opinions-and to resolve to carry the election IN

The above sentence is extracted from the COM
ments of the paper named, upon the late loco toco
Convention in Hartford. The Courant says that; oil
told. the number was short of FIVE hundred. The
Times saws more than one thousand. But we make
the remark to express satisfaction that the editor
Of the Times should have tested the politics by their

REMARKS ON THE GENERAL PRIN-
CIPLES OF HUSBANDRY.

in suffering no crnp TO grow upnn your
land. that will 90 far exhaust your soil; as

crnp, whatever profit such crop may af-
ford you.
3. To avoid this. suffer m one crop 10

4. Every plant derives from the earth
for its growth. such properties "a are pee!

those properties peculiar to itself without
Iessenine its powers to proIluce some other
plants. This fact i. mos, striking in The.
article Of fax, which will no, bear TO be
repealed oftener than once in seven years,
and is common to all crops, with the ex-
ception of those noticed as above.
