Annual Flower SeeC S.

The ladies should remember that one of
the prime causes why their annual flower
seeds viii not come up, is the want of pow
er to force their way through the baked and
hardened surface of the soil. Care is usual
ly taken by the ladies in sowing their favorte
seeds; they make the soil very nice, rake it
little, and then wonder that nothing, or
next to nothing, appears. If they will ex-
anime their little beds, they will find that
the rains have battered down the soil 50 as
completely to encrust it, forming a barrier
through which it is impossible for the seed
to penetrate TO remedy this take an iron
rake and break up the surface finely after
each rain, and if the seeds were good when
sown, you will then find them to gerninate
freely.

PLATFORM OF THE NATIONAL i
MOCRACY OF CALIFORNIA:

Adopted by the Democratic State Convention,
at Sacramento, August 9Th, 1858.
"Resolred. That the Democracy of California
maintain. with unfaltering faith, their attachment
to the WISE just, and liberal principles announced
in the Cincinnati Platform and, among others,
they most cordially approve and will most faith
fully sustain the doctrine OF popular sovereignty
and its inseparable guaranty non-ntervention Of
the Federal Government with the domestic insti-
tutions of State or Territory.
'ResolUed, That the act of Congress, known as
the English Compromise bill. having referred the
whole subject of the admission of Kansas to the
decision of the people thereof, we do, without re-
gard to former differences of opinion, accept and
abide by the reference, and cannot but deem any
attempt to revive the agitation of that subject
in National politics, as violation Of the spirit
and intent of the Kansas Nebraska law and dan
gerous to the peace and integrity of the Union.
'ResOiped, That we have undiminished conf
dence in the wisdom, patriotism and Democracy
of the Chief Magistrate Of the United States,
and pledge to him and his Administration the ear
nest support of the people Of California in main
tanning the honor and integrity Of the Union,
both at home and abroad.
''Res0'ced That we deem the passage of the
Pacific Railroad bill as of vital Importance, not
only to the interests of California, but to those
of the Union at large, and that whilst we deeply
regret the postponement of that measure and the
unfortunate causes which led to it, we congratu-
idtc OuI ptOplc upon cStADllsuuieUt OI Il COHl-
plete system of overland mail lines upon all the
main northern, central and southern routes to the
Pacific coast
"Resolced, That American ships at sea under
the American flag, in time of peace, are subject
to the jurisdiction Of the United States, and to
that of no other power on earth, whether for
search, visitation, or any other purpose whatever,
and we rejoice in the promptitude, energy, and
success with which this great principle has just
been maintained by Democratic Administration
"ResOlved, That we cordially invite the CO.
operation Of all National men, without regard to
former political associations, to unite with us in
the present and prospective struggle against sec
tiOnalism and its attendant evils
"Resoived, That the present Democratic Admi-
nstratiOn of this State is entitled to and receives
our cordial approval.
Res0loed, That we recognize the right of the
people of each State and Territory, when so de-
sired by them, to vote upon the adoption or re-
lection of their fundamental law; but we hold
that it belongs not to the Congress of the United
States, but to the people themselves, speaking
through their own representatives to say whether
they do or do not desire to exercise such rights.

Bradford reporter. [volume] (Towanda, Pa.) 1844-1884, 1858-04-01

Gsa5~ Ihe evidence that we were correct IN
advising the editor of the Wayne County
Herald to mind his own business" is furnish
ell by his answer Oar advice was predicated
upon the presumed ignorance of the editor
aforesaid as to the true state of affairs, and
belief that the people of this District were COM
pctent to regulate their domestic matters them
selves The Herald asserts that the opposition
to the proposed change in this Judicial Dis
trict, is based upon the allegation that it is
done to legislate Judge WIIMor out Of Office,
and accuses somebody of advocating Judge
WIMor's "right to be considered the future
Judge of his District" Friend BEARDsLEY,
you might have displayed your ignorance with
out showing so much unfairness. Pray, who
opposes the change because it deprives Judge
WILMor of seat upon the bench, as far as it
relates personally to him 1t is exactly be-
cause his enemies have made it q personal mat
ter, that we have denounced it. No man or
set of men has right to presume that Judge
WILMor is certain to be reelected in October
or if they so presume they have no right to
deprive the people of their Constitutional right
to elect. 1t is against the outrage upon the
rights of the people that we protest. We
claim they have q right to elect their Judge,
and if they see fit to choose Judge WIIMoT
they are not amenable to the WJyne County
Herald, nor to any other selfconstituted cen
sor.
1t is not true that, that the Bradford bar
almost unanimously declare that the due ad-
minstration of justice demands the change"
on the contrary majority of the acting men,
bers of the bar is opposed to the change.
We recolect that some years ago, Gov.
BIGLER saw fit to appoint Judge BARRETT to
preside over the Courts of the District of
which Wayne is part, in opposition to the
wishes of the editor of the Herald, who was de
sirous of the appointment of 1--WE believe) his
friend DIMMIcK. The indignation of Boards
LEY was fully expressed because foreign Judge
was appointed to preside over them, although
it was done in legal manner, no constitution
al rights violated, and the people in few
months were to elect for themselves Now it
is proposed to impose upon US foreign Judge
in whose election our people would have no
part, in gross and open violation of Consttu-
tional guarantee, and for the avowed purpose
(at least with its originators) of preventing the
the people from electing for eight years to
come. Against the former act, the editor of
the Herald exhausted bis indignation, so that
he has only praises for the latter outrage
