Coon FOR PRENTICE Henry p Clay,
the apostate son of Henry Clay, has been
denouncing Lincoln as an abolitionist.-
Prentice thus discourses to him:
eff Mr.. Clay is not old enough to know
from his own recollection, he ought certain
ly to know from the testimony of others,
that his father, was never candidate for
the Presidency without being constantly
and remorselessly denounced by the whole
of the Democratic leaders and the whole of
the Democratic rank and file as an aboli-
zionist, a thorough and lifelong abo-
litionist. The reereant son ought certainly
to know that the leaders and the masses of
the party, with which he is now acting, al
ways relied upon this infamous charge of
bargain and corruption to work his illustri-
Gus fathers destruction. And, knowing
this, he should be especially careful how
he hurls such charge at others, and most
especially careful how he hits at man who
stood by Henry Clay in every struggle for
nearly quarter of century, and until
the illustrious statesman's death"

DANGER OF THE UNIoN.-Judge Orr,
who stumped Missouri as an opposition
candidate for Governor, ridiculed the idea
of danger to the Union from the success of
the Republicans, and told the following
story to illustrate the assinine character Of
such threats:
''The people are beginning to know them
as well as the lion knew the donkey, with
whom be was travelling. The pair becom-
ing hungry, the donkey proposed that they
should turn aside to cornfeld. They did
so and the donkey having Toasted onits con-
tents was preparing to leave; but the lion
said: What am | to do? cannot eat
corn True said.the donkey. but if you
lie in the bush here, [ will 60 into the
thicket yonder, and frighten the deer with a
bray, SO that you can catch one when they
attempt to escape The lion aged, and
the jackass going into the thicket brayed SC
terribly that all the deer in it came run
ming out. The lion seized one and made a
meal of the prey. On coming back, the
donkey. with much conceit, asked: Didn't
| scare them 2 Yes, replied the lion?' and
you would have scared me. too, if ] hadn t
known who you were.' Just so we might
be frightened by the prediction of danger tc
our institutions by the Democrats, if we did
not know exactly what value to put upon

Our County Convention.

A call for County Convention, in this
County, appears in the present issue of
this paper. We need not remind our Re
publican friends of the Importance of at
tending, in seasonable time, to the selec-
ton of Delegates thereto. Jefferson Coun-
ty ought to be, can be and MUST be, redeem
ed this fall from the thraldom of Loco Fo-
coism; but it can only be done by united
effort on the part of our friends, and the
presentation of ticket for the suffrages of
the people, that is perfectly unexceptiona-
bic. We trust that no man will be placed
in nomination who is not capable of draw
ing out his full party vote. however much
be or his friends may desire that a COM
pliment of that character may be paid him.
A nominating Convention is no place to re-
ward ones friends or punish his enemies
Let the Convention see to it that the
strongest men of the party are placed up
on the ticket-those who can poll the most
votes-and we have no fears as to the re-
suit. A majority of the voters in the Coun-
ty are Republicans, and if ticket is pre-
sented shat has their confidence, and the
names upon it are such as to command
The full Republican strength on the day of
election, we will carry the County by a
good round majority Give us good tick
ct, and all is well. Look to your primary
meetings ana see that the Delegates
chosen are men who fairly reflect the views
Of their constituents, and are prepared to
act for the good of the party, rather than
seek the qualification of any selfish desires
of their own. This done, and Jefferson
County, in November, will wheel into line,
where she of right belongs, in the phal-
anx of Republican Counties in Wisconsin,

markably easy time of it compared with
the one Douglas is having in finding his
mother. The poor man has been engaged
in the search ever since the Baltimore Con-

be found He really is to be pitied He
wants to see his mother, and don't know
where she is. Can't some body inform
him of her whereabouts?

PROPOSED Fusion IN PENNSYLVANIA
Forney's Press opposes the action ofthe
Democratic State Central Committee at
Cresson vehemently, and denounces it as
deliberate assassination of the manner ip
which that body is constituted, and the ma
terial of which it is composed were not full
ly appreciated by the people of all parties. J"
1t will be recollected the Committee deci-
ded that the electoral vote of the State
should be cast for any man running as q
Democrat whom it would elect, and the
Press proceeds to show that the ''com
promise would do great injustice to the
friends of Douglas. 1t is apparent that
the proposed fusion is not acceptable to the
Douglas wing of the party = and the
Philadelphia Enquirer, candid and infu-
entail in dependent journal, says-''As the
case now stands, the more sagacious adher-
ents of the Democratic party freely admit
that 1t IS of slight practical Importance to
the contest in November, whether their
parties presents divided or united front
to their adversaries. If a combination is
formed that will, in any contingency, en-
ure to the advantage of Breckenridge,
thousands of the Douglas men will stay at
home on election day, or else vote for Lin
coin. If on the hand, such compromise
is effected as admits the regularity of Doug
las, and looks to his exclusive benefit, then
thousands of the Breckenridge Democrats
will sullenly refuse to vote. If divided front
is shown, of course defeat is inevitable
Either way makes Liucoln's election sure,
in Pennsylvania.

MICHIGAN CENTRAL RAIL RoAD--A
friend who came over this road, few DAYS
ago, is loud in his praise of it and commend
it as in all respects, model institution.
We have travelled it frequently and always
found gentlemanly conductors in charge of
the trains and that they invariably made
good time. Connecting, as it does, with
the Great Western Road, running through
Canada, it always has been favorite with
the public, as a favorable opportunity is
presented for viewing some of the most
beautiful scenery in the world. Hawley
Cole, Esq, who by the way is gentleman
in every sense of the term, is the agent of
the Co. in Milwaukee, from whom full par
ticulars as to freight, passage, &c, can be
obtained. Our good looking friend Rus.
Wyles, at the Union Ticket office, on Wis
consin street, can also furnish tickets by
that route, and is always ready to impart
any information that passengers may desire
as to that or any other Eastern road.

directing the withdrawal of the American
armies from Mexico, is incorrect, and that
Mr.. Lincoln, instead of voting for that res
olution, in reality voted against it. On an
examination of the record we find our cor
respondent is right.-Foney's Press.
The Montreal Witness says the affairs
of the Grand Trunk Railway appear to be
approaching a crisis and it is generally an
ticipated that the whole concern will have
to be sold for debt. Had the road cost no
more than it really ought to have cost, and
had it been managed with economy, this re-
suit might have been avoided. There is
no doubt, we believe, in the minds of prac-
teal men, but that it might have been made
bridge and all, for little more than half of
what it has cost, the balance being expen-
ded under the heads of jobbing, bribery,
shaves and corruption generally.
At meeting of the Rockford (Ill.) Hor'
ticultural society last winter, Mr.. Ordway
brought a specimen of tomatoes, red and yell
low. small and large, but all perfect, which
had been ripened in his cellar according to
the following method:
"If any one wishes to know how to keep
them fresh and good all winter, read the fol.
lowing recipe:
"Plant late in the season, and pull up the
vines in the fall, before they are injured by
the frost; fasten bag about the stalk, two
inches above the root, then hang them up in
the cellar by a cord, tied around the vine
above the bag, and fill the bag with moist dirt.
When the bag is tied over the root, leave e
small hole at the top, for the admission of
water, which should be used occasionally to
prevent the roots becoming dry. The more
light in the ce",a- the better. They should
be hung clear from the wall, on every side,
and where the sun will strike them from wiz
dow, if possible, and swing the vines up, with
the roots uppermost."
