rRAsseLAarIaG TREES IN THE AUTUMN.

"Do you approve of tall plantinga" is
a question asked us every day. Our an,
swer is, Yes, under these circumstances:
lst. When the ground is Of such nature
and in saeh condition that water will not
lodge around the roots of trees during win
ter. To plant trees in holes sunk in stiff,
tenacious soils, is certain method of Kill
ling them.
81. The trees should be perfectly har-
dy. All delicate or half hardy trees
should invariably be planted in the spring.
If it be necessary to take them up in the
fall, they had better be laid in 10y the
roots in dry soil, sheltered from, the cold
cutting winds, and, if necessary, protected
with plenty of boughs of evergreen, or
something Of that nature.
Sd. We do not approve Of planting ev-
|ergreen trees in the fall, unless the very
hardest sorts, and that quite early, say to
|Srptemher or fret of October, in time for
The trees to re-root, partially, before hard
frosts and they should be sheltered from
the sun an | wind by thick screen OF
evergreen boughs, well secured around
them.

Icumstances will permit after the wood is
ripe Don't wait till the leaves fall, but
lieut. them of, being careful not to injure
the buds. Late planting, however, if well
done, may be equally successful.
5th. Secure all treesifrom being blown
about by the winds. and mulch with half.
rotted mar ure or leaves three or four inch
les deep.
Asparagus, rhubarb. gooseberries, and
|currants should all be planted in the fall
and as early as possible. Also.. hardy
bulbs, such as hyacinths, tulips, narcissus
crocus, crown-imperials, and lilies. 1t is

In no State in the Union is the Dem
ocatic party moro united iHfupport Of the Pres
dents Kansas policy than in the great State oi
New York. Its stated upon good authority
that there is not single Democratic paper in
the whole State thatdoes not come up fairly and
squalely to the support of the administration
As necessary result Of this union and harino-
ny the Democrats have made large gains in the
recent town elections throughout the State
THIS is fact which our anti I.ecompton friends
would do well to ponder over. They say that
il the Presidents Kansas policy is carried out
it will break the Democratic party down in the
North. The following from The New York
Daily Nctcs is sufficient answer to all such pre-
dction>:
This fact IS ono TO wlich we are proud to in
vite the attention of the Democratic press in
other States. The town elections now being
held throughout the State of New York, arc
almost everywhere resulting in large gains to
the Democratic party, in spite of the inyariable
fusion OF the Know Nothing remnants with the
Black Republicans And the gains are the
larger and the more signal Just in those counties
where the Democratic papers were the earliest
and bodest in advocating the admission of Kan
sas under the Lecompton Constitution! Let
those who prate Of the 'unpopularity' of the
Administration programme, reflect upon this!
And so it has gone throughout the State. II
the Democrats orOhio woull stand by the Pres
dent, the glorious old Buckeye State would be
redeemed next fall.

and by violence and not through the peaceful
agency OF the hallot-box. Claiming to have q
majority of the voters Of the Territory, and
therefore able to elect legislatures aud conyeh-
lions, they yet ask Congress to wrongly do lol
them what they mAy, at legal times and lsgal
places, rightinlly do ior themselves-that is,
change or abolish their constitution. And Ia
case Congress refuse to comply with their uncon-
stitn,ional demand, they threaten to alilict the
country with an attempt at bloOdshed andrcvo.
luton. UhleSS Congress will DO for them what
thel assert they are numerous enough to do for
themselves, but which they willful!y refuse to
do, they threaten to plunge the country into
cjyl war. This conduct is so exceedingly un-
reasonable as TO force the conviction upon the
mind that they are conscious of being in a
hol eleSs minority, and only expect to be able
to compass their Unwarrautahle ends by trio,-
tHg them from the general love Of peace and
quiet. fyour committee are not greatly mis-
taken, those reckless :aen miSudge the Amer
lean people, aud viii! be required to seek peace
fol methods for the redress ofall their grieyan-
ces, whether they be real or imaginary.
The committee do not approve the ordinance
accompanying the constitutional report against
its allowance; but they do not regard it MS any
part OF the constitution nor will its diSapproval
by Congress affected the validity ofthat conSti-
tuition il the State be admitted into the Union
as recommended.
In conclusion, this committee IS Of opinion
that when constitution of newly formed
State, created out Of our own Territory, is pre-
scnted to Congress for admission into the Union,
it is no part of the duty or privilege OF Congress
either TO GPprore or disagpyop the constitution
itself and its various provisions, o. eng Of them,
but simply to see whether il be the legal conSti-
tuition OF the new State; whether il be rcpubli-
can in form; whether the boundaries proposed
be admissible; and whether the number of in
habltants be sufficient to Justify independent
State organization.
Believing that the paper presented is the legal
constitution Of Kansas, that it is republican in
its form that the boundaries proposed by it are
admissible, and conccding the suifciency ofthe
population, the committee recommend the
admission Of Kansas into the Union upon the
constitution presented, and report a call accor-
