TRIED POLITICIANS.

The article, following embraces the senh
ments that govern every true Democrat
Whenever men will bolt from nomination
because they have not been taken up, shows
sordid appetite for Office that people do no
like to cultivate to any great extent. We
have few men to which the remarks Of the
Chicago Democrat would apply V Hell, and dc
not wish them to consider it just selected
expressly for taem, but also for any that may
hereafter prove bogus. How truent like ii
is for man to come out for an Office in a
party, and because he is defeated to forsahe
the principles which were once so good
Let each Democrat examine himself and see
if he could be SO mean and corrupt. We
known some professed ones might, but none
that are true could.
Read the extract below taken from the
Chicago Democrat.
"Nothng tries mans attachment to the
party to which he belongs like being disap~
pointed in his aspirations to nomination. II
principle really predomlnates, when this trial
comes, there will beno f1inchnc, no talking Of
stump candidates, but a cordial acquiescence
in the will of the party, and readiness to lend
a helping hand for the triumph of the ticket.
This we have seen done by many an intell-
gent and worthy democrats, and shall see it
again, doubles, on many occasions, for, when
several good men are candidates for the same
office, some of them, must of necessity, be
disappointed. But nothing commends man
to his party and to the community so much, as
for him TO yield bis support to competitor,
when the party has made choice between
them. Like pure coin when tried by the acid,
he is regarded as doably valuable for having
stood the test--for having demonstrated that
he is democrat from principle, and not for
the foaves and fishes But when this 'con
vention acid of disappointment is applied to
a man, and he turns green, talks of bolt
ing, considers one party as good as another,
the evidence is complete that he is bogus, and
he should never again pass current. Rogues
deal in bogus ciou, but among the honest and
the upright no countenance is given to it,
In like manner should all spurious democrats
be forever rejected. Most ofthe eucandid tes
before the late Convention in this county have
proved themselves TO be the true coin.' and
are giving their cordial support to the ticket
that is nominated. We trust that all will do
the like. But if this should not prove to be
the case, and any should prove to be bogus,
let them forever after oe rejected There is
enough of the true cion, of democracy to do
the business Of this county, and the sooner
the spurious is out of circulation the better.n

fAP2R versus SpEclE.-Notwithstan
the large importations OF specie into tins
country during the past year, it is diff
cult to get specie change for even one
dollar bill. Our merchants and business
men all complain Of this; and by our ex
changes. we notice that it is SO allover tne
State. The cause is obvious. The bauks
hoard the specie, and that their secret
agents and brokers may bay ~ for them
the foreign paper put sfoat among us, the,
are now discrediting il. This induces The
people TO hold on TO The little change the,
have, and whenever they wish 10 purchase
few cents worth Of any thing, offer dol
lar bill that they may get the balance 10
specie to lay By. The result is general
stsgnation of business arrangement Of
tbe circulating medium, and general
war among the banks, by which suspen-
sion Of specie payments is brought on, in
most cases, and the great masses are TO
pay the paper. Those who are wise will

LINES ON A SKELETON.

Behold this ruin!-'twas skull,
Once OF ethereal spirit FULL
This narrow cell was lifes retreat--
This space was thoughts mysterious seat;
What beauteous pictures filled this spot!
What dreams Of pleasure long forgot!
Nor love, nor Joy, nor hope, nor fear,
Has left one trace Of record here.
Beneath this Wondering canopy
Once shone the bright and busy eye:
But start not at the dismal vod--
If social love that eye employed
If with no lawless fire It gleam'd,
But through the dew OF kindness beam'd,
That eye shall be forever bright,
When stars and suns have lost their light.
Here, in this silent cavern hung
The ready, swift, and tuneful tongue
If falsehood's honey it disdained,
And where it could not praise was chaind d,
II bold in virtues cause it spoke,
Yet gentle concord never broke,
That tuneful tongue shall plead for thee,
When death unveils eternity.
Say, did these fingers delve the mine.
Or with its envied rubies shine?
To hew the rock, or wear the gem.
Can nothing now avail 10 them7
But if the page of truth they sought.
Or comfort to the mourner brought,
These hands a richer need shall claim.
Than all tina. waits on wealth or fame.
Avails it, whether bare or shod,
These feet the path Of duty trod!
If from the bowers Of Joy they fled,
To soothe aflction's humble bed,
If grandeur's guilty brbe they spurn'd,
And home to virtues lap returned,
These fee. with angels wings shall vie.
And tread the palace Of the sky.

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

There are some things that farmers should
know.
1t is error TO plant seeds from a State further
south. If cold season, only the seed Of colder
climate will Iipen well.
Often breaking up a surface keeps soil in
health; for when it lies in hard bound state en-
riching showers Iun off, and the salubrious air
cannot enter.
Weeds exhaust the strength Of the ground and
if suffered to grow may be called garden sins.
Never keep your cattle short; few farmers can
afford it. lfyou starve them they will starve you.
1t will not do 10 hoe great field for little
crop, or to NOW twenty acres for five loads OF
hay. Enrich the land and it will pay you for it.
Better farm thirty acres well than fifty acres
by halves.
In dry pastures dig for water on the brow oil
hill; springs are more frequently near the sur.
face on height than in a vale.
Cut bushes that you wish 10 destroy. in the
summer, and with sharp instrument; they will
bleed freely and die.
Never plough in bad weather, or when the
ground is very wet.
When an implement is no longer wanted FOL
the season. lay il carefully aside, but first let it b.
we'll cleansed.
Obtain good seed, prepare your ground well
sow early and pay very little attention 10 the moon
The depredalons Of birds are fully compen
stated by the services they render in preying upol
insects.
A bare pasture enriches not the soil, nor fat
tens the animals, nor increases the wealth OF tn
owner.
One animal we'll fed is OF moro value tina
two poorly kept
Sow clover deep, ii secures it against tn
drought.
Weeds that grow unmoesled round the fencinl
stumps, and stones, scatter their seeds over III
farm, and ore very likely to grow.
