In the year 1926, says a writer in the
Washington Union, after all, save one, of the
band of patriots whose signatures are borne
on the Declaration of Independence, had de-
scended to the tomb, and the venerable Car.
roll alone remained among the living, the
government of the city of New York deputed
a committee to wait on the illustrious survivor
and obtain from him, for deposit in the pub
lie hall of the city, a copy OF the Declaration
of 1116, graced and authenticated anew with
his sign manual The aged patriot yielded
to the request, and affixed with his own hand
to copy OF the instrument the grateful,
solemn and pious supplementary declaration.
which follows
.'Grateful to Almighty God for the bless
ings which, through Jesus Christ our Lord,
He has conferred on my beloved country in
her emancipation, and in permitting me, un.
der circumstances OF mercy, to live to the age
of eighty nine years, and to survive the ff-
tieth year of American Independence, adopt.
ed by Congress on the 4th of July, 1776,
which | originally subscribed on the second
day of August, of the same year, and Of
which am now the only surviving signer,
do hereby recommend to the present and fu-
ture generations the principles of that impor-
tant document as the best inheritance their
ancestors could bequeath to them, and pray
that the civil and religious liberties they have
secured to my country may be perpetuated
to remotest posterity, and extended to the
whole posterity Of men,"

According to the report in the Benton Alb
ridgment of Debates, Henry Clay thus spoke
in 1850 respecting Rhett, of South Carolina
who figures SO prominently in the secession
movement:
Mr.. PRESIDENT said nothing with respect
to the character of Rhett, for might as well
name him. But if he pronounced senti-
ment attributed to him, of raising the stan
dard of disunion and resistance to the COM
mon Government, whatever he has been, if
he follows up the declaration by correspond
ing overt acts, he will be a traitor, and /
hope he ,cM meet the .tate Of a traitor. Great
applause in the galleries, with difficulty sup
pressed by the Chair.
Mr., Clay resumedlI have heard with
pain and regret confirmation of the remark
| have made that the sentiment of disunion
is becoming familiar. hope it is confined
to South Carolina. do not regard as my
duty what the honorable Senator seems to re.
gard as his. If Kentucky tomorrow unfurls
the banner of resistance, l never will fight
under that banner. owe paramount al
legiance TO the whole Union-a subordinate

Mirror, of Monday, says;
The right of States to withdraw from the
Confederacy, and the policy of coercion un-
der any or existing circumstances. are ques-
tions past consideration nor. The assault
has been made, and the national honor de-
mands that the treason which prompted it be
crushed out. Since the South has refused
the olive she must take the sword.
Let the General government be apprised at
once that the States Of the Pacific may be re-
lied upon. 1t will relieve the Administra-
ton OF the misapprehension engendered by
the treason of Burch and Lane, and better
enable it to cope with rebellion where it ac.
tually exists. We would suggest that the
Legislature offer the Government the aid of
ten or twenty thousand Of the stontest arms
and hearts that ever welded a weapon either
to march to the East or man its defence here,
and as much money as the credit Of the State
is worth The men Will not be required,
except it be for the latter service; but the
offer will be received with joy by the Govern
ment, as an Indication of the loyalty Of our
people. and exercise a moral influence equal
in effect to the force of a hundred thousand

Grape culture-wine Growing.

The soils of our foothills are admirably
adapted to the growth Of the vine, which at
tains to vigor and luxurianee scarcely ex-
celled in any portion of our gold and wine
producing State. The quantity of land suit
able to the cultivation of the vine, in this
county, is almost incalculable, and the ex-
tensive planting this spring, together with the
preparations that are in progress to increase
the area in the future, are sure evidence that
our ranchmen appreciate the fact, and of our
annually increasing prosperity.
The wine producing districts of Ohio, Mis-
souri,, Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin cannot
by any parity of reasoning be compared with
the soil and climate of our State, yet the an
nual production of wine in the Western
States is estimated at two million gallons.
All that our wines require is age to render
them superior to the same foreign grades,
with this very important merit IN their be-
half, viz: that they are free from drugs, or
deleterious combinations of any kind.
Owing to the extensive demand in recent
years for native wines, its price is at present
higher than it will be when the grape is more
extensively cultivated. At present prices,
wine making is one Of the most profitable
occupations connected with the culture of the
SOIL With us it requires little care or atten-
ton, and yet it yields rich result.
In the production of native wines we are
all Interested When these can be produced
in sufficient quantities, they will drive from
the market those vile productions that now
''steal away mems brains" In the wine
producing districts of Europe, where the ar
tcle is Obtained cheap, isolated cases of in-
toxcation very seldom exist.
Mr.. Jones, of Lower Springs, has manu-
factured sixty gallons of excellent wine, from
the vintage of last fall, a specimen of which
he presented to DIR. Bates, of this town, and
which we had the pleasure of examining, and
found it very little inferior, if any, to the
same variety of the Los Angeles vineyards.

To those here who complain of unnecessary

in this State thousands who are devotedly at
tached TO the Constitution and the laws of the
country who adore its flag, who are proud
of its glorious history, who cherish with the
warmest regards its institutions and who are
anxious to have them perpetuated. These
millions see others industriously engaged,
without cause, in the unhallowed work of
overthrowing and destroying all that they
hold dear and sacred. and, of course, they
are provoked, and justly so, into utterance
of severe condemnation of the conduct of the
revoluiionists Union men cannot be expect

those who sympathise with secessionists, to
