The SECESSION OF THE DEMOCRATIC STATES
FROM The CHARLESTON CoNvENTIoN No reader
Of the Star, we presume, was unprepared for the
result of the proceedings of the Charleston Con-
vention up to last evening, as announced in the
papers Of this morning, and fully set forth in this
issue Of our own journal
From the moment when the delegations from
the states from which no one can reasonably
anticipate a Democratic electoral vote in Noyem-
Der, eVlnced determination to force upon the
Democratic States platform and candidate
ooth intensely rePugnant to the latter because
both fraught II accepted, with most immi neut
danger to the rights of co-equality the Union of
these States it has been clear that there We're but
two possible solutions of the difficulty Viz: that
which has occurred, or, on the other hand, the
abandonment of their position ON the part of the
anh-Democratic- States delegations
Inc grave mistake made by the latter has been
in deceiving themselves with the belief that the
opposition Of the South and others to Mr. Douglas
and 'squatter soyereig nty,' was a personal sent-
ment, rather than one founded on deep-seated
principle, and a determination that the Demo-
cratic party shall continue to maintain intact all
the rights Of all the States as guaranteed by the
Constitution "a.
Perhaps Mr.. Douglas and his Northern sup
poFters owe most to their plumber mongering
DOe'HeiH ohISs IOI tne really In0rtfying position
N which they find themselves-repudiated by
the Democracy Of every Democratic State of the
Inio1. Those unnatural allies of theirs led
them into the error of believing that the great
mass oil the South Were as totally without prin-
clple In politics as themselves; or were to be
frightened Into the course of taking a candidate
Justly as obnoxious to the South as Mr. Seward .
on platform las that candidate avows be inter
prets it, fraught with far more danger to the
future Of the rights Of the slaveholding States
than the success Of any Republican party NOM
inee on any Republican party platform possibly
can De. Severely has Mr.. Douglas already
PAID for placing confidence in those allies-as
the exodus Of the Democratic States from the
Convention places him completely without
the party, as though declining to contest the
nomination at Charleston, he had accepted the
advice urged OH him by so many of his Northern
friends, To contend, rather for the Chicago nomi-
nation.
We assume above that the whole of the Demo-
cratic States have left the Convention of which
fact we can entertain little doubt insomuch as we
are aware that at p. m. yesterday Mr. Hunter
ADVISED the Virginia delegation, per telegraph, to
make the South unit !" and ALSO that General

The Constitution, Speaking Of the Charleston
Convention, says:
w 6stever fault may be found with the Ma
ronal democratic Convention, their deli berations
Prove, at least that they represent party of prn-
ciple, OF Independence, and Of patriotism The
old hackneyed fling Of our enemies that the de-

buried forever. Whatever else may be said, the
assertion that the democracy ARE held together by
the cohesive power Of the plumber Of the public

Are Your Cattle Healthy3

The following hints, for the benefit
of cattle and their owners, are worthy
of attention. Especial heed to the
hints about food and water will profit
many farmers, who though not natural
Iy inhuman, often treat their stock most
outrageously, either through careless
ness or indifference:
Mix, occasionally, one part of salt
with flour, FIVE or six parts of wood
ashes and give the mixture to different
kinds of stock, summer and winter. 1t
promotes their appetite, and tends to
keep them in healthy condition. 1t
is said to be good against bots in
horses, murrain in cattle and not in
sheep.
Horse-radish root is valuable for cat
tie. 1t creates an appetite, and is good
for various diseases. Some give it to
any animal that is unwell. 1t is good
for oxen troubled with the heat. II
animals will not eat it voluntarily cut
It fine and mix with potatoes or meal.
Feed all animals regularly. They
only look for it at the usual time, but
the stomach indicates the want of it at
the proper period. Therefore, feed
morning, noon and evening, as near the
same time as possible.
Guard against the wide and injurious
extremes of satiating with excess and
starving with want. Food should be
of suitable quality, and proportional
to the growth and fattening of an
imals to their production in young and
milk, and to their labor and exercise
Animals that work need more food and
that which is more nutritious than those
that are idle.
In dry time see that animals have
sgood supply of water. When foun
tains are low they drink the drainage
Of streams and passages of water which
are unwholesome.

Remedy for Short Pastures.

Those who have but limited range
Of pasture, and keep stock enough to
crop it well, are almost at the mercy of
the weather. If, there chance to be
favoring rains, and clover, all is well !;
but if, as frequently occurs, there comes
q long period of drouth, the Drowned
fields already closely cropped, suffer
severely, having little to protect the
roots from the full power of the sun,
and the cattle suffer vet more. The
milk pals show serious diminution,
the dairying profits shrink, and the
stock fall off when they should be gain
ing A severe check of this kind will
be felt too throughout the season, for
much of the pasture may be Summer
killed., and the full flow of milk can
hardly be regained. This may be
guarded against by putting in a small
plot OF corn, sorghum, millet, or suita-
bic crop for cutting and feeding green.
An acre of corn sown broadcast
will very soon yield sufficient to give
great relief to the short pasture. tits
not necessary to stable the COWS; cut a
good supply for them, and feed night
and morning before theyleave the yard;
they viii eat it with a relish. and make
ample returns in the milk pans and the
shurn- Even if the threatened drouth
should not come, and abundance OF
grass should grow, the soiling crop
need not be lost. sCut at the proner
season, and properly cured, it will not
come amiss next winter.-Americau
