TIE porAToE CRoP.-The Potatoe crop
in this section, which few weeks since
promised to be very large one, we learn
from our agricultural friends, is much in
jured by diseased potatoes. la many fields
a considerable share Of The potatoes are d.
seased and rotten, and in some, so much 50
as TO be entirely worthless. Digging does
nol appear to arrest the progress of the d.
sease in potatoes, as some have lost lhe,r
crop after taking it from the hill. We are
informed that in some instances dis ased
pot loes have proved fatal to swine fed with
them.-COm. Herald
From all parts of the State we hear SINH
lar complaints. The loss in the south towns
Of this county has been very great, and in
Gcnessce and Wyoming counties not incon-
siderable. A writer ina late number of the
Utica Gazette thinks that the disease is the
effect of an insect. This is not the general
opinion. TIE disease has been on the in
crease for several yeais, and has excited in
tense interest in Scotland, Germany, Swe-
den and Russia. The better opinion in
these countries is, that by long propagation
from the tuber without recurring to the ma
turll seed of The plant, it has lost portion
of lis vital power, and hence is extremely
prone TO blight. rust, and TO rot. We have
paid considerable attention TO this matter
for the last eighteen months, and have found
that many plants last season and this have
perfected no bless ms or seed. Whenever
balls are produced, they should be carefully
dried, and planted next spring, with only a
few seeds in hill. and cultivated in the
usual way. Potatoes thus grown in Germl-
ny hape been imported into Edinburgh, and
proved TO be both sound and excellent roofs,
by several years experience. The same
trials have been made in Nj issachusetts and
on the Hudson river with equal success.
The potato crop is the most valuable Of
any grown in this state. The loss last sea-
son fom rotting exceeded several hundred
thousand d ollars, ard we fear that this year
il will fall but little below one million.

pOLK,s PROSPECTS.

We fbink The candid OF all parties must
admit that the prospects of the democratic
candidate for the Presidency are at this pre-
sent time the best. Let us see. There
are nine states, viz: Maine, New Hampshire,
Virginia, South Carolina, Alabama, Illinois,
Missouri, Michigan, and Arkansas, casting
IA electoral votes, which are sure to 60 for
him. Sixty-four more votes are required for
a majority. TO get these, we consider him
certain of both New York and Pennsylvania
casting 90 votes. TO make up the balance
he stands all equal chance with Clay for the
states of New Jers ~, Mississippi, Ohio, Ten
nessee, Indiana, and Louisiana. Any one
of these states would elect him! and his
chances are not only equal but we think vast
ly better than Clay's in Mississippi, New Jer,
sey, and Louisiana.
The states we first mentioned, probably
no one will dispute as going for Polk. The
Wings can have but the very faintest hope Of
carrying either New York or Pennsylvania
and of the doubtful states we mentioned, we
shell not be surprised to see them all go fol
Polk. twill certainly be strange if enough
of them don't 90 for him TO secure him a
handsome majority of the electoral vote.
Southport telegraph. [volume] (Southport, W.T. [i.e. Kenosha, Wis.]) 1840-1850, 1844-10-08
STATE GOVERN MENT.

The vote on this question will no doubt
be found largely against il. 1t is useless to
waste any words in regrets at this result,
The big baby is determined TO keep hanging
for suslsnance at tho maternal breast, and
probably will never submit to be weau-d till
the supply is drained, We must go on un-
der our colonial form of government, sub
hitting 10 the evils incident thereto, and like
a lnbberly beggar, receive s,Inted support
from the charity of the general government,
and this too, while the advantages which
would result from our entering upon State
Government, are daily becoming less. Bat
the soycrcigns have willed it, and SO mole it
be.
In connection We cannot lorbcar to allude
TO the patriotism of the editor Of the Amer
lean, on this question. H. has written much
N favor of it, and has again and again urged
lis advantages upon the people; yet at the
ballot box he voted against all the advanta-
ges he had enumerated and urged, for some
paltry political consideration. Really, this
is patriotism with a vengeance. 1t is party
before country.
Southport telegraph. [volume] (Southport, W.T. [i.e. Kenosha, Wis.]) 1840-1850, 1844-10-08

THE CONTEST. We consider the presi-
dental contest now pending, as the most
important that the country within our recol-
lection, has experienced because the priu-
ciples of both parties are more fully develo-
ped and more fully represented by their can
didates We believe that whichever poll
cy the people shall embrace will be the po-
Icy Of the country for years to come, proba-
bly, during the existence Of the republic i.
Such being the case, the honest politician
whichever side he may embrace, must feel
the deepest interest in the result. In battle
the hired soldier who has no permanent in
terest in the contest in which he is engaged
vet feels bis whole soul enlisted in the cause
how much greater then would his inte rest
naturally be, who feels that the welfare of
himself and those who succeed him, depend
upon the result. 1t seems 10 US that he who
is not party man cannot be a good patriot.
If he loves his fellows and the institutions Of
his country, he will naturally have some set
tied principles of action TO secure good to
the one and to sustain and perpetuate the
other We detest conservatism, for there
is no mediocrly in a principle. 1t is good
or bad and deserves either whole-souled
support, or an equally hearty condemnation.
From the fact that at ths present time, the
representatives Of the two parties embody in
themselves TO greater extent than has be-
fore been the case, the principles Of each,
we think there is proportionably more true
patriotism and love CT country embodied in
the contest lie who was disposed to des-
pond far his country in view Of the degrading
campaign of lS40, in which all the baser
passions of the mind were arous ed 10 action
instead of tbs calm reflection in which alone
we have safety. can now feel encouraged by
the changed condition of things, which the
present contest witnesses. The coons, the
hard cider, the ribald song, the coarse Jest,
the scurri,ous abuse, have in great mea-
sure disappeared, and we have in their place
the calm discussion of the great principles
which do in fact embody our whole welfare
as people. From this consideration then
we look upon this as the most important
contes, which the country, of late years at
least, ha. witnessed The contest Of 1910
determined nothng-because of its purpo-
ses nothing was known but the contest of
1914 will determine every ,hng-because
The purpose of each party is fully devel-
oped.
For our own part then, honestly believing
as we do, that the principles of the Demo
crazy are the principles which can alone Sc
cure permanent and lasting welfare TO the
people-and honestly believing that its OPP
posite is fraught with most disastrous re-
sults-we feel the yerv deepest interest in
The pending contest. We tremble when
We reflect upon the possibility which exists

HOW ARE THE MIGHTY FALLEN

The following is from The Boston Courier
the leading wing paper of N. England, with
regard to the Presidential contest:
We can neither disguise from ourselves
or others the fact, that the states Of New
York and Pennsylvania hold the balance
Of power, Their great numerical strength
will produce most sensible influence in
the electoral colleges ; and, united. will be
decisive of the result Fortunately for our
own chances, we need but one of those
mighty votes to succeed; and if New York
will but adhere TO US, we can spare Penn
sylvania, with equanimty.
New York, then, should be advised with
what intense earnestnesS we watch The pro-
ceedings Of her politicians. Our friends
there should remember the expectations of
the Wings throughout the Union. The
Z" setter-up and puller-down" of Presidents
that powerful state contains in its hands the
immediate destinies of the Union. For
veal or woe, its decision is conclusive.
