The mode of cultivation recommended is
10 sow the seed. previously soaked four OF

apart, the rows three fret, in corn planting

for that crop; and like il KEEP, clean from
weeds. The FIRST SEASON they will grow

they may he SET out where desired in a

Alabamas-The Tuscaloosa Monitor
Of The 22d uli. SAYS: H.
All the indications in this quarter are
Of the most cheering kind. Il is utterly
impossible TO rally the Democrats Of Tus-
caloosa county upon Gen. Cass. His no.
minaiion is a dead weight upon his par
~. Those who supper, him do not do
il cordially. On the other hand, there il
nothing in the views Of Gen. Taylor 10
make him offensive 10 any party. In re-
gard To the questions which have excited
the warmest controversy in times past,
but which are now in a great measure set
aside, such as The tariff, the currency, and
internal improvements, he maintains that
the will oflhe people, as expressed through
their representatives. should govern. If
any man claims thai the will Of the people
should moi govern, he must be very poor
Democrat, and quite as poor Whig."
