas crept into the Express, that there is, in Mr. Senator Minter's Bill which is now the law of the ,land, a slight in crease of the dutieS.onirmran,ti.,coal. There is riet one word of accuracy ih it. A The Bove nue duties stand exactly as they have been, under the Tariff of 1846, without the least practical alteration. It will he recollected,' that, pending'the dis cussionof the Tariff of 1846, prior to its pea-. page; the'Whiga predicted, that on noyor, yield :revenue enough to carry the govern ment, for which they have been' especially laughed at, as, the'result has been contrary to all such prediction's. Mr.' Walker; .the new - Secretary 'of the Treasury, perfectly aware that the Whigs wererightin their prediction, and thht the Tariff of 1840; passed July 80th wouldmovor yield him money enough-to <miry on the government, caused to be slipped, into the CiviL and Diplomatic Bill, August 16,1846, anitemi having reference to the Whig -Tariff of '1842, and substantially-reviving the ad Ca &reins of -that Tariff. Linder the authority of that-item, Mr: Walker revived in a good de gree the Tariff of 1842, as well as' other old Revenue Laws, and he issued a series of cir culars,-very stringent and very extraordinary, under which the Tariff has been collected up, to the present-winter. • The house of Griswold & Co., of this city,.and a.house in Boston, did not believe these circulars, legal, gild each ma king mit 'a case a g ainst them, the two cases were taken the last winter, to - the &pre*. Court of the United States,.and the Court in February . decided the casAslnlheir favor, re versing and nullifying • tire leading Trensiny circulars which Mr. Walker -has issued since 1846,—and upon - which ho bad raised - a . far greater amount-of Revenue than was in the Tariff of 1840. The principles upon . which •the "Supremo Court nullified these circulars made evident what, a confused mass of absurdities the Tariff of 1846 was, and is, and 'at once convinced every intelligent man in Congress that Con gress met doynething immediately. 'Hence, Mr. Hunter, a emocrat from Virginia, intro duced into the Senate a bill substantiallY re enacting, Mr. Walker's and I.k'.. Meredith's Treasury Circulars, making the _instructions under them the laws of the land. Thus there is no addition to, or subtraction from the Tar: if, as it has stood since 1840, under Mr.. Wal ker's Treasury Circulars. Iron and Coal nre just where they were, and so is every thing else. The costs, and charges, and • commiss ions over sea are to be added to the value,- just as they_have _been, _and-nothing - else. Freight is not to be added, as stated in some quarters. In short, duties and charges aro O lio put just as they have always been. . It is calculated in some quarters that the Treasury will have to disgorge something,like two millions of dollars, which it has collected under Mr. IValker's illegal Treasury Circulars; butaltis i 8 only a tithe of what_ is really_the, back duo, inasmuch as most of the 'duties cin der the Tariff of 1846 have been paid without protest. - CA.SS -BEATEN- AT E-1~ -- The New York Tribune states.thhtt Zaohlri alt Chandler, an unmistakable Whig friend of rnternarimprovenient has boon chosen to suo- Inapeclor, coed Ladieo, the Locofoco Mayor of Detroit; the honie of General Cass, lie carried every ward of the city. - Ito was opposed,hilactie! . ral Sohn 'B.

The Whig party, or Cumberland counj,y, is - composed of intelligent men who an - comp - e. tent-to think, and judge, and act for' themi 'aelies, and who'do thus.think and act for them selves. Their "leaders" - tiro. -themselvis, - _tout belong alike to the ranks of the farmer and the manufacturer, the mechanic and the labo rer, the poor man and the rich. The contest which the editor of the Demo crat supposako-have taken place in the last Whig County Convention,,, in which Major Lino was floored," we suspect only transpired in his ditemporod imaginatiom We heard of no such contest. But if any person or persons in that Convention attempted to procure the appointment of delegates to the State Conven tion of this year, they were undoubtedly right fully !'floored"—and not by "aristocratic lea ders" but by the majority of the Convention. The members of that, Convention „Welt oleo-. ted last year end had nothing to. do with the t3olection of a Gubernatorial candidate. They were called for the specific impose. of select ing a candidate for Assembly. A State Con 'Volition for themornination of a candidate for Governor is meta called, and the 'appointment of delegates to it will be the work of a 'county, convention or meeting called for that special I purpose. We think we knoir the sentiments of the Whigs of Cumberland county sufficient ly-to feel sure that they desire the re-nomina .tiOn of Gov. Joluiston.

This modest request is heeded With varied strictner. We have occasionally thought the greater or less inten sity of the gazing might depend on one 'of two 'causes—either the holder's natural affection for the dime, or his unnatural confidende in the science; but , as the dime is very firmly imbedded in the surrounding metals, • and as the science still .requires demonstration, both our solutions may be at. fault.

Does the gentlemen wish the world to stand still in the advancement'of science until his dull comprehension is keen enough to rea lise the truth of the'lletv - discoveries of the age? or is he opposed entirely to innovation?
