Talk About Pruning.

Talk About Pruning.
As the season of the year is just at
hand when many who yet adhere to the
old, though not commendable. practice
of Spring pruning, will be sharpening
their tools for the annual 'trimming."
we beg leave to mention few leading
principles lyinget the base of the OPP
Grafton. a
In the outset, it may be safely said
that there is altogether too much prun-
ing none; or at least, that it is per-
formed with too rough and careless a
hana---zsesis scarcely more light mat
ter to tree to nave one of its large
branches Topped of, than for man to
have an arm amputated. The body
of an animal has no redundancy, no
surplus parts which may be removed,
and the main structure continue just
as vigorous as before. May we not in.
fer, therefore, fromsanalogy, that every
: part of the vegetable is needed to pre-
serve its health, and to enable it to full
ELL the designs of nature?
All observing gardeners know that
the several parts of tree or plant are
closely connected, and that one portion
can not be injured without at the same
time iniuring-ethcss Cut off or mar
q branch, and at once portion of the
root feels the blow and suffers from it.
So, if you cut root, the injury is felt
among the branches. Nor is this sur.
Prising, if, as some say, the branch is
only an extension of the root, every
bud SbUy ground having correspon-
din0ud or rootlet below. But wheth.
This exact balance of parts exists OF
1T, there is, without question, a nice
sympathy and correspondence oil
growth and health between them. Il

several successive years, / do in fac,
prune the roots also, and vice versa. i
tree has an abundance of leaves, il
has, and must have, an abundance o.
roots.
Hence we see why we are directed
to prune hedge in midsummer, if We
wish to restrain its growth and keep j
stationary. Pruned in Spring, there j,

and when again set out, they go OF

Object of the War.

The New York Tribune in late issue
says:
eve hold that our proper work in thi,
war is subjuga,ion, in the literal sense of
tho word"
On the other hand. Secretary Chase
in his appeal for the national loan las
week, in speaking of the Southern people
says:
"Will they not reflect that the war in
which the government has been constrain.
ed is not war for their sublugaton, hui
war for national existence, and that an
auspicious result to the Union will benefit
as largely the States in insurrec,ion as tn,
States which have remained loyal?'
So it is evident that the philosophers o.
the Tribune do not understand what the,
are talking about. and all their efforts &c
turn the war into an Abolition crusade
will fail. The Administration has spoken
upon that point. = State Sentinel.

AIDERS AND ABETrORS -" TIE E
BOOT ON THE OTHER LEG"

The Republicans Continue to charge the
Democrats with giving aid and comfort to
the South, by expressions Of sympathy for
them. That because they express their
minds freely they are guilty of Ligh trea-
son. Now. out Of their own mouths we
propose, in this article, to prove that many,
very many, of the recently converted In
ion O. Republicans are giving aid and
comfort to the South. 1t has been claim
ed. by Mr.. Douglas, (whose memory his
former slanderers, are now damning with
insincere aad fulsome praise tha. the
best way to maintain the government, was
for the North to act as a unit, and show
a bold front against the "hideons and mon
ster rebellion, that stalks abroad in the
land" If this, in our opinion was the
only practical mode of bringing abou: an
honorable and peaceable settlement of our
national troubles, such would be our opin-
ion. The North is unit-except a few
secassionlsts among the Republicans and

hundreds-nay thousands, and tens of
thousands. of the Republicans are oncour-
aging the rebellonists, in the South by
reporting that powerful party in the loyal
States are with them, and on their side.
These reports of the Republicans are pub
!ished in Southern papers. and thereby
carried to the eye and ear of the Southern
people. VIII any man say that such
things-tho' false as all of us know the
statement to be-do not encourage the
unlnformed secessionists, of the disloyal
States ? The proposition none can deny.
These false statements, of the Republicans,
effectually perform the Office Of holding
up the hands of Davis and Beauregard, as
did the help of Aaron and Hur in support
ing the hands OF Moses when Isreal fought
against the Amalekites.
Should they be allowed to thus give aid
and comfort TO the enemy? Where is Gov
ernor Notions smelling committee ?"
Let these aiders and abestors ''dry up.'
