The Agricultural Department is a prominent feature in tho Weekly Bun, and its articles Will always be found fresh and useful to the farmer. The number of men independent in politics is increasing, and tho Weekly Sun is their paper especially. It belongs to no party, and obeys no dictation, contending for principle, and lor the election of the best men. It exposes the corrup tion that disgraces tho country and threatens the overthrow of republican institutions. It lias no fear of knaves, and seeks no fkvors from their supporters.
