seven democratic principles described by John
Randolph as the five loavee and the two fishes,
and for no other principles whatsoever.
The moral Influences of this late State cleo
ton will most probably give to the democracy
the substantial control Of our new Legislature.
Let them, therefore, beware of those lobby cor
ruptions and affiliations which have broken
down the Know Nothings and the black republic
cans. and let them especially beware Of the
the Aryus -AtlGs. The Argus has hundred eyes

Gratis of the Canal Board and Of both houses
of the Legislature, if they would profit from
their late victory, follow the wise example of
Mr. Buchanan and his Cabinet, and cut loose
from the lobby and its corruptions, and, first of
all, from that expensive and worse than useless
luxury, a central party organ-for the Kings
fool is invariably q rascally knave, and a. often
as foreign potentates gets his master into
trouble.
In the meantime we admonish all parties, and
all the lobby cliques and organs concerned, that
with the assembling Of the Legislature at Al
bany we shall have our correspondents among
them, to post US up from day to day with their
proceedings and their manGuvres Let us see
if we cannot separate our State Legislation,
State expenditures and State taxes from the

their schemes and combinations against the

INFORMATION WANTED.-The public bursts
with desire to know more about the lady who
took the workmen under her wings ut the
Tompkins square meeting, and offered to sing
for them, 1" like Miss Nightingale in the
Crimea," only pocketing half the proceeds.
Who is she?
First, what is her name? Is it Rank, or
Ronk, or Runk? Can there be an "e' at the end
of it or 80" at the beginning? Is she any re-
lative to our Dutch ancestor, Mynheer Won
Dunk who is celebrated in the household songs
If Runk be her maiden name, why has she
never changed it! II Runk is her husband,
how came she to marry a man with such
name, and where is Mynheer Runks We re-
peat we have right to demand, in view of the
enormous responsibilities just assumed by the
lady, who aud where is Mynheer Runk, or Won
Runk or just plain Runk, without buncombeg
Then, what does Madame Runk want to dos
To give concerts.
Beloved Madame Runk, If you were ten times
more lovely than you are, and If your voice
was os melodious as Jenny Lind's, you wouldn't
be able to get fifty people TO go to your con-
certs, and If their half share of the profits in
volved the poor workmen in responsibility
for half the loss, you would soon take what
they have left.
Sweet Madame Runk, good Madame Runk,
there is q beautiful and ingenious art which
hath been practised by princesses and peasant
girls from the highest antiquity, and yet, we
fear, which escaped the notice of your teachers
in early youth, and is therefore unknown 10
you to-day. We advise you to learn IL; IL is
better than addressing public meetings. II will
do you and others good. The art we mean lis
called knitting; by il you may be able to knit
warm mufier for some little Runk against the
cold winter.

doubt that he could negotiate the loan Of tweu-

Of a subsequent sale Of the island to this coun-
try and perhaps our own government might
advance it to him on some other ground, but
with secret understanding how it was to be
applied.
He need have no fear Of any European inter
vention; England is tied up with India, and i
too fearful of any quarrel with US; Louis Ma
pole0n will have as much as he can do to pre-
serve his own, amid the coming revulsion In
Europe; and in any event the United States
would at once oppose any Intervention by those
Powers, and see fair play in war in the Guf
of Mexico Should Spain declare war against
US we could step in and consummate the whole
thing. These are matters to be thought Of. At
the present time-when Spain is threatening 70
invade Mexico, that republic to declare war
against Spain, the hearts of our people set upon
the admission of Cuba into the Union, and the
filibusters rendering again and again their SER
vices to Comonfort-Ae very tendency Of all
things seems to be the carrying out Of just such
plan as we have sketched.

DoNT MAKE JUDY or YoURsELF.-Our
dirty faced contemporary, the Nacs represents
Mayor Wood as almost rivalling the celebrated
William Pitt, Of England, or Alexander Hamll-
ton, of the American Revolution. Mayor Wood
is doing very WELL and will be elected Mayor
of this city by large majority; but if his
worshippers begin to crack him up as Hamil-
ton or Pitt, they will only make themselves
ridiculous in the eyes of all men of sense and
injure their own cause.

city. They are everywhere denounced as at
terly corrupt and debauched. Men who voted
for Fremont declare that they cannot support
a party which robbed this city of its franchises
in order to obtain material of war for its party
political purposes. Probably the democratic
majority in the city will never have been SO
enormous as at this election. The abuse Of
Mayor Wood in the Tribune and other republi-
can papers has for some time been advanta-
geous to that functionary from its excessive,
brutal, and extravagant character. 1t will
brighten no voter from his side; it will gain none
for the republicans. Nor can the republican
leaders expect to find either the old and respect
able democrats or any really strong man among
the Americans to consent to be their instru-
mcnt much less can they anticipate that the
rank and file of these parties will desert their
party organization for the purpose Of support

aim is money, and whose antecedents stink in

TEnnuSG-Those who have nothing else
to do at this season of the year may trim their
trees and vines. Grape vines Oaght to be
trimmed soon in case they were neglected in
! ovember. 1t is generally supposed that vines
ought not to be cut OK trimmed when tic SAP
flows, or when the vines bleed, though sone
contend that bleeding is not injurious
We advise to trim before the time Of tap
ping to obtain sap. March is not a good
month for trimming grape vines. If the work
cannot lie done as early as February it will be
better to let alone till May, Wien the leaves
will be out and when no sap will flow.
Apple trees and cherry trees may as well be
trimmed now as at any time, provided that
small limbs only are cut-and in case the trees
are trimmed annually Y no large limbs need TO
he cut We would not recommend the cut
ing Of any apple tree limb which was more
than one inch in diameter-and none larger
than this need to be cut in case of an annual
trimming
A fine saw with a dalrow plate is the best
tool for trimming-the limb need not be cut
very close to the body, for the wound may be
too broad to be healed in a single season.
When trimmer has time enoughnnd would be
quite NICE he should have sharp knife and
pare the corners Of the wound, when it will
heal sooner than a, rough edge made by the
saw.
Men shonld not stand on the young limbs
with heavy boots Oh or shoes with nails in
them, for the tender bark will be of more ser
vice where it grew than on the rongh boot.
Put on slippers or easy shoes when you have
young and thrifty limbs to stand on -1uaSS

GROWING PoTAroEs-As several of your
correspondents have related their manner of
tillagc, by which they have obtained a good
crop of potatoes, | wish to relate my practice,
iu which have succeeded in growing good
on light land
New beginners in this section of Virginia,
all experience the want Of home made fertIi-
zcrs. My system is rather the result of such
want than its acknowledged good huSbandry.
In the first place, plough deep and harrow,
az d then MAKE the drills by running the plough
each way in the same furrow in order to make
it as deep as possible, and then draw my ma
nurc which consists mostly of refuse cOrnstalkS
that have been fed to both cattle and horses
aud spread in the furrow-drop the seed po-
tatoeS and cover The after culture being the
usual practice of caltivatin@, ploughing and
hoeing. In speaking to my ncighbOrs Of the
system intended to pursne they said you will
fail as We have tried the practice of manurng
i'll the hill, and although we could grow plenty
of stalks, yet in harvest the potatoes are want
ing.
After the result Of my system of growing
potatoes was asccrtained, my ncighbors said

CaLlrator with regard to the hest manner Of
applying manure, whether in its green Or de-
composed state. The manure mentioned above,

geous to the after crop as if rotted in the heap !?

TMELY HINTs-CARE OF YOUR MEADOWS
TIL Is SPRING--l. Close them low against cat
tie and all kinds of animals Do not allow
even your geese to ramble over them. Every
yonng blade of grass cropped off now will di-
minish the crop Of hay four or five times the
amount of fnutrimeut received by the stock from
the grass This is a kind of profit you can't
afford to- indulge in 2 You will probably
find portions of your meadows on which the
water stands, after a rain. If these are of
any size, dig little hole in the trench which
will drain them into some water-ccurse This
will pay. You may add the turf which you
remove to make the drain, to your manure
heap. 1t will thus be saved, and will not
leave your meadow rough
3. Pick up all the stones which the winter
froStS have brought to the surface The
scythe or mower should not encounter one stone
during the whole season. Do the same with
all sticks, and roots, and chunks, and, as far
as possible, with all stumpS, too. A clear,
even surface is at once a great beauty in q
meadow, and a necessary condition of getting
the whole crop of hay.
A. Cut away all hummocks and ant hills
with good spade, unless You have some more
compendiOuS way of removing them. Rolling
, the meadow, though a good operation, if done
so Us not to leave the ground "a heavy" will
rot always press down these projections
pairing them off is the only sure way The
economy of this operation will be plain to you,
if you remember low many scythes and
suathes have been broken, and how many mow-
ers have been blunted or injured by coming
against these masses of turf.
D. Scatter manure generously over the high
er and poorer ground in your meadow. This
will Of course pay.-Ohi0 Farmer, ,uarct 2l.
