now disuniopist, wrote as follows, in a
poem entitled " Disunion, published in

From the league of the proud and the free
And scperate, ideal sovereignty claim,

Ere Freedom, convulsed with one terrible spasm
Desert you forever and ayel

And the thunder of war through your valleys rolls

In the deepest abyss of dishonor and shame

Pulled down what their foreflthcrs built,
And tainted the blood in their chdren's young veins

For your folly and fall more discouraged and cold.

PACKING BUTTER.

MEssRs EDITORS IL cheerfully com.
ply with your request in giving such in
formation in relation to packing and keep.
ing butter through the summer season as
am competent to do, giving you the meth
cd that has proved to be the most success
full with US:
1. In the first place you ask in regard
to the churning we use dog power, hav-
ing the temperature in warm weather about
IS degrees Fab, which gives the butter q
good solid consistency.
2. When the butter comes, it is remov.
ed and washed with cold ice water until
the butermilk is all removed.
3. 1t is then salted, about one ounce of
salt to pound of butter, worked in thor
oughly, and set in a cool place for twenty
four hours, when it is worked, just sufficient
to remove all the buttermilk.
4, 1t is then packed in the frkin, and
covered tight so as to exclude the air.
5. When the 6rkin is filed, then put q
cloth over tho butter, put on good cover
ing of salt, and then pour on water, which
makes brine. We keep it thus covered
until it goes to market, it being the only
way we could ever keep dairy perfectly
sweet through the season.
These rules strictly observed, Twill war
rant never to fail, if the butter is properly
made.
We use good white oak frkins. Before
putting in the butter fll the frkins with
cold water to soak three or four days.
A basdful of salt thrown in will make
them all the better. When we get ready
to put the butter in the frkin, we rub the
insdes all over thoroughly with salt, which
forms brine between the frkin and but
ter.
All the salt used about butter in sny
form should be good dairy salt.
Good soft water is also essential, as hard
limy water is very Objectionable.
If what I have written in this short let
ter is not sufficiently compreh hensivc, let
me know and will give you a more COM
prehcnsive and detailed statement with re-
gard to any particulars that you may wish
to inquire about as it always affords me
pleasure to communicate to others anything
in the line of agricultural pursuits that may
be advantageous to them.-John Shanuck

GATHERING AND KEEPING APPLIES
In order to secure soundncss and preser-
vation, tits indispensably necessary that
the fruit should be gathered by hand.-
For winter fruit the gathering is delayed
as long as possible, avoiding severe frosts,
and the most successful practice with our
extensive orchardists is to place the good
fruit directly in careful manner, in new,
tight -four barrels, as soon as gathered
from the tree. These barrels should be
gently shaken while filling, and the head
closely pressed in; they are then placed
in cool, shady exposure under shed
open to the air, or on the north side of
building, protected by covering of boards
over the top, where they remain for
fortnight, or until the cold becomes too Sc
we're when they are carefully transferred
to cool, dry cellar, in which air can be
admitted occasionally in brisk weather.
A cellar for this purpose, should be dug
in dry gravelly or sandy soil with ifpos-
siple slope to the north, or, at any rate,
with openings on the north side for the ad-
mission of air very rarely in weather not
excessively cold. Here the barrels should
be placed on tiers on their sides, and the
cellar should be kept as dark as possible.
In such cellar, one of the largest apple
growers in Duchess county is able to keep
the Greening apple, which, in the fruit
room usually decays in January until the
first of April, in the freshest and finest
condition. Some persons place layer of
clean rye straw between every layer of
apples, when packing them in barrels.

SOWING GRASS SEED TnIcKLY.-An
aged farmer of Pennsylvania, in letter
to the American Agricuhuria, says /:
"After nearly fifty years of experience
and observation, among my neighbors and
elsewhere, 1 am convinced that too little
grass seed is sown. Here / see a field
with only half plants enongh growing;
would not double quantity of seed ave
filed up the gaps! The cost of the seed
was 60 cents per acre. Another 90 cents
worth of seed would have made this years

while it is now only worth SO, never

too thin on hundreds of fields. Formerly

The Republican Fracas.

The proceedings ofthe Republican Con :
vention, under the false head of Union
Convention," appear in another column
to-day. This affair was gotten up by a
few hungry Republicans and Office seekers,
as the proceedings show from beginning
to end, and it will be looked upon by the
masses as one among the many dishono-
rable tricks of the Republican party
This Republican Convention ominated
William A. Mason, formerly Democrat
and William Colley for Associate j Judges !;
John NJ Heacock for Treasurer; Antho-
ny Kilmer for Commissioner David Mol
yneux for Auditor.
As to these men, some of them are
quite respectable personally, but none of
them are peculiarly qualified for the posi-
tions for which they are named, and with
one or two exceptions are old office, hunters,
who have been boring the public for years
past. Let the people of Sullivan county
shun this Union track of the opposition,
and rally to the support of the entire Dem
ocratic ticket, which is composed of honest
and true Union men, and men who are in
every particular qualified to represent our
people, and who are worthy of their most
cordial support.-SulI,uan County Demo-

SATURDAY MORNING, OCTOBER S, 1861.
From the Suliiran County Democrat,
Democratic Mass Meeting.
AN IMMENSE GATHERING.

Pursuant to previous notice Demo
cratic Mass Meeting assembled at the
Court House, in Laporte, on Tuesday
evening, the Gath instant.
The meeting having been called to or.
der, on motion, GEORGE D. JACKSON
was nominated and elected President !;
MICHAEL MEYLERT, f. s. BAUMGART-
NER, JOHN MULLAN, JOHN SIMMONS,
and WILLIAM EVANS, Vice Presidents ;
C. II. Keele' and Thomas GarraNas, Sec.
retaries
After the organization, on motion, James
Deegan, G. G. Finch, and Morris Murphey
were appointed Committee to invite
speakers to address the meeting.
After short absence the Committee
introduced Col. John G.. Freeze, of Co.
lumbia county, who is certainly most
excellent speaker. In clear, forcible
manner he spoke on questions concerning
the state of the country, the duty of Dem
ocrats to stand by the Government as
they always have done, and maintain their
organization. He was constantly cheercd
and applauded, and his speech gave un-
bounded satisfaction to the immense gath
cring.
A. j. Deitrick, Esq, of Lycoming
county, was next called up. He discussed
the issues of the day, exposing the sophis-
tries of The Republicans, in speech of
great power, amid continuous applause.
Col. Levi L. Tate, one of our nominees
for Representative, followed in a speech
that was decidedly able, vindicating the
Democratic party clearly and fully in cv.
cry particular, in which it had recently
been attacked, and proving his patriotism
and loyalty so clearly that the most doubt
ing could not help but believe. He was
constantly applauded and took his seat
amid deafening cheers.
George d. jackson, Esq, was next
called upon. He responded and his re-
marks was replete with sound logic and
clearly expressed truths, as usual His
defence of the policy of the Democratic
party, and of its candidates, was able and
conclusive, and his complete exposition of
the trickery, management and humbug of
the Republican party, was a mastery ex-
posure of as cunning and daring scheme
of duplicity as was ever attempted to be
palmcd upon an honorable people. He
was constantly and rapturously applauded,
which shows evidence that the people of
Sullivan county will not be misled by this
scurrilous " Union" trick of the Republi
cans.
The evening having grown late, three
cheers were given for the Democratic tick
ct, and three cheers for the Union and the
Constitution after which the meeting ad.
journed in the highest mood that we ever
knew one to adjourn.
The utmost enthusiasm prevailed through
out all the proceedings, and those who
were not there missed one of the richest
political feasts to which men were ever
invited.
