II has been stated, and published in the Watch
man oil Friday last, that g Victor Du Point never
said he held the keys of the State of Delaware ssc~
LOOK AT THIS.
/ have heard Victor Du Pont during the Janu-
airy Session OF the Legislature, repeatedly say and
IN Boosting manner declare, that he held the keqs

appointed to represent this State in Congress- un-
less the appointments to be made should be persons
suited to his uielcs'

Mr.. Du Pont was moreover heard to say, when
speaking on the subject Of Senators, that sswe
(meaning 1t is presumed the democratic parity had
no first rate poney except Mr.. Read, ali the rest
being mere Scrabs"--now when these facts are
known and when II is considered, that Thomas and
Reynolds were but shadows OF Du Point and these

TO THE EDITOR OF THE AMERICAN FARMER.
Dear Sir,
A farmer in Anne Arundle county, Ia friend of
mine) said TO me few days ago. he wished would
again say something to you about the plaster
and Stacked ashes in planting corn. / told him
had already said enough on that subject, and il far
mers would practice It agrccahly to my method, I
was convinced they would be benefited by the ex-
pertinent, and be sellers instead OF corn -pur-
chasers; and lest it may have escaped the notice of
oOHtC3 Will fttS iC4hCsl FCpEdt NhCtCcf,
which ifyou think proper, you may notice in your
most useful paper.
Last fall twelve months, had my corn ground
ploughed deep it could be turned by two horses,
and left it exposed during winter to frost and ain; in
the spring. it was as light as an ash heap. again
gave it deep ploughing, then listed and planted
my corn, Gas early was prudent TO 40 soy plan
ting large handful of plaster and Stacked ashes
Mixed; one-third of the former and two thirds of
the latter, which was dropped on the seed and cove
red up together. The early spring showers ofrain
were absorbed by the loose ground, and the plaster
and ashes brought soon into action upon the young
plants, which grew off finely, and my was made
before the dry weather in July and August could
affect it, and from twenty-five acres Of ground
made l85 barrels fcorn, measured and lolted from
which was able to sell fifty barrels from the loft,
and had sufficient for the years use. | don't know
Of any farmer within ten miles of me, that made
sufficient for their families, owing to the grear
drought last summer, and am convinced had they
practIced the same method, the same success would
have attended lhem. G.. w.
