STATE OF THE FARMERS.
IN a pamphlet lately published, from the pen of Niamon, that mighty hunter, whose letters'have made almost as much sensation in the sporting world as those of JUNIUS did in the political, he states—farmer as he is, and descended of farmers—that had he now 5000/. in his pocket, and had offered to him a farm of the old-fashioned, stiff clay land of England, rent free, he would not accept it. In this pamphlet, (it is called Political Suicide,) which is written with great candour and much practical knowledge, the author makes out that farming, under the present system of taxation and finance, is a ruinous occupation. The work at least deserves the attention of every one interested in the welfare of the country, and who at the same time has leisure and opportunity to attend to political studies.
