Home Industry Convention—Corii^s tall Sugar. 
i m 
Mr, Longvvorth of Cincinnati, is paying considera¬ 
ble attention to the cultivation of the vine, and in the 
neighborhood of this beautiful town, he is laying off 
terraces along the steep hill sides, with solid stone 
walls after the European manner, at an expense of 
some $300 per acre. He has lately discovered a new 
variety of grape, that promises highly, both for wine 
and the table. He gave it the name of Segar-box, 
because the cuttings were accidently found there. 
We beg leave to change the name, if no objection be 
offered, and to henceforth designate it as the Long- 
worth Grape. 
For most of the information contained in this ar¬ 
ticle, we are indebted to visits among the Swiss and 
German settlers, who are cultivating the grape with 
considerable success in the valley of the Ohio, and 
especially would we make our acknowledgements to 
Mr. John E. Mottier, who to his Vineyard, adds a fine 
Fruit and Vegetable garden. 
Agricultural Report, of the Home Industry Con¬ 
vention .—We have received and read with great 
pleasure the report of the Chairman, Hon. H. Denny, 
of Pennsylvania. It is a full and able document, 
and we regret we have not room for it entire, in our 
paper, but the press of other matter renders it impos¬ 
sible. We give two of his statistical tables. They 
are significant exponents of the policy our farmers 
must pursue, to secure an adequate reward for their 
labor, and the considerate and reflecting will not fail 
to draw conclusions of vast consequence that is to re¬ 
sult from the future policy of this country. The Re¬ 
port will soon be published entire for the public by the 
American Institute of this city.

It would seem almost like supererogation to draw 
any conclusions so obvious to every intelligent man, on 
looking over the above tables. It will be seen, that al¬ 
though we have multiplied our agricultural products 
within the last 50 years immensely, yet the average 
exportation of flour for the last 14 years, including 
that of 1840, which shows the largest exportation 
ever made, we have only exceeded by about one 
eighth or less than 118,000 bbls, the average exporta¬ 
tion of 15 years commencing in 1791, white our expor¬ 
tation of Beef is diminished nearly one half \ and that of 
Pork about one fourth in the .same time! Surely our. 
grain growing and meat producing states, must see 
great encouragement for the future, in the increasing 
demand from abroad of Northern and Western sta¬ 
ples ! It is quite unreasonable, so deem the abstract¬ 
ionists and politicians, that the farmers should think 
of seeking an outlet for their products among their 
own manufacturers who are willing to take them 
in exchange for whatever they produce them¬ 
selves, which we have found after 50 years experi¬ 
ence, Europeans will not do. But there is another 
conclusion to be drawn from the above tables still 
more remarkable. While we hatze been importing 
for the last 14 years over $115,000,000 annually, the 
aggregate exports from the North and West, and every 
thing in the South, excepting Cotton and Tobacco 
alone, but little exceeds $12,000,000 annually for the 
same time. And yet we wonder that exchanges are 
disordered, every department of our business paraly¬ 
zed, our credit gone, and our industry and enterprise 
prostrated to the dust! If our grovernment was not 
formed to protect us from such a humiliating and 
needless calamity, we will thank some casuits to in¬ 
form us what was the object of its organization. 
Corn-Stalk Sugar. —Five or six years 
ago, the great enquiry among the citizens of 
the U. States was, how they should procure suf¬ 
ficient provisions for their sustenance; now it 
is, what shall be done with our surplus products ? 
It is not probable that our crops on the whole 
are more productive, acre for acre, than they 
were from 1832 to 1840; but we then had more 
prosperity among our manufacturers, and many 
that are now cultivating the earth as the only 
means by which a subsistence can be obtained, 
were then profitably employed in the various 
mechanic arts. But a still larger share, from 
a fancied prosperity in their own condition, were 
wasting their time, in Quixotic adventures, in¬ 
sane speculations, or luxurious and profligate 
idleness. Want has returned a large propor¬ 
tion of the latter to the class of producers, where 
they properly belong, and disaster among a 
large number of our manufacturers, has com¬ 
pelled them to discharge a considerable portion 
of their workmen, and turn them over to the 
cultivation of the soil, unwilling rivals of the 
great agricultural interest. The country was 
sadly out of joint then, it is almost equally out 
of joint now ; but we trust there are causes in 
operation that will soon recover all our impor¬ 
tant national interests, and restore health and 
prosperity to the body politic again. Another 
great cause, though a recent one, for the sur¬ 
plus of corn, a most important product of the
