EARLY PorAToks.-It is well known
the seed end of a potatoe will yield a
crop earlier by some days than the root
end. This appears to be owing simply
TO the earlier growth of the sprouts from
the eye end. Earliness will be greatly
increased by placing the seed potatoes in
a box of moist sand, early in spring, in a
warm place in the house; and then plant
ing them when the shoots are about two
inches long, taking care not to break
them off.

HON. JOHN POPE,

The individual whose name heads this
article was elected in ls4l from Kentucky
as decided Wing. Circumstances have
brought TO ligh, that although professed
Wing he was trying secretly to obtain an
office through the influence Of the Loco
Focos. The Louisville Journal, upon the
authority Of gentleman Of unquestioned
veracity and member of the Kentucky
Legislature, states that during the las,
session of the Kentucky Legislature the
Hon. John Pope, had written a letter 10
the Hon. r. NJ. Johnson, earnestly solicit.
ing his influence in aiding in his election
to the U. S. Senate, promising in the event
Of his success TO become "circuit rider
IN support Of Col. Johnson for the Presi.
dency. The letter was shown by Col
Johnson TO the gentleman who gave the
information TO the Journal, and who at
The Time made a memorandum Of the con-
tents. The Colonel has been written to
on the subject and he tries 10 equivocate
as 10 lis contents, states that he burnt it
shortly after lis reception, and that it was
handed to the gentleman through mistake.
, The informant Of the Journal says there
was no mistake in the matter, for Col. j
asked him what he thought Of it--and q
conversation ensued between the two re.
lative TO the letter and its wriier-fhat as.
scrtion (relative 10 the mistake) says the
informant of the Journal, was an absurd.
~, which required months 10 concoct.-
Thus il is with members Of the Wing par.
ty--ever and anon some member is show
ing his ciovcn foot and for the sake Of some
office is yielding up his principles at the
altar of mammon. How long will this
continue ! We fear that very little de.
pcndence is TO be placed in many of those
who are looked up TO as leaders. The
thirst for gain is SO great that principles
have to yield 10 its influence. And this
will never be remedied until the people are
brought to see the deep degradation of sus-
tanning any man, where circumstances 60
10 prove that his change has been brought
about by the desire of promoting his own

that he had the vouchers and recepts TO
prove that sterling Silrer plate and eit

is quoted as authority for saying that The

was composed Of thin sub stratum of sill

For one, we believe all tina, Mr.. Ogle said
relative to the "regal mugnifcence to

the articles are not TO be found now, they
