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,,—

“I am not one of those who

! 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.

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.’

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

Question.—P leas 3 toil me what you

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

• 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,

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

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,

Question. -Is it too late to apply
lime to my land? How shall I put it

be applied evenly to the surface of the
