A prominent cause of small prolita nnd piHir success in many of our farmers, is the parsimonious application of capital in manures, implements, physical force, and convenient buildings. In this eagerness to save al the spile, Ihey waslo freely nt the bung. They remind us of the cultivator whon-auiliilly admitted his unprofita ble system of firming; Mint,' said ho, 'lain not yet rich enough to be economical.' Wo observe by a Into number of the Mark-Lane Kxpress, that the present medium estimate in Knglmid, of the capital required to carry on the business of a farm, is 8 (about 40 dollars) per acre, and no prudent man ought to mnt more limit he has that amount at least, ul available capital to go on with; for a smaller possession, wilh ample means In manage it, will yield heller returns man ii mijin ipiiiiuoy ui itiiiii iiiliueqiiaieiy siockcu. Now, some of our best farms call be bought for about the same sum that llm Knglisli farms nre rented, aiul if the above remark is applied to luirchesiiii'. instead of renting, it will constitute excellent advice tu Americans. This is a subject for n large volume; and we have only space now to say, that if the landowner has not suitable buildiinrs. the vnlus of the irrnin and fod der wasted in consequence, would soon pay for iliein; iioo uiu ioou anil uesii wasted ity exposed and shiver ing animals would soon pay for them a second lime. Tlm want of manure will prevent the vuhie of crops Irom rising higher than ihe cost for cultivating them; 'bo vynnl heavy crops to feed animals, will preclude coping enough to make plenty ot man ure. In other words a poor and badly cultivated farm will react, and only support a poor and badly fed race of animals nnd men pud in the same wny thai a lertile ami thoroughly Idled piece of land will sustain tiujmals eimufdi to manure and keep up its fertility, and men enough lo give it thorough ullage.

SPIRIT OF THE OHIO PRESS. 1 he Shtlby County Banner proposes, that inasmuch as there is a very general dissatisfaction wilh the pm-ceeduir;s of Ihe Legislature, the members should nil of litem rfjta, and give tho people a chance to signify their approbation or disapprobation at the polls. This may he good advice, but it won't be followed. Here i the proposition : Many acts of the last session of the Legislature elicited the most pointed and general condeinualiutiol the people of all parties throughout the Stale, and in some instances the" Democracy " have been much more severe than the Whigs. It is a tact, prominent and in-conlesluble, that great dissatisfaction exists with thn members of the Legislature on ihe subject nf (he tax law ; the increase of pay to members, their officers. &c. . uitd the great increase of the salaries nt the Governor, Judge of court!, and various otlicea of State. In view of this dissatisfaction, would it nut be demo. cratic, independent, and patriotic, for the present members to resign and submit their conduct to the test of the ballot boif especially as the regular annual election will take place beJiire the day to which the Legislature adjourned. We respectfully submit this course to the serious consideration of each and every member; most firmly believing if Ihey should resign, and not one in twenty of them ever find their way back, it would not be le- gnrueu as a very distressing calamity. The Cleveland Herald thus aunounces the nomina tion : Krunkliu Pierce, ol New Hampshire is the man to lead the Progressive Democracy tu battle. Mr. Pierce may imve rendered bia country great service, but it ao Ihe people are not aware uf it. We would nu-'gest the commotion of the ticket, bv placing upon it for Vice, (Jen. Gideon J. Pillow, and then the nominees who in camp-life were united, in political death would not be divided. The Cleveland Forest City tluia notices the nomina tion of the Locofocos : The great men of the party were all passed by- Tbe second class men ditto. The first aud second clas Stales shared the same fate. The great West was passed over, the centre spurned, and the extreme North- aat corner ot the Union secures the water-haul. W e can say very lillle, one way or the other about ibis man Pierce. Hia history, if he has any, ia invest- d iu obscurity. If our memory serves us right, be was uppuinted by the Governor of New Hampshire to (ill u vacancy in the United Slates Setmie. from that Stale some years since. Ho was cliosHtt hy the Convention because he was llie moat obscure mtin that could be brought forward. Having nothing either good, bad or ind liferent, he was selected for bis negative qualities. We may be mistaken in saying be has done nothing bad or indifferent, as we have an indistinct recollection that be waa mixed up iu ibe iti famous Atberlon gag rule. Hia nomination will bv, upon the whole, accepiuuie to the Suiith, aa the Hunker Democracy of New Hamp- ihire have always been tht) most aninitigoled dough faces in the North. The Hunkers of his State were no-torioiitdy federalists while that party existed. They have always been pro-shivery nud free-trade advocates it the Isaac Mill breed, the Uoustiiuiion ol that Stale ia about as bad as that of South Carolina. Catholics are, nr have been excluded trom holding any of fice. Religious tents are, or have been imposed upon witnesses in Courts of Juatico; and an attempt upon the part of the Whigs und t ree Democrats to reform the Constitution, was promptly voted down last year by the old Hunkers. His associate on the ticket, Kids, of Alabama, is a prominent ultra Southern stateBinun, and infinitely more talented than Pierce. Mug is a strong man wnu uisunionisis anu iree irau- ora of tlm Smith. Taken all together, Pierce nnd King will run well wherever ihe pro-slavery, free trade, and disunion sentiment prevails. No Free Soil Democrat, nn progressive Democrat ran touch either of them, without a base abandonment of all bia former profea-siona, and without incurring the suspicion that his previous avowals were hollow anil hypocritical. In nominating Mr. Pierce, of course, the convention -trn avAuiiragfd by the success of the same game in 1814. Because they succeeded then, with a pro slavery, third-rate man, it does not follow that the same card will win now. That success was as accidental, as unexpected. Liuhiuitig never strikes twice in the same spot. Neither will a second edition uf Polk and Texas annexation pull the wool uver the eyes of the American people. Tho Cleveland True Democrat ihus notices the nominations;The Presidential candidate has been noted, for many years, as a leader 01 the Democracy of New Hampshire. He is claimed to be A mail uf tine taleuts aud respectable character; be has figured at home as a lawyer, aud been known abroad aa U. S. Senator, and a General in the Mexican war. No man could have been or could lie moro jtartian, and no partisan, North or South, has been or is more subservient to Slavery, Mr. Pierce made the first onset against Hale, when he dared first to say there was a constitution, and a North under it, and sought to ostracise, and did ostracise him, therefor. He has been from the day of the 14 Atberlon Gag," consistent in opposing the Right ol Petition every movement to free the District of Columbia from Slavery ; and any attempt to sever the general Government from nil oonnociiiMi with that curse. He was the staitnchest defender of the Compromise and Fugitive Law, when ihese measures were proposed, and is pledged, mil only to uphold them ' by every means in his power,' hut to veto any hill which shall change their purpose, or impair llieir effective operation. This we believe to be a Irue representation at the Democratic candidate. The Vice President of the United States, W. R. King, ia a man of larger political character nud junter mould, lie is a southerner ny ninn. euucaimn auu principle , is for Slavery without disguise, yet hns some respect for what Ac considers 'the rightful claims' of the Norlh. He is not a man of a liih order of intellect, but has bad a large experience, and would be deemed, in all ordinary ulnars, a salt and pnident director or adviser. The Cincinnati Gazette says of the nominations of the Locofoco Convention: " Gen. Pierce has been the United States Attorney in New H mipshire, has served the State for a portion of a term in the Senate of thn United Slates, and was one of Col. Polk's Political Brigadiers General in the Mexican wnr. He ts about years of ase, 'of good personal appearance, of an ngroeablo aud social disiosi- Hon, ami ol lair character at nnme. " Col. King is a bachelor, and a native of North Caro lina. Ho has long been a member of llie Senate, and wa sent out by Co. Polk, Miuislrr to France. He is a pleasant gentlemau, of uncertain age. His talents have always been javoratuy estimated ana profitably used, ami be is more highly esteemed for bis amiabtlt. ty than for nny extraordinary qualities which diatiu guisii mm irom ine mass 01 men. " No platform was constnicletl for ihe party in ihe coming contest. Individual views and individual npin mns nre lett to control individual action. 1 he ' tinaliT ty of the compnimise' wns no go- and the wooing of Cubs, Huchauan, Marcy and Douglas, availed them nothing in the long run. They Were undone amidst the ' noise and confusion ' and discarded as unavailable. As lo the nominees, we think a worse ticket might have been selected from those voted fur, as there might also bnve been a ticket formed of men nf far su perior taleuts and a much larger experience in administrative duties. Hut we incline to agree with our neiuhbor Knquirer, and lo regard the nomination 'excellent,' though we di tier eniimly as to its prospect of success. Let the Whigs nominate Scott, and he stands n fur better chance of a triumphant election than Pierre. "We Are somewli.it Anxious to learn what course the South will take in relation lo ndt'rv platforms." The Atlas says i " We should like lo know what knowledge of West ern interests is possessed by either the Mexican Gen- ral Pierre, or llie old logy iHiiitician trom Alabama, king. There was some good masnu why the six delegates bom Ohio found it tiecessary to enter their pro lest against the nomination. They saw the interests nl the West abandoned, and could not consent to be come n parly to a pieco of treachery so apparent. The Atlas also say a : " Tho Locofocos in ltt-14 bmk dummy nmi beat wilh it. They have concluded to try it again; but it la a ganW that won't win twice." SOLID PRESIDENTIAL OAK PLATFORM.
