Union of Parties.

When in the course of human events
il becomes necessary or proper for one
political party to unite with another, for
political purposes, afdecent respect for the
Judgment of the people impel them to
proclaim the principles upon which such
union may be formed.
l. That we now, as heretofore, are
Internationally in favor of the Union, the
Constitution, and the enforcement Of the
laws. And We are prepared to extend
all necessary aid to the Government in
the exercise Of just, constitutional power
to suppress rebellion and protect the prop
erty of individuals and Of the United
States.
2. That we believe the present calam-
ity could have been settled and civil war
avcrted by the adoption, in the last Con-
grcss, of tho Crittcnden, or some other
equitable compromise; and that the refu-
sal of the republican party to submit any
such proposition to the vote of the peo-
pie evinces their hostility TO any peaceful
adjustment Of our difficulties, and should
be condemned by every citizen who loves
the Union.
Such being the opinion of the demo
cratic party, and we believe the great
body of the American people, upon such
or similar principles, the democratic party
would be willing to unite with the repub
licans at amy general election. For new
or, under any circumstances, can the dem
ocracy unite with the conservative portion
of the republicans, until they shall hav'
: cut loose from the abolition portion o
their party-and the quicker they do tina
the better for themselves and for all con
t cerned-for every man of common under
f standing is well aware that no sections
n party can ever govern this great Republic
:. The opposition papers may grumble an
# howl as much rs they please-no powe
Y short of Omnipotcncc can ever swerve {
Q drive the democratic party from their Pc
i slion. @

Clay and Calhoun.

In his speech of the 25th ult., before the
Richmond Convention, Ex-Governor Wise
thus apostrophizes Henry Clay and John C.
Calhoun:
"Oh my God, sir. could weep. | can
not look at you without seeing near you those
two sculptured figures in contrast. | wish |
could speak of Henry Clay as want to speak
of him without being misunderstood. KNEW
him and knew him we'll. He has gone, and
would say nothing of him but what is good.
And there is one good thing can say for him,
and when look at that marble am remind
ed of it. He was game, he was indomitable.
he was uplifted, and his steppings were
stately steppings He, that mighty man,
tried compromise, and compromise, and com
promise. until he won exalted fame, and the
name of the Great Pacifcator. Henry Clay,
invoke your shade! If you had life now
and were standing in this hall, on your ma
tive soil. Henry Clay, l invoke your shade to
know what would be your exclamation. your
! apostrophe of compromise! Alas alas the
word has crumbled into ruins like the Ship
of State for which he labored in vain.
And. in contrast with that of Henry Clay.
another image rises before my mind, distinct
and indelible as marble-the image Of John
c. Calhoun, of that man who was ambitious
above other men-who sought the Presidency
as Newton sought an observatory-he did not
want it without his telescope; that man of
whom a Georgian has said that he was like
Michael Angeles dome in the heavens. with
out the scaffolding of thought. The other
day, when South Carolinian, who was
pleading at the bar, referred to that marble
image, | looked at the stern, severe, unbend-
ing, unyielding countenance, and my man
hood gave way, and l wept to think of him.
He was prophet, and more than prophet.
He foretold the events in the midst of which
we are now to live. He knew the use of
words; he knew that words were not sha-
dows, but things. The giant contest, the
more than gladiatorial contest which took
place between these two men, between whose
marble images you and I, sir, sit here to-day,
| furnish in one sense type of the national
crisis in which you and l are this day involv-
ed And now the pen of the present is to
record an answer to the question-an indeli-
Bile answer Whose efforts have told on the
side of error, and whose have told on the side
of truth? From one came a hopeful effort to
save by compromise the other sternly told
you to stand by your rights as the only
staunch, stern, immovable position that
would save you.

"a man named Doyle, one of the workmen
at the Navy Yard, slipped over to Fort Pick
ems, a few nights ago, and came very near
getting in before he was discovered He had
bundle of rat-tail files in his pocket, and
says ifit had not been for sergeant holding
a lantern up to his face, as he was going to
the door, he would have every gun spiked in
twenty minutes. He was sent back by Slem-
mer, with the request that he be dealt with,
as he did not wish to do anything that might
bring about collision. which was so much
to be deprecated Col. Clayton sent note in
reply, by the hands of private Bullock, (who,
bv the by. has since been promoted to cor
poralcy,l stating that he would punish Doyle,
but Just at this time he had too much need of
his services in casting cannon balls. The
conference took place just outside the fort. y

UNION IN ALABAMA.-The Tuscumbia
North Alabamian of the 22d ult., contains
the proceedings of a public meeting held at
Frankfort, in Alabama, at which the follow
ing resolutions, among others of similar
character. were passed:
Resolred, That we approve the course pur-
sued by our delegates. Messrs. Watkins and
Steele, in Convention at Montgomery, in not
signing the so-called secession ordinance.
That secession is inexpedient and unneces-
sary, and we are opposed to it in any form,
and the more so since majority of the slave
States have refused to go out, either by what
is called Southern cooperation, or ''Pre-
cipitate secession" and that the refusal to
submit the so-called secession ordinance to
the decision of the people is an outrage upon
our right and liberty, and manifests spirit
of assumption, unfairness. and dictatorship.
That our Congressional nominee, if elect
ed, is to represent us in the United States
Congress, and not in the Congress of this So
called " Southern Confederecy."

The demand Of materials to be converted
into paper has increased enormously within a
few years. Junk dealers and thinner pen
trate every part of New England in search
of rags, and latterly they have commenced
purchasing books and pamphlets for this

Curled Leaf.

This disease, so destructive TO the peach
crop in some portions of the State, has made
its appearance in this vicinity. With the
exception of some two or three orchards, the
attack appears to be mild. and will not pre-
vent bountiful yield of this delicious fruit
the present season.
A great many learned essays have been
written both here and in the Atlantic States
upon the cause of the curled leaf. Those
who have investigated the subject most tho
roughly in California, generally concur in
the opinion that the disease is caused by sud
den change of climate, from warm to cold,
chilling the sap and checking its flow, there
by reducing the vigor of the tree, leaving it
the easy prey of disease. Peach trees should
be cut back every winter with an unsparing
hand. Unless the top of the tree be very
thick, none of the bearing shoots need be
trimmed close to the body or large limbs, but
the previous years growth should all be cut
back one half Under this treatment we get
larger and finer fruit, the tree will not be
overstrained and broken down from the
weight of fruit upon the ends of the long
dangling limbs, as is the case with trees not
shortened in, and the tree is healthy and long
lived The only orchards in this locality
seriously affected by curled leaf, are a couple
which were suffered to go untrimmed last
winter.
All varieties of the peach are not alike
subject to attack from this disease. We know
of an orchard in this town where the curled
leaf is somewhat prevalent, but not single
tree of the variety known as the Early
Crawford, :" though scattered pretty generally
throughout the orchard, is affected by this
malady.
Whatever tends to give vigor to tree or
plant also tends to ward off disease. A peach
orchard should be we'll cultivated. The
ground should be broken every winter or in
early spring, and if it is not fertile it should
be manured Then leave the orchard to enjoy
the full benefit of the ground, and above all
do not steal away the substance belonging to
the trees, by raising grain, grass or vegeta-
blcs in the orchard.
