IRISH PoTAToEs. Every farmer in our country
is convinced of the value of this culinary vegetable,
and every one knows that vast amount of money
is annually paid for seed potatoes, imported from
the North. And it onght to be known by every
one that he not only raise his own seed, but
may have good Irish potatoes for his table through
out the whole year, if he will only adopt the right
plan.
Potatoes intended for spring use should of course
be planted early but those intended to be preserved
throughout the winter season should not be plant
ed earlier than May. And indeed the present is
as good time any, perhaps the very best, for
planting. The Irish potatoe luxuriates in soil of
rich sandy loan, and are not apt to rot as when
cultivated soils containing excess of moisture.
Potatoes planted about the latter end of May or
beginning of June will be found to grow well, and
should not be dug until the potatoe has been fully
matured, which is always indicated by the vine
shedding its leaves and turning dry and whitish.
The potatoe when ready for digging is entirely
separated from the vine, and not until this can it
be said to be fully ripe, and if dug before, in nine
cases out of ten will rot.
The mode of preserving the Irish potatoe differs
but little from that practised with the sweet pota-
Toe. The mode of digging is the same, and in
countries where the Irish potatoe extensively cul
tivated they ale put away in banks, somewhat re-
sembling grave in shape, and Sometimes of the
immense length of ten to twestv poles. The pota-
toes are piled up neatly to about the height Of
three feet are covered with clean dry straw, and
then covered with bank Of earth from 10 to IL
inches thick made perfectly sharp at the top, taking
the shape of the potatoe bank within. In this way
they are preserved, during the winter, and in the
spring are hauled in the potatoe house or barn.
and are spread as thnly possible on the floor and
turned over every or 10 days with a wooden SHOW
ell to prevent them from sprouting. Let our farm
ers try this plan, of which we have given but a
hasty sketch, and we will insure them good dish
of potatoes during the whole year, and plenty Of
seed without importing
We would advise every farmer in North Carroll.
to plant bushe just at this time, and try the
experiment. Our enterprising neighbor, VIM. K
Lane, supplied several Of his neighbors this Spring
with seed potatoes, larger and better than most o.
those imported, and they were raised and saved
pretty much as described above. Colds NeaO Era.

American citizen should have shown himself on the
side OF his country, and neither morally physically,
by word or deed, have given aid and comfort to the

ResolUed, That rejoice at the restoration of
friendly relations with our sister Republic of Mexico,
and earnestly desire for her all the blessings and pros

and we congratulate the American people upon the
results of that war, which have manfestly justified

insured to the United States indemnity for the past

Res0ved, That in view of the condition of popular
institutions in the old world high and sacred duty
is devolved with increased responsibility upon the
Democratic party of this country the party of the

State, and thereby the Union of the States, and to
sustain and advance among constitutional liberty,

These Resolutions embody the old Jefersonian

have received time and again the sanction of the
American people. There they are, in language so

Trss Banking.

Mn. EDITOR There was much truth
in the saying Of a certain statesman,---
that the world Is governed too much" "
snd certainly in the history Of financial
legislation in this country for the last
twenty-five years in regard to banks; the
truth Of the assertion has been exemplif-
cd. In former article, have mentioned
the !" Blue laws Of Pennsylvania and New
Jersey, as specimens Of the insane folly
Of such Legislation. It is not my purpose
to 20 into an examination of those singu-
lar enactments. except to say, that If any
case arising under them was carried by
the citizens of another state, to the Su-
preme Court OF the United States, they
would be pronounced unconstitutional
The mere ACT offering the bills OF other
State banks in those States is not a Grim.
inal offence and the notes of the State
bank Of Louisiana are certainly as safe
and reliable as the shinplasters Of Pensyl-
vania OF New Jersey or any other State.
The system Of Free Banking. is Of re-
cent origin, and consequently not 90 well
understood by the people generally rs it
should and will be.
It is probable that our country's growth
and rapid population Of new territories,
the developement of 80 many avenues to
fortune and wealth, its vast extent and in
crease Of wants will render necessary the
use Of bank notes for many years to come.
Hence, it will be a matter Of necessity
and convenience, that our currency should
partake OF mixed character. to some ex.
tent at least. Silver and gold, our ma
tional currency is the only kind of cur
rency the Government can supply; and
that not in quantities sufficient TO meet the
wants OF the people. When the General
Government has coined it's silver and goli. !.
aud sent ii abroad for circulation, it has
done all il can do, or can be expested to
do in that connection. The exploded no.
sions Of an u. $. Bank ought never to be
revived again, and as light is let IN upon
the public mind on these matters there il lit
tie fear Of a renewal OF the odious character
of "a National Bark. The next step, 10 for
the States themselves. to take measures
within their own, and the National Con.
s.itution to supply their own citizens with
the paper currency az far as needed, and
within safe aud legal limits. AT this
point the Free Banking system comes in
to recommend itself 10 general favor.
If in any community bank notes are
necessary, they should be valued for the
amount they represent, and to make them
at all times safe and reliable, is the object
sought after in all the legislation that has
taken place on this subject.
I will In d few articles on this subject,
examine the several systems adopted by
several states, and from them, the people
Of Louisiana through their Convention
soon to assemble. can CLEAN sufficient to
enable them to adopt like remedy for all
the ills entaiIed upon them. by the irres-
possibility Of exclusive chartered monop-
olies.
