The fact that so many wcll-known Republican tra-

principle is North. have taken this would-bc.Unon

Abolition prints to laugh ut and abuse them. II we
supposed the mccting-mongers were sincere; if we
thought they all, or even great part Of them had
national sympathy, we should withhold our censre as
surely We sanction the principle and prctelce Of
these Union meetings But the present one is to all
ineutS and purposes sham. How can men who hold
Frecsoil views denOucc tie action of practical Black
Republicans? We have some sort OF respect for the

ABOUT CoRNED BEEF.-Oorned beef, properly
salted, and cooked as it should be, is q dish fit
for the sovereign people; but to eat salt junk,
such as too often exercise the muscle of the jaws,
is penance even for maefactor. Most of the
beef put for Winter use, is spoiled by the use
of too much salt, which destroys the flavor, and
makes the meat strlngy and tough. When beet
is fresh it contains blood, which is drawn out by
the brine. If the meat is left in this mixture, it
will require a much larger quantity of salt to
preserve it, particularly through warm weather.
My plan is to make brine by using for one hun
dred pounds of beef, five pounds of salt, one
quarter ounce OF salt-petre, and a pound of brown
sugar. This is dissolved in just enough water
to cover the meat, and poured upon il. When
it has been in this brine two weeks, take out
the meat, let it drain, pour fresh brine over it,
and then it will be good, the season through.
The cook who uses corned beet, should not be
so ignorant or so indolent as to delay putting it
oyer the fire until an hour before dinner. A
good sized piece requires three or four hours
steady boiling to do it justice. Insufficient boil
ing must be made up for By extra chewing
Always have the water boiling when the meat
is dropped in; otherwise the sweetness will be
drawn out into the water. A boiling heat hard
ems the outer surface at once, and thus keeps in
the juices which give richness, and which con-
tain most of the nourishment. An excellent
way Of cooking corned beet-is, to have large
boiler with a wire or wooden rack on the bot
tom, for the meat to rest on, over the water. -
When the water boils, place the meat upon the
rack, and put on the cover Of the boiler, with a
cloth over it, to keep in the steam. The heat
.of the steam will rise above the boiling point,
and penetrate the meat, and cook it more quickly
and better than could be done by boiling in the
water.
