COLUMBUS, OHIO, April II, 1856.
have just had the pleasure
Of reading an article in the Examiner of March
9Th on the Presidency, in which you express
your preference for Mr. Buchanan, for reasons
therein given. | agree with you that he is the
man for the times and for this particular occa-
sion; and in saying this for myself / but ex-
press the sentiment of four-ffths of the Demo.
cracy of Ohio, and large number Of the
people Of other parties who will vote with the
Democracy against Black Republican candi-
date; and / assure you that he will carry the
electoral vote of Ohio by decided majority,
The signs are unmistakable. To Mr..
or Mr.. -, we have no objection, and
should either of them be nominated we will do
our best to give them the % votes of our State;
but must say our chance is hopeless unless
we have triangular fight; in that case we
might give them plurality; but even then it
would be doubtful. But with sold Buck" it
matters not to us whether they have one can
didate or two, or more, we shall beat them.
~ deem this too important an election to run
any chances of defeat. If we beat them the
factions are blown to a thousand pieces, and
fanaticism is destroyed. If they beat us it will
enable them to establish strong sectional
party which will give US much trouble in the
North and West and you in the South.
i hope our Southern friends will consider
our position, struggling against spirit of blind
fanaticism, which you Of the South cannot ap-
preciate; and not drive US into the fight with
an almost certainty of defeat. If we desired
an unsound man, you would have right to
complain. But no one pretends that "Old
Buck is not sound Democrat. Virginia,
Alabama, and other Southern States voted for
for him in the Convention of 1852, and know
of nothing he has done that has rendered him
obnoxious since then.
Apropos of the Democracy Of Ohio, we ask
the readers attention to the following compari-
son of the platforms adopted by the Ohio
Democracy and by the Know.nothings of that
State, in their respective State Conventions:

We publish, in another column, a com
munication which originally appeared in the
Richmond Enquirer, in relation to Strains Da-
rien Expedition, and the propriety Of some
mark of honor or reward to the survivors Of
that expedition, on the part of the government.
The account of this expedition in Harper's
Magazine has made the public familiar with
the details Of the intense suferings Of those
who composed it, and Of the prvations and
hardships they endured. We happen to know
in some instances the consequences that have
ensued to those who escaped with their lives
and which will accompany them to their
graves-erysipilas, sore limbs, the effects of the
"worm Of the woods" chronic dysentary-
leaving them almost totally unable to pursue
any active employment, and compelling them
to relinquish their professional engagements.
IL is, indeed, case we'll calculated to excite
the sympathies Of the members Of the National
Legislature. To their wisdom and justice il is
submitted-and if anything can be done in be
half of the survivors, we hope il may be done
speedily.-1Lerdudria Gazette

CANDLES PoPULARITY.-The City Hen the
alrcal paper, OF Philadelphia, abiding to St.
Louis theatrcals, records that Miss Heron's per-
formance of Camille there created an immense
sensation, the establishment in which it was played
having been filed TO repetion every night of its
performance. The writer adds Camille hats,
Camille bonnets Camille dresses, were oil the
vogue. Every military company marched to the
Camille polka; every fiddler fdaled il; every
whistler whislled il il was Camille here, Camille
pere Camille everywhere; Camille platform
Ecalcs and Camille peanuts were the last IDEAS
il was matter of surprise that the very church
bells did not ding dong Camille"
sas~ The Indian title to the land on which
New York city is built was bought Of the In
dians in 1926, for $24. Had that money been
put at compound interest, allowing per cent,
the legal rate there, it would have now amount
cd to n sum that would purchase all the land
in that city surprising as has been its increase
in value

HINTS on PRUNiNG FOR THE SEAsoN.-Wc
have often given our ideas of pruning, and
cannot do more than to give merely an outline
now. Never cut limb of more than half an
inch in diameter in the months Of March, April
or May but cut in June, October or Novem-
Der, and always cover the wound, even of
small iimbs with gum shellac dissolved in al
eohol. Cut out where limbs cross, or where
they incline TOO many Of them to the inside of
the tree. DO not cut off the yOnng side shoots
and leaves i'll the growing season, as they are
placed there to elaborate sap, and will increase
the growth of the tree.
AS general thing, ioo muci pruning is done
to young trees, If started judi iouSly, they
need but little very little trimming, annually,
so that If the owner of young orchard has
an uncomfortable desire to use his knife, he
had better supply his pockets with several pie
ccs of soft pine wood, before he takes a stroll
through his orchard. Prevention is better
than cure.-Nem England Farmer.

TEUE FMUE OF \ FAIM.-ThcTc is some.
thing in the owning a piece Of ground which
effects me as do the Old ruins of England. !
am free to confess that the value of farm i,
not chiefly in its crops of cereal grain, its or
chards of fruit, and its herds, but in those lar
ger and more easily reaped harvest of associa-
tionS fancies, and dreamy broodings which it
hcgets. From boyhood have associated clas,
steal civic virtues and old heroic integrity with
the soil. No one who has peopcd his Young
brain with the fancieS Of Grccian mythology
but comes to feel certain magical fancy for
the earth. The very smell of fresh turned
earth brings up as many dreams and visions of
the country as sandal wood does of oriental
senses. At any rate, feel in walking under
these trees and about their slopes, something
of that enchantment of vague and mysterious
glimpse of the past which one felt about the
ruins Of Kenilworth Castle For thousands of
years this piece Of ground had wrought its
tasks. Old slumberous forests used to darken
it 4; innumerable deer have tramped across it ::
foxes have binked through its bushes, and
wolves howled and growled as they battered
along its ruStling leaves to empty with maws
How many birds ; how many focks ofpigeonS,
thousands of years ago how many hawks
dashed wildly among them how many insects,
nocturnal and diurnal how many mailed bugs
and Timber scrpents, gliding among mOSsy
stones have had possession here before my day !.

HEADING CABEAGEs-I have been troubled
much at times with the untowardncss on the
part of my cabbageS, and caulilowers as we'll
as broccoli, to form their appropriate heads
Conversing on the subject some two or three
years ago with friend fond of Horticulture
he informed me that some one Of much pract-
cal experience in the raising of such vcgcta-
bles, told him, that the way to insure their
heading was to transplant them twice, the sec
ond tranSplanting to take place at moderate
interval after the first. The very next year
another FREUD, who had been bringing for
ward many ordinary garden vegetables in a
hot bed, sent me a number of well-grown plants
both of caulllowers and cabbagcs when those
l had planted were scarcely above ground
At the time | received them, had not pre-
pared the ground destined for the reception
of such vegetables, and was too busy with 9th
or things to do so forthwith | accordingly
struck the end of hoe-blade into soft well
prepared border, and turning the handle down
so as to leave sufficient cavity to set out the
plants.
y friend in town has tried the plan above
recommended, of twice planting the same plants
with UNMARRIED succesS.-Ed.

SALT TO DESTROY WoRMs, &c-1n that ex-

There is another enemy, also, by which they
are frequently infestcd-a small grub, similar,
i'll many respects, to those found in corn and
potato hills, and which not unfrequently prove
very destructive. Salt water applied to the
hills will have a tendency to arrest their dep
relations, and if the application be repeated
frequently, say once in two or three days, it
will effcctually destroy or drive them off.
The water, however, should not be allowed
to come in contact with the foliage, in this in
stance, but should be applied to the soil imme-
diately around the stalks, but without coming
in actual contact with them To destroy the
first named insects, it may be applied in a state
