MR.. GRANGER. ..

MIX. GRANGEk. lt
The llth DAY Of Nav Is fixed for the
election Of member Of Congress for the
9th district in this State, to supply the
vacancy OccasiOned BY the resignation of
the hon. Francis Granger, appointed Post.
master General Of the united States. '-
Mr.. A. Sawyer, Of Ontario County, .
highly respectable citizen, was a member
of the State Legislature in 1899, and
then gave his vote for Mr.. Granger Tor the
Office of Senator of the United States,
has recently published letter in the
Friend OfMan, stating a number Of SEN
timents which he says he has heard from
Mr.. Granger's own lips. They aIe as fol-
lows:
"ist. Mr.. Granger has said that be had
yielded to the doctrines advanced by Mr..
SIade in his late speech IN regard TO the
District of Columbia, and that the notion
of implied faith on the part Of Virginia
and Maryland must be given up.
"2d. Mr.. Granger has said, that when.
ever it could be proved that Shareholders
had called 10 their aid United States troops
to put down an insuneclion ON the part
of the slaves against the whites; or when
ever it could be made TO appear that u
niled States troops had been used TO sus-
tain or protect slavery, that moment con-
gress would have power TO abolish slave
ry in the different States.
"3d. Mr.. Granger has said that colOni-
cation was one of the greatest Southern
humbugs ever invented, and that long be-
fore Gerrit Smith got his eyes open On.
this subject. he had openly and aVOWedly
denounced this social circle, but in =
public meeting. s7
"4lh. Mr.. Granger said, If the AbOli-
tionists Of Ontario county gave him lib
eral support in 1888, they never should
have cause 10 regret lit
"The sentiments set forth in the abVoO
had from Mr.. Granger's own lips. have
given his words as near as can recolleCt
them.

From the New Gennesee Farmer.
THE ROOT CULTURE.-THE PO
TATO,


Messrs. EDIToRs-I am not quite
through with the subject on which COM
menced, which was the consideration OF
the Root Culture. To show to the far
mers in the clearest possible manner, how
much it is for their interests TO turn their
attention to this system of farming, ! ex-
hibited, in my former communication,
the circumstances in which they were
placed, particularly in relation 10 the
high prices Of mill feed. Wheat was
their hobby, because it was the crop
which, more than any other, increased the
amonnt of their funds. So much, there
fore, of their land was put into wheat, that
il was impossible TO keep stock to much
extent, without changing the system Of
farming. And hence arose, among the
Farmers of Western New York, the ne
cessity of cuIlivating Roots; because a
very few acres in Roots, properly man
aged; will finnish the greatest amount
Of the best kind of food for farm
stock.
One prime article of this kind is. the
Potato; because it is easily produced, i
is adapted to our soil and climate, large
amount can be produced from a small
quantity Of land, and because it vii
endure rather long for late feeding
ia spring and summer. -
Far six or eight years | have very sue
cessfully cultivated the mercer potato, 70
variou reasons. lst, Because, for th'
table, they are the first quality. I'd They
fetch the highest price in market. Sd
They come very early to maturity, requl
ring only short season, and at the samt
time they are Of the first quality TO USE
4lh. They can be planted thicker thar
any other potato, on account of the small
ness Of their tops. Each eye puts forth
shoot which comes very early to maturity
and then dies down, without putting on
any side shoots like the Pinkeys, the r.
han, aud most other kinds. 5ih. Thougl
they are no better favored than the Pink
eye, yetin other respects they are suPe
riot; their tops are so much smaller tina
you can plant more upon the acre ano
produce more; they are moro easily bar
vested, because The tubors are not scat'
ltersd an over the bill like those Of sne
Pinkese. but they lie close together g

OFFICIAL TITLE.-We think the true
constitutional style and title Of Mr.. Tyler
is " the President" not Vice President
or Acting President, By the constitution
as originIy adopted, the electors voted
for no man as Vice President; they voted
for two as President, and the one who
had the majority of The votes became Ac-
ling President, and the next highest bav :
ing a maJotity, Acting vice president,
competent 10 become President upon =
vacancy in the higher office. In Ihe con-
test between Jefferson and the elder Ad :
ans, Jefferson and Burr had an equal
number Lf votes for president, although
the people designed 10 make Mr.. Jsffer-
son President, and MI. Burr Vice Presi-
dent, This threw the decision between
the two into the House ofrepresentatives
where Burr, seduced by the Federalists,
ran for the Presidency. This attempted
fraud on the people led 10 an amendment
of the Constitution requiring the electors
to designate which they intended for Pres
ident and which for Vice President. But
no change was made as to the official
st, lie of either; and now asbefore, which
soever comes to the performance Of tho
duties of President, is properly styled
"The President" ,s,,l,.
There is now no Vice President, and
If President Tyler were TO die there

sank and drowned, their innocence wal
fully established. But if, on the contra
ny, they fOated when bound hand anC
foot, the proof of guilt was irrefragible anC
conclusive. These "children Of Satan
were therefore doomed to the watery trt
al" We know it has been strenuOusiy
denied that tests of this kind were eyel
resorted to; but the following dePOsitioni
copied literally, will put the question tc
rest.
"Mr. John Wakeman, aged 80 years,
and Samuel Squire, made oath that they
saw Mercy Disborow put into the water
and that she swan upon the water.--
This done in Court, September 18th,
1892.
"Test JOHN ALLYN, Sect.
The testimony OfAbram Adams and
Jonah Squire also is, that when Mercy
DisborOw and Elizabeth ClawsOn were
bound hand and foot, and put into the
water, they swan like corck /; and one
Iabored TO press them into the water, and
they buOyed up like cOrck. Sworn in
court, Sept. Is, 1892. r
"Attest: JOHN ALLYN, Sect.
The prisoners, or at least two or them
having 'buoyantly' passed the watery
ordeal, the testimony was complete and
deemed conclusive. The Court howey-
er, not wishing to act in so important
matter with an improper degree Of haste
adjourned, TO give both themselves
and the jury suitable time for reAec-
ton. .u o
This court assembled again on the 2Sth
October, 1862, at the same place; and the
jury, to whom the causes had been CON-
mitted, were called upon to render their
verdict. Elizabeth Clawson, Goody Mil
ler, aud Mrs. Staples were acquitted.
But far different was the fate of Mercy
Disborow, in regard to whom they return
ed a verdict of guilt, as appears from the
following extract from the records of the
court:
"The Jury being called to make re-
turn Oftheir indictment, that had been
committed to them concerning Mercy
Disborow; they return that they find the
prisoner GUILTY." according to the
Indictment, of familiarity with Satan
The jury being sent forth upon second
consideration Of their verdict, returned,
that they saw no reason to alter their ver-
dict, but do find her guilty as befOre.--
The court approved Of their verdict, and
the Governor passed sentence Of death
upon her."
Thus much for the present. When
Eaton feels disposed to favor us with an
other homiIy on the dangers Of "writing
about facts from general recollection and
vague conjecture, I'VE shall be glad to hear
from him. g,

This day commences an era in the his
tory OF this country, which, by a large
portion OF lis citizens, has been long pray
ed for. Patriotism has struggled with
mere selfish Ambition, and has at las. ,ri-
atnphed. The people became alarmed at
the vast stretch of power, and the blight
ing influence Of the experiments of their
rulers. They united all their energies
differences, which in reality were of minor
Importance, but which had hitherto an
peaied almost irreconcilable, were healed,
'.ihe Union Of the Wings for the sake Of
tnion,' was the rallying cry--and by
such union most decisive victory was
achieved over intrigue, corruplion, and
partyisn. This day consummates that
victory. General William Henry Harri-
son this day assumes the responsibility of
governing this great nation. All he asks.
and all his friends ask for him. is a fair
and impartial trial. We believe his adj
minIstra'ion will be popular one, not
wlillsllanding the bitterness the leaders of
The opposite party have already attempted
10 engender against him. The people,
the honest portion of them, who have
heretofore ranged themselves with the
Van Buren, party, are disposed to look
upon this subject in its proper light. We
believe there is to be far less party slavery
than there has been-p political action and
expression is becoming freer-the pulse
