FENCE Posrs Stalking the vast extent of
our country into consideration, an incalcua-
bic expense is incurred every spring in put
ting up new fences and the repairing of old
ones. 1t has been found that one cause of
this great trouble and expense is the rapid
decay of those parts of timber fence posts
that are inserted in the ground Fences
would last three times longer than thew
usually do, could those parts that are cover,
ed in the earth be treated so as to render
them as durable as those parts that are ex.
posed above ground A great saving would
therefore be effected by any simple method
OF treatment to prevent rot in fence posts
lh's may be effected in two avs. One bv
boiling the feet of the fence posts in coal
tar, and the Other by charring them. AS
few farmers can obtain coal tar, the latter
mode Is the most convenient for them to
practice. About eighteen inches in LENGTH
OF the foot of each post should be charred
tothe depth Of one-third of an inch. It is
well known that charcoal is very fixed
substance. 1t will scarcely change its con.
dltlon by exposure to the natural elements
aud it therefore forms an almost indestructi.
BILE coating to the interior timber of posts.

Petaluma Democratic Club.

At meeting of the Petaluma Democratic Club
held May ID. 1868, the following Preamble and
Resolutions were unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS The Democrats OF the county of
Sonoma feel deep and abiding interest in the
stlbilties and perpctuity OF our sacred insttu-
tions of freedom; and the liberty OF ourselves
and fellow citizens, and are desrous Of forming a
Club for the purpose OF preserving and securing
the same, we hereby adopt the following Resolu-
tions:
Res0lued, That we are unconditionaly in
favor Of pcrpetuating the Federal Union as it
was under the CONSTITUTIONS it is, aud that the
sentiment of the immortal jackson, 'The Union
must he preserved" is the watchword that the
Democracy send forth to animate the masses in
in this hour Of their untry's peril, to
rally for the supremacy of the Constitution, the
pcrpetuity OF the Union and the preservation of
the people.
That to this great end we are now us hereto
fore, in favor OF i strict construction of the Con-
stution. and a sacred regard at all times. under
all circumstances, for all its guarantees aud pro
visions; .or the preservation of the freedom OF
speech, and liberty of the press; a prompt aud
more energetic punishment of Treasury plunder-
crs and against all encroachments upon State
or ivdual rights; against the irrepress sible
exercise by public servants of power not delega
ted in the Constitutions against oppression in
every descriptions; against sectionalism in all its
aspects. 1HoS. l.. CoRorHERS.
We copy the above resolutions as an excellent
guide to Placer county Democrats, who will soon
be called upon to organize, by forming clubs in
every precinct in the county. The Democracy
have commenced doing so in many counties in
the State, and we should not lag in following
their example.

The Democratic Successes in Wisconsin.

In La Crosse the entire Democratic ticket
is elected by an average majority of 200.
Democratic gain over last year on Mayor is
800.
At Kenosha, on Tuesday, the regular
Democratic candidate for Mayor was elect
ed
The Milwaukee News, remarking on the
Democratic successes at the recent city
elections in Wisconsin, says that "every
city in the State which voted last Tuesday
gave Democratic majoriies. All of these
cities, with not more than two exceptions,
were last year Republican. This universal
change means all it seems to mean. 1t
means death to sectionasm-life for the
peace if restoration and peace are possible.
1t means that the people of the North mean
hereafter to keep step to the music of the
Uuion."
The result Of the election in Racine is
peculiarly gratifying. The city is the home
of Senator Doolittle. The Republicans have
held almost undisputed control of its city
government for many years. On Tuesday
last the issue was made distinctly upon the
national issues of the day. The democracy
in their city convention placed their can
ddates upon this platforms:
Resolved, That Congress has no power,
under the Constitution, to interfere with or
control the domestic institutions of the sew.
era States and Territories and that such
States are the sole and proper judges OF
everything pertaining to their own affairs,
not prohited by the Constitution,
ResolOed That all etf)rts by aboliionists
or others, made to induce Congress to inter
fere with the question of slavery, or to take
incipient steps in relation thereto, are calcu-
lated to lead to the most alarming and dan
gerous consequences; and that all such
efforts have an inevitable tendency to dimin'
ish the happiness of the people and endan
ger the permanency of the Union, and
ought not to be countenancel by any friend
of our political institutions.
On the morning of the election these res
olutons were circulated, together with the
names of the candidates. throughout the
city in An extra from the Press, that there
might be no mistake as to the issues prose
cuted. The result was the election Of the
whole democratic ticket by large majorities,
with perhaps one unimportant exception.
