over a pech piece. Mr.. Lawrence plant
ed IA rods of ground, ond harvested over
100 bushels, which is equal to 200 bushels
to the acre. The land on which they grew
was a gravclly loan, with rye stubblc, and
prepared for corn. The corn which grew
by their side, with precisely the same prep
ara,ion, and the addition Of plaster and
ashes, which the turnips had not, produced
at the rate of only 40 bushels. This ex-
pertinent illustrates very strongly the COM

Several weeks ago, we published
an extract from the EmdRcjpdtor,
giving the reasons of the abolition
lists for refusing to support Mr.. Clay
for the Presidency. They denounce
him as an enemy to abolition, a slave
holder, and wholly Southern in his
feelings; and for that reason express
a decided preference for Mr.. Van
Buren,. For once, these fanatics are
right. Mr.. Clay is not their candid
ate; he has no part nor lot with them,
and they cannot consistently support
him. Nor is this view of the subject
lost upon the Van Buren, abolitionists
themselves. In 4 late number of the
North Star, a leading loco foco Van
Buren, paper of the blacklist dye, pub
lished in Vermont, we find long Ii.
rade of abuse against Mr.. Clay, for
his uncompromising opposition to
their fanatical crusade, and an ear
nest entreaty that all "good and true
ahohtlonists," of every party, would
declare at once for their FREUD and
supporter, Van Buren,. The Star
pronounces the assertion that Mr..
Van Buren, has "gone over' to the
South, malicious falsehood, got up
by the Wings for political effect at
the North. And to prove that the
/, Northern Wings are opposed to abo-
: lition, he quotes the following re-
marks of the New York Gazette, a
: leading Wing paper:
