Tree PedEars.

The operations Of this class of swindlers
ARE more extensive than mostpeope mag
Il me. There is no business,uo even. that of
Patent Medicines, where the victims ire IS
outrageously swindled
One of them sold trees in this neighbor-
hood, and when distributing them, did not
knos a Pear from an Apple or a Plum, DC,
| or that & Seeding Apple had tap root.
| Phe Northwestern Fruit Growers Con-
yention, in exposing tiiair Practices; s&y;
'sThey sell Seedlings FOE Crafts, falsely
themselves as Agents Of Eastoru
Nurseries which sometimes have no exis.
Itence." "Theseimpostorssay that the Stock
procured fiom Eastern Nurseries, is betterse-
ected and of better varieties than that
which is for sale in the West. The high
minded and honorable both in the East
and West, view this operation with The con
tempt it deserves. The only way for pur-
Ichasers to obtain reliable selections, is to
deal directly with men whom they know,
or send their orders by mail to establish
Iments which are known to the public and
where the varieties they may want have
been advertised aud are known to exist"
MANY Of the most popular Apples East,
prove tender, and die out when placed in
the North West.
"Those who get Eastern Apple Trees,
not only get tender trees and too many Of
these eastern varieties, but they utterly
fail to get many of our best Western sorts,
as for instance, the Carolina, June, Janet;
and White Winter Pearmain, which are
unknown in Eastern Nurseri 8. More
careless in buying Fruit Trees than any
ard every thing else, without an effort to
do better, they "go it blind" and "sign,
seal an deliver" themselves and their flu
ture Fruit prospects over to the mercies Of
perfect strangers, often not only ignorant
OF The business, but the most INSCRIPTIONS
impostors, while their neighbor Nursery-
men, honest and reliable it may be, are
utterly neglected"
'iu almost no other business is he buy
ar SO wholly at the mercy of the scller."----
The sole guaranty the buyer of Fruit
Trees has is the character aud responsible
ty of the seller" And what is the char
acter and responsibility of these Inherent
Tree Pedlars, here one year and some
where else the next. AS Mr.. Barry says,
"Pelding gravestones to-day, lightning
rods to morrow, and patent medicines the

Gen. jackson on Cesored Citizen
ship.

Yesterday we published Chancellor
Kent's opinion on this subject. To-day
we have Gen. Jackson's. The soldier a
grees with the Jurist in declaring colored
men Citizens, and that not only of North
ern States. but Of louisiana, and the Tn
| ion. It may not be amiss to state that
fancy owes the place he how holds TO the
President whose opinions he scouts and
Econtemns.
While the immense British force was
approaching louisiana, Gen. Jackson learn
ed that among its ranks were a regiment Of
Icolored men, and he wished to excite the
sentiment Of loyalty in the bosoms of the
colored people of that State, The condi-
ton of affairs was such that not a man
could be spared from the American side.
The government at Washington had
left New Orleans utterly without defence,
and the General had 10 avail himself OF all
the means within bis reach to get-together
a force strong enough to make resistace
with something like a chance in favor Of
success.
On the 2lst of September, 1914, he is
sued from his Headquarters at Mobile, an
address 'To the Free Colored Inhabitants
of louisiana" in which he said:
Through a mistaken policy you have
heretofore been deprived of a participation
in the glorious struggle for national rights
in Which OUR country is engaged. This
shall no longer exist"
GAS sons Of freedom, you are called up
on to defend this most inestimabe blessing.
As AMERICANS, YOUR COUNTRY looks with
confidence for a valorous support" &c.
"Your COUNTRY, although calling for
your exertions, does not wish you to en-
gage in her cause without remunerating
you for the services rendered." &c.
In another part Of his address, he says to
them: "You will, undivided, receive the
applause and gratitude of YOUR COUNTRY"
Again, he said: ''To assure you Of the
sincerity of my intentions, and anxiety to
engage your invaluable services to my
country, have communicated my wishes
to the Governor of louisiana" &c.
In an address which he issued to his color
ed soldiers On the 18th Of December, Gener-
al Jackson said =
"When on the banks of the Mobile, 7
called you to take up arms, inviting you to
partake the peris and glory of your
WHITE FELLCW-CIrIZENS, [ expect
mateb from you' for was not ignorant that
you possessed qualities most formidable to
an invading enemy. I knew with what
forttude you could hunger and thirst and
all the fatignes of the campaign. k'oep
30eN hoaO yom loved YOUR NATIVE COUNTRY,
and that you, as well as ourselves, had to
defend what man holds most dear-his pa
rents, wife, children, and property
You have done more than [ expected
In addition to the previous qualities be-
fore knew you to possess, | found among
you noble enthusiasm, which leads to the
performa nee of great things,

How PARTIES cHANaE.-The writer
entered political life when the con
troversy between the Democrats and
Wings in relation to q. S. bank was at
its height. The Supreme Court had de
cided the bank constitutional; the entire
democratic party swore that it was uncon-
stitutional, and all the young Democrats
grew up in the belief Of the unconstitntlon-
atty of the bank, and to treat the decision
of the Supreme Court with contempt
The most Of these young Democrats are
now Republicans, and retain the early be-
lief in regard to the Bank, and constitu-
tionality of the Missouri Compromise.
For more than thirty years the polite
ians of all parties swore by the Missouri
