Mr. EDITOR II am very much amused with the
reports you frequently give Of the proceedings of
a highly respectable club of old ladies, who call
themselves the "Farmers' Club of the American
Institute" do not think that ever read the lu-
cubratons Of " Punch" or the Paris Charivari,
with greater relish; and l am really Of opinion
that even the Sunday papers are not so amusing
as the solemn twaddle put forth by these respecta
bic personages who call themselves philosophical
agricuturists, and who can discourse for hours on
the subject Of "small potatoes" without coming to
any conclusion whatever about the matter. The
last question which occupied the attention of these
philosophers, was the disease Of the potato, and
certainly if they did not display great medical skill
in the discussion, they discovered their perfect fa-
miIiarity with humbnIg and balderdash. If, in.
stead OF discussing the disease OF the potato,
these gentlemen would give us an account OF
the receipts and expenditures Of the recent Fair
land the contemplate humbug exercised
towards Ole Bull and other artists, do think that
they would be entitled to claim an extraordinary
quantity OF the highest philosophical information
on the natural history of the small potato.'

DEAR SrR-You are fond Of getting hold Of news
in advance of your contemporaries, and ! will let
individuals have been industriously employed in
sounding the community as to their sentiments in
relation to the inequality OF present represen-
tation-the Northern, or free States having but
one representative out Of 600 votes, the South,
ern one for every 5000. They are able, and will
make mighty rally on this question. You are a
bold and fearless man, and could introduce the
subject to your readers in Its proper light. Give
US your sentiments on this subject, and you will
obige one Of your subscribers and a constant rea-
der Of your valuable paper. twill, am afraid,
raise strong feeling at the south but they can
not or ought not to object to an examination and
revision Of the constitution.

with the vote Of ls43, when he lost the State by
1888 There are seventv-three counties in all, and
the above rate of increase through the State,
