TIE UNION STATE TICKET.

The most desperate efforts are being made
by the Buchaniers to defeat the Union state
Ticket, or some portion of it. They see the
handwriting on the wall--thcy feel they are
doomed to defeat on Tuesday next, and their
overthrow then extinguishes the last lingering
hope of BUcHANAN's election. To effect a
division of the Fillmore men, they are resort
ing to the most disgraceful expedients. The
Pennsylvania is charging that oil the Union
State Ticket is in favor of Fremont, and ap-
pealing to the FILLMORE men not to support it,.
The FIRE is particularly directed at LAPoRTE.
Nominated as Republican, his position upon
the Presidency is supposed to be more assaila-
bic than either of the others
1t is but few days since, that one of the
Buchanier leaders in this place was at Athens
endeavoring to procure statement or affda-
Wit from FILLMORE men there, to the effect that
LAPoRrE was making speeches for FREMONT,
and denouncing FILLMORE. In this, he failed,
as the FILLMoRE men declined certifying to
fslsehood. Not succeeding in this, the follow
ing statement has been signed by few Of the
faithful and forwarded to Philadelphia, where

RALLY TO THE POLLS!

DO you believe that capital should hire its
labor, not own it-that Free Society is not
failure-nor made up of greasy mechanics,
filthy operatives, and small listed farmers, y
do you believe that labor is honorable, not de-
grading-do you love Freedom not Slavery,
and desire for your children an opportunity to
emgrate to the West without encountering
the degrading presence of negro bondage
RALLY TO THE POLLSl
An attempt is now making by means of the
name of Democracy TO subvert our free insti-
tutions-to deride the teachings of our fore
fathers-to put new and dangerous construc-
tions upon the Constitution-by means of
which Slavery may be introduced upon every
foot Of the soil of this Republic. The slave
power usurps and controls every branch of the
government, and pervades and domineers over
every department, prescribing and outlawing
those who hold to the opinions of Jefferson
and the fathers of the Republic. Mob law
and violence prevent the free expression Of
sentiments in one portion Of the country, with
the appreciation of the slave-driving sdjuncts
north. Would you mark with your disappro-
bation this state Of things
RALLY TO THE POLLS!
Rally all those who would bring back the
government to the designs and purposes of it's
founders-all who would carefully comply with
every requirement and compromise of the Con-
stitution-all who desire to see the government
administered upon liberal and national princi-
pies, and in such manner as to
PRESERVE BOTH LIBERTY AND THE
UNION !
Rally, on Tuesday next, to-aid in swelling the
glorious victory which awaits us. Every vote
added to the majority on that day makes our
victory more easy and certain in November
Rally, for the glorious cause of Freedom, Free
Speech, Free Men,

falter or stay at home because you may think

PLANT FRUIT TREES.

Nurseries of fruit trees are needed
all over the United States, and no
where more than in Iowa. Old or
chards in the Eastern States are de-
caying, while the demand for good
fruit is greatly on the increase, All
kinds of dried fruit command high
price the country over. Fruits are
among the most wholesome as well as
cheapest food for man. Therefore, in
view of these facts, every one should
interest himself in the cultivation of
fruit. Here in the West the fall is
thought to be the best season for trans
planting fruit trees. That being the
case, our citizens should soon give
their attention to the subject. Mill
ions of trees are needed to be set out
here in Northern Iowa. Let every
man who owns piece of land (and
who in this country does not y see to
it that he does his full share towards
effecting this necessitous and praise
worthy object. We understand that
Mr.. George Dunbar, who has estab-
lished himself in the nursery business
in this place, is prepared to receive
orders and will furnish fruit trees to
all who may favor him with their pat
ronage.

The editor of the American Maga-
zine, in speaking of vocal music,
says:
"All children can learn to sing if
they commence in season. In Germa-
ny every child is taught to use it's
voice while young. In the schools all
join in singing, as regular exercise,
as much as they attend to the study of
geography !; and in ther church, sing
ing is not confined to the choir that
sits apart from the others, but there is
a vast tide of incense going forth to
God from every heart that can give
utterance to this language from the
soul. In addition to the delightful in
fluence music has upon the character,
it has also marked influence in sup
pressing pulmonary complaints. DR..
Rush used to say that the reason why
the Germans seldom die of consump-
ton was, that they were always sing
ing"

A child, when asked why certain
tree grew crooked, replied: "Some-
body trod upon it, l suppose, when it
was small"
How painfully suggestive is that
answer! How many, with aching
hearts, can remember the days of their
childhood, when they were the vic
tins of indiscreet repression, rather
than the happy subjects of some kind
direction and culture. The effects Of
such misguided discipline have been
apparent in their history and charac-
ter, and by no process of human devi-
sing can the wrong now be rectified.
The grand error in their education con-
sisted in a system of rigid restraints,
without corresponding efforts to devel-
ope and cultivate, and train in right
direction.

vest than the farmer. The consequence
is that the farmer and all the millions
of consumers otherwise employed,
must be taxed with an artificial ad-
vance, not only upou breadstuffs, but
almost every thing else. Whatever
may be the fluctuations in other things,
and ingeniusly as man may regulate
the condition Of supply and demand,
an abundant harvest is that invalua-
BILE blessing which battles the ingenu-
ity of man to tamper with it, and diff
fuses happiness all over the land.

THE CROPS.

AS the ingathering of the harvest
progresses, the bountiful produce of
the earth disproves the unfavorable
predictions which have preceded the
time. We have met with quite a
number of very discouraging para
graphs from various sections of the
country /; and if we had credited and
published them it would scarcely be
possible now to remove the impress
sion that the fly, the rust and the
drouth had destroyed from half to two
thirds of the crops. How, where and
why such statements originate it is
hardly worth while to inquire, some
times, probably, they are the honest
conviction of the farmer, but arise
from partial observation and his rea-
dy apprehension of a failure in his
crop. But too often, we presume, they
come from spectators and interested
parties, and if not sheer inventions,
are willful exaggerations Of tempo
rary and partial event.
At this time it is extremely crafty
ing to find that the experience which
only the actual harvest can furnish, is
very favorable. Although we may
not look for a duplicate Of last years
abundance, yet there is ample reason
to believe that the crop will be at
least an average one. We think it
may be fairly conceded that the pro-
duce Of cereal grains will be sufficient
to keep the prices of the necessaries
of life at such reasonable figure
that the consumer will not be oppres.
sed, while the agriculturist will be
equitably compensated.
European intelligence respecting
the harvest is looked for with some
anxiety. Thus far every thing has
been encouraging. There are inter.
ests which anticipate benefits from the
failure of the crop in Europe. We dc
not believe in any such theory. If the
American farmer realises something
more for his labor, tho speculator il

A FARMERS LIFE.

The editor of the New England Far
mer, in noticing an agricultural exhi-
bition, wakes eloquent in speaking of
the farmer, and the ennobling inauen-
ces which surround him:
"The highest qualification which we
found was not in the noble horses, fat
beevcs, mich kline, pigs, poultry or
vegetables, but in the expression of a
sentiment fast increasing in the rural
population. A great many people
have discarded the belief that labor is
an evil, and that there is no enjoyment
in the occupation that earns the bread
we eat and the delightful home we oc-
cupy.
After looking at all the departments
of the exhibition, we were so fortu-
nate as to be introduced to several of
the women of Hampshire county; and
in their expressions of attachment to
rural life, and of the happy influences
of rural occupations upon themselves
and their children, we found source
of qualification far exceeding that
which any other matter afforded.
They feel that in the calm and rational
pursuits of agriculture and it's kindred
branches, horticulture and arboricul-
ture, there is less excitement of the
passions, less temptation to lure from
the paths of virtue, and constantly
ennobling influence that lift the soul
through nature to natures God.
That God is dagucrreotyped, as it
were, before us all and we see his
wisdom and love, in the bending grass,
the trembling leaf, the sparkling dew
and in thousand wonderful operations
constantly carried on by his superin
tending care, and which are ever pres
ent to him who cultivates the soil

fidence, of submission, to be found IL
