ATTENTION, PICKLE EATERS Mr.. HEzEKIAH
G. SMITH raises strange species of cucumber
up the Bayou" which is certainly curiosity
in these parts. He has left with us specimen
which is between four and five feet long, and
we'll proportional. The vine on which it grew
is enormous, running entirely over Mr. SMITHS
house. The fruit is pendent, and when partly
grown makes excellent pickles. Mr.. SMITH

they were about two feet in'length, and says that
for making pickles his cucumbers are without a

those desiring may obtain seed. All who void
avail themselves of the opportunity can do so
on calling at our office.

election after the establishment of the Missouri
Compromise line, inst such storm swept over
the Northern States, as we are now Witnessing.
OF all the men in Congress who poted for that
line, says John p. Hale, but one was returned.
II was political death to nearly all. We'll thir-
ty.four years after the establishment Of the
hated line, it has been abolished. And what
do we see Nearly all the men who roted against
the line have been defeated The same class
of men that formerly punished the members of
Congress who roted for the line, is now dealing
destruction TO those members of Congress who
lately roted against the Objectionable line. Such
is the consistency of human passion and hu-
man frailty The Democrat who allows him.
self to be disheartened by the recent results in
the States named, is not worthy the appellation.
He does not at all understand the high import
Of the Democratic creed. He is ignorant of the
rudimental teachings which belong to his posi-
ton. The true Democrat has a faith founded
on principle. His motives are honest-hs con-
ceptions of duty clear. The excellence and
permanence of Democratic principles, he has
seen tested since the foundation of our Govern
ment. lie kuows that to their bencficent infu-
ence our people are indebted for their happy in
situations, their power as nation, and their
prosperity as individuals and as community.
Thus grounded in his opinions, the true demo-
crat never desponds. If misguided men, by dis
honest arts, orhonest error, succeed for time
in controlling the reins of power, he never
doubts for n moment the ultimate result; he
never wavers in the hour Of trial-never de-
serts when disaster and difficulty lower around
him. Standing serene and steadfast in his
faith, he doubts not for moment, that
truth crushed to Earth will rise again
The eternal years of God are hers
But Error, wounded writhes in pain,
And dies amid her worshpcrs,'
To suppose that the aggregation of ,isms
which has just carried the late elections with an
excitement and hurra, with no we'll considered
digest Of principles, is to remain controlling
party in this country, is absurd and proposter-
Gus. The elements Of these ismatcs are dis
cordant. They never can be brought into har.
mony with view to permanent and compre-
hensive action. That the Democratic party,
with its wise principles, its well considered plan
of action is to be long overborne by the motley
crew, now dominant, is not possible"

Mr.. BARNs:-My name appears in your col
umns as the nominee of the Democratic Conn.
tv Convention, held at Grand Haven, on the 10th
inst, for the office of Sheriff. 1t was made at
the instance of my friends, without my knowl-
edge or expectation. | feel grateful to them for
this distinguished mark Of their confidence and
partiality. However incompetent deem my
seffor the due discharge of such trust, shord
feel proud 70 serve them with my best efforts
did not circumstances compel me TO dec line the
honor conferred. again thank them with the as
surance that if ! cannot allow myself to tight
in the front rank Of the Democratic phalanx
they may rely on my best exertons in the rear
guard. am reported by certain "Woolly
Heads" rs "Fusionist" and Free Soier."
Indeed, as our fathers Of '76, so would stand
by the principles of freesoil for the States and
Territories alike with free liberty to govern
themselves unbridled by Congressional provisos
or geographical linea distinctions subject only
to the constitution Of the United States, leaving
the Territories free to regulate their own do
nestle institutions on par with the reserved
rights of the people of the States. Are our
parents, brothers, children and neighbors, that
90 out from us, bone of our bone, less intelli-
gent as to their best inte ests because they are
pioneers of the wilderness? Can zoe prescribe
for them thousand miles off better than they
at home, and who alone are to abide the conse-
broad ground that man was capable of self
government. They were right, and commenced
the experiment; time and experience must
prove the truth of the position, develop and
perfect the rule of action for its accomplishment.
The attempt of the Fusionists" to prescribe
rules for and to tyrannize over our brethren,
of the East, West, North or South, never can
advance the principle of free selfgovernment,
whose equal rights are guaranteed to them by
the sacred compromises of our glorious Union.
Correct views of civil and religious liberty have
been on the advance ever since the selfgovern-
ment principle was assumed, and the experiment
commenced. ! esteem the free principles in
grated into our late Territorial organizations
the last great advance in the good cause, and
ken our " Fusonsts" with their Wilmot pro-
visos, their pseudo free principles and free soil
to the early NOLAN edans, who held the sword,
in one hand and the Koran in the other" adopt
our principles and we will only make slaves of
you" ] therefore conclude shall not desert
that party under whose guidance and adopted
rules the country has risen to its present unpar-
aecd prosperous condition. stand in their
ranks now and forever. RICHARD PLATT.

AN ANCIENT PEAR TREE-There was to be
seen at the Horticultural Exhibition at Newton,
lately, a branch taken from pear tree, believed
to have been planted by John Jackson, the first
permanent settler in Newton. The deed which
conveyed the land on which the tree was plant
ed is dated 1859, and the tree is doubtless up
wards of two hundred years old. The tree bore
this year some four or five bushels, and the
branch exhibited, some three feet long, had upon
it some thirty specimens. The quality of the
pear is rather poor, but the great ago Of the tree
is another instance of the hardihood of the yari.

muncation from Mr.. PLATT in another column,
wherein he declines being candidate for Sher-

seem to have been very industriously misrepre-
scented in some parts of the county.

WHAT Is THE CONDITION OF THE DEMOCRAT

question:
"lts recent State Convention has enabled us
to Judge. This disturbed state of political ele-
mcnts the great noise, and the boast of victory
made by the Republicans, have caused the Dem

that Nebraska and Kansas piU be free soil has

READ Tms.-The New York Evening Post,
heretofore bitter and uncompromising Anti
Nebraska paper "does. not mourn over the re-
suit" but says: .......
"We do not believe it polite for the people
of the Free States to restore the Missouri Com
promise, even if they have it in their power
They can do better. That Compromise was a
hard bargain for the Free States. While it was
on the statute book we stood by it. Not only
Kansas and Nebraska and the other territory be-
fore secured to freedom shall now be free, but
so also shall every other State which shall here
after come into this Union"
Why was the Missouri Compromise hard
bargain for the Free States? Because it was

CAN'T co THE FUsIoN.-The MacoDb county
Wing Convention, held at Mt Clemens on the

RESOLVED, That we, as whigs-admonishe by
the disastrous experience of the past of the utter
fallacy of attempting to gain strength, either in
the State or county, by abandoning, even for a
time, our party organization, and going over to
faction whose past acts have tended more than
any other cause to create discord and dssatis-
faction in our ranks--do most heartily deprecate
this so-called Fusion" movement, preferrng if
must needs be, an honorable defeat under the
time-honored banner of our party, to doubtful
victory under the lead ofthose who have sought
to bring it into disgrace.

Commissioners OF THE STATE LAND OFTUE.--,
The Jackson Patriot well and truly says, that
Mr.. Allen Goodridge, the democratic nominee
for this important Office is man who combines
in himself all the qualifications necessary to a.
strict, efficient, and conscientious performances
ofits duties. He has been connected with tho
State Land Office for nearly six years, and du-
ring all that time has had charge of the practical
business Of the office. No man in the State
so we'll understands the duties-no man so ca
pabe of honestly and faithfully fulfilling them.
But what will, above all, recommend him to the
electors Of the State, is the fact that he is by no.
means politician. The nominations was not
conferred upon him because he had strong polit-
ical friends, or wide political influence, The in
terests Of the State will be safe in his hands,,
lie received the nomination from the convention
as tribute to his sterling worth as man, and,
his we'll known qualification for the station.

"Fools only in his company were seen
the prudent Stunned him and his hous

tho prudent stunned him and his house,
As one who had deadly moral plague"
The Detroit Tribune, short time since pro-
mulgated with great assiduity, Roorbacls,'.
" That Governor Barry is the owner of plan
tation and negroes at the South!' The lie was
too glaring; it didn't catch even; at first, the
Abolition satellites of the Tribune would not
touch the foul thing scarcely paper in the
State even copied it Again and again did
the Tribune reiteratc in glaring capitals, shat
John s. Barry was Shareholder" Again
and again did it ask" Will the freemen of
Michigan, have Shareholder for Governors"
few echoes of the Tribune, equally lost TO
all selfrespect, and impulse Of honor, finally
came to its rescue, became partners in its guilt,
took share in its bank of lies, and gave public
ity to the falsehood. The more respectable por-
ton of the Republican press, however, we are
proud to say-we give honor to the honorable,
would not even pay the Tribune reverence, by
giving its SANDER passing notice. We trust
this silent rebuke of its more decent and high
minded confederatcs, will not be lost on that
mendacious sheet.
The Tribune ought to know that the habit OF
lying is not only contemplate, but that it is de-
grading also, and species Of business that pays
but small profit, to offset against the real dam
age the liar does to himself. While we despise,
we cannot help plying the man, who is so blind
to his own true interests, as to allow himself to
indulge in this most infamous habit.
