A National Union 1*01-1)',
The stale of Gcorgin has put the hall in
motion. Tho constitutional Union parly of
Georgia based upon the Into adjustment of
tho teirltorinl nnd slavery questions by Con
gress, was organized nt Mjlltdgcvillo du
ing thosossion of the Stato Convention, nnd
delegates appointed to attend n grand Union
meeting proposed to he hold at Washington
City on tho 22d day of February next.
The time has nrrived when the old party
lines should bo totally obliterated, both at
the North and the South, tho Fast and the
West, and that every citizen of this widely
extended country favorable to tho late com
promise, no mailer what mny, in other res
pects, Imvo been his political party opinions
or relations, should rally Under ono common
banner to tho rescuo of tho iinporiieJ Union.
Upon this itllor let ovory one who lores llw
union and is willing to perpetuate it upon
tho terms of tho compromise, lay down his
old party prejudices or predilections, hot
the name of Whig nnd Democrat be totally
forgotten whilst tho Union is in danger. I,at

freemen. The lesson that has been taught
should be moro fully impressed upon the
minds of those who, nwliile hack, snw no
imaginable virtue in any friend of the gov
ernment, no good quality in nny friend of the
Union.
There is n feeling abroad which for a time
was scarcely believed to exist. The people
of this country could not at first realize the
fact that there existed in three or fom of the
Southern. Stales n deliberate purpose nnd
syslema'ic plan to dissolve tho Union. Slow
ly, however, but'surely this idea impressed
itself on the public mind, nnd awakened tho
_ attention of tlic people Ion sense of their
danger. At first a ciyil man scarcely dared
to breathe n doubt of the propriety of the
unholy effotl. The fire-eaters were noisy,
insolent, overbearing and denunciatory, nnd
it seemed that in the confusion all wns lost.
But reason and reflection were yet left, and
the dictates of a sound 1 judgement, enlighten
ed by an excited nnd inquisitive spirit, final
ly triumphed. Have our rendurs ever reflect-

We trust that will ho organized nt Wnshing-

moving these of large size, say nil down to
the sizo of a man’n list, unless the number is
"legions," and applying n cylindrical roller
of suitable sizo and weight, the residue will
be pressed down oven with the surface, npd

removed to tho lines, qr deposited in heaps.
Uxpcrionce, during a course of many years,

deteriorated to a great extent hy the remov
al of all tho stones they contain ; although
their presence on or near tho surface is a
serious obstacle to successful cultivation,
and ono which most farmers, wlm study
case nnd efficiency, arc anxious to avoid.—
The roller, however, is important for otljor
purposes. Sandy soils can never bo proper
ly cultivated without its aid, ns there is re
quisite n degree of compression vlhich no
other implement known in modern husband
ry will confer. Tho extreme lightness and-
excessive porosity of such .lands, while it
rondors them light nnd easy to work, pro

its maximum force. Mniraro, applied io
such soils, becomes in dry seasons, hut little
hotter than so much wood j it cannot ferment,
but dries up, nnd lies entirely inactive, an
injury rnthor than a benefit to the soil. The
consolidating action of tho roller, therefore,
is indispensably necessary to induco fermen

arrangements of its constituent particles,
which onnhlcs tho roots to assume nnd pre
serve a strong nnd reliable hold lor tho main

roller is a mere trifle, compared with tho ad

of that ancient and patriotic Stale, and I know his
views upon that subject nre,unchanged. Neither the
Governor nor the Legislature of Florida then, will hw

there la but little doubt that this State will rally upon
the platform recently erected nt Millcdgevillo. Ills,
however, due to condor to slate, that the same uno.
