burrows or hills Of the corn or cotton and
covering it up and all made in this way
before the first Of March may DO used by
external application, that is, on corn around
the stalk after it has come up and been
plowed once, which is as good plan to
manure corn as any other. A double hand.
ful of well-ro.ted compost manure to each
hill of corn just before the second plowng
to be covered up by the plow, will increase
the product Of the corn from SO to 100 per
cent.
The opinion Of your committee is, that
the most profitable mode of applying ma.
nure in the hill or drill, either to corn or
cotton, is as follows: In January or Februa.
~, in fact as early as it can be done, after
the previous crop is gathered, lay Off your
land by opening furrow with n twister,
running back and forth two furrows in the
same row, and then follow with a subsoil
p!cw, and put two burrows with a one-horse
subsoil plow, or one with two-horse sub.
soil, then scatter your manure along the
drill as thick rs you have it to pu, on, not
less than IL or 90 bushels to the acre; corer
this with two twister burrows and let il re-
main until you are ready 10 plant, and then
open with long narrow scooter or bull
tongue, which will stir up the man ure and
mix it with the soil-drop your cotton or
corn in this furrow; and if cotton, cover with
cotton coverer; and if corn, cover with two
burrows with the subsoil one-horse plow;
and your committee will insure au ample
reward for the labor employed.
The subject Of green manures is loo
much neglected in our district, and your
committee are so limited in their experience
on the subject that we can only express the
urn conviction, from the analogy of nature
and the theory and experience of others,
that the pea vine may be successfully and
profitably used as "a green manure, and
would earnestly recommend every farmer
who has the means to try the experiment,

of devoting more time and attention to the

90 1t is not very serious matter, but we may as
we'll set the Herald right about our position with
reference 10 the constitution of Kansas being submit
ted to the popular vote. We have never commended
that submission of the constitution OF Kansas to
the popular vote was necessary, according to Demo-
cratic principle and policy, but We have contended
that we could see no objection to it, if the proper
authorities of Kansas saw proper to order it. The
precedens as we have stated before this time, are
both ways, and if the people of Kansas acting legal
w. through their constituted authorities, choose 10
submit it to the abiding citizens of the Territory,
we cannot object, without denying to them what we
are going TO take for ourselves the LIST Thursday
of next month. This must come from the free
motion of the people OF Kansas, legally made
and the vote must be in accordance with the election
laws of Kansas, legally enacted-not the result oil
outside pressure On the contrary, should the con-
stitution not be SO submitted, neither principle nor
precedent would be violated, although upon the
whole, we think it would be better that should be
submitted-we mean more expedient--this, however
being mere ma ter of private opinion, involving nc
question of principle.

&C. Few people here will object TO the abstract
right of SC the people, of Kansas to vote upon the
constitution to be framed by their delegates in con-
yention in September next That is matter for
that people themselves 10 decide upon, acting in a
legal and proper manner, through their legal and
constituted authorities. The constitution may be
submitted to the people," or it may not, Just as
said people choose. But who are the people to
whom this constitution fairly be submitted ?
The Washington Union and its followers seem to
regard as faconsts disunionists rascals those Dem
ocras who object to Walkers threat of congresson-
al rejection and his opposition, unless the constitu-
ton be submitted to all the inhabitants of Kansas
1t is not long since the Washington Union held the
following language:
"The Democratic, conservative portion of the
country will regard as the people of Kansas only
such as are now uniting TO frame form of govern
ment in accordance with the provisions of law and
not those who are seeking to parayze the popular
will, by illegal subtertnges and the bubbles of ia
naticsm Whatever the Constitution may be, whether
recognizing excluding slavery, silent in regard
to the lnsltutlon-it will be viewed as the expression
OF the will OF the people of Kansas, as those who
frame it will act under the Federal Constitution, and
in manner recognized by the organic law"
Now that was the right sort of talking The or
ganc law of the Territory places the whole matter of
the qualifications of in the hands of the Ieos
lative Assembly of the Territory, and that Assembly
has passed law excluding no law-abiding man
imposing no conditions rreconcileable with any mans
freedom of opinion. We agree with the Union that
the persons who comply with this law, constitute the
people OF Kansas, and not Those who are seeking 10
paralyze the popular WILL by illegal subterfuges and
the bubbles of fanatcism. If it be meant by Gov.
Walker, that The constitution should be submitted to
all the legally qualified citizens of Kansas we see no
why the suggestion should not be adopted as
a suggesion-not yielded to as threat. lift is
meant that the election laws of Kansas should be 50
annulled and abrogated to leave the final decision
of the question in the hands of those who are and
have been seeking TO paralyze the popular will, by
illegal subterfuges, and the bubbles of fanacism,
then we say nevcr-under no circumstances we
take the Washington Union to bear US out.
