Buchanan adopts the Nebraska inquity
as his platform, and outdoes Pierce in savish
submission to the south. We hoped for bet.
ter things of him, but whoever receives the
locoloco nomination must do the same No
man can hope for it, who does not sell him
self soul and body TO the south. And yet
our locofoco opponents accuse us Of section
alism Can there be worse sectonalsm
than that which they exhibit OF what val
lie in their eyes is the Unon, or any of :he
blessings flowing from the Union, so long as
they make submission to the south, the quail
ification for the presidency? Who wonders
that Old Tom Benton should be disgusted,
and refuse to be considered candidate for
an office that must be purchased at such a
sacrifice ?-l Blade.

GD~Quite an interesting trial took place
before the probate court of Wood coun ty
this week. A fighting covey" named Tod,
of Montgomery tp., prosecuted old man Har-
mon Of Freeport for assault and battery.
Tod went to Harmon's tavern for drink and
was refused, became abusive, was knocked
down in the bar room by the old man, and
found himself stabbed in the back, but was
too far in the lurch to testify pointedly to
the stabbing. A jury cleared Harmon, and
the state pays the expenses Of the prosecu-
tion. This last is not so pleasant part Of
the performance.

Extensive Preparations are going toward
in the northern provinces of Ireland for the
cultivation of potatoes. The last years crop
was full and good, superior to any raised
since the year of famine. We understand
there is voluntary interdict among the Irish,
to any further emigration to this country for
the next ten years. If so, this cultivation of
the potatoe among them is dictated by good
sense. All that can be raised will be needed.
