Is IT So The St Ions onion says that
the Western part of Iowa, is strongly in favor
Of James Buchanan of Pennsylvania, for the
Presidency. May not the Union be mistaken
in this 2 Mr.. Buchanan is very great and
good man "a consistent democrat, profound
statesman anda pure patriot.-but yet fails to
attract the sympathy, or unite the confidence Of
the masses. His popularity may be considered
SECTIONAL rather than general, and while he has
true admirers and fast friends in every part o.
the Union, he does not seem to command the
support of any great number in any one place
unless it be in his own State. We do not be

ENGLAND AND THE IRISH EuIGRArIoS-
The Washington Republic has an interesting
article on the subject of the British peasantry,
to which it adds The following;
Unless some great change occur, the day is
not remote when the rural districts Of England
and Scotland will furnish telnents akin to the
following, which we cut from the Irish cores
pondent of the London Times
"a gentleman who has been travelling in the
southern counties, a melancholy account of the
absolute desolation caused by the continuous
flight Of the masses towards the land OF promise
at the other side of the Atlantic. In district
Of some twelve miles of country, ut the XII
kenny side of the county of Waterford, the
popuiation have altogether disappeared /; there
was not, he says, a human face to be seen du-
rino drive of two hours ; the very dogs had
deserted, and the place looked as II some pesti-
ence had swept away all traces Of the inhabi-
tants. As one ofthe natural consequences OF
the Celtic exodus, the prosiession of the law is
nearly annihilated in all its branches-barrst.rs

ruin. The encumbcred court has all but swal-
lowed up chancery, with its very long fees and

There is no other very striking point in the

AN AMERICAN STEAMER FIRED lNTo we
learn through the Chicago Tribune, which con-
tains dates up to the lst inst from New York
that the Captain of the Steamer Promotheus,
reports, that as he was leaving San Juan, the
English brig of war Express, fired two shots
at his boat, both shots passing within very short
distance of the boat.
The reason assigned by the Captain Of the
English brig, for this high handed measure, was
to protect the authorities Of Grcytown, s.who
had demanded what Capt. Churchell, deemed
illegal port chirges, and threatened to fire a
bombshcll unless the fires of the Steamer We're
put out and the vessel brought to anchor Capt
submitted and paid the charges under a pro
test.
Under date of New York, the 9th inst, we
learn that the Secretary of State Mr. Webster,
has addressed despatch to our Minister, at the
Court of st. James, Mr.. Lawrence, to ascer-
tain from Lord Palnlerston, whether the outrage
upon the Prometheus was Authorised by standing

cEED Po3 CO oPS

How Often it is that we observe our farmers ,du
| ring the winter sea o. and fen, immediately,
after the harvest, separating their grain and
other produce for the purposes of seed, market
and feed for their stock. OF their potatoes, they
Iwill select the largest, for home consumption,
the market, Or their cattle, and all the small
ones, they viii carefully preserve for seed. The
reason they assign for this course is, that like
will produce like, and if you plant potatoes, the
yield will be potatoes, and there is no use to
use the fine large ones up, when the small ones
will do, and 60 great deal farther in planting,
or cutting. This is a doctrine and system of
economy mnc: in vogue amongst certain class
! of farmers ana who are never 81 ali quality with
their neighbors, either in point If yield, quail
tv. The small potatoes those which should
be fed, and the largest ones should be invariably
selected for seed The adoption Of this rule will
always secure an abundance in yield and a
great superiority in quality. So likewise with
all classes of grain. For example, we would
say to our farmers who are corn growers that if
they wish to improve the quality of their crops
best and farest ears and lay them aside for seed.
Moreover there is another very important con-
sideraton connected with this selection 1t is
the desire of all our agricultural readers to have
as early crops ofcorn possible, and especially
SO in our State, where at best. our seasons are
short. This is to be done more ef1ectualy in
the selection of your corn for seed than by any
other means. Select always the largest and fair
est ears of that corn which ripens first, and in
the second crop you will observe a very mate
rial, and often times, TO the farmers, most i'm
portant difference in the period of ripcning. Il
as a anirersnl idB of nature that sslike begets
like Well selected and early seed corn, will
becet a well filled and early crop. For the sake
of experiment it would be well for some of our
readers to test this dos'rine, and they will find
that seed corn, almost without exception, will
produce crop, which will ripen just about
the same time that it ripened. Taking it for gran
ted then that such is the fact, it is a matter of
some importance that, that corn which ripcned
first, should by all means be set apart for seed;
for the reason that if the later ears be selected
late crop must necessarily follow, which, in the
great majority of instances, results in the detr-
ment of the farmer There is a treatment too,
due to seed corn which may not be generally
understood, though much practised in the East
ern and Middle States, and which is as follows,
viz: The ears intended to be preserved for seed,
should be gathered Immediately upon their be-
coming thoroughly rpcned, which period is as
certained by the husks turning white. They
should be hung up or so placed as TO enjoy free
circulation of air all winter, where they would
be free from rats and nice. 5EAE Ia
