ROCKWELL LBADs.-The intelligence which
reaches us from every section of the state con-
firms the opinion of which, from the first, we
have been sanguine, that Mr.. Rockwell will
handsomely lead the poll on election day. :
This intelligence, from the most reliable and
authentic sources, foreshadows plurality of
thousands-not less than ten. to place it at the
lowest figures. The defiant yet audacious
and reckless manner with which Gov. Gard.
ner threw himself into the native convention
four weeks since. for day or two, seemed to
paralyze some of our friends. But the terri
bic reaction which always follows such tergiv.
ersation, and especially when exhibited by
person high-in official station, is now seriously
felt Beginning in this section, the revulsion
of feeling has spread throughout the state to
the EXTREMIST limits, and wlll rot cease till it
loses the author of that speech thousands of
votes. In our judgement, the speech of Gov.
Gardner in fremont Temple, will make him
the third candidate before the people. The
sober. thinking people of this state, when they
remember the governors course, through his
friends, in the republican convention, never
will endorse his conduct by their votes. OF
this, even his once warmest partizan now con-
TESS their fears
The intelligence relative to Mr.. Rockwell's
prospects, to which we allude. confirms our
impression that he will have large pluralities
in Berkshire, Franklin, Hampshire, Worcester
and Plymouth counties, while he has more
than an eUen chance in Middlesex, Barnstable,
Dukes, and Nantucket. In Esuex, Bristol, and
Norfolk, he will receive handsome support,
following close upon if not fully equal On the
aggregated to, the vote Of the leading candi.
date, whoever he may be. Suffolk ana Hamp-
den, as things now look, will be likely 10 go
for Beach. The only three, counties in which
Gardner can have plurality, are Bristol,
Norfolk and Essex; and we do not give up
all of these. Our sincere conviction therefore
Is, that Mr.. Rockwell will lead with from So =
600 TO 10000 votes; Mr.. Beach follow, with
from 5000 to 10000; Mr.. Gardner come
next, with from $4,000 to 80 900; and MIR.
VALLEY close up, with from 10, 900 to Is 900
there will be very large vote poled, and Mr.

How TO Grow Coon FRUIT.-We printed
an item the other day., showing how grapes
were spoiled by greediness to grow great crops
That is not the only kind of fruit grown in
the same state of imperfecton Our CITY was
full of things called peaches, selling at one
cent quart, and containing about half as
many in number as the same measure of halle
nuts. Growing such fruit is an excess Of folly
and ignorance. 1t is pity that the growers
could not be condemned to eat their own
fruit.
Just see how easy it is to grow better fruit.
In Adams County, Ohio, John Longley has
peach orchard of eleven acres that has yielded
him, this year, Ave thousand dollars, while
peaches have been selling in Cincinnati at %
cents bushel. 1t is easy to see that the orch
ard would not have produced that sum at that
price. No, it did not. He got two dollars
bushel more readily than his neighbor got 25
cents for the same variety of peaches. And
this is how he did it =
When the peaches had arrived at the size
Of hickory nut, he employed large force,
and put on one hundred and eighty five days
work in picking off the excess of fruit. Prob
ably more than three -fourths of the fruit then
on the trees was carefully removed. Each
limb was taken by hand, and where, within
the space Of eighteen inches, there would be
perhaps twenty-five peaches, hut five of the
fairest ones would be left to ripen. BY care.
fully removing all but the strongest specimens
and throwing all the yigor of the tree into
them, the peaches have ripened early, and are
remarkable for size aud excellence Of quality
There, this was labor-seven months labor
of one man IN small peach orchard. What
of it His net profits We're between three and
four thousand dollars. If he had neglected
| his trees, his profits would have been crop of
| peaches hardly fit to feed the pigs
In the management of his trees Mr.. L.
keeps them trimmed in and annually removes
| about one. half the wood thai is formed. He
uses compost, and omits nothing to bring
| them to perfection, and thus keeps the trees in
full ylgor. Will other farmers take hint and
follow SO good an example?

The National, American PARTY

Moses Tenney, Jr., of Georgetown, who
accepts one of the vacant places on the Gard
ner State ticket, has promulgated in his letter
of acceptance the latest edition Of the Spring
field platform Just take look at it and see
how it squints. We give all but the address,
formalities, and signature =

true American citizen can look upon the tide
of foreign emigration continually pouring in

all anti-Nebraska and all anti slavery refer
ences, and the presence of swelling sentences

REMARKABLE EXPERIMENT. "A recent work
of science gives the following novel expert
ment which settles question of some i'm
portance in philosophy.
Two hundred pounds weight of earth was
dried in an oven, and afterwards put into an
earthen vessel. The earth was then moisten.
ed with rain water, and a willow tree, weigh
ing FIVE poueds, was placed therein. During
the space of five years the earth was carefully
watered with rain wasr, or pure water the
willow grew and hourished and to prevent
the earth from being mixed with fresh earth
or dust blown to it by the winds, it was COW
bred with a metal plate perforated with
great number of small holes suitable for the
free admission of air only.
After growing in the air for five years, the
tree was removed and found to weigh l69
pounds and about three ounces; the leaves
which fell from the tree every autumn were
not included i'll this weight. The earth was
then removed from the vessel, again dried in
the oven, and afterwards weighed; it was af.
forwards discovered to have lost only about
two ounces Of its original weight thus 1874
pounds Of woody fibre, bark and roots, were

The air has been discovered to be the source
of solid element at least. This statement may
at first appear incredible, but on slight rehec-
ton its truth is proved; because the atinos-
phere contains carbonic acid, which is the
compound Of ia parts. by weight. of oxygen,
and 1888 parts, by weight, of carbon.

WING view OF Mr.. CHoATE's SPEECH
The Providence Journal of this morning
copies about two columns of Mr.. Choate' S
speech in Faneuil Hall, and prefaces the same
with these comments =
"Lost in the maze of metaphorical' confu-
sion, and dazzled by the splendor of his gor-
geous rhetoric, we may misunderstood Mr..
Cboate but it seems to US that the 'self-sae
rilice, of which he so eloquently speaks, and
his honeyed words about the foresight of the
great Jefferson, mean nothing less than a
union with the Pierce, Atchison, and String
fellow Democracy. If this be his meaning,
we fancy that there are gIeet many Wings,
whose sentiments of nationality are not less
intense than his own, who will pause long
before they will turn their backs upon the
whole of their past history, and voluntarily
plunge into such profound abyss of political
shame, humiliation, and infamy."

Fowler and Preterre, for artificial teeth,
Richmond's machine for cutting iron for steam

among the articles which took the medals
Colts guns and pistols met with great oppo-
sition, and many competitors from France and
Belgium, and he, in consequence, gets but a

marked compliment to the MANI new and
useful inventions which he found at the Paris
exhibition by American contributors.

New YoRK.-The Times says $50 far as
we can judge, the Republican ticket is likely
to be elected by very decided majority. Last
year the whole number of votes cast, was un.
der 470, 000-it can be much greater thisSyear.
We do not see how the Republican ticket can
lose 10000 out of the l56, which were
given for Clark last iall-while we think it
will add 10000 from the Softs, and at least
10000 from the Know Nothing vote This
will give it, at least, 40 900 more votes than
any other party can command. Unless we
are greatly mistaken, its plurality is more
likely to be over, than under, this mark"

For the Spy.
Snm.

The following passage is taken from a transla-
ton Of the French Of Madame de Lamartine the
accomplished oriental scholar, and wife of the
French orator -
81 The most powerful Of the Princes, or tribu-
tary Princes. Of the great Kingdom of Persia was
Sam, Prince of Zaboulistan, a hero, renowned for
his bravery, justice, and virtue. He was surnam-
ed the Champion Of the People"
Does the mysterious driver Of the American
team acknowledge any relationship to the Primes
of Zaboulstan
There IS a bit of history concerning this Per
sian hero, which is significant. Sam had a son,
Zalzer by name, who had the misfortune to be
born with white hair on his head The astrolo
gers pronounced this extraordinary circumstance
an evil aagury, and advised to put the child to
death accordingly.
Sam carried him to desolate mountain and
abandoned him. But he did not die. An eagle
took him into its nest, the story reads, and fed
him, and he grew to be a mighty man. In course
of time Zalzor married Rondabie, the daughter
of King MihIab, and by her he had son, whom
he named. on account of the peculiar circumstan-
ces attending his birth, Roostan, which signifies
Deliryanee Roostam is the Hercules Of Orien-
tai literature.
Moral The Massachusetts, Sam is striving
TO destroy his otfSprng--the Republican party
But as sure as the history of Zalzer is tfue. he
will fail. The noble child will live. tar-eved
eagle whose wings dip on the spray of two oceans,
watches over him. And Roostan will be born

come. MELMoTH.

Another RepubIIca n r ally /!

The Republicans Of Worcester had another
splendid demonstration, at the City Hall, last
| evening. to listen to q speech from Hon. Thomas
D. Elliott of New Bedford. Francis Wayland,
Jr., Esq, was chosen to preside, and Oliver K,
| Earle, Secretary.
! After few eloquent and appropriate remarks,
reviewing the question at issue, the Chairman in
| troduced to the audience, the Hon. Thomas D.
Elliott, who was received with enthusiastic ap-
plause.
Mr.. Elliott commenced by stating that the
present crisis of affairs in the country was brought
about, not by any mssterly inactivity on the part
of Calhoun, but BY the cowardly inactivity of
Narthern men The question was, whether We
shall have party, at the same time national, and
in favor Of protecting the rights Of the people Of
the Free States: whather 100000 slave owners
in the South shall control absolutely
whole nation Of twenty five millions of men.
Unless we we've prepared 10 unite at the North,
they would continue to ride over and control US.
He read an extract from letter he had received
from Senator Chase, (now Governor elect Of
Ohio, concluding with the expression, that "if
the prayers of the people of Ohio could effect it,

which was received with the most vociferOus ap-
plause.
Mr.. Elliott also read from letter, couchea in
the same spirit which he had received from Hon.
Lewis D. Campbell, concluding with the words,
''Msy God give you stiff backs and elOquen;
tongues"
Mr.. Elliot proceeded to speak of the repeated
Aggressions of the slave power, from the earliest
period down to the infamous Nebraska bill and
Kanzas outrages of the present time, and his stir
ring appeals to the friends of Freedom in the
North to stand united and firm in favor of their
rights, as did the oligarchy of the South in favor
of Slavery, could not but evidently produce last
ing impression upon his hearers who NANTES ted
their approval by oft-repeated demonstrations of
applause.
Mr. Elliotts speech was most eloquent and
able one, occupying about an hour and half in
delivery, and when he concluded the meeting
broke up. amid cheers for the speaker and for the
Republican nominees

Eight hundred deaths had already occurred.
The people from the interior would not come
