holder within the jurisdiction Of the federal constitu
ton, il is now asserted that the populations Of the
Territories may DO, notwithstanding the guarantees
contained in that instrument The people of the States
subjected, in exercising the functions Of popular
sovereignty to the restraining provisons Of their
State constitutions as well those Of Me federal
compact The people of the United State who are
really sovereign not only within their seye,Al com
munities, but in the Territories also, are curbed
and restrained in the exercise of sovereign power by
written constitutions but yet the people of the Ter
ritories are now declared TO be free as the wild
bualoes anelopes Of the prairie to exercise the
attributes of popular sovereignty without any sort
of constitutional restraint at their own arbitrary
pleasure and with entire abandon.
The trainers of the federal constitution felt them
selves bound to respect individual rights to protect
by constitutional provisions individual rights, which
the inhabitants of the Territories il is now asserted
may trampe upon and destroy at their arbitrary will
and pleasure.
The tendency Of all republics has been to the
gradual accumulation of arbitrary power in the
hands of the populace, at the expense Of the const
tutional rights of individuals and mnortes IIsto-
ny teaches that when all barriers against this arb-
trary power Of the populace have disappeared, the
change from the tickle despotism of the many to the
more steady and consistent despotism of single
dictator, has succeeded natural result and been
accepted by the governed a relief and blessing
Popular government has arrived at the brink of de
struction when the laws repudiated, oonsttn
tons spit upon, and the arbitrary sovereignty Of
the populace inaugurated for the next step from
popular license, in the historical progress of govern
ment is, to the dictatorship of single popular IA
vorite master Of men. Much is said of Legislative
usurpation, and of Judicial usurpation; but more
dangerous than all to free government is popular
usurpaton; for when once tho despotsm Of the
popuace is established by the overthrow of laws
and constitutions, it is but question Of time how
long before the people will seek escape from the in
tolerabe despotism of the multitude to that of sim
gle iyrant, whose neck at least is responsible for
outrageous misfeasancc.

Ba- Deep ploughing has, we are informed,
been of great advantage to those farms that
are billy. Hillsides, especially, are protect
ed BY deep ploughing. The soil will then
absorb the rain that falls, keeps it moist,
and it is not so likely to wash away as when
the surface is merely loosened. Farmers
tell us that tho best way to raise corn on
hillsides is to plough deep, and then keep it
clear of weeds with harrow and the hoe.
This preserves an even surface aud prevents
the soil from being washed away, preserves
| its moisture in time Of drouth, and the
formation of gullies is stopped During dry
seasons the same plan has worked admira-
bly, on level lands When the land is
ploughed and becomes mellow to the depth
of fifteen inches, all that is wanted is to
keep the weeds and grass out This may he
done with the harrow and hoe. The more
the ground is disturbed or turned up to the
sun, the drier it becomes, and the more the
roots suffer for the want of moisture
Ground when put in good order by the
plough and harrow in the Spring will re-
main so all summer A farmer who knows
saws the drouth does his corn but little inju
~ when he gets his ground in good order
and keeps it clear Of weeds with the harrow
and hoe. He says that plOughing deep fur
rows, without afterwards levelingi it with
the harrow, let's the water pass off as soor
as it falls, and takes off with it the best soil
Now that corn is suffering greatly from thu
drouth this is worthy Of consideration.
