principle which the great godfather Of |
loeoiocoisn. Ancrew Jackson, expound- |
cd when he Grst came into the Pr~sidcn- |
cy in 1926 aud that party have opera
ted upon that rule since that time
Therefore, we see no good reason Why
the Whigs should ever make an excep-
ton 10 il, when they are in power; let
W serve 10 eur opponents the food ior
which they have SO long manifested a
preference. Last year, when the loco
focos came into power, they i.uLd the
Offices in tins Stale filed by good and
competent men who had long di'chnrg-
ed the duties incumbent upon them in
a most acceptable and satisfactory man.
ner, r,-men who were IN all respects en-
tirely familiar with everything which
pertained TO The respective Offices which
they held, and yet every Wing, with
a single exception, (Mr. Bennett, Clerk
Of one Of the. Courts in Bristol County,
who was accidentally re.elec,ed) was
unecremoniously removed, and his place
flled by u iocotoco. Now that the Wings
have recovered the power, let us admin;
lister the same dose TO our opponents
lc, every incumbent be removed, and
his place filled by the man who occupied
il before, if he desires the office; and if
there are cases where our old friends do
not desire 10 be re-instated and we
know a few such,-let US select other
good Wings in their places. We desire
to have clean sweep; do not let sin
gle individual hold All office this year,
who was retained by the locofocos, ex-
ccpt Mr.. Bennett, Of Bristol, no matter
how small the Office, even TO Notarics
Public and Justices Of the Peace. Clear
the course, sweep The arena, and leave
not "A vestige OF locofocoism behind. We
have many es,imable frienos among the
Iocoiocos who are now in Office but this
makes no differentiation with US, purity
considerations, party duty, and party
preferences arc superior TO all other ties
the Whigs have gone through the con-
test most nobly, and they had sll man
,ner si dome site and foreign influences
10 contend with they have discharged
their duty maniuly and honorably. and
they are deserving Of whatever Offices Of
honor or emolument the Grand Commit
tee have 10 bcs,ow. The great body Of
the Wing party will no, be satisfied
with anything short Of this, and We say
let them be gratItied, for they are en'i-
tied to oil reasonable reward and indul-
genee.
SULPHUR FOR GRAPE VInss.-To pre-
vsn' snildew on grapes, sulphur is found
: ehicacious. A tin box for holding the
sulPher Is placed on the upper side OF
the pipe OF pair OF common bellows
The sulphur gets into the pipe through
small holes made Tor the purpose in the
bottom Of the box, and in order that no
s,oppage may take Place, small ham
mer head attached al the end OF a slight
steel spring. is fixed OIL The under side
Of the bellows--a gentle tap from which

which they arc intended equally as wei
as n more expensive machine.
