Who “J^liwourag (‘d SowiHsion.” The Radicals believe that they demolish the entire Democrtic party when they say that Nor¬ thern Democrats encouraged secession aud are responsible for it. They make this charge in the noisest manner whenever they are hard pressed about taxation, expenditures, anil the increase of the public debt, and asDelmar has recently given them a terrible blow, with one accord all tho Radical spouters and scribblers shout at the top of their voices tat the Democratic party of the North advised the Southern States to secede. We remember pretty accurate¬ ly the history of secession. w e remember what occurred before and after our ordinances were passed and with the exception of Dan E. Sickles, B. Buttler, John Cochrane, Jonn A. Logan, Edwin M. Stanton, aud one or two others of the same stamp but a size smaller, we do not re¬ collect a single Northern Dem¬ ocrat who encouraged secession Many Northern Democrats be¬ lieved that if the Southern States should secede there was no Constitutional power vested either in the President or Congress to coerse them to remain in the Union, but the worthies we have named alone encouraged secession, patted us ou the back and told us to go ahead that they would stand by us. It is satisfaction to us iu our misfortuue to know that every one of these advocates of seces sion abaudond us in the hour of trial. They are now among the Radicals, where fche$ belong, and where we hope they will remain unril they join Thad. Stevens. But while the Dem ocats did not encourage or advise secession, we cannot say the same of our friends, the Radicals From Ben Wade t0 1 Horace Greely, the Radicals in-I sisted that we had a clear right ^ ' to secede and to secede in peace, and that they would resist the adoption of any measures to coerce or prevent us. We know that Greely would say we are “liars,” and that Ben Wade would say we are,,— lavs, , if could we not adduce the proof to .onyiefc them botl , Me will cite, therefore, the fol ° W,D f_ f r°“ the Gongres sional Globe s report of aspeach made in the Senate bv J Mr * •«r d e “I am not one of those who t would ask them to continue in ! such a Union. It v ould be do ing violence to the platform of the party to which I belong We have adopted the old Decla¬ ration of Independence as the basis of our political move¬ ments, which declares that any people, when their government ceases to protect their rights— when it is so subverted from the (rue purposes of government as to oppose them, have the right to refer to fundamental princi¬ ples, and, if need be, to destroy the government under which they live, and to erect on its ruins another more conducive to their welfare. I hold that they have this right. I will not blame any people for exercising it, whenever they think this contingency has come* * * You cannot forcibly hold men in this Union,for the attempt to do so, it seems to me, would subvert the first principles of (he gov¬ ernment under which we live.” Mr. Horace Greely, who, thank goodness, has never been supposed to be a Democrat encouraged secession in the fol¬ lowing language, before South Carolina thought of seceding: “If the cotton States shall be¬ come satisfied that they can do better out of the Union than in it, we insist on letting them go in peace. The right to se¬ cede may bo a revolutionary one, but it exists nevertheless.* We must ever resist the right of any State to remain in (he Uniou aud nullify or defy the laws thereof. To withdraw from the Union is quite another matter. W henever a consider¬ able section of our Union shall deliberately resolve to go out. we shall resist all coercive meas¬ ures designed to keep them in. We hope never to live in a re¬ public whereof one section is pinned to another by bavonets. The principal organ of Ohio Republicanism in 1800 was ex¬ ceedingly encourageing. It said: “Now if any State or States wish to renounce the ben¬ efits of this general protection, how can they bo compelled to continue the recipients of such advantages? The Cotton States are not rebelling against the Federal authorii.es, nor nullify¬ ing any general or particular law. They simply request to be released from the Union com pact, To coerce them to re¬ main in the Union, by the*force of the United States Govern¬ ment, is to entirely change the nature of Federal authority. 4 will be to make the Federal Governmant, not a representa¬ tive of the States, their instru¬ ment iu providing for the com¬ mon defence, &c, but a superior, centralized power, having an existence independent of the States, We regret being com¬ pelled to take this view of the matter, but it seems inevitable.’ We might cite other encourage ment from Republican sources but we think we have given e nough t0 prove that *' he Re P ub ~ *‘ cans > !lu< I not tne Democrats, encoura 8 ed secession. The few Democrats who encouragedse ce8s * ou i oined tbH Radicals f ° r hire and P er fi u ’sites, and we wish the Radicals joy of their acquisition. We are so poor and weak now. it would be utter ruin to count Sickles, Butler, and wretched John Cochrane, among ’ our friends. > * e are grateful that our Northern friends, although they did not encourage £ seees sion , belong to a wt ly dif _ feient class than that to which these heroes belong.—This ar tide is taken from t he old ‘ At ‘ lanla A - WeobW * I„* n telugencer, 0 ,r i .published , IU IS68.

MANY QUESTIONS ARE ANSWERED Arm CeBOhes Repruducoil From the Seed T Question. —I have had little experi¬ ence in the propagation of peach trees, bat I can remember when my grand¬ mother always saved and planted every unusually fine peach which she came across during the summer. Her or¬ chard was mostly from seedlings aud I don’t think I ever saw a finer one. But lam told now that seedlings cannot be depended upon to reproduce themselves. Ia this true, aud is there any assigned Mason for it? Answer —Formerly in nearly every part of this state there were good varie¬ ties. which were kept up from the seed, but front neglect aud other causes they have deteriorated, and today if wo wish to propagate a particular variety we must depend on buddiug and graftiug to produce certainly what we wish. The seeds from all cultivated or¬ chards have a ctrong tendency to revert to the original wild type, which Was very inferior as to size uti l quality, being little more than a ’arge seed cov¬ ered with a thin layer of flesh. Besides, the blossoms from one tree may be fer¬ tilized from those of another and per¬ haps different variety and there are al¬ ways these uncertain ties attending the propagation of a peach from tho seed. We have tried the experiment and suc¬ ceeded iti producing a thrifty young or¬ chard of seediiugs from extra fiuo peaches, whose first crop of fruit proved them, without a single exception, to be utterly worthless. — State Agricultural Department. lAitt«tr«tit Vitrietiflt »f Uovr I’ttai Fof Dif¬ ferent rurposM. Question.—P leas 3 toil me what you ooiitmier the best variety of cow P6a8 I for hay, also for turning under, and for the other u>es to which this crop is put. Of the 50 odd varieties raised, I suppose a good many posses the same character istics. What I wish to know is the principal varieties and then- uses. Answer.—T he selection of the va¬ riety for planting should be determined by the use for which tba crop is de¬ signed. If a heavy yield of hay is the principal object, the more vigorous and 1 * te maturing upright varieties, such as n,,k,,ow, ‘ ill!d wl,i! ’ !,orwU1 ’ should b#used ' of tll9se the u ' lkMOwn u cer ' talnly one of the best, but if to be cut f or i, n y should not bo planted too early, * B if, finally becomes so trailing us to be difficult to cut with a machine, aud it produces less seed wheu it has too long • season for growth, If the crop is to be'pastured, or is to left to uecav through the winter ou the surface of the ground, trailing va rieties should be used; the unknown, black and red ripper being among the best. For this purpose they should be pltnte<1 as early , IS possibl8 . For stock peas, black, clay, speckled °«>wder , ami , unknown , have given us ,h ® U ® a J l09t ymids; but if peas are wanted for table use the largj ami small lady, sugar and buckeye will be among the best. One of the common methods of grow *■* P*™ 8 is to pl,,nt them ,>9tween the rows of corn at the time of giving *ne last cultivation. Iu this way a crop i,,ecurfid " hicU costs : ‘ b ’ oiuIelv noih ' ing except for the seed and sowing, aud which may be relied upon for a cotiiid. arable amount of seed and grazing, aud •» . the . same time wiU ... make , a cheap , aud « •®* c t' ve fertilizer for the succeeding crop. In some cases the peas and oora bava been planted at the same lima, ia hills, but we have rarely found the practice economical. If running v« rieties are used they tie cornstalks to so as to materially reduce the com as to make but hole growth. y ho " pIan,ed l «* ce " the TOW ‘ *“ ; Jnna or Jul V ,he >' ^ in th * ir ! - « row,h afWr f ‘ or » to ,nd the corn cro,,,s Kath6red 1,efore * he vines are largo enough to be trouble KKP. thig W"j it cannot well be cut for hay, but will usually make a good yield of seed, and will afford a large amount at most excellent grazing for either cattle or lioga. For sucli late grazing the black and the red ripper are among the best varieties, as the peas will iie on the ground a long time without injury.— State Agricultural Department. Urot Mijfiir. Question.—I ;* dllily notice about the a Rood feasibility deal In |h papei y of onr farmers b>ing sm-ctsu'ui m the cui tivatiou of beets for sugar. What ia opinion on this subject, and would » rtvise who »•“=* suitable laud to go into the business or cultivating beets for market? Answer. -As suitable laud is only one of the many requi.-ites for success b«et culture, we would not advise the venture, if that is the only adv.m »•*« possessed bv the owner. First, and foremost is a suitable cud accessible mMketi then „ kllow . edi , e of how to prepare for, 'plant, cultivite and sell the crop, is absolutely imiispeiiBible. Granted these essentials we should be ^ t<> producoour 0W11 gupp]y of SHRar> M ^nii every other new enterprise, it is a mistake to rush in and undertake e ° “ tl,ron f >* bef ™ wo a ra tl '?f onghly prepared for the work. , The signs of the times point to this as a new American industry, aud as the Louisiana Planter pertinently says, we could reach an immense development of the sugar industry before we should be compelled by the magnitude of our home produc¬ tion to accept the price of the world at large. At any rate the American people seem determined to try the experiment of the beet sugar industry. ''The closeness of the margins in manufacturing in almost every district leads to the concentration of much attention in this one industry, which seems to promise a profic to those who engage in it, or at least to promise a profit after the first losses due to bad management shall have been made. The industry is one suited to onr soil* aud climate, is legitimate in every re¬ spect, aud we trust that it will be so en¬ couraged that in time we will be able to fully supply onr homo market.—Stats Agricultural Department. Deliornl ttgf. Question. —Does dehorning injure the animal very seriously and is it very painful? Would you advise that, where a large number of cows are kept, they Bhould be dehorned? Answer. —It has been conclusively demonstrated that if dehorning is prop¬ erly done, aud proper attention given to the animal afterwards, they experience little inconvenience uud feel very little pain. We have known whole herds of grown animals dehorned, where scarcely an animal missed a feed, and the flow of milk was not perceptibly diminished. Bat every precaution was used to give as little pain as possible and the most approved instruments were used. Ou the other hand, we have seen cattle die from the effects of cruelty and after neglect. The best time for such work is in the mild weather of spring or fall. During.hot weather the flies are trou¬ blesome and shouid be guarded against by smearing tar over the wounded part. In cold weather the cow's should be well protected and cared for until they en¬ tirely recover from tho operation. The best plan of dehorning it to apply a ®b*mical dehoruer to tho “button a. 800,1 as ^ appears on the calves, winch i* easily and cheaply done. On no ho count shouid one attempt to dehorn a grown animal, until he has previously seen the work properly done, and has t be necessary and suitable tools and appliances at baud for taking off the horns thoroughly and quickly. —State Agricultural Department. Fertllisnr For Potatoes. Question.—P lease give me a good fertilizer for my potatoes, and will the same formula do for my early cabbages? Answer —A good fertilizer for pota¬ toes ahonid contain about 12 per cent oi potash, 8 per cent of phosphoric acid, and 3 per cent of nitrogen. For cab¬ bages, 8 per cent of potash, 8 per cent of phosphoric acid aud 9 p>r cent of ni¬ trogen. We have hire illustrated the principle that different crops, while they require tho same elements, need these in different proportions. Wero you to use the cabbage formula for your potatoes you would perhaps have vig orous plants with luxuriant foliage and but few'tubers. Ulie large amount of ammonia would stimulate a vigorous growth above ground, while the proper. ‘Km of potash and phosphoric acid it not sufficient to form nay considerable nnmber of potatoes. Oil the contrary cabbages are gross feeders ana require heavy applications of nitrogen with smaller doses of potash and phosphoric acid.—State Agricultural Department, «■. la—. Question. -Is it too late to apply lime to my land? How shall I put it oil. and how much to the acre? Answer-As a general thing it i. . best to apply lime the full. It should in be applied evenly to the surface of the plowed land It will gradually sink into the soil aud perform a wondcriul work there T o aid in its oven distri bution. on which much of its beneficial effect depends, a barrow should be ruu lightly over the land.
