no the Peonla OF Ohio.

The undersigned, deeply sensiblo Of the dtn-
gers now hanging over our National GotcIn-
ment and impressed with the conviction that
they only can be ayerted BY the United actiun
OF the whole people, in which putriotism shall
take the place Of party spirit, respectfully and
earnestly call upon all loyai citizens Of Ohio,
who are in favor of the maintenance Of the Cav
ernment, and Of the vigorous and continued
prosecution Of the war now carried on for the
suppression Of the rebellion against the Govern
ment, to meet and appoint delegates to I'M
ION CONVENTION to be held in the city Of
Columbus on THURSDAY the FIFTH OF
SEPTEMBER next, for the nomination Of can
didates for the different State Offices which are
10 be filed at the general election in October, to
wit: The offices Of Governor, Lieutenant- Gov
ernor, Judge of the Supreme Court, Comptroll-
er, Treasurer, Secretary of State and one mem-
Der of the Board Of Public Works.
To save further trouble in arranging the de-
tais OF this important movement, we suggest
that the Convention consist of one delegate for
each thousand Of the aggregate vote cast in each
county Tor Supreme Judge at the last election,
with one additional delegate for each surplus
half Of the ratio; varying this apportionment,
however, so as to secure not less than two dele
gates from every county and an even number
from all. Under this apportionment the follow
ing counties will be entitled to delegates thus:

sen by county conventions to be held on Satur-
day, the 31st of August.
FELLOW Citizens OF OHIo:--Shall the Gov
ernment be preserved3 is now the all absorbing
question, and the only one worthy of the con-
sideraton Of the American people. We feel
that no heightened appeal is necessary TO ami
mate you to the discharge Of your duty in rela-
ton to it. We feel assured thata respect for the
memory of your fathers who secured for you
the blessings of free institutions sense Of the
obligations resting upon you as the heretofore
peaceful possessors of those blessings, and
proper regard for those to whom you hope to
transmit them, will be sufficient TO impel you TO
declare with no doubtful voice, your unchange-
able determination that the Government shall
not be broken up.
Compared with the interests involved with
the great question all other interests are of but
little importance. Ifthe Government which es-
tablishes and maintains social order is forever to
exist at the mercy of caprice or disappointed
ambition, there is but little of all that we now
enjoy that will not in the loss of its stability,
lose its value. Shall it be said that we have
neglected, or put in peril the proper settlement
of this question by our party differeneesp These
are now of but little moment They are rGere
shadows to allure us from the pursuit Of the
substance. Without value, nay, disgraeeful
alike to victor and vanquished will be those tri.
umphs of party which are. celebrated over the
ruins of dismembered Government.

speech of GeneraI wool.

Major-General Wool arrived in Now York
on the 18th, on his way to Fortress Mon
roe. He was serenaded at the st. Nicholas
in the evening, and in response to the shouts
of the immense crowd assembled appeared
on the balcony. He was greeted with en-
thusiastic cheers, and the veteran General
said:
FELLOW CITIZENS: thank you for this
unexpected honor. Nothing is more graft
flying to soldiers feelings than the good
opinion of his fellow-c citizens. l do not,
however, regard it merely as compliment
personly to myself, but on behalf of my
country, my bleeding country, which is now
coutending for the most precious rights
But yesterday we were great people, COM
manding the admiration of the world, with
an empire extending from the frozen regions
of the North to the tropical regions Of the
South, and with population Of more thar
thirty-one millions, enjoying a prosperity
unparalleled in the history of nations. Every
city and hamlet was growing rich, and none
so much as those at the South.
But this is not so to-day. And for what
reasonG For nothing under Gods heaven
but because the South wants to extend the
area of Slavery, Nothing else but that
The only question with you is whether yor
will support free speech, free government
free suffrage, or extend the area of Slavery
This was the happiest country on the fac,
of the globe few months since, with
government more kind than any other il
existence, where man could walk abroad il
his own majesty, and none to make hin
afraid. Never sacrifice that Government
but maintain it to the last. 1 thank you
gentlemen, for the honor you have done me
Great and long continued cbeeriug,1
The baud struck up the "Red, White an,
Blue" Asa pause was made in the music
cries were renewed for the appearace o
Gen. Wool, and in response he came for
ward and said:
Gentlemen, a few words more; though
am too hoarse to speak, have only TO sa
to you let US have liberty and union, th
whole Union, and nothing but the Unior
now and forever. Good night. fGres
cheers.

The PIrates DIscouraged.

The Philadelphia Press contains the fol-
lowing statement
"One of the most intelligent men rescued
from the Petrel says that it is ACKNOWLEDGED
now that they will soon be compelled to
entirely abandon their privateering scheme.
They have but very few vessels they can
fit out and all their attempts to do so are
much crippled by the want of proper ma
chinery; and even when they get to sea and
are successful, they can expect to reap but
little profit, because all foreign ports are
closed against them, and when they attempt
to send their prizes home, there is a strong
probability that they will be captured by
the cruisers of our government. He says
the crew of the JEFF. Davis intended, after
capturing few more prizes, and sending
them home as best they could, to run their
ship ashore somewhere on the coast Of
British America, and endeavor to reach the
South overland. He thinks the Sumter
returned to Berwick bay, near New Orleans,
with the arms from Bamberg, aud it is
doubtful whether she will again venture
upon the ocean"

Modern Democracy VS.. Jackson DcmOe-


raey.
One of the planks in the platform of the
so-called Democratic Convention which met
at Columbus the other day, was resolu-
ton declaring that
"The privilege Of the writ of habeGs cor
ous is one of the great bulwarks of freedom,
and that no citizen can be legally deprived
OF the benefits thereof, except By Congress"
Many of our readers will remember the
time when Ohio Democratic State Couven-
tions, under the lead of some Of the same
politicians who dictated that resolution.
were applauding Gen. jackson for having,
as commanding General at New Orleans,
not only suspended the writ of ha6eas cor
pus, but arrested and confined the judge
who issued it! They will also remember
the round censure which the Wings in Con-
gress received because they would not vote
to refund the fne imposed upon Gen. Jack
son for his course in this matter.
The uninitiated may be surprised that
men who used to rank Gen. Jackson among
the apostles of Democracy, should now be
passing resolutions charging him with il
legally breaking down tone of the great
bulwarks of freedom;" but when it is recol-
lected that this charge comes from the same
Democrats who also repudiate the noble
sentiment-"The Federal Union, IL must
be preserVed"--the noblest that Andrew
Jackson ever expressed-and insult bis
memory by proposing compromise with
men whom he would have "hung as high
as Haman," the surprise will be less.
The spirit of jackson Democracy was
notat Columbus; it departed from the gath
ering, and its place was taken by the spirit
of Calhoun Democracy, and such Demo
Gratis as follow the politians who composed
that meeting are now being used to sustain
the very doctrines which Calhoun attempt
ed to put in operation in the rebellion o.
1882, and against which Gen. Jackson, with
the aid of Democrats and Wings without
distinction ofparty, arayed the whole pow
er of the government
1t remains to be seen whose principles
and policy have the strongest hold on the
Democrats of Ohio-those of Jackson or OF
Calhoun. Toledo Blade.

dickens on PrivateerinT,

Dickens thus holds forth in his weekly paper:
"Can we wonder at the general exclamation Of
horror which arose in England when it was re-
ported that the Southern States were about to
let fly their privateers at the North2"
Whom will they getf The patriot-the honest
the merciful--the braveI No; the thieving
slave-hunter-the runaway convict-the swim
dler,-the murderer,-the Seven Deadly
Sins for officers, all the passions for crew, the
Apollyon himself for sailing master" =
"The motive of priyateersman is plunder He
comes out to steal-to fight and steal-but not
to fight If he cannot steal, The privateersman
is the common enemy Of mankind as the pirate
is, and he should be treated as such, and hanged
by whomsoever can get rope on his neck
The laws OF God and msn are against him.

Parson RrownIow,

The telegraph brought news of the sup
preston of the Knoxville Whig few days
since, but the Parson still lives. The last
issue of his paper is full of the old grit
Brownlow with all bis eccentricties has a
fund of stern manhood which JEFF. Davis
can never crush out. He is out in long
farewell card, from which we clip the clos
ing paragraph. The Parsou dies game;
So far as we are concerned, we can sus.
pend our publication, in obedience to the
dictates of tyranny and intolerance-wc
will yield to the demands of an armed mob
turn over to them our Office and what
little property we have-depriye ourselves
and helpless family of small children Of
the necessary means of support-and beg
our bread from door to door among Union
men who are able to give--but we shall re-
fuse, most obstinately refuse, to the day of
our death, to think or speak favorbly of such
Confederacy as this, or to agree that hon.
or, patriotism, or love of country, has in,
Auenced the men at its head, who have
plunged the country into this revolution
And whether our humble voice is hushed

edited for almost quarter of a century, We

THE Whole STORY ToLD.-The London
Spectator has this paragraph under its head
ing of "News of the Week"
"The American Congress has voted the
men and the money required BY. the Presi-
dent, and twenty per cent more, aud the
House of Representatives has affirmed by
92 to 55 that it is mo part'of the duty Of
officers to capture fugitive slaves The
hand moves slowly on the dial, but it moves
and when the finger passes the hour, the
knell of Slavery will ring out with clang
which will startle Europe

ORIGIN or FRG,-A group Of savaGeS
living in a remote island have from time
immpmorial hcen in the habit Of employ
ing fire for warming themselves and in

that they can not rekindle it except from
another fire. They breed it as we breed
trees in our nurseries, The fact eff burn.
ing is no more a mystery to them than any
other natural fact; its phenomena are con
slant, determinabe beforehand, aud CON
trollablr, aud although they Cannot talk
abont carbon and oxygen as button using
sages talk, they practically know the laws
Of combustion. They know that fire i,
prolific and self developing; that it has its
little red seeds and in due time lis slender
buds, and broad waving corolla, like flow
er; that il loves air and hates water; that
it gives pleasure or pain according to the
way Of using it ; that il renders the flesh
Of the canine race still more acceptable than
their living presence, and even adds new
tenderness to the paterull relation, in case
Of premature bereavement. All this they
know. But if thry are asked where the
first fire came from, or how it was born,
they have no answer 10 render, or only an
idle story to tell. 1t wis the gift Of the
Great Spirit, or some tawny Prometheus
stole it from heaven. As for any mechan-
ism by which it can be produced, they are
entirely unable to suggest or conc i've it.
The wind, they know, fans a spark iuto Il
flame, bu! hey laugh at the ilea that the
wind should kindlr a fire without single
spark to begin with. AT length great
hurricane sweeps over Their island. It

AGRICULTURAL.
NIanuripg with the Hoe.

IT cnhiva,ors have followed the adSic
of the AgrjcuRmjst, their barn-yWds, sta
bles, pouliry-houses, wool-sheds, and every
other spot from which manure could be
gathered are now as clean as seraping
could make them, and the precious deposits
have been removed to the fields, 10 be man
ulactured into corn, potatoes and other pro-
duce. But many Of US are lacking yet
In breaking up q tcn-acre field for corn, for
Instance, one would scarcely think Of leav-
Ing two acres unemployed because he had
only manure enough to give it a thorough
dressing 10 eight acres; so the ierillzing
material is spread thinner and there is 20
per cent, less than there should be. know
the manure merchants advise TO make mp
this want by purchasing their compounds
but | don't know that it will pay as, Il Il
does them. Now propose plan which
have found to work well, which is, to ma
nure with the hoe. Frequent stirring Of
The soil, by keeping the surface loose and
porous, lets the air in more freely. Air
contains quite an amount Of carbon in the
form Of gas, and also little ammonia, both
of which you teach US, 90 to make up the
substance OF vegetables, and which are ex-
tracted from the soil by the roots. Then,
again, if the surface is kept open, the wa
ter from below will rise to supply the place
Of that eyaporated, and will bring with il
the matters which il has dissoy d, which
can also be taken up by the roots. In ai-
dition to this, every weed which has been
stealing nourislment from The soil, can be
made 10 give it back with interest, by hoe
ing it into the earth, where it will decay
and furnish plant food. So, if manure be
scarce, we can partly make it up by extra
cultivation. Corn in this section is usually
plowed and hoed twice, or three times if
the owner is NOT too busy would 90
through il FIVE or six times with horse
hoe. or cnltivator, and believe that each
time would add five bushels an acre to the
yield. OF course, as the roots extend, the
surface only should be stirred, so as not 10
injure them.--AmerieR Agricalu1fSt.

Weed the Wheat Fields.

IL this was done last year, the labor will
now be comparatively light; but l. it was
neglected, and foul seed was sown last Fall,
the neglect must now be paid for with com
pound interest. If time cannot be taken to
go through the whole field then mark out
the best add earliest tracts, and give them
especial care 20 procure choice, clean seed,
for the next crop. Choose a Time when the
ground is softened by recent rail-, take a
garden trowel or other convenient imple-
ment for weeds not readily pulled, and root
out every one that would rpen by harvest
time. Thistles, cookie, dock, aud many
other sorts are readily discerned-deal with
them thoroughly. Foreign journals com.
plain that mach Of the wheat so largely
exported from this country during the last
year, is mixed. with weed seeds, and they
very properly caution cultivators against
using such for seed. One sample was no
ticed containing large quantities of small
pink bodies, about the size of wheat kerr
nels, which proved to be bulbs Of the crow
garlic, (AHi,m rii,eale,) pestiferous weed,
as all dairymen know, who have pastures
infested with it. The faint impaired by it
to butter is insuffefable, and when, as in the
above instance, the bulbs are mixed with
wheat, the quality Of the -four made from
it is seriously impaired. See that none Of
this nuisance is allowed to remain in the
patch of seed wheat.
