Apples.

MIR. Clarke, of Lake Superior, made
some interesting statements the other
day at tn eFarmers' Club, relative to the
raising of apples there. We COPY
He spoke ofapple trees on the Apos-
tie Islands, in Lake Superior, latitude
46, l-2 planted by Mr.. G. H. OAKEs of
St. Paul, ONE years since, which had
borne on alternate years for seven years.
He had eaten apples from them, and
the trunks of the trees were six inches
thick the soil was composed of the
debris of old red sand stone, and in the
winter the snow usually lies two or three
feet deep. Those facts, he said, should
encourage the farmers of Minnesota to
press on in their endeavors to produce
apples, and he believed they would fin
ally be successful.

Edward Bates.

Among the many distinguished states
men whose names have been mentioned
by the Republicans in connexion with
the next Presidency, that of Edward
Bates Of Missouri stands prominent.
The high conservative position of Mr..
Bates entities, him to this distinction.
Born and living in Slave State-with
sympathies and interests identified with
the South-his is nevertheless patri-
otism that embraces the welfare and
glory Of the whole country. .@
On the slavery question, he occupies
a noble position. His views coincide
with those of all conservative. northern
men,. He believes slavery to be an
evil. He deprecates its farther extern
sion. He denies that the constitution
has power to establish or protect slavery
in the territories. He believes it can
only be established and protected in the
federal territory by competent affirma-
tive legislation.
This is the position occupied by con-
men at the North and we be-
lieve iS the only true national position
Why would not Edward Bates make a
good Republican President , He is a
conservative man he is an experienced
statesman a safe counselor 4; gen.
tleman of marked ability, and loves the
Union and the Constitution. His name
,inscribed upon the Republican banner

Relief Laws.

AS one Of the old settlers. deeply in
tcrested in the affairs Of tine State, we
rejoice in the passage, by our legisla-
ture, Of the various relief laws, during
its preseRt session. They are demanded
by the extraordinary exigencies Of the
timss. Under ordinary circumstances,
and in ordinary times, they would not
be needed. The people could get along
and would do so, without Legislative ia
vors. Nor do we believe the legislature
would have dreamed Of the Redemption
law, or the Appraisement law, but for
the almost universal voice of the State
demanding some such measures at their
hands. The entire community were
irretrievably involved by the late sudden
and unexpected financial crisis Of the
country. Our people saw no way of
ever extricating themselves from debt,
under existing laws. 1t is true, there was
absolutely none for them. They saw
ruin, and ordy ruin, before them. They
needes, time and a human chance of
working their way out. The Supreme
Court, on the interest question, and the
Legislature, by its relief laws, have
given them both. The beneficial effect
ofthese will now be seen et9
First of all, these acts of the Court
and of the Legislature, will inspire, in
all classes of people, fresh courage and
renewed activity. This is euerything in
a country as yet undeveloped. Cour-
age, energy, and industry alo=e can
develope its resources, and give it pros
perity. Without these, the fertility ol
our soil. all our marvellous natural ad-
vantages, avail us nothing Ours is
emphatically an agricultural State. We
must rely upon the industrial class fol
our prosperity But it is this class upon
which the blow of financial adyersit,
has, for the most part, fallen. The
people needed less rate of interest,"
lhas been given them. They needed ,
title time to raise from the soil th'
means with which to meet their jus
debts--it has been given them. They
needed to be relieved iron: the constan
fear, that, at any moment, their al
might be swept from them by suddei
legal process, in spite of their best in
tentions and best endeavors to NEE,
their obligations--this has been done
They needed new courage, new hopes
and new prospects-they have allan,
animated by them, will engage in th
springs work with zest and spirit.

Il
Mr.. EDITOR :-You will allow me,
: with The promise of being brief, short
space in your columns TO reply to your
correspondent, South Side," and his
favorite candidate, Gov Wise.
Now, s' South Sides" candidate,
have no doubt, is a l" fine old Virginia
gentleman. / like his determination of
character, his ayowed craftsmanship,
and | agree that he makes very good
Governor, but am of the opinion that
his disunion sentiments totally unfit him
to preside over the destinies oft the whole
Union. But this far 6 South Side" and
myself will agree, that if it should please
the Almighty Dispenser of all things, in
his righteous judgment, in view of the
iniquities of the people, and the many
transgressions of His commands by the
Nation, during the past three years, to
again scourge US with a Democratic Ad-
ministration, in order that, through
afiiction, we nigh: again turn to Him,
| say let us have Gov. Wise for Presi-
dent but knowing that His mercy en-
dureth forever. | feel confident that such
calamity will not soon again come
upon US.
Charles j. Faulkner said at Demo-
cratic meeting, held in Virginia, that
'swhen that noble and gallant son cr
Virginia, Henry A Wise. declared os
ne sald he did III October 1856, that if
Fremont should be elected, he ,vould
seize the national .4rs, nal al Harpe,'s
Ferru, how few would at that time have
justified so bold and decided mea-
sure 20
Here is s',South Sides" candidate
anticipating John Brown in his attack
on Harper's Ferry and if he had come
out with his threats, would he not have
received John Browns punishment ?
and thus left "South Side" without a
candidate.
But the Richmond Enquirer, the lead
ing democratic organ South Of the Po-
tomac. after the election was over,
naiyely announced to the victims of this
disunion panic, that Gov. Wise threat
ened to dissolve the Union only to save
| the Union" Now "Sou...n. Side is
this honest 1t may be honest, but l
hardly think it fair to scare us so, and
then, when the danger is past, to laugh
at our fear, and say Z" was only in fun. "
But the most ridiculous OF all is, that he
and his friends should try it again on
the eve of this election. Are they SO
foolish as to imagine for moment that
there breathes man in the free States
who would hesitate for an instant, to de-
posit his vote for the man Of his choice
for President, let him be who he will,
on account of those disur ion threats
No, South Side," l believe there is
not man whose vote can be influenced
by these menaces. If such there be,
he is unworthy the name of freeman.
And "South Side" may rest assured
that the majority will elect their man,
and think the Republican party is the
majority but Notwithstanding the as
surance g South Side" gives that he will
beat US again, "we will be better able
to tell who is Governor after election. J"
But let who will be elected, the " Union
shall and will be preserved.
