FATTENING ANIMALS.

liza person ten years ago had said anything
about fattenng animals scientifically, he would
have been very much ridiculed. Still there is
such thing as applying science to making pork
or beef.
1t has long been known that certain kinds of
food would make an animal fatten very fast,
while others would only keep them thrifty
The analysis Of the various gains and articles of
food used shows the reason, and demonstrates
fully the importance OF knowledge of the c.
lemcnts it contains.
To enable the readers of the American to
Judge for themselves have pre- pared table
compiled from various books and papers, show
ing the Flesh forming principle, and the Fat
forming principle. in some of the leading arti-
cles used for animal food.

POOR. EEILOWSl

The poor coons are in terrible trlbulatlor
about these dggings. Its said that quite
number have lately gone into conniptlor
fits, and all because some 40 or so of those
"orrid and vulgar things called Iokah.to'
kahs' dared get together and buy and eat a
supper at Whi,ney's on the evening of the
4th. The old revolutionary soldiers that
were there have become childish, or they
wouldn't have been seen in such company
say the coon sweet-meats We don't won
der you say so, my honeys! Your fathers
said they were nothing but boys, 6S years
ago, or they would not have been heard OF
among such a company of rag-a-muffns as
planted the tree of liberty. Such is the
business of modern whiggery.-to revile the
defenders of ancient whggery.

Alta Democratic Wing meeting especial

assembled himself together, it was unani-
mousy
Resoired. |. That whereas, deeply as we
regret and unwilling as we are TO cause
any distractions in the wing ranks, never
theless under proper respect to our oaths
as lreemen, IN justice to true democracy,
and in justice to the true hearted wings of
Rutland Co., we do hereby publicly dis
sent from the nomination of Frederick
Button, of Clarendon, for SENATOR made
at the county convention at Castleton.
Resolvcd, 2. That though the cattle and
sheep on thousand hills may be able to
procure nomination, they can never buy
the votes of the true democracy of Claren-
don in whatever party they may be found.
ReSOlDed,. 3. That the nomination of
Frederick Button was never made by the
free unbought will o. the nominating con-
vention and that it can never secure the
votes Of but meagre few of his fellow
townsmen.
Resolred, 4. That there are respecta-
bic number of wings and also of democrats
in Clarendon, who would sooner enquire
of candidate-"is he capable?" than to-
ask the amount of his Bank Stock-and
who would rather learn that he was honest
than to know that he kept large flock of
sheep and raised the finest wool Of any
man in town.
Resolved, ), That we do hereby erase
from the nominated wing Senatorial ticket
the name of Frederick Button, and insert
in It's stead the name of Doct. John Fox of
Wallingiord, man universally beloved
and reSpected-a man who has the two fun
damcntal qualifications honesty and capa-
bllty--a man who can secure every wing
vote in the county-a man who would a.
dopt the rule of ':doing unto others as he
would have them do unto him." rather than
the dlscl ple of any orthodox church.
Resolved, 6. That the candidates for
any office, from the President of the Uni
ted States down to the 18th corporal of
militia company who can not secure the
votes of his townsmen, neighbors and &C
qnaln'ances OF his own party is not ent-
tied to, and can not reasonably expect the
votes OF strangers Notwithstanding he may
have procured, by intrigue and crafty man
agcmcnt, for HIMSELF nomination.

A DEMOCRATIC FARMER

Wishes to know who are the best and
most honest merchants in our yilage!-
Well, that is rather hard question to an
swcr. However, there is our friend Bry-
antacross the way,who is a true blue demo-
crat-and that is about as sure guarantee
of honesty as anything we know of. Next
comes our neighbor Dana, who we must
give credit as being one of the cleyerest fell
lows in the state, although, 1--WE hate to say
it, he's wing, On the other side Of us
is Ford, who is man of too much sense
to cling so close to whlggery as he appears
to, but Otherwise, he is fine fellow and
keeps one of the best clerks in the whole
world. Last though not least by any means,
comes the Chapmans, over the way. True,
they have not the redeeming grace from
coonsm, which the Age office would give,
were they little nearer to it, But they
certainly are two Of the best fellows out,
and we wish we could put on the fin
ishing stroke by calling them the real DEM
ocralc Chapmans.
All the above keep a "phirst wrate" lot
of goods constantly on hand" besides
number of others in our village, who do the
same. So farmers you see you can all be
accommodated

of course cannot be disputed. But it is
certainly aIaughable as well as absurd idea,
that we should be accused Of falsehood for
no other reason than merely because ace
have proceed the Mercury and its kindred
prints guilty of it-yet such is the case
And every democrat and intelligent wing
can see with haitian eye that it is, and that
our accusers state that which is false,
when they charge us with publishing false
hoods in the Age.
True, occasional errors may creep into
any paper, but whenever they have been
discovered in the Age, we have always
made it rule to Immediately correct them.
But how contemplate must such willu,
malicious and silly falsehoods as have APP
pcared in the Mercury, for a few weeks
past, seem to the intelligent readers of that

the author of it liar, and in order to do
something to cvade the odium and disgrace
which is thus cast upon him, he and his
party, although they have lost all conf
dence in his paper, turn round and accuse
us without the least proof to sustain them
in the charge, of the same thing of which
we have just prOvcd the Mercury guilty
