THE WING PARTY.

The New York Wing Address concludes in
the following glowing language.
Firmly united with regard TO Principles,
Measures, and Men-known TO the country
as the unlaltefing advocates Of the Protection
of American industry, the creation Of sound
and uniform National Currency, the relief Of
the States from onorous burthens and their
security from spoation through the Distri-
button of the Public Land Proceeds, and the
sautary limitation of Executive patronage and
power, the Wing Party ofthe Union hopefully
awaits the day when its unweared and unbrok-
en- masses shall rally to the contest of 1914,
bearing proudly on their banner, the name of
the great Orator and Statesman of our coun-
try aud age-a name which even the most in
luriated maevolence, the most reckless calumny,
dare not couple with treOchery or dissimula-
tinn--wth ucapacity, wrong, or dshonor.-
Under the banner of that Great Statesman will
tie yictors of 1910 rcvindcate themselves by
new triumphs from the foul ISLANDERS and the
bitter taunts of their enemies; and the benig-
nant results so iondly and Justly anticipated
from the Presidency OF Gen. HARRIsoN, but
blighted by his death, shall be more than real
I7ed under the ascendency of the profound abl-
ity, the ripe experience, the transcendent civic
genius of HENRY CLAY.
Here speaks the true Wing split. We
know no such word as neutrality-suspicious.
failure. They have been erased from the
Wing vocabulary, and every thing tells OF
trust, Of hope, ofvctory.
Let US not turn back from the good work
The enemy is dvded-hs councils are dis
tracled-his strength is waning. Onwardl-
Wings Of $40, and eclipse the gories of that
campaign by those which cover you with glory
in 1914.
Remember that Locoloco Congress has
vet to sit aud disgust the people with its de-
structiveness. Remember that Calhoun can
not carry the North, aud that Van Buren, can
not be elected a second term over Henry Clay.
We are strong enough to cope with either
snge-handed. When they divide their forces
we shall scatter them 10 the winds. Onward,
then, good Wings and true, and the laurel
wreath will surely be yours.-N. b. Mercury.

Progress Of Papaey-We learn from the New
York Commercial Advertiser that the great design
OF the Papal power in keeping the Word of God
from the hands of the people, has been so far sue
cessiul as TO cause the entire secluson of the Bible

has been organized under the new system As
the school was composed chiefly of children of Ro-

the commissioners, &c (who are Protestants1
when they took it in charge that the Douuy Bible
should be read on every alternate morning. But
this did not satisfy the designs of the Papa clergy

going notice for Wing State Convention, the i'm
portonce of the business 10 be Transacted and the
urgent necessity of full representation OF the
Wings from all parts of the State Candidates for
Stale officers TO be nominated; Delegates TO the
National Convention chosen, and arrangements
made for the coming election. This election is
equally important with any that has taken place ior
years. twill be remembered that Representatives
to Congress, as well State officers, are then to
be chosen; and on those Representatives may de-
volve the duty of selecting the next President OF
the United States. Let the Wings of every town in
the State at once attend TO the call Of the Commit
tee, and without delay select their delegates 10 rep

The time is near at hand and there should be no

Cutting PoTAToEs.-Some farmers still
strenuously contend that slips are as valuable
to plant or propagate from as whole potatoes;
but our experience has produced in our minds
a conviction that they are not. Ii is never
theless true, that where one is short Of seed
or when the difficulty of procuring suilcien-
cy is great, or where one has a new variety
which he is DESTROYS of making go' as far as
possible,--cutting may be expedent, berause
il is prompted by necessity. But as farmer
has plenty ofpolatoes, whole ones, of medium
size, should be used for seed. This we think
should be the standing rule. No one selects
his smallest ears of corn for seed. Why,
then, should we not adopt the same principle
in selecting seed potatoes; As TO cutting our
seed ends,' as they are generally denominaled,
by farmers, they are not in our opinion, worth
planting when the whole potatoe can be OBJ
tanned at the usual price. 1t has been assert
ed, that By following this process the best
and most valuable variety may be wholly 'run
OUT in the course Of few years. Ii is a
good principle always TO select the best seed I;
propagate from your finest specimens, wheth-
er animal or vegetable and preserve the rest

A DREAM.--A story is in circulation here
that a large number of the citizens of the
towns of Harmony and Cambridge, in this
county, have turned out in the search of the
bones of a man, whom a citizen of one of
those towns, has recently discovered through
The medium Of dream, TO have been muir
dered and buried in a certain place Ia the
woods in that vicinity, some twenty years ago.
The name ol the murderer together with all
the circumstances attending the murder, are
given by the dreamer. Among other things
the man dreamed that the clothes Of the muir
dered man were cut up for childrens' wear by
a young lady at the time; and as the story
goes, that young lady who is now married AMI
still resides in the town, says she remembers
perfectly well of cutting up clothes for the
man named as the murderer, and that she was
suspicious then that all was not right. The
man now suspected Of the murder, (and il
seems he was suspected at the time, for a man
was actually missing there, who is supposed TO
have had considerable money about his person.
and who is never since been heard OF removed
from Harmony soon after the murder is sup-
posed TO have been perpetrated, 10 a different
part of the State where he now resides and
that our dreamer did not know that such a
man ever lived in town, until, from the i'm
pressions made upon his mind by the dream,
he was lead 10 make the inquiry. 81 This in
part Is the story as it was related 10 US. We
are however, not confirmed believer in dreams;
nor do we vouch for its correctness.

CULTURE OF TIE poTAToE.

II is found by experience, that in addition TO
the fertility or richness Of soil Indispensable for
the profitable growth of any crops The potatoc
demands FOR its perfection n considerable de-
gree of moisture and bed for tubers so light
that their growth may be unobstructed. A
sandy soil is sufficiently light but il is most
commonly too dry; clay soils are moist enough
ordinarily, but they are too heavy and COM
pact. The best soil for potatoes is one that
contains a large quantity OF vegetable matter
combined with the carths. Thus muck land
rarely fail of producing good potatoes, where
water is not too abundant Maine and Nova
Scotia are Justly celebrated for their potatoes ;
the newly cleared lands Astounding in muck,
and the climate insurlng a supply OF moisture.
On a sandy soil, the potatoe should be planted
in burrows, so that the roots may be below the
general level of the earth, and killing should be
dispensed with; where the soil is inclining to be
heavy, or moist, the potatoe should be above
the level, and killing must be resorted TO; not
those little sharp cones of earih some call po-
tatoe hills, but made as broad on the surface
as the distance between the rows and the pro-
per working will admit. There is no necessity
lor the tubers being buried deep in hocing or
in growing: it is enough if they are fully ex-
cuded from light and air. Where potatoes are
properly cultivated, the productiveness may
generally be well guessed in autumn by the
appear rance of the hills, which will be evident
" enlarged, and cracked in all directions
We find in our foreign journals some notices
of the culture Of the polatoe, which our read
ers may find useful, particularly in clay soils, or
those liable TO suffer from drouth. Taking adj
vantage Of the well known fact that tanners
bark retains wafer very strongly, Prof Voelker
of Prussia, made some experiments with spent
bark and found that by covering his potatoe
SETS with two or three inches of this material
before turning furrow over them, he secured
an abundant supply Of moisture for the season,
besides providing a loose. spongy bed for the
young tubers. We hope some of our readers
who have the means, will try the professors
method, since if il should succeed, material
which now has little value might be made use
lu to the agrculiuiist
In order tn obvate the difficulty arising from
dense clay soil, of poor quality, NJ. Auber of
France, strewed literally his potatoe sets with
chat made from rye straw, previous TO their
being covered with earth. AS the results of
experiments made for three years, he states
that his crops have been most abundant and Of
The finest quality. This practice is one that
could hardly fail of success in such soils;
for ii not as reirntive Of water as the tan. bark
the clay soil renders the quality less necessary,
and the material would furnish a fiue corrective
10 a compactness fatal TO large potatoe crop.
