Notwithstanding the late defeats Of
The De,nocratic forces in the late elect
ions of several States in the Union, and
notwithstanding the. bitter disapPont
ments incurred thereby, we cannot see
the necessity or se--or what Is to be
gained by rcpiniug at future prospects
or grumbIing over what has past and
cannot be helped. 1t well enough 'h'
deed it i, very necessary that the causes
which bring about defeat should be IT.
CURED into searchingly, BIT with no 9TH
er purposes or design than that OF as
cer,aining precisely where the evil lays
that the remedy may be applied. Hunt
ing after subject to grumblc about, or
some person to complain Of. will never
mend matters in the least, but, on the
contrary, will have the adverse effect to
widen the breach between us aud sue
cess, and multiply the difficulties in OBJ
tanning victories in the future. If we
would be successful in the future, and
keep the proud folds Of our banner from
trailing in the dust, we must be &C
tive, vgilant, aud untiring in our iabors
looking forward instead of backward,
leaving the dead to bury their dead !;
perfecting organization and closing up
the gap between the factions, There is
much to forget with respect to personal
animosltics, aud many breaches to be
filled-much work to be done on all
hands.
We believe it to be the duty of the
Democracy and the conservative men at
the North to organize their forces, and
with firm determination to stand by
the Union and the Constitution. Moth
ing can be done as long as the party is
divided much can be done with unity
of action. Indeed, we must look to uni
ty of action and strength before we look
for victory. This is fact which must
be looked seriously in the face. Perhaps
the time has passed in which to accom-
plsh anything during the pending elect
ion, but after this election is over the
work of fusion must 60 on. 1t either
must or else we NAV dismiss all hopes OF
victory.
Let us look to this matter then-let us
work for it ; work unce asingly work fol-
the good of the party work for its
union all over the country. Let the
people forget the past-as a matter which
cannot now be helped and 90 to work
for the future success of the great Dem
ocratlc party. Stop grumbling stop
carrying the war Of determination into
our own ranks, and inaugurate wal
upon the opposition. United we stand
divided we fall. Take courage. buckle
on the amor and 60 to work bravely
and with determination.

Notwithstanding, in the recent State
election in Pennsylvania, the Democra-
cy were defeated by some seventeen
thousand, we gain largely on the vote OF
1858, when the Republicans carried the
Congressman by an aggregate majority
of about fifty thousand. Pennsy Ivania
is not at all a reliable State. Fortwen-
ty years past it has constantly vibrated
between the two great parties.
In 1910, Harrison carried it over Van
Buren, by $40 majority.
Ia 1874, Polk carried it over CLAY by
6,332. Birney polled 3,l3s votes.
la lS4S, Taylor carried it over Cass

votes, leaving TayIor's majority 3,o74.
In 1852, Pierce beat Scott by Il, 1874
Hale, Abolitionist, polling 1925 votes.

over Fremont by the great plurality OF

votes and there were 1l9 scattering.

While the average and total yield OF
the wheat crop IN the above States have
been advancing, they have falien OFT IN
the States TO the east Of us, and Ohio,
which produced in one yeer 2s,OOO,O 200
bushels, and sixteen bushels to the acre,
has fallen of III til her entire crop will
not exceed 100000. The same, bu:
to greater extent,ls the case with New
York and Pennsy lvania. In fact, the
Northwest has become the granary OF
the Union, as che will to great extent
In time be that OF the world.
The cost OF raising wheat, including
interest on the and, in the Northwest
ern States, is about 50 per acre. This,
with a yield of eighteen bushels, would
make tue cost of the wheat to the far
mer, at barely living price, SO cents
per bashel. With yield Of twenty
eight bushels, the cost would be reduced
to about IS cents per bushel. The price
Of wheat at the farmers market 10 the
Northwest will not average as low as 81
cents. The crop OF 1860 has thus tar
yielded the farmer al his door IS cents
per busheI. No crop is more certain or
peasanter of cultivation. -Four tiiths OF
the entire crop of the great States emu
merated above is spring or summer
wheat, and the best OF it IS nearly equal
to common red winter.

To KEEP CABBAGEs.-The editor of
the Germantown Telegraph gives the
following as his mode Of having green
cabbage all Winter:
Dig shallow trenches in a dry part OF
the garden-say two feet apart-in
which plant the cabbages, which must
be carefully taken from the bed with all
the roots, pretty closely; then erect
over them low scafolding, the posts
being two feet from the ground. Let
it be little higher in the middle, to car
ry of the water and cover with straw or
corn fodder, butts down. This costs
little labor or skill, and will give you
cabbage through the Winter and Spring
about as fresh and good as in October.

We notice that the papers iu variou,
sections of the United States are proper
y pitching into the absurdity and hum
bugging practiced both in awarding and
making up the premium lists at State
and County Fairs. Even in our own
State we have Ssen too much Of this
thing. We have seen the noblest agri-
cultural pursuits made secondary con-
siderations, while matters which should
rank lowest in the scale are advanced to
the highest consideration. 1t is very
wrong indeed, and should not be. We
shall take occasion to refer to this mat
ter frequently ard more in detail
What We say now was induced by the
following article from the Madison
wis, Patriot, which remarks that
general dissatisfaction exists with regard
to some of the awards at the late State
Fair, IN consequence of placing persons
on the committees who knew little of
the matters on which they are to decide
The Patriot takes occasion, in the same
connection, to take exceptions to the
scale on which premiums are offered,
and the want of so1nd discretion dis
played in the relative Importance attach
ed to different objects i'll making up the
lists. 1t says:
Ten yards Of homemade flannel, received an
award Of 81, ahd a few cut flowers gathered
from cur city gardens, and not raised by the
exhibitor received several doiiars-S6O we're
awarded to equestrian displays, while but SIS
awarded the most skilful plou hing. Now, il
horaeback riding Is of much more interest
than ploughing, in agricultural point of
view, let farmers give up the latter, and edu-
cate their soLs and daugh,ere solely TO the uee
of the saddle These ars but few Of the er
roneous awards which have given rise to CON-
plant. Trey are such as we would guard
against in future Fairs and We deem it good
time nov to talk over the matter, that the
cause of co,npla ut may rot rise again.
Here is food for those whose duty it is
to get up premium lists. Encourage
the useful in preference to anything
else-but at the same time let not the
beautiful and artistic be made the sub
ject OF any encouragement.
