We have understood that it has been recently said of the Editor ofthis paper that he was Clay man in disguisc;" and that he would at once avow his sentiments did he not fear the consequence in the n jury to the paper that he only supported General Jackson through interest, &c. We can only say in reply to these charges, that they matter by whom made, or by whom repeated-TOTALLY AND ABSOLUTELY FALSE. The Editor of this paper has never been political friend of MT Clay-has no personal acquaintance with him; nor has he ever been politically opposed to Gen. Jack years of age) he did prefer Mir Crawford but it is also true that in 1928 (the only time he was en- titled to Presidential vote) he gave his suffrage openly and conscientiOusy to the present Chief Ma gistrate; and has uniformly since that time been his political supporter
 The politics of Mir Clay are diametricalIy oppos- ed in almost every particular to those which have uniformly been avowed and supported by the Edi- tor of this paper. On the great and leading ques- tons of the American System and Internal Improve ments by the General Government the politics of MT Clay are as different from ours as light is from darkness.
 Whilst upon this subject will once for all state, that the Editor of this paper is NO MANS His course as an Editor has never been, and will never be- that of PARTY MAN. So far this or that ad- minstration conducts itself to the honor and pros perty fthe government-so far will we support it's acts with all our humble efforts; but no farther We are not bound neck and heels to the car of any man or party; but have always advocated such measures as in our opinion would conduce to the honor and n tercst of our common country. Farther than this we will not go for any man. We have no Trea- sury pap to lose-we neither desire nor expect any office within the gift of the government we are therefore entirely disinterested, and can afford to praise where praise due or dare to censure fper- chance any thing censurable should appear.

My land being all in it's primitive state. and having but 80 or 100 of the Madeira vines which planted with no small inconvenience, at an advanced season of the year, 1t IS apparent, then, that my start was not such a one as could nave been wished. To in- crease this small stock from hundred to several thousands, required time. However in the third year my new establishment, my vineyard was en- larged to live acres; since which time have conti- nued to propagate my vines circumstances requir ed.
 This then, is the true history of the Madeira vine planted here and is not at all as a neighbor of mine has heen pleased to represent 1t in the American Farmer some time in the spring of 1899. He stated that the above mentioned vine not the Madeira, but a toitd Uine found somewhere in Louisiana or some other place. l have been at loss to know whether the gentleman intended any good to the country, the vine, to myself, by such inconside rate observations. My neighbor has fine vineyard, and well cultivated; but unfortunately, the greater part of his paintings not iudlciously selected. He gave very favorable and glowing description of vine called the SchuyikM Muscadine, which in his opinion had wonderful qualities but which do not consider will repay for tlie trouble of cultivation
 The first great object of Vgneron should be the correct selection of his plants. Without the utmost attention to it, in new country, success is alto gether uncertain. Many considerations and prn- cipally a series of experiments will alone lead us to such selection For this country, if the nature of vine be hardy. of quick growth and insensible to the few warm days in March, of late growth. it is good. These are essential qualities of the Ma deira as well as of the Schuylkill Muscadne but the fruit of the latter is bitter coarse and will but barely make wine. We have several other kinds of grape vines suiting this climate; as the Persian the Isabella, and the Chaselas. Of these the Per sian alone is celebrated for wine.
 The Madeira is of so rich vegetation, grows so luxurlanty, that it can be trimmed long. Each pro. ductve eye putting forth four or five punches oi grapes; consequently it bears great deal. Its win fage season is the beginning of September, tlmt much more favorable than either of the precedn. hot months. CORNEILLE ROUDET.

LeIingtOn.-In passing through this pleasant town few days since, for the first time, we saw the bat tie monument, erected on the spot where the blood of the yeomanry in that quarter was shed in the vouton. While viewing the monument, and read ing the inscription thereon, we felt that peculiar glow of patriotism which ought to inspire every American bosom. Having never to our Knowledge seen the inscription, took off, and give it to readers below, trusting that they will participate in that holy feeling which pervaded the hearts of ancestors who nobly fought and bled in our early struggles Sacred to Liberty and the Rights of Mankind. The Freedom and Independence of America sealed and defended by the blood of her
 Sons. This Monument was erected by the Inhabitants of Lexington, under the patronage and at the expense of the Commonwealth
 of Massachusetts, to Then foo,os the names of those ,0ho ioere killed. who fell this field, the first victims to the sword of British tyranny and oppression on the morning ofthe ever memora-
 ble 18th of April, A. D. l775.
 THE DIE WAS CAsT The blood of these martyrs was the cement of the Union of these States, (then colonies) and gave the spring to the spirit, firm
 ness and resolution of their fel-
 low-citizens. They rose one man, to revenge their breth- rens blood and at the point ofthe sword to assert and defend their nations
 rights.
 THEY NoBLY DARED TO BE FREE! The contest was long, bloody and affectng- Righteous Heaven approved the solemn appeal Victory crowned their arms,
