practicable in difficult. times. In England. where the theory and practice of parliamentary Government have been maturing for ages, there has has seldom been a Cabinet, in which the same dissldence has not existed. It does at the present time ih the Cabinet of Lord Pal merstOn. At any rate, our friends of the par ty opposed to Mir. Lincoln, at the late election, must exercise some charity toward him in this respect. It was made up of two wings enter taining diametrically opposite views of the po- Hey which ought to be pursued in the present difficult crisis of affairs, and no little strategcal skill was required to produce even show of unity sufficient for the purpose of the election. But forbear. The election, in all but it's formalities, is decided. It is due to both par ties to say that they accept the result, the one its defeat, and the other its victory, with mo- iteration and equaninity. It is in tbis spirit Al0ne that our common country can be carried through it's great trial. The last hope of the hostile leaders is in our divisions. With sure indications of cordial union on our part "down their idle weapons will drop,' or be wrested from their hands by the indie nant and weary masses, whom they have betrayed into this de- solating war. Let us, then, MT. Chairman. study the things that make for peace, in the first instance with each other, as the surest means of an honorable and g lasting peace with bur deluded countrymen. It rejoiced ray heart, the other evening, at the opening of the fair, to be followed on the platform by my lite long friend Winthrop, who filled the same place on the unsuccessful electoral ticket that I do in that which has prevailed, and whose admirable speech commanded the entire sympathy of the audience. fair appeal has been made to the people, to which they have responded iu terms RSt to De mistaken. Let the successful party continue to abstain from bitter partisan war fare Gen. Grant has declared that The late election is worth pitched battle, nc xareiy because it is a party triumph. but because # is the trumpet tone of the peoples voice, afilm inK the immortal maxim of Gen. Jackson, that the Union must and shall be preserved. Let our brave officers, seamen and soldiers, on the land and on the sea, feel that they are striking, hot for this or that naan-for this or that party but for the whole country, and when our gallant guests. who now honor us with their company, go forth again to other conflicts and other triumphs, let them go with the assurance that they carry with them tne hearts of uni ted people.

KEEP DOWN THE WEEDS.

Daring the months Of July and August
Is the proper time to attack the weeds -
Many of the most pericious ripen their
seeds during these months, not merely ex-
hsus.ng the soil, but laying the founda.
ton for fataro crops Of these pests. Tho
f,nce corners should be kept clean with
bill hook and scytho, and as soon as the
weeds are cut off they should be thrown
in heaps and burned. 1t is only helping
on the cause of weed growipgto cart them
to the dung heaps. Every prudent farmer
will improve these hints, by employing
Ills own and the leisure hours Of his help
in making complets riddanco of every
thing in tho shape of weed. No work of
the farm pays better, in pecuniary point
Of view, leaving out of the question the
satisfaction with which farmer surveys
his premises when entirely clear of every
intruder.
