For the Grant County Herald
The Phil. Convention and Divine Provi,
dence.

There are many who maintain
that all the affairs of men are direct
ed and over glucd by Q Divine Prov
idence.
TO our simple understanding, this
doctrine has always seemed unsound,
if not shockingly profane, inasmuch,
as it not only attributes to the Di-
vinity, all the good, but Ell the evil
which exists, or has ever existed in
the world. Not only this, but itstrips
individuals of every grade and char
actcr, of all responsibility for their
acts and makes them mere ma
chimes in the hands of an all-control-
ling power. Hence, it must follow,
chat all laws to restrain the evil dis
posed, and to punish the guilty, are
therefore unjust. Hence, to say tie
least. all civil government, and all
political machinery is superfuous.
Look at the pictare in the light Of
History? Trace the doctrine there
in, to all its logical conclusions, and
then if you will, Oh believer in
Universal PFovidence-put upon the
sod CT infinite justice whom you pro
TESS to worship the blame Of having
imposed upon mankind, the almost
infinite amount of human folly and
crime revealed therein and we pray
you, DO not forget at the same time,
TO include in the list, the blame for
giving you an understanding capa-
bic of arriving at such an unreason-
able conclusion.
These reflections are suggested by
reading the "Declardtjon If pripci
pies, of the late Phil Convention
the proceedings of which we have
before rs. If we really believe il
Ia the doctrine which we are now
criticising, we confess that the ne

that the seasons in this country are

iority OF eastern men will say the
seasons are too long. If they are
too long Il. would seem as if Mime

raise fruit trees in; now every well
informed man knows that IL south

ing countenance TO political impnr..
ty and to private corruption. Hc
loves justice and liberty, and he hates
oppression. His sympathies were
not with the shareholders Rebellion,
but on the side of the Onion and
the Constitution and now that the
Rebellion is ended, he cannot look
with any other emotion than that OF
aversion, upon those who are cngag-
ed ~ efforts to restore to political
power the actors and the aiders and
abettors in it.
This doctrine Of Universal Provi-
dence seems to have been very ac--
ccptable to the Phil. Convention,
and it is not surprising that they
sliced hold of it with SO much avid
ity. Nothing could have answered
their purpose so well. BY one
stroke Of the pen and that guided
by II sentiment in harmony with
popular belief, they throw the whole
responsibility Of this late Rebellion,
and all OF its long catalogue Of hor-
rors upon " TIE Supreme Ruler Of tie

oil, all, are made innocent tools in
the hands of the great architect, to
work out the Almighty will.
This is the doctrine avowed in
the Convention over which our Doc
little presided, and in which our
Randall was conspicuous. To our
mind, it is about as erroneous and in.
famous as it well can be, and we
trust that the American people will
soon set their seal Of condemna-
ton upon both it, AM It's authors,
SO that neither the one nor the other,
shall again disturb American politics.
Here is the Preamble Of the " Dec
laration Of PrtncipieS Of said Phil.
Convention, in full-from which ii
will be seen that we have done no
injustice To the concern. The italics
are ours:

which they have with perfect una

We have given our views of one
and the first Of the heresies pro-
INDICATED by that Convention, but
there are others, if they are not as
impious are quite as mischievous in
their practical application. These
demand Cur attention, but as our

Seasons and Fruit Trees.

Mr. COVER
| reed copy of the HERALD
the other day for which suppose |
may hank you i contains some ar
ticles on fruit culture, &C., which
are of some value and as you pro-
pose to give something more on that
aubiect thought | would IKE to
have the copy Of the paper which
shall contain what you have to say
on it. Please send it to me and
oblige your frienJ.
Now while | think of it let me
say Q few words in reference to one
idea suggested by your cCrrespon-
dent in answer to Mr.. Darnetl's.
He says that last fall w9s n late dry
fall, we'll calculated to ripen the
young wood of trees. Now he has
probably forgotten that about the
Goth, or 9th, of Oct. we had the
hardest freeze that has been seen or
felt IN this region for many years SO
early in the season. Some of US
predicted then THAI fruit trees would
suffer even as it came to pass. And
that it was that early freezing which
caused the death Of so many trees
have lemonstrative proof in one case
at least. | had lot Of small trees
hich suffered severely; the bark
was burst on hundreds of them near
tie ground. And that it was done
early in the fall before the winter
SHOWS came on have proof from the
fact that one row of them ran along
near fence where there was consid-
cradle brush, &c, wich caused the
first SHOWS lodged and cover them
which remained all winter, and that
row was a. badly injured as any
other in the lot. There are other
facts connected with this matter
which | could relate but | torbear.
Yours respectfully,

by cultvating 90 or 70 acres Of land
in corn, oats, &c, Mr.. Joseph Bon
ham has Seeding tree that has
been bearing apples 20 years ); at one
time it produced 20 bushels and at
another time % bushels; this fall it
yields about twelve bushels all of
good quality win some one tell
who has done better with grated
trees? We do not suppose that our
seedlings will all bear choice fruit;
some OF the fruit will be equal to any
of that which is grated. A large
portion will be tolerable and Il few
will be very poor. This has been my
experience.
In the spring of 1889 | planted
IS grated apple trees from the nur-
sery Of G. W. Harger. | selected
hem from varieties thought to be
most hardy. They nearly all grew
and gave promise Of abundant crops
Of fruit until last year when only ID
were left with the breath Of life in
them and of these not half doz-
en- are sound and healthy. | got
10 trees at the Lancaster nursery in
1860, and Of these not dozen are
sound and healthy.
In 1862 | got 100 grated trees at
the Tatton nursery and they are all
dead or dying but perhaps q dozen.
| had hundred more from the Ian
caster nursery in 1868 Of which about
SO are alive OF which 60 are appa
rently sound and healthy. we got
q trees at the Lancaster nursery in
1861 which are nearly all alive and
doing we'll | should have stated
that ! got sc seedlings from ThomGs
Rogers Of Blake's prairie in 1850 of
which perhaps 60 are alive and so Of
thom are apparently sound and
healthy.
| hayo now given a lengthy de-
tail my experience in fruit culture
and wish every man III the County
would do the same; so | will pro
pose that we, the fruit growers Of
Grant County, have a convention at
Lancaster, some time this fell and
every one bring specimens of fruit
and give the mode ofculture whcth-
err gratis or seedlings and make sug
gestions as to the best method for
preventing winter killing, &c.
These lines have not been writ
ten in a grand style but ! hope this
may assist my brother farmers who
have a desire to learn more Of Ior-
ticulture.
