fall. In some of the counties there were no
elections held at ALL and in others, Jefferson

so unimportant and uninteresting that no regu-

The Crisis is Coming.

1t is folly longer to deny the self-evident
truth, that the question Of Slavery and
Freedom, is about to be presented to the
American People for their decision one
way or tue other. 1t can not be farther
deferred. The proceedings Of the South
have has.ened the progress ofevents tend
ing to this termination. With the adop-
ton of the Compromise Measures Of 1850,
which received most reluctant adhesion
from the Free States, it was announced
authoritatively by the leading men of the
Slave States, and by the presses in their
interests, that these measures, affecting the
delicate and annoying questions that had
so long agitated the nation, should be q
lasting and fual settlement. The Free
States, we say, yielded reluctantly, but
they did yield, and they did adhere to the
Compromise as virtually and practically
binding upon them, and as a final adjust
ment of the grave difficulties at issue. In
doing so, they had hoped, as they had the
strongest reasons to do, that having again
submitted to the exactions Of the South,
in matters that severely tried their priu-
ciples and their consc;enccs, the South
would now be content, and be careful not
again to stir up the sediment Of sectional
excitement, and sectional danger, which
lio at the bottom of these measures.
Did the Free States realise their reason
able expectations from these patriotic con-
cessions? Aud did the Slave States main.
tain their solemn obligations regarding
them? The repeal Of the Missouri Com
promise will answer the question. twill
not DO to say that that iniquitous procee-
ding vas the work Of FREQ State man,
and that whatever responsibility there is
connected With the repeal, he is account
able. 1t is we'll understood how the con.
spiracy which led to this outrage upon
plighted faith and sacred compact, was
concocted and carried through. 1t is well
understood that the Presidency was to be
the bribe for the treason Of the Illinois Sc
nator, and that the infamy Of the act was
to be shielded BY the egis of this high
office. Mr.. Douglas is not the first man
who sold his principles and bis position for
oficial expectations and aspirations, even

THE FARM:
The Glrden...Ihc Orchard.
Corn for Soil;ng and Fodder.

We copy the following reasons why far,
mers should SOW portion of corn for fod.
der the present season, from the american
Agriculurist. 1t may be sown nearly as
late as the middle of summer, provided it
is sown in drills, cultivated, and used eth
er for autumn soiling, or dried under shell
ter, as for instance ir the loft of q shed on
/. NOV, or otherwise covered from rain.
For stacking out, cornfodder should bo
sown by the first of summer, dried some
some weeks after cutting, salted, rentilat-
ed, and Put in small stacks. If these pre-
cautions are not taken, it will mould and
spoil.
There are certain portions of spare land
on many farms, which may prohtably be
devoted to this crop, yielding large re-
turn, and often proving very advantageous
during the dry part of autumn, when pas
ture is dry aud short The corn may be
easily sowu in furrows three feet apart,
from hand basket, and covered BY run
ming q cne.horse cultivator lengthwise.
Two bushels per acre are enough. No hoe-
ing is needed and if the cuitivator is pas
sed along once or more, it will leave the
ground quito clean when the crop is re-
moved, all the weeds being smothered
down.
[We have ourselves sown as late as the
middle of July, or later, and had it make
the best of fall and winter fodder. Mr..
John Brown, also, Of thi, place, put in
abou. an acre of corn in drills, after taking
off the wheat, last summer, and tins secur-
ed a very great weight of most excellent
fodder forwinter use.-Bewisb'irg Caron.

cd an iron PAM so hard, that it was with
difficulty broken up with pick, and my
bailif, who had looked after the lands for
thirty five years, declared tha. they were
not worth tilling, tina. all the neighboring
farmers said the same thing, ,and that there
was bu, one thing TO te done, viz, to plaG:
with ir and forest trees. But to this |
paid but little attention, as | had the year
previous, allotted some parcels Of ground
taken out of the adjoining lands, to some
cottages, to each cottage about one third
of an acre. The crops on these parcels
looked fine, healthy, and good, producing
excellent wheat, carrots cabbage, potatoes,
and other vegetables in abundance. The
question then was, how was this done!
On The outside of the cottage lots, all was
barren. 1t could not be from manure, for
the cot.agers had none but what they
scraped up in the roads The fact was the
whole magic lay in the spade, by which
the land was broken open eighteen inches
deep. As to digging up Eve hundred acres
in this way, at heavy loss, could not
attempt it. accordingly considered that
a plow might be constructed, that would
loosen the soil to the depth of eighteen
inches, (keeping the best soil at the top
thus admitting the air and moisture to the
roots of the plants, and enabling them to
extend their spongioles in search Of food,
for air, moisture, and extent Of pasture,
are as necessary to the thriving and in
crease of vegetables, as Of animals
"In this attempt succeeded, as The
result will show. l have now broken up
all these five hundred acres, eighteen inch
es deep. The sub-soil plow followed il
the furrow after the other, ard the sub
stratum was SO hard, that the horses were
frequently set fast, requiring the use of
picks to loosen the soil, tina. they might
proceed. After the frs: year, the land
produced double the former crops, carrots
growing to length of sixteen inches, and
Of proportionate diamater. This amend
,nent could have arisen solely from the
deep plowing, as of manure had scarcely
any. The plow tore up the roots of the
gorse, heather, and fern, SO that the land
lost all the character off the heath land, the
FIRST year after the deep plowing, which it
had before retained, notwithstanding the
blowing in the usual way for 50 years.
Immediately after this sub-,oil plowins,
the crop of wheat was strong, and long in
the straw, aud the berry plump and heavy,
weighing full sixty-four pounds to the
bushel
"The millers were desirous of purchas-
ing it, and could scarcely believe that it
was grown upon the heath-laud, as in for
mer years; my bailiff could with difficulty
get miller to look at his sample. Let it
be borne in mind, that this land had had
no manure for years, was run out, and
could only have been restored by deep
plowing."

Tolls on Manures.

This is the only country in the world
where Turnpike Companies are permitted
to charge tolls on manures, and in Eng.
land wagon carrying bones to or from
the mill pays no toll.
! In all other countries railroads are per-
mitted 70 charge but half of their lowest
price for freight for carrying any article
Of manure. Salt, when intended to be
used as a fertilizer, is free from toll in all
other countries than our own, and now
when dirty salt, which could be purchased
few years ago in New York at six cents
a bushel-from the packing houses where
pork is re-packed, OF from the curriers'
where salted hides are aressed-it now
sells for within three cents Of the price Of
clean salt, so great has been the increase
of its use by those who understand its
value and still at this very time, millions
Of tons of refuse salt lie waste at Syra-
cuse and Salina, for wan. of market, and
simply because the canal toll en- salt in
tended for manure, is just as great as on
the finished article to be used for finer pur-
poses.
Our legislators should grant no railroad,
or turnpike, charters, without a clause IN
favor of manures. Even companies them.
selves would eventually profit by such a
regulation. The Jersey City Ferry Com
panics are the first to show any liberality
in this particular. They now permit the
Ha-simus gardeners, who carry their pro-
ducts across the ferries, to return With a
lead Of manure at the same ferriage as for
the empty wagon and thus, fer every load
brought over from New York to New Jer-
sey, two or more loads Of vegetable pro-
duct are a consequence. Thousands of
acres in the vicinity Of New York and
other large cities, are nearly useless for
want Of full manure, while the refuse mat
ter which could be supplied BY those cities,
would be entirely sufficient to secure
increased crops. On these the farmer
would freely pay toll, but on tho manure,
when the tolls double and treble the cos,
requiring an immediate outlay for their
transportation, he will not venture the 10
vestmeut in many cases, for want OF tie
ability to do so. i
Our ferries and turnpikes would ind
their advantage in Q more liberal policy,
and il they fail to see il, our legislators
should assist them in their observance
