GENERAL HARRISON.

As the elections which are now going on the diff
frent states seem to indicate pretty strong current
in favor of General HARRISON, every thing IN rela'
ton to his past history and character becomes more
deeply interesting In order therefore, as far as lies
in our power to spread as widely possible, the in
formation which we have gathered from different
sources, and which we think may tend to deVolore
his character and principles, (Quere9 we invite the

Dear Siir,-Some few weeks since l
saw in the columns of your paper an ac-
count of some fine Irish Potatoes presen-

ing from 10 to 12 ounces. have raised
a considerable quantity this summer
weighing from ID to l6 ounces, and mea-
sured from 10 to III inches in clrcum-
ference. My mode of raising them IS as
follows. The latter part of February, l
make trenches about 10 or IL inches deep,
by running plow two or three times In a
place and scraping them out with hoe.
In these trenches 1 put small quantity
of stable or other strong manure, drop the
potatoe and fill the trenches with half rot

ter leaves or other trash about four or five
inches deep all over the surface, which
keeps the ground moist and prevents the

potatoes, but this is much the best. If
you think the above worthy of a place IN

General Harrison is the candidate Of
the Federal Wings, and he must now be
trumpeted great man; it would not 40
for any but great and wise man to be their
candidate for President; and according to

new and wonderful miracle has occurred,

Gen. Harrison at the Harrisburg Conven-

up the slip, and sunk into the lowest deep
Of despair. Such was their estimate Of
Gen. Harrison's political character, his
old Federal principles, his votes for the
Tariff and Internal improvements, his sci.
tied opinion and wishes in regard to Abo-
Iilion, Lis perfect connexion with the con-
solidalion views Of Webster, his entire
approval Of that s,atesma4,s constitutional
doctrines, which, if carried into practical
operation, would convert our Government
into central despotism, welded by cor
ruption and the spirit Of Legislative Pl un'
der; they did not think it possible, in the
nature of things, that any considerable
portion of the Southern people could be
deceived into his support. The leaders of
the Southern Wings therefore regarded
themselves as routed and utterly banished
from the hope of regaining the vantage
ground which they occupied under Henry
Clay, man of known powers and great.

principles, was beyond comparison, in all
respects, superior TO the hero OF TIPpe-

Many persons are just planting Turnips,
which should have been in the ground ten
days ago. The following directions from
the American Farmer ale important.
TrRNIps.-If You have not already got
in your turnips, delay not a day in pre-
pairing your ground and sowing them, In
preparing the ground be sure neither to
spare manure ror labor. No one should
dream of cultivating turnips with less than
two ploughings, and as many rolllngs and
harrowinss a. will perfectly pu!vcr:zcd tho
ground. Fine ti.th is absolutely necessary
to success IN the culture of this root. -.
MANURE. Cow manure is the best.
If that be not at hand, ashed is the next
best; and if they be not attainab!e, any
well rotted manure will answer; but we
question much if long dung will do.
PREPARATION OF THE SEED.-Scak
them in a solution of equal parts of sui
phur and saltpotre for twelve hours before
sowing; dry the seed in ashes, sow, har-
row; or brush them in, then roll the sur
face evenly, and your work of putting in
will be at an end. If few bushels of
ashes, or one of lime to the acre be sown
over the field, so much the better.
PREVENTION AGAINST THE FLY.-As
soon as you have sown your seed, get a
half bushel or more of elder leaves, put
them into bushel, fill it up with water,
stir and bruise thoroughly, SO as to incor-
pora'e the juice with the water. As soon
as your turnips come up, 60 over them
mop in hand. and sprinkle the solution
over them. Repeat this night and NOR
ming for three or four days, and you will
save your plants. The staler this solu-
ton is the more eficacious it will prove.
CuLrURE.-When your turnips are Of
the dimensions of the circle of dollar,
run a harrow through them both ways:
When their leaves assume the size Of the

and in a few.days thereafter thin them out
to about six or eight inches apart, weed,
and lay them by, for your cultivation will
then have been completed.
