more fruit the tree bears, the richer it is,
the more it is likely to attract the atten.
ton Of the thief. man that rises to
do his duty to his fellows, and lives to

To fertilize and improve his farm, ought
to be the prime temporal object Of ev-
cry owner of the substantial soil. All
national agrandizements, power, and
wealth, may be traced to agriculture as
its ultimate source. Commerce and ag
rculture are only subordinate results Of
this handspring. We consider agri-
culture as every way subsidiary not on

health, but to good morals, and ultimate
y even to religion itself" We shall al

always regard the American farmer,

his ground, as belonging to the order Of

The " UniOn'' Movement.

1t seems that the increasing fortunes
OF the Bell and Everett party in the
South has had a tendency to arouse the
slumbering faculties of its adherents
throughout the Union. Even out here
In Iowa, where few weeks since it was
not supposed there was the least POSSIBLE
ity of Union" movement, we are
stunned by the announcement that 9
State Convention ofthc Bell and Everett,
men has been called, and that in many
counties, meetings are being held te
choose Delegates to send to said Con.
ventlon. The idea OF the conservatives
Is to put straight b. & E. electoral
ticket in the field. That such a move.
ment will find goodly number Of
friends In Iowa, we make no doubt
There are probably several thousand
voters IN the State favorable to the con.
servatlve movement, and we predic,
that the Convention will be more gener
ally attended than was the bolter's Con
vcntlon in this city week ago.
We would suggest to the Bell and
Everett men Of Iowa that there is nc
use whatever in an Iowa Union electoral
ticket. 1t would be better far-and
much mere efiicacious, to meet at Iowa
S''y' ana make up your minds to vote
Tor Douglas in the coming campaign
by so doing the true cause of Union
Conservatism will be advanced, and it
may also be the direct means of the de.
ieat and death of the only party antap.
onistic to the Union-the abolitionized
Black Republican party.
