Van Yorhes in Favor of Dissolution of
the Union!

We have, in several numbers OF
our paper, given record of the votes
of n. II. Van Worries in the last
Black Republican Legislature, to show
that his assertions now, that the Re
publican party never advocated the
doctrine of "no more slave States" ale
false. We have now the evidence,
and from a source that cannot be de.
MED, thet Mr.. Van Worries not only
favors this doctrine, but carries his
hostility to the admission Of more
slave States to such an extent that he
would favor a DISSOLUTION OF
TIE UNION in preference. lie SC
expressed himself on the Attn of July
1856, in Coolvllle, in the presence o
j. o. Athey, Judge Fulton and 9th
ers. Read the affidavit Of Mr. Athey
to that affect, made before q Justice
of the Peace in Coolville:
On the morning of the 4th Of July
1856, Mr.. N. II. Van Worries, being
in Coolv;lle, at the house of j. o
Athey, the question was asked him
IVAN Vorhes) by Judge Fulton, o
AmeS vile, what his views were rela
tive to Kansas, or the further eEten
sion of slave territory2 Mr. Van
Vorhes said, rather than see Kansas
como in as a slave State, or slavery ex
tend any further, he would say DIS
SOLVE THE UNION.
/, John O. Athey, make oath and
say that the above conversation was
in my house and in my presence.
Signed, j. o. ATHEY.
Sworn to and subscribed before me
and in my presence this Goth day Of
September, A. ID. 1858.

Toodles Whines about Person alitles.

The following is from the columns
of that highly moral and truthful
sheet over which the immaculate Too
dies presides:
"When we shall so far forget the
position we occupy as an independent
editor, having control Of an independ.
ent paper, as to descend to low perS0.
nal and malignant abuse Of an Oppo-
nent's private character, We give the
Democrat editor notice, that We shall
Immediately apply for admission into
the Macarthur Locoloco clique, and
run for Office; for in no other place,
during our long experience as an edi-
tor have we found SO much innate
meanness and contemplate puppyism,
Of which the editor Of the Democrat
is the chief exponent"
personal and malignant abuse of
an opponents private characterT-
That is rich! For a man who has
maliciously attacked the private char
acters Of nearly every prominent Dem
ocrat in the county, insinuating that
some of them were thieves, some
swindlers and the whole Of them a set
of corrupt rascals, virtually accusing
them of perjury and every other crime
which public officers can commit--for
such G man to whine about "personal
abuse" is the coolest piece of assu-
rance we have ever heard of! 1t be-
tokens one thing, however, which is,
that the editor Of the Journal has
(what many people supposed he was
destitute of) q heart! When his con.
duct is exposed to public view, he
seems to possess feelings and sensibil-
ities like other mortals; and this one
thing he appears in his anxiety to
crush his political foes, to- have for
gotten. 1t will be an excellent thing
for him if he will reform his own
ways first before setting himself up
again as a censor and judge of the
actions of other people. We believe
that a man who occasionally gets
drunk has no right to publish in his
journal the fact that others have "ru-
bicund noses" lie oughtnOt to blame
people for following his example. He
should show them the same charity
which he expects for himself. In con-
clusion, Mr.. McBeth has virtually
charged us with Swindling. We have
disproven his charge, and notified tue
people that he is a drunkard, which
he dares not deny. We shall be glad
to see him reform; but until he docs,
let him remember that he lives in
glass house and must not throw stones.

A Fact.

This fact should be borne in mind:
Slavery has no foothold in any Of the
organized Territories Of the United
Statos:
Kansas is free.
Nebraska is free.
Utah is free.
Oregon is free.
Washington is free.
Dakotah is free.
New Mexico is free.
The above comprise Nll our organ.
lied Territories. There is no intelli-
gent man North or South who be-
lieves that slave State will be made
out ofany Of those Territories, or out
Of any unorganized Territory not enl-
braced within the limits of the State
of Texas. The Democracy have had
possession Of the Government nearly
all the time since 1900, and if their
policy leads to the extension of slavery
into free territories, why is it, that to.
day all Of the latter are free and that
nobody expects TO see slavery estab.
lished Os an institution in any of thems
The story about slavery extension is
all bosh and CANNON! The Govern
ment at Washington has no power to
extend or contract it. The whole sub
ject is left to the people of the States
and Territories themselves, and they
will do as they please without caring
for the sentiments of outsiders.

SETTING GRAPE VINEs.-Th land for grape
vines must be deeply disintegrated by soms
means. 1t is idle to plant them in hard
grounds or stick them into holes dug or
punched in stiff soil. There is no prepsra-
ton equal to trehching. This is done with a
spade, digging the whole tract to be planted
three feet deep.s The next best preparation
is by the double pillow, reversing the top soil
iitteeen inches, and stirring the subsoil ten or
fifteen inches more with the subsoil litter.
The very best manure for grape vines, is
swamp muck.

AHs ACE AND FEED OF Hoes TO BE Far
TED'-lhere is in my view "a wrong notion
entertained respecting the age at which hogs
should be tattened and butehered, Some
think the best way is to get spring Dig and
keep him until he is year and a half old
and during this long period. continue to feed
him from day to day, that when he is BUTCH
cred, he may weigh some three or four hun
dred pounds. Whether it is the most economic
! cal way of making pork may well be doubted.
Experiments, repeatedly made, prove it not
to be. A mode of feeding pig or shoat NAV
be praetieed which will bring forward the
animal rapidly to the size Of a, large hog.
This may be accomplished in afew months
and thus the result would be found to be most
satisfactory. And yet some farmers adhere to
the old notion that it is more profitable to
take spring pigs feed it through the summer
and autumn, and then through long and
hard winter; and then the next autumn fat
and kill him for pork. Now instead of this
continuous labor OF year and half in pre-
pairing the animal for pork, let the farmer be-
GIN feeding the pig in the spring of the year,
and pursue for six or eight months the me-
thod recommend, aud in the following De-
cember he will have lusty and fat porker,
Let him not feed the animalwith corn in the
ear this is a slow method of fattening hogs
besides it is virtually throwing away and
wasting one half the feed | have found out
this by repeated trials. Grind the corn and
thus convert it into meal. With this meal
and hot water make pudding, which must
be given to the hog in small quantities and
repeatedly through the day. II fed four or
five times daily the animal win improve more
rapidly in fat and size. ..,.
From experiments made, am convinced
that pig or hog will improve faster, when
alone, IN pen, than when shut up and fat
tened in company with Others. Although
can assign no satisfactory reason for this,
unless it be that the solitary hog is more quiet
and nndisturbed while feeding vet / think
that those who are willing to try the expert
men', will find it to besa fact Cor. RwaI

DRYING RHuBARB.--In late number Of
the Country Gentleman, noticed an inquiry
from gentleman relative to drying rhubarb.
Rhubarb dries very well, and when well pre-.
pared will keep good for an indefinite period.
The stalks should be broken off while 'they
are crisp and tender, and cut into pieces
about On inch in length. These pieces should
then be strung on thin Irvine and hung up
to dry. Rhubarb shrinks very much in dry
ing, more SO than any plant am acquainted
with. and strongly resembles pieces Of soft
wood When wanted for use il should be
soaked in water over night, and the next day
sinmered over a slow FIRE. None of its prop.
critics appear to be lost by drying, and it is
equally as good sauce in Winter as that made
from any other dried fruit. Very few varie.
ties Of rhubarb are suitable for drying, as most
Of them contain too much woody Gbre. Tho
best variety ofrhubarb fol. any purpose is the
Victoria when grown in suitable location.
The Mammoth is worthless, owing 70 its
norous nature, as are also some other kinds.
The consumption of rhubard is rapidly in
creasing in our cities and villages, as its mer-
its become known. 1t is the most wholesome
plant know Of, and makes dumplings and
pies that might tempt an epicure. ]. A. v. :.
