In this case the wild vines Of the woods, chicken grapes, ac. may be taken for stocks with great advantage. In this theory we have for our support at least one powerful auxil- liary, common sense. The stock Of the lengrafted plant is naturaIized to the soil and climate, and can therefore nourish and support the tender stranger; while, # the whole tree be imported, # wastes it's strength and dWindles in its efforts to accommodate itself to astrange climate and to obtain support in a strange soil. The two cases may be aptly compared

 We have thrown out these hints with great deference to the more extended experience of our readers, with hope not so much that they will be taken as guides to a more useful practice, as that they will elicit investigation and suggest experiments from which the end will be obtained; and We solicit the opinions of experienced and practical men on the subject.

 The following article is from the Ma tional Intelllgencer. We scorn to aim shaft at fallen man, as is the Duke d. Angouleme at this. moment. But the anecdote is one which ought to be plac. ed on record, IS worthy example ef decision and firmness in an American public Officer, when menaced by an enraged foreign populace, instigated by the minions of q despotic Government.

 AMERICAN SPIRIT.

 It appears by recent arrivals at New York, that Charles A. with his family and suite, were to embark at Cherbourg in the American ships Great Britain and Charles Carroll, for Scotland. to occupy their old habitations. Thus they are forced to take refuge under the American flag, which the Duke of Angouleme took so much pleasure in venting his Royal slpeen against some years ago, in Bordeaux. We well re- collect the outrages our fellow-citizens received in that city, both on the access sion of the Bourbons, and on their re turn with the baggage of foreign mel cenaries, after the hundred days reign ofNapoleon.

By order of the Govern or, all the inhabitants, on the firing of the salute, were to hoist the white flag. The foreign Consuls stuck it up by the side of their own.
