The Whigsare waking up. From every quarter
we hear of their efforts to rally their forces. They
intend in the ensuing campaign, to attempt to carry
every thing by storm. Threats, entreaties, denun

How much gold would not English fund-helders
pour out to put such men as Clay, Webster and
Cost Johnson in power2 These debts arc due for
the most part, to the English and they believe
that if the Wings succeed in the approaching

with the freedom of elections, and subsidize the
public press; because experience has proven that
ii cannot regulate the exchanges, they being as
low now as they ever were; because it wo6ld
overshadow the reserved rights of the States, by
crushing and building up local Banks at plea
sure; !; because, no matter how bad our local
Banks might be, it would never regulate them
farther than might be necessary to advance its
own interests; because it would be able, through
large issues, to raise the prices of property, and
then, by Withdrawing its issues to depfess prices,
and thus embarrass the people, and overspread the
country with the wrecks of bankruptcy and desc
lation because it could not make the country
richer or better of, however wisely it might be
carried on, for the simple reason that nothing but
labor can produce wealth; because it would have its
principal seats in the villages and cities far from the
scrutiny of the planters and farmers where little
knots of Bank men would be present to speculate
aDd shave on the public distresses; because, even
if it well-administered, it could not loan to
the farmer, it being the uniform custom of Banks
to loan at ninety days, and it being also imPossi-
bic for this worthy and ailimportant class of our
citizens to borrow on such short time because
the private property of the stockholders is not to
be responsible for its issues; because all power
taken from the people ought to be used alone for
the accomplishment of the public good and not for
the aggrandizement of any set of men; and be-
cause in fne such an institution would, in our
opinion, work immense evil, in many respects, to
the people ofthis country. Other objections might
be urged but want of room compefs US TO stop

were planted later than usual by almost 2 months,

who planted late, have probably made better crops

The tobacco crop of the last year reached $4,000
hogsheads, the greater proportion of which was
the meanest ever brought into market. The pre-
sent crop is estimated at the same number, and,
although pretty sma4tIy injured by fire, is very
far superior in quality, and will command five
times the value of the last years. The last crop
brought every planter on the James and Roanoke
in debt. Few paid overseer's wages and not ten
large planters paid expenses. We will do better
this year. but it will hardly prove an average one
with the last ten.

sUCKING HARD1CIDER.

It was the beautiful remark of Roman
Consul" that hard-cider, when sucked through a
straw lost all its disagreeable and intoxicating
qualities, and by the richness of its flavor, and its
happy action the brain, introduced the 6rtu-
nate drinker at once, Imagination at least, into
the gardens of the gods This most agreeable
employment sucking hard-cider-was much IN
vogue in this State in 1910; and we are pleased
to remember, that some of our most eminent di-
vines and lawyers engaged in it with great profit
10 themselves, and to the lasting edi6cation of a
number of the sovereign people. Passing o, er
the enjoyments realized in the cder-sucking line
by the Editor Of the Star, and his most appropri-
ate -yoke-felow, Parson CRUDUP, we come at
once to the performances Of Mr. BADGER This
gentleman, in his Granville speech, furnished to
his friends most happy " "eEperience" on this
subject, in the following words and letters to
wit:
eyes, Harrison drinks ciler-he drinks hart-cider
This is a matter Of tGste-seme like it hard, and
sSeetand some in state between the When
was boy, FEked to drinkEt through a stro,o when
newly pressed"
Now, who docs not admire the proprioty and
excellence of Mr., BADGERS staste2 Frowning on
the agst dlwning of any attsmpt Is offer him
goard; and turning supercIiously aside from the
use of bright lineup he Aourishcs his straw in
serts it. in the bunghole of the deifed barrel, and
sucks the beverage in manner altogether pecu-
liar to himself What an example for the ina-
tion of the little Whggiesl Who, hereafter, will
turn up his nose at any sort of cider, when Mr..
BADGER-the erudite, the proud, the accomplish
ed Mr. BADGER-teTls US that he even conde-
scends to suck it through a straw2 Who, here,
afer can be- loss to know one Whis princi-
pie at least-to know that no man can Be true
Whig, who does not suck hard-cider through a
straw2 Mr.. BADGER, it is true has not told us
what sort Of straw we ought to usc-whether
wheat-straw, rye-straw, an oatstraw-and
this, feft to presume, is also "a matter of!
taste"
From present indications it is thought it will be
the duty of the approaching Wing Convention to-
furnish the fortunate nominee for Governor with
straw, to be exclusively devoted to the purposes
and inasmuch as the ChronicIer
of the nundatious of Roanoke, TO wit the Editor |
of the Roanoke Republican, is known to be exten-
sively engaged in the ale, salt and straw line, we
seize the occasion to intimate to- him that il would
be we'll for him, If he wishes to serve his party
more efectualfy than he is now doing, to preserve
the soundcst and largest straw he can find, and
send it on for the inspection of the assembled wis
dom of the Federal Wing party. The straw
should be about two feet tong-wth an open bar
rel--sound joints-and of a CIaycolor Mr.
BARTHOLOMEW F. MooRE will, we make no
doubt, be more than happy to bring it on, and in
the name of MIR, BADGER present it to the Con-
vention.
