Successful Farming.

A worthy clergyman informed US recent
ly, that he purchased seven acres OF mis-.
cradle, sandy land in the neighborhood Of
Saratoga, few years since, which, by ma
nuring and judicious cultivalion,he brought
up to such condition, that from three acres
and hall a only, he produced green fodder
throughout, the season, for three cows, one
bull, one horse, and seven sheep; and
cut al! the hay consumed by them in
the winter. The hay, however. was pierced
on; by the use Of grain, roots, and straw,
taken from the remaining half of the seven
acres. When the land sold. he received
over SlOO an acre, for what few years
previously. was bought for as many shil-
llngs.
We have kept good lookout for sue.
cesslul farming, for the last few years, and
have invariably found, that intelligence and
careful investigation Of the experiments
and best practices of others, furnished the
ground work for the superiority Of every
one who has attained to eminence in agrl-
culture. So much for book farmiag.-

pA writer in the Pennsylvanian
gives notice that three propositions are to
come before the Democratic State Conyen.
ton at Williamsport. next week.
l. That the time and place for holding
Sac C,nven.ions be fixed, permanently,
and uniformly.
2. TO dispense with Senatorial Dele.
gates, and give each county certain mum.
Der of Delegates in propotion to the mum.
Der of Democratic voters in it, each county
having at least one Delegate.
3. That the Delegates be chosen with
in three or four months Of the day OF
meeting Of the Convention.
The reasons for the propositions are
good. and ii 10 them could be added The
Single Dis.ric. plan Of elec,ing Delegates,
we should consider it system worthy the
adoption Of all parties. The Single Dis
lrct system works well in the election OF
Congressman. and in the election Of Legis-
Iators in New York State, and is quite as
Republican in the manner Of the nomna-
ton as in the election Of officers.

Position Of the Slavery Issue.

The recent intelligence from California,
TINT lis people, tired Of the infamous cavlls OF
the Saveocracy. talked Of an independent
Government, has created as much JOY in
the ranks Of the moral traitors in Congress,
as we may imagine the Fall of Man did in
Pan6emonium. At the same time. it is tru

er "pira,es" or "heroes" will depend upon
their success) OF all nations and castles. are
preparing 10 attack the Spanish Island Of
Cuba, and '' annex" it TO the Union. al,ho'
We are at peace with that nation. Pres.
Taylor has exerted himself to prevent any
such movement from our shores, but the
slave interest is so intent upon getting
aaolher State to offset California, ,ha, ii
will break the rules Of nations and the
