Hereafter, too, there should be no de
lays of legal proceedings allowed to in.
tervene between the apprehensions, o.
insurgents and their execution. Each
Sheriff in his county, each magistrate in
his bailiwick, should be allowed the pow.
er Of declaring martial law in times ci
djsturbance-and insurgents should be
shot, as soon as apprehcnded, by fiies o.
soldiers.
But the South will have to do more
than this Military collision between
North andSouth being inevitable, should
be adequately prepared for. The south
would be able to repel invasion from the
North With ease; but more effectual
measures than those Of mere defence
would be requisite to put stop to vexa
tions incursions from the hostile section.
In order to check aggression, the South
would have, Scipio like, to carry the

He finally however RECEIVERS himself and
sets the former down as rank abolition
ist, whose sympathies if not aid, would
be extended to the North. France he
thinks would certainly be southern in
her sentiments. Such is the fanaticism
Of Southern Democracy. Do the Re

How Goshen Butter is Made.

It is an undeniable fact that the ma
jority Of Western Farmers wives ar,
poor butter makers. They may have
numerous excuses to present, such as
poor cellars, want Of diary room Sc; !; bu
hAving all these things they would no
make as good butter as is now made il
the east unless more pains is taken By
those who have the charge of the cream
and churning and working the butter
We wish every housewife in Tama
County would read the following from
q practical butter maker Of Goshen, Or.
ange County, N. Y. Butter made by
the dairymen of this County always
commands higher price in the City Of
New York, than that made in any other
part Of the world and what they say
about its manufacture, should be prac-
tically followed by other people.
"The Southern Planter contains the
following account Of the process Of max
ing butter in Goshen, from the pen Of
Mr.. Denniston, practical butter maker !:
The cellar, where the milk is kept,
should be cool, ell ventilated, and clean.
The milk ought to be strained into
pans containing ten or twelve quarts
each. IF the weather is very warm, the
pans ought to be set on the cellar bot
tom-otherwise on shelves. The milk
ought not to be churned until it becomes
thick, or loppered-the milk and cream
are then churned together. Some dairy
men skim off the cream and part Of the
milk, and churn that, but Goshen butter
is churned from the milk and cream.-
The churn used is the common " "dasher
chura," driven by dog, horse, or hand
power, according to the sizo Of the dai-
~. The churn may be half or two thirds
full with milk and pailful Of cold
water added before starting to churn.-
In cold weather, warm water is put in.
The churning should be with slow,
regular motioE-and to make good SOL
id butter, will take from one hour to one
hour and half; before the churniDg is
done, another pailful Of water ought to
be thrown in. When the butter is done
take it out, wash it through one water in
large tray, throw the water out, then
salt the butter, using about one ounce Of
pure Liverpool (Ashton) salt to each
pound of butter. Work the salt through
the butter-put in cool place, and let
it stand an hour; then work it carefully
over, and set it aside for five or six hours
it over again, and set it aside in
the samo cool place until the next morn
ing, when it is packed. In working but
ter, great care ought to be taken to scorh
out all Of the milL-bat not to work It
too much, 50 a. to break the grain, and
make it salvey.' IF any milk is left in
the butter will soon become rancid; and
if worked too much it will be 6 greasy"
or salvey, and not solid. Butter work.
ed just enough, will be solid-svcet-yel,
lo,o-and the drops Of brine on it will
be IS clear as crystal.'

AN ELECTION BET.-Tbe foreman Of

AN ELECTION BET.-Tbe foreman OF
