To the American Party in Virginia.

Feeling deep interest in the result of the ap-
preaching election in Virginia, we call upon our
frinds throughout the State to be at work. There
is something for every man to do, and every man
should engage, heart and SOUL to swell the tri-
umph which awaits US, il we only perform our
duty
Meet our opponents at every point--let no
speech pass unanswered. Let all their misrepre-
sensations DO met with fat contradiction, and
the proof Of their falsity. Unfurl the banner to
the breeze, with our BASIS PRINCIPLES in
scribed thereon, to be seen and read by all.
We respectfully and earnestly call upon Mr..
Flonrnoy to commence at Abingdon, and from
thence to Wytheville Christiansburg, Fincasde,
Lexington, Staunton, Harrisonburg, Woodstock,
Winchester, Martinsburg, Leesburg, Wheeling,
Parkersburg, Kenhawa courthouse, Clarksburg,
Fairmount, and Morgantown.
In the meantime, at every muster ground upon
every court day, from now to the election, let the
American cause be presented to the freemen Of
Virginia, in its true light. If this course shall be
pursued, the evening of the Gath of May next will
resound with the shout Of triumph:
americans shall rule america.

CoRREcrIoS.-In an article in Saturdays Organ
on the Removal Of the District Attorney Of Min
nesota," there were two errors. 1t was the House
Of Representatives Of the United States not that
of Minnesota, as stated on Saturday, which repeal
ed the charter Of the Minnesota and Northwestern
Railroad Company. And it was the Territorial
Committee of the Senate not the Judiciary Com
mittee, which unanimously acquitted Mr.. Warren
of his conduct in the case alluded to. Senators
Douglas, Bell, Houston, Cooper, and Jones Of Iowa
were members of that committee.

If tho people Of Virginia desire this govern
ment to be administered at home, and repre-
scented abroad, by nativs-born sons Of America,
they will rally in support Of these principles,
and of the men who win sustain them; but If,
on the contrary, they hail the advent Of for
eignism and Romanism, as the browning glo-
ries Of our destiny, their suffrages should be
cast for the candidates of the anti-Americaa
party, and they should prepare to bow their

testant Bibles, and the torture of heretics upon

GRATING GRAPE FINEs-Grape vines have
often been grated with good success. But the
operation should not be performed until the
season has advanced considerably y-until the
vine to be grated has leaved out-say in
ordinary seasons, about the 10th of June -
Should the attempt be made early in the season,
the excessive flow of sap would be in the way
of success however, after the young shoots
get pretty well started, the sap ceases to flow
from a wound or cut made iu the wood Of the
vine. The mode ordinarily adopted in grating
large spple-tree-cleft graftiug-is good way
to do it. When the body Of the vine is of a
regular shape at the surface of the gound, it
would be we'll to saw it of close to the ground
and, after inserting the scions and applying the
wax to clear the dirt up over the end of the
stock, leaving only about half of the length OF
the scions out Of the ground. Where this
manner of performing the operation, owing to
circumstances. is not practicable, the trunk may
be taken off higher up. Small, short jointed
cuttings. taken from vines at the winter prun
ing should be used for scions-they can easily
be kept till the time arrives for using them
covered with sand in cool cellar.
Vines thus grated have been known to
produce the first season, shoots or canes from
fifteen to twenty feet in legth If the wood
of the vine in question proves to be firm and
healthy, it can, without doubt, be grated with
a satisfactory result.-OntQrio CO. Times
