DEMOCRATIC ECONOMY.
The financial condition of our gorerr

Inc financial condition of our government, ,
remarks the Lehlgh Register, is calamitous.
The Democracy are forever boasting of the
economical manner in which they conduct the
affairs OF government. No occasion is per-
mitted to pass that they do not give us repe-
tition of this song, and. as though to convince
themselves, they just as presisten.ly charge
upon their opponents reckless disposition to
squander. Let US look moment at the fig
ures as We have them during the administra-
tion of Mr.. Buchanan, and see whether they
will justify this much vaunted boast Of encon-
omy. On the 1st day of July last, the balance
in the treasury was SIS, ,O00, 900; for the three
quarters which have elapsed since then, there
has been added S35 100000 of revenue from
all sources, and the current or closing quarter
will yield SS,000,000 more, giving for the
year the snug sum of SCI ,000, 900. In addi-
tion to this, in December last, the Admins
tion received authority to issue $50 ,O00, 900 of
Treasury Notes, making the enormous sum
of Eighty-one Millions Of Dollars, as expenses
of Government for the current year! But
this is not all. A bill is under consideration
| in Congress, authorizing loan of S15, ,000,-
| 600 for ten years-making in the aggregate,
as the expenses of the year, the sum Of Nine
fy-sir Millions Of Doilars-or Thirty five Mil
lions more than the receipts from all quarters.
1t will not take much figuring to tell where
| this kind of economy will land US at the end
of Mr.. Buchanan's administration.
Now, mark it, this is a hard money govern
ment, and yet one-third of its expenses are
met by pledging its credit, and no recommen-
dation has yet been made to meet its ultimate
payment. No increase of taxation is advised,
and every effort that has been made to increase
the revenue by affording adequate protection
to American industry and labor, has been
scoffed at by those who control the govern
ment. With our industry prostrated, our la
Dor unemployed, and our capital locked up
| and unproductive-rather than change its pol
icy and allow full scope for the exercise of all
these, the Government wickedly pursues its
reckless course and carries On its operations
on borrowed capital.

STATE CONVENTION.

The United American, Republican and Peo-
pies Committee of Superintendcnce for the
City Of Philadelphia, earnestly desirous to cX-
tend and perpetuate that union of the ele-
mentS of opposition to the present National
Administration, which in this City has lately
resulted in such brilliant success do hereby
respectfully suggest, and recommend to the
State Committees representing those several
elements of opposition, that they call upon
the Citizens of Pennsy ylvana, who are opposed
to the present National Administration es-
pecially to its despotic and fraudulent Lecomp-
ton policy, and its willful neglect of the lust
claims of domestic industry and who are in
favor of the Sovereignty Of the People over
their own local concerns of American insti-
tutlons as against the policy and intrigues of
foreign Governments; and of adequate pro-
lection to our home labor, to assemble in their
respective Senatorial and Representative Dis
tricts to choose delegates to State Conven-
ton, to meet at Harrisburg, in the Hall of the
House of Representatives. at o'clock p NJ.

For that which we grow for winter use
no further work is necessary on il after
the first handling process, until il is dug
up to be put away for winter use--our
system Of which / have already described
in a previous number Of Country Cen
tleman." Il is common practice 10 earth
up all the celery before il is put away n
winter quarters; hut this is not only use
less but positively Injurious, as il rots uiuth
quicker if tIanched before putting away
in the trenches.
About the varities best toct.ltivate, there
is much difference of opinion, and we lave
new sorts sent out every season. each and
all claiming to be solid Now. our exPe.
perience IN cultivating some FIVE or six
different sorts, leads US to the belief tLai
the sclidity or hollowness of any variety
is mainly caused ty the nature Of the soil
on which it is planted.
The ground on which my celery is
grown, represents three distinct varieties
of soil--namely a stiff clayey Ioam, a
sandy loan, and a Hack alluvial deposit,
all highly enriched by manure. On the
black leafy soil, we have Gel lery of fine size
but invariably hollow; on the sandy loan
we have it of fair size and a fair degree
of solidily, hat on the clayey loam we
have it of extra size and perfectly solid.
All the plants on these several soils being
from one seed-btd containing only one
variety, the results have teen invariably
the same in seven or eight seasons, and
the sorts being repeatedly changed dur
ing that time, From these facts it will
be seen, when we have cLoice, we pre-.
fer heavy loam with clayey subsoil as
best adal ted for the growth Of this vtge-
.taLle. as giving it with more solidiiy, a
better flavor, and being more conductive
to winter etping. i. f5 d.

P. SIN I, ply to F.. s." who seems
10 think that an error has been made in
the siatt ment that fifteen thousand per
week is our average sales, allow me to
say that this is correct. We grow some
thirteen or fourte, acres, each acre con-
tanning 10000, aud cur average time Of
selling is sixteen weeks; yet We are Ly
nqmtaps the largest growers of that veg
etaLle here. There are several otlers

CauIlf0Ker.

A few caulihowers should te, ly all
N, ans, sown in the holttd. They are
one of the grt atest iuxuries as a vtgtta-
lie that is grown. A hundred plants will
be good supply for a private family.
The secret OF success is a highly manur-
"a spot of ground, deeply sFadtd Per-
hapo the simplest way 10 perform this, is
to open trench as for Ct lery. one foot
deep and wide; fill in at least six inches
of well rotttd manure, ,TadIng the same
up to incorporate 1t with the soil plant
two feet apart, and If more tLan one III
a row, three feet in zach row. In all dry
spells, give thorough soaking Of water
working some of the soil down after, to
prevent the rapid evaporation of the mois-
ture " hot sun. Constant cultivation du-
ring the summer with the hoe is a great
help to tht in, and most sensilly felt ii per-
formt d while the dew is on.
This holds good with all the Brassica or
caltage triLe, 80 much so tLat a fine
growth has been known to result from it
without manure from ground liat would
olherwise produce nothing, ii cropped
with those rank feeders.
The more we hoe, the more we grow,
Is an old garden distich tLat Should ntv-
ef lie lost sight of by those who would x
eel in the growth of kitchen garden pro-

from their not always heading in before

be advantageous 10 state that If they art

part Of winter, and thus produce : cauis-
inc dainty that an tpicure might be proud
Of.
The cauliaower may be said to be a
