The Vermllon Republican intima,es
that, 10 fayoring the election of Gen. Todd,
we are needessly interfering with the mat

to advocate the election of Gen. Todd, a

the Republican, a resident Of Dakota, has

only so but the interests uf Dakota, and
this portion OF Iowa, are so closely ident

to manifest some little interest in this mat

do SO despite the protest Of our REPUBLICAN

We don't know-we may be mistaken,
but we labor under the notion that the
Sioux City Register advances funny ideas
for democratic paper. Pats generosity
Of disposition leads him to accept the
most disastrous of President Lincolns
acts as faults Of head and not of the heart
He will find, we fear, that his confidence
is misapplied. -Dubaqre Herald. J.
The above is probably intended as a
gentle admonition, reminding US that, in
the opinion Of the Herald, we are playing
truant to the Democratic party. We don't
know what funny ideas" the Herald
refers so--but doubtless our approval of
some of President Lincoln's acts. OF Mr..
Liucoln's acts we have expressed our ap-
prevail or dsspproval, as the case might
be, with the utmost freedom and frankness,
not in spirit Of vindictiveness or fac,ious
opposition, but as our best judgment die
tated. In the present struggle it is our
desire to ascertain, aud discharge our
whole duty, and in doing so it is true that
We have not proclaimed our parry FRS:
and country afterwards.
From the beginning we have conceived
it to be the plain duty Of every loyal man
to assist in first suppressing the rebellion,
and restoring the national authority
When any act has been done which seemed
we'll calculated to accomplish this end, or
assist in accomplishing it, We have ap
proved it, As we have felt so have we
spoken. Is there anything wrong in that ?
Is it anti. Democratic Shall we not have
the frankness, and manliuess in times like
these to openly commend those acts or
that which commands the assent and .ap
prevail of our judgment? This We have
done, and probably shall continue to do.
AS Democrats We should not place our
selves in direct OF position to every act Of
the President, unless principle and right
compel US to do so. 1t is bad Judgment,
and worse policy, to allow the Republicans
to select their position, and then we wheel
into opposition simply for the sake Of op-
position. Let as be right no matter what
ground others occupy. If the Herald
questions our Democracy let it prefer
charges with the specifications. We are
ready for the question. In this connec
ton VIC would commend to the attentive
rerusal, and careful consideration OF the
Herald the following resolution adopted
at the late Democratic State Convention.
That the Constitution of tho Union aud
the laws must be preserved and main
tianed in all their rightful supremacy, and
that the Rebellion now in arms against
them, must be suppressed and put down ;
aud that We are in favor Of all Conslitu'
,ional means for that purpose, not merely
by force of arms. but BY other measures
as comm on sense, reason. and patriotism
will readily suggest to the governing
powers. ##s

FARMERS DEPARTMENT.
Saving Seed Corn.

think now is good time to present a
few thoughts on this subject Many of our
best farmers are wanting in care or iudg-
ment, or both, in saving seed corn. Some
of them never have any seed that will grow /;
others have such imperfect seed that not
more than half of the hills have any
standing grains. and those that do stand are
of yellow, sickly look. Occasionally, a
grain or hill is healthy, and looms up as
tonishingly, while its neighbors barely
creep and crouch by its side. Be not alarm
ed when tell you this vast difference is for
the want of perfect seed in plan ting, and no.
thing else.
l have furnished seed corn this season,
for several Of my neighbors to replant, for
the fault was invariabIyin the seed. I fur
nished FIVE bushels of seed for replanting,
and every hill came up well.
Every farmer should be ready in the fall,
as soon as corn begins to ripen, to pick the
largest, fairest and soundest ears he can
find, leaving nearly or quite all the husks
on the ear, tie them with the husk, two and
two, or braid them in strings. say fifteen
ears each, and hang them in dry loft. in
the barn or house, secure from rats and
mice, and keep them till wanted next May
for planting.
This remark on raising seed corn first
ripe and without frost. viii apply to all
other kinds Of seed; the earliest matured
should be saved for planting. Good seed
will pay all the time. 1t will pay when it
first comes, as it comes all at once; it will
pay in growing all summer, as it grows at
about the same speed all over the field; it
pays in the crib, as the yield is far better,
the produce being healthy from SOUND and
perfect seed. There is nothing that will
pay than pure and perfect seed, as the thir-
ty acres of corn which we have will demon
strate to all who may see it.
Farmers, be careful, then, in the selec-
ton of seed, and you will surely receive
your reward.-Erchange 4
