which will demand the impeachment OF high
officials. 1t would seem that in many de-
partmeuts, there is a deliberate disregard
of the letter Of the Law, and what IS more
shameful still, that there have been authorized
violations Of the sanctity of private CORES
pondence.
To relieve our institutions from the niamy
the present Administration has put on them
and 10 save us from the calamity IN which the
finger of scorn would point at US from every
quarter of the world, it is the duty ct every
man, whether a representative OF the people,
journalist. or otherwise, to make the facts
appear, that they may call down crushing
denunciations on the heads of the guilty
Here is one A gentleman Of one OF the cities

Ess@ The Chicago Democrat and other
Republican papers are urging the necessity
OF running Southern man for President to
give our party national character" Is a
man any less national from living in free
state! Are the free men of the North less
national than the slave holder of the south?
Is not the reverse the fact? Does not the
history OF the past proys that Southern poll
tloians are exclusively sectional in their
principles and conduct They are only
equalled by the dough faces of the north who
have sold themselves to the south for their
votes. We are for northern man for Presi
dent and Vice President, not particularly
because they may live in the north. bu, be-
cause they are national men, and are in
favor OF freedom, and trust the free men of
the north will no longer harp on this idea
that a southern candidate is necessary TO give
national character" TO our ticket.

EXPANSIVE skirts, and of course they were oil ne

the fashion of that day.

fruits and that soil with more or less of these in
gredielts was best suited to fruit culture Trees
growing upon clay soil. produced more compact
and harder wood, which was less liable to injury
by cold lie said The apple expanded more 10

other lie had tried it by banding every month
in the year.
b. Stratau said hat his peach trees gro wing on
the rich allusial deposits had not one-ffth as
many blossoms as those on his CLAW soil. He
