CENTRAL AMERICAN QUESTION.

The statement Of Lord Clarendon that
the proposal from Great Britain TO leave the
settlement of the construction to be put up
on the Clayton Buiger treaty to arbitration,
has been twice refused by our government
is emphaticaiy declared to be untrue.
No proposition of that character has yet
been formally made to our Government.

ed the prisoner at once. Several of the

Rusa Baga or Swedish Turnip.


TIE high qualities Of this fine variety OF
turuip are now becoming pretty well known,
, and it forms an important part in supply
q ing the table during the winter, with pal
atable and nutritious vegetable. 'sI,
The soil suited for this crop should be
rich, and dccply titled, and they must be
thinned 50 as to leave ample space for the
plants to develop their foliage Frequent
hoeings are also needed. From the middle
to the end of July should be selected for
sowing the seed, better il rainy. at the dTst
period, as should tho crop be taken by the
fy. there is ample time to sow again. There
is n simple machine used by farmers in Eng.
land for trapping this pest which it may not
be amiss to mention. Ii consists ofpieces OF
sail, or sack cloth nailed on to pieces Of
wood, formed into circular frame, some
thing similar to the old kind Of winnowing
machines. These cloths are besmearod with
tar, and revolvc on an axis, being fxcd on
wheels, and rs the flies jump up, on the ma
chine passing over. they are stuck fast by
the tar on the cloth.
The soil should invariably be fresh dug or
plowed, before sowing the seed. Rake or
harrow fine, and SOW in drills fifteen inches
apart, filling in the drills and treading or
rolling firmly after. II Is matter Of some
surprise that light roller is not more COM
monty in use for this purpOse. The con-
struction Is SIMPLE. Take the boil ofa tree
and make IL of "a uniform diameter by shay
ing; have rim Of stout iron on at each
end. into which drive gudgcons for fixing
the handles to draw by. For garden pur-
poses. one about six feet long, and nine
inches diameter, would be plenty heavy
enough for the purpose, and easily drawn
by one man. r-..
As soon as the plants can be seen. the hoe
should be passed between the rows to kill
the weeds and encourage quick growth.
When the rough leaf appears, commence
tniuniiiy lcaNc turni aOout iOuN VI "a
inches apart; and when well up, out of the
way OF the ay, cut out every other one with
the hoe. which viii leave them from nine
inches toa foot apart. Frequent hocings
should be given till the foliage beSius to COW
er the ground, after which they will require
no more labor till storing time.
Early in November. they must be taken
up, the tops cut or nearly close to the
crown. an those intended for early use put
into the cellar. AID covered with sand, or
earth nearly dry. The remainder can be
po,tcd out of doors for spring use. Pill
them up into conical heaps, place thick
layer OF straw over them, and then foot or
two ol soil on that. This should be beaten
frm. and smcarcd over with the back Of a
spade, after being gently watered. There
is an inprorcd kind Of Swcde which Is bet
ter than the old variety, having the leaves
growing directly out Of the bulb, instead OF
having neck between itand the leaves, and
ia otherwise preferable.
Bone dust, supcrphosphate Of lime, gyp-
sum. ashes, and guano are frequently used
rs manure for this crop.-Coniiry Gentle

y The Republican party contains many
mcn who would make excellent Presidents ;
and as each of these have personal friends
and supporters, it is the most natural thing
in the word that there should be some did
erence of opinion about the nomination.
Bat it our antagonists imagine these par
tlalities will be persisted in to the benefit ol
the Democratic and the detriment of the
Republican party, they are the victims of
great delusion. In all our political expert
ence, we have never known a party in which
good feeling was more predominant than II
now is in the Republican ranks; and our
opponents may rest assured that when, after
due conference and consideration, leader
has been selected, he will receive hearty
and unanimous support. The Republican
party owes its existence to q willingness ON
the part of its members to foego mere per-
sonal considerations for the sake Of u good
cause and that feeling will not be ahan-
doucd in contest the most important in
the history Of the country.-BOston Atlas.

among you without your own concurrence
shall become the controlling elements In the
Republic, He who, found river in his
path, and sat down to wait for the food to
pass away, was not more unwise than he
who expects the agitation of slavery to cease
while the love of freedom animates the
bosoms Of mankind. The solemjty Of the
occasion draws over our heads that cloud OF
disunion which always arises whenever the
subject of slavery is agitatcd. Still the de-
bate goes on, more ardently, earnestly and
angrily than ey,r before. 1t employs now
not merely logic. reprOach. menace, rctort
and defiance, but sabrcs, rides, cannon. DO
you look through this incipicnt war quite
to the end, and see there peace, quiet and
harmony on the subject of slavcryf ifso,
pray cnlightcn me, and show me how long
the way Is that leads to that reposc.
The free States are loyal, and they will
always remain so. Their foothold on this
Continent is firm and sure. Their ability
t. maintain themselves, unaided, under the
present Constitution, is established. The
Slave States, also, have been loyal hitherto,
and | hope and trust they may ever remain
10. But If disunion conld ever come. II
would come In the form of secession ol
the Slaveholding States and IL would come,
then. when the Slaveholding power, which
. is already firmly established on the Gulf o1
Mexico, and extends thousand miles north
warl along both banks Of the Mississippi
should have fixed its graphing irons upon
the fountains Of the Missouri and the slopes
Of the Rocky Mountains. Then that power
would be intolerably supreme in this Repub.
lie, or it would strike for independence, oI
for exclusive dominion. Then the free States
and slave States of the Atlantic, divided and
warning with each other, would disgust the
Free States Of the Pacific, and they would
have abundant cause for withdrawing from
Union productive no longer of peace, safe
ty, and liberty to themselves. and no longer
holding up the cherished hopes of mankind.
Mr.. Presiden, the Continental Congress
Of 1857, on resigning the trust which it had
discharged with signal fidelity into the hands
of the authorities elected under the new
Constitution, and in taking leave Of their
constituents, addressed to the people of the
United States this memorable injunction
Z" Let it never be forgotten, that the cause
of the United States has always been the
cause Of human nature" Let us recall that
precious monition let us examine the ways
which we have pursued hitherto, nnder the
light thrown upon them by that instruction.
We shall find, IN dong so, that we have
forgotten moral right in the pursuit of ma
terial greatness, and we shall cease hence
forth from practising upon ourselves the
miserable delusion, that we can safely ex-
tend Empire, when we shall have become
reckless of the obligations Of eternal justice,
and faithless to the interests Of Universal
Freedom.
