DIR. Curtis wished to reply, and to say that
if the water in carrots was OF no value, so the
same might be said of water in grass and other
crops, but as time did not allow, the next ques-
ton was taken up.
Third question Does the society offer suf
ficient encouragement to the growing of fruit
DIR. Hartwell of Southbrdge thought under
the circumstances that sufficient of the kind
was given. He alluded to the manner of
giving premiums for the largest and best look
ing fruit, not taking into consideration the
question whether that fruit is the most profit
able to raise or other like tests Of value. Prem
iums seemed TO be given not so much for in
trinsic value as for monster specimens. VIM
ter apples he was satisfied paid the producer
much better than any other kind OF fruit
summer apples, peaches, grapes, Sc, being
good for so limited period, and our markets
not making much demand for them But
winter apples are always good, and should be
valued. If our markets are full they will be
wanted the other side Of the Atlantic, and can
be packed and sent over. Every farmer
should raise fruit, but it was folly to buy your
trees of the struggling agents that come about
from New York and elsewhere. He recon-
mended raising trees from the seed, spreading
the pummice from the cider mill over the
ground you plant, and when the trees come up
to save the best specimens and graft them. He
recommended corn as being good crop to
plant in young orchard, but oats are destruc
tive to trees The trees would in ten years be
in good bearing condition he had this year
taken two bushels of Baldwin apples from a
tree that was seed fifteen years ago. The
Northern Spy apple he spoke of as a very ia
vorable apple to raise. In concluding he
thought it might be well to offer premium for
the best orchard, and one. for the best grapery.
Mr.. Thomas Whitaker of Southbridge, and
Mr.. r, P Dodge of Charlton, also gave some
remarks on this question.
The fourth question discussed was, "Will it
be expedent for the society to offer premiums
on neat stock at the next annual exhibition z"
but no decision, we believe, was arrived at.
These discussions created considerable inter-
est, and gave as much satisfaction, probably,
as regular address would have done

FOR REPRESENTATIVE To CONGRESS,
A-..-LL ~ L...-.t
GOLDSMITH F. BAILEY, of Fitchburg'


The real issue between Hon. Eli Thayer
and the republican party of this congressional
district is easily stated. He seeks to deprive
the great mass of the party of their right to be
truly represented in congress. He is willing
to bring against them combination of all the
parties hostile to their interest, hoping 10 win
to his assistance enough republican votes to
make this crusade successful This view of
the matter is never allowed 10 appear in his
speeches 1t is more accordant with his poll
cy to divert attention from it by introducing
other matters, and seeking 10 provoke dis
cussion of questions which do not belong to
the issue. His present relations with the par
ty are due not half so much to his peculiar
views as to his peculiar personality.
1t had been understood very well from the
beginning that Mr. Thayer intended to be
candidate for congressman, whether nominal
ed by the republicans or not. He himself
confesses this substantially, in his letter an
nouncing that he would be an independent
candidate He said in that letter that he had
thought of declaring that he would "abide the
result of the nominating convention" but was
withheld from doing so by those who were
''more cautious than himself" That is to say,
it was his intention TO be a candidate
for congress, at any rate, but he was disposed TO
"abide the result of the nominating conven-
ton, until he was led TO suspect that the re-
suit might be against him. Does not this
show the real issue as plainly as it can be
shown? He will not allow the republican
party to decide the matter freely for them
selves nor will he show the slightest regard
for their right to be represented in congress to
their own satisfaction. If they nominate Eli
Thayer, well and good; but, if not, he will
consphe with the democrats, and with any
other hostile party that can be found or Gre
ated, TO trample their right under foot Here
is an issue, in presence Of which his peculiar
views of the territorial question become insig-
nifcant.
Why is the Boston Courier so much in ear
nest to have Mr.. Thayer succeed Not because
the Courier and its friends have adopted his
peculiar views, but because they never lose an
opportunity to strike a blow at the republican
party. 1t is not because he has advocated
squatter sovereignty, but because lie has made
war on the policy Of congressional action
against slavery in the territories, because he is
willing to spurn and and defy the republican
organization, and because they hope that with
their aid lie may do the republican party
permanent injury. Sincere republicans will
not be likely to lend themselves to this con-
spiracy against the well being Of their party,
when they consider carefully what it signifies.

Mr.. EDITOR: At the annual exhibition of
the Horticultural Society last year, the best
single specimen OF each of the leading varie
ties of pears on exhibition, was weighed and
record made Of the weight for future refer

ties, have been selected and weighed this year,
and it appears that in twenty-four specimens
the aggregate gain has been forty seven ounces,
or about two ounces to the pear. OF course,
the remarkable increase is in part, ewing to
very favorable season, but probably, much
more to improved cultivation. AS so many of

Hon. Dexter +. Parker, of this city, ad
dressed large and enthusiastic meeting of
republicans in Edwards Hall at Southbridge,
on Thursday evening last. The great part of
his speech related to the representation Of the
ninth district in congress He reviewed, in a
thorough and able manner, the policy of Mr..
Thayer, showing that his course there was
opposed to his party in principle, and that the
facts upon which he based his acts there were
misstated and untrue. The history of the
origin of territorial government was shown to
refute the assertions of Mr.. Thayer, and to
prove the doctrine of the party upon the sub

taken by our representative, at his meeting

the members of his party to sustain the romi.
nation its delegates had made in convention,
rather than weaken its power and influence
by divisions and bolts. And judging from the

the party in this town will follow his

The Wide Awnke..

The Wide Awakes have a reputation in
South Carolina. The Charleston Mercury
takes notice of them, and the New York cor
respondent OF that paper, who has witnessed
some of their brilliant parades, writes about
them like man who has been profoundly as.
tonshed if not terribly scared. In his eyes
they ale mysterious military organization Of
dreadful import to the bad men who threaten
to destroy the Union. "They are drilled in
the light infantry tactics, and already march
as well as our Oldest military companies" And
he goes on in this way -
at only rtquires the substitution of muskets
for torches and swords Tor walking sticks, to
convert these apparently innocent fire-bearers
into IL well drilled and efficient sOldiery. 1t is
noteworthy tact that the republican leaders
are concentrating nearly all their campaign
funds upon the promotion OF these parades
Three OBJECTS are plainly to be subserved by
their torchlght militia First, young men are
drawn into it for the fun OF the thing, and thus
become active republicans. Second, a power
full body gu I'd is organized for the furtherance
OF republican interests at the polls. Third, if
Lincoln should be elected president, and he
should require an army Of lou, OO0 drilled volun
teers in any conceivable exigency, they would
be Immediately forthcoming. There is no false
alarm, no eXaggeration, about these surmises.
OF course, the possible ultimate use to which
such an army may be put gives to the APP
preaching demonstration Of the torch light
militia in this city an importance which other
wise would not attach TO it. The statements
which you see in republican papers, about the
numbers who will attend, are not too highly
colored. And furthermore, i; is limited that
the show in October will be numerically insig.
nifcant compared with the one which will be
made, if Lincoln is elected in the city of
Washington, on the 4th of March next No
wonder that persons the coolest and most ia.
miliar with electoneering machinery, are
alarmed when they contemplate the possible
result Of these martial preparations"
This writer must have genius for seeing
ghosts and comprehending the mystery Of
haunted houses. He certainly has the faculty
of looking al things in such way as to see
a great deal that is not there but this pecul-
iarty is common to all southern upholders of
slavery who undertake to describe the republi-
can party. 1t is very certain that the Wide
Awakes are admirable supporters of republic
can principles, but they use that mightiest
weapon of freemen, THE BALLOT. BY means
of this weapon the country will be saved from
the destructive madness Of that black power
which threatens to destroy it.

that republicans are the innovatOrs and agi-
