The Richmond Bagtrer Of Eovember2o
contains the report d the committee aP.
pointed by the virsia,a State cenvsntiOn'
to report on amendments to The sonstitu-
tion. The document is long and very Gu
rious. ~
Tue committee set out with an assertion
of the old distractions of the Virginia
school, and then proceed TO discuss the
amendments Which they deem essential 70
erect the State into an oligarchy. The
people, they say, must be disraacbised,
labor must be depressed, and free schools
abolished. We give some extracts from
the report below. Let freemen note the
progress of the rebellion:
EEBEL yIEws OF POLITICAL ECoSoNx.
Governments are instituted for the pcotec-
ton of the rights Of persons aud property;
aud any system must be radically defective
which does not give ample security to both.
The great interests of every community
may be ciassed under the heads of
labor and capital, and It is essential 70 the
we'll being OF society that the proper equtli-
brium should be established between these
important elements. The undue predomi-
nance Of either must, Eventually, prove
destructive of the social system. Capital
belongs to the few-labor to the many. In
those systems in which capital has the as
cendahcy, the government must, TO some
extent, Partake of the character of oligar-
cby, whilst in those in which labor is pre-
dominant, the tendency is to what Mr..
John Randolph graphically described IS
.ithe despotism OF king uumbers.2 Il is
the office of enlightened craftsmanship to
secure to each its appropriate influence,
bntto give the absolute control 70 neither.
THE RERELs THINK NoRIHERs LABOR TOO
POWERFUL
TIE political condition Of the Northern
States presents striking illustration of
the evils incident 70 the preponderanee of
the element of labor. In the early periods
of their history these evils were not SO ap-
parent as they have since become. Their
population was sparse, and the western ter
ritories afforded convenient outlet for
their restless citizens; properly was easily
acquired, and consequently the line of de-
marcatiou between labor and capital was
mot strictly drawn, because the laborer Of
to-day might readily become the capitalist
ofto-morrow. But within the last twenty
years marked change has taken place in
the North. Population has become dense,
and the safety-ralVe afforded by emigra-
ton TO the western territories has been
greatly obstrneted. Wages have not kept
pace with tho cost OF subsistence, and the
difficulty of acquiring property has great
~ increased. The tendency of this new
condition of things has been to divide So
ciety into two distinct classes, and to array
the one against the other.

Of our friends who have eaten tomatoes

pose very briefly to give our plan:
In the first place we are particular
about the seed; they should be saved
from the very first perfect tomato that
ripens. Then they should be started
early, in hot bed, or box kept in a warm
stove room with plenty Of light. When
the frost is out Of the ground and sufTi
ciently warm to transplant, put out the
plants, being careful to protect Of nights
and cold days as long as there is any
danger Of frost this can be done by
placing empty nail kegs, boxes, or two
boards thus A over the plants. by the
time it win do to turn them completely
out-of-dOors, they are beginning to bloom.
As soon as 8 or II healthy blossoms op-
/ pear, commence "pinehing;" don't allow
another shoot or blossom to grow until the
fruit commences to ripen; then you may
allow about as many more blossoms, bot
no more vine to grow. Keep the vine Of
the ground by allowing it to run over
lattice, or brush placed close around it.

OcAEA RALLOFss
In some locations in Illinois we have
seen some beautiful fencing, or hedging,
done with the Osier Willow When first
introduced into the United States a few
years ago from France, it was for its cul-
tivation as a basket willow. Yet, after
beingtested in many places in New York,
Pennsylvania New Jersey, and other
Eastern States, ithas been found to an
swer. remarkably well fer a 1--we fence.
And upon Inc prairies of Illinois, II has
made a growth Of five or six feet in a
single season. Its rapid growth, adapta-
ton to deep rich prairie soil, and per-
fecs hardness, with the very little care
required to form a barrier TO cattle or
hogs, must soon bring it into general use
by the farmers of Nebraska and the
prairie States, where the timber is scarce
and becoming more so every year.
The many different varieties of the
osier willow will grow in any well culti-
waited, rich upland, and as readily and
more vigorously on wet bottom. Its
cultivation is simple: Take cuttings ten
or twelve inches long, and set Ihem in a
well ploughed, straight row, as soon as
the frost is out of the ground leaving
but about two inches of the top out of the
ground, and set six inches apart. Should
the season be a dry one. mulch with par
TALLY decayed straw or litter of any kind.
The cuttings treated in this way will grow
about five feet the same season; and the
next spring should be cut off about six
inches above the earth. These;again the
next season will stool, and throw up thou
sand Of shoots, making a larger growth
than those of the previous year; to be
again partially cut back, and the next
season woven together, which makes a
fence that a rabbit can scarcely pene-
trate. The cuttings will each year well
pay the trouble Of pruning; while the
only actual cost is for the first cuttings

we will say, costs Twenty-Five centsPer ROD

Deep Flowing.

Mn. EDITOR: AS the object of the
Farmer is 10 afford tillers of the soil an
opportunity by, or medium through which
they may give each other the benefit of
experience in farming in the West, pro-
pose briefly to give the result Of an ac-
cidental experiment in blowing:
Last year I put two of my boys atwork
breaking up my corn ground. One a good
stout boy able to do mans work to
him I gave a strong heavy team, and he put
the plow in deep, turning up the soil from
below. The other boy, being small and
not able to Go heavy work, l gave n
light plow and team that he might the
more easily manage them. The result,
of course, was that his blowing was shall
low, compared with that of the elder boy.
They were at work in the same field and
plowed land about. The difference in
the corn on the different lands, from the
time it came up until it ripened, was as
tonishing. That on the lands plowed deep
came up sooner, and fairly ran away from
the shallow plowed lands. When I
gathered my corn the difference in yield
was still more astonishing. The deep
plowed lands yielded fully one-third more
corn than the others.
My doctrine is, to raise good corn, in
breaking up, plow deep.
may state that last year had in corn
over one hundred acres, and l think il
averaged 65 bushels to the acre,

l also believe IN, and practice, making
good fences. Better less and good. Poor
fences breed breachy stock. What un-

good corn it must be tended; not sighted.

Jan We Raise Fruit In Nebraska I?

Such is the question asked by many,
and it is one Of vast importance to the
settlers of cur Territory.
Unless we can raise fruit, we VIII be
deprived Of many, very many, of the lux
urie5 of life. We, most Of US, have been
used to fruit all our life until we came
here, and to be deprived of the same, for
even a few years, is very inconvenient,
and hard TO be borne; bat to live here
with no prospect Of fruit, ], for one,
would never do. But, can we raise fruit?
ihatis the question. g1er
l am fully persuaded we can. To be
sure, we have a cold climate, with sudden
| freezing and thawing in winter, which is
trying to the trees, bat not more SO than
in Iowa, Northern Illinois, and Wiscon-
sin. &c, where experience has proven
that fruit will do we'll Here the subject
has not been fully demonstrated, for
want Of time that our Territory has been
settled. We might conclude that we car
not raise wheat here, because in SO il
was ruined with rust; or corn, because
three years ago it was nearly ruined by
early frost, and the little raised this year
on account of the drouth. Bat we have
had no such mishaps befalling our orch
ards. There has been fruit trees grow
ing in this county for four or five years
and are still doing well. l have heard
of none being killed by our winters.
"But," says one, eve have not had
one Of our. severe winters since they
were of any size"
True, and we may never have again
if we do, we will not, think, fare worse
than others, as trees were killed, Of
greatly injured, four and five years age
all over the West, and to a great exten
/ all over the Union; and this calamity
will, if needed, be of lasting benefit Il
US as it is to ;hem, being a guide where.
/ by to steer hereafter, 10 enable US to keeI
/ clear Of such mishaps, by setting oct on
ly such kinds as then proved 10 be hardy
and able to endure our most severe win
ters. If we sit down, and fold our arms
7 and cry: ooh, we never can raise frui
here like they can in the 'Jqrsies' anc
other places noted for their extensive or
chards and fine fruit /" I admit we vii
have no fruit.
We must be up and doing. We mus
think, read, and labor; must battle viii
all difficulties; what nature has apparent
ly Withheld from US, we must make up
by assisting her, not work against, bu
with her.
To succeed in raising fruit as IN every
thing else; we must understand il; mus
take lessons of nature. If we-look arount
we can see the grape and different kind
of small fruits growing wild in abund
ance. Follow out her teachings, and W,
may succeed in adding to the list most 0
the larger fruits. But we should know
