From the Ohio Cultiudior.
Sowing Clover among Corn.

On the 9Th Of last July, we finished sowing field
of corn with clover. We sowed Immediately after
the pow the last working, giving the seed chance,
while the ground was fresh and loose
1t took well, stood hard fall drouh and came on
vigorous this year, than that sown on small
grain tho spring previous.
The soil is various, including oam clay. and grav-
ell, with ridge poor that it would scarcely pro-
duce nubbin of corn tn the hill. We sowed the
ridge, because il easier to sow than to skip 1t,
thinking it scarcely possible that clover could live
on it, but we are happily disappointed to tol-
cradle growth of clover on it at present.
Two other experiments came under our observa-
ton; one in this and the other in Butler county.
One sowed after the pillow The 30th Of July, and
failed, except strip next the woods, where il was
protected by the shade.
The other sowed after the cultvator, on very dry
soil, the latter part of August, and failed entirely.
These mention caution to others to IN
season.
We were informed by an experienced farmer of In
diana, that latcry he sowed on corn almost entirely,
and though, 1t much preferable TO the old way OF SOW
ing in spring grain. He "prefers tosow immediate
ly uer the puw, in his early corn, about the last OF
June or first of July; then 1t will get the harvest
rains, sprout, and send forth lis tap root, and
get hold sufficiently deep enable it TO bid defiance
to any ordinary drouth; whereas. if sowed late, as
in the above cases. il springs into life till the
drouth comes and parches il TO death.
The advantage of this practice will be derived by
corn farmers-grass growers don't need it.
1t doubles the chances of getting field OF clover
in any given year.
1t offers profitable and practicable mode Of keep
ing corn field not suited TO The production of small
grain, in a high state of fertility IL.

The editor of The Indiana Journal is borried at the
prospect of eleciing STAKEHOLDER to Office, notwith-
standing his support of the owner Of at least three
hundred negro slaves for President of the United
States and the editor of The Lafayette Journal would
shudder at the same idea notwithstandng'h thinks
that three hundred negroes and sugar plantation are
essential to the comfort of retired President in his
declining years The Journal editor finds great fault
with an amendment offered by Mr. Bright to the Ore
gun bill. which he says himself, mojority of the
Southern members. including Mr.. Calhoun, voted
against.
MIR. Bright, in the opinion Of the Journal, no doubt
also committed an objectionable sin yenrs
since in marrying Kentucky girl, whose father or
grandfather owned neg roes and. as, in his opinion,
Mr.. B., is now the only candidate the Democrats will
have for United States Senator, there must be wing

voked the democrats stick to him. Now, since he
thinks there prospect Of the election Of his broth

is forgotten. Caleb B. Smith is in his eye-ibe Gal

An UnrighieOus Law.

Under this caption the Goshen Democrat has an
article in relation to the judgment recently rendered
in the United States Court against Newton and 9TH
ers, which betrays the ignorance of the editor upon
the subject about which he writes. The judgment
rendered in the Federal and not State Court.
1t was for the price of four fugitive slaves, and was
founded upon of Congress, the Constitution of
the United Staies and the settled decisions of the Su
preme Court. He says "we have hesitation in pro-
nouncing any law of the State of Indiana, that would
authorize such judgment, unrighteous law and
that should be Immediately repealed" Now,
there is no such law the statute book Of Indiana
Again. he says: "By the laws of the State of Indi-
ana, Kentuckian may to State, kidnap
free born citizen drag him through the streets, in
broad day light, and rive upon his lacerated limbs
the fe,ters of perpetual slavery" There is such
law in the State of Indiana any other State in this
Union. and we defy any man, to show single in
stance where .'iree born citizen Of Indiana" has
ever been dragged into perpetual slavery. 1t is a
SANDER upon the State Again he says, without at
tempting quote his words, that any person, inter-
fering, is subject to judgment for the price of the
negro Now there is such statute in Indiana, and
if there any such provisions in our laws. they
would be void under the decision of the Supreme
Court The power to legislate upon the subject Of
fugitive slaves is power derived from the Consttu.
ton uf the United States and the sole powers of leg
islation that subject, belongs to Congress. He
says the existence of such laws creates The necessi
ty for change in the Constitution. How in Heav
ems name change in the constitution of Indi
ana remedy the evil of which he complaints Would
he insert provision against the arrest Of fugitive
slaves! Such'a provision would be void SO long u.
the Constitution OF the United States is in force ont
the acts of Congress unrepealed. We will have nj
quarrel with the editor the subject Of these laws
But we do object his wholesale and gross msrepre
sentation of the statutes Of indiana. We vindicat
the truth of our Legislation and hope the editor
when he writes again, will read the Constitution q
the United States, the law of Congress, and the re
vised code of Indiana, and then he will understand
subject upon which ne wishes to enlighen his read
ers. and not create prejudice against our law
without any foundation in truth.

Pairing OF.

Those who have given any attention to the pro-
ceedings of Congress, often among the reports,
that member, when called, asked to be excused
from voting, because he has paired off with some
other member. This practice of late has become very
fashionable. A democratic member wishes to leave
the city on visit to his family; he finds some wing
who desires TO do the same they agree to pair off
and be absent for given time and if either returns
before the expiration he is in honor bound
They being opposed in politics. the general result OF
any party vote is changed. But this pairing of

immediately called the President, who seemed
