Correspondence of the Courier.
New York. Oct. II. 1865.

Col. TnoMpsoM: Dear Sir-Last night
| attended a political meeting in Cooper In.
stitutc, and Was SO disyustcd that left before
the meeting was near close But remained
long enough to hear several speeches deliver
cd-two of considerable length one by Ex-
Vice President HAMhIN, and the othor by
Senator WILSON, of Massachusetts,. Their
speeches amounted only to TRADE of bitter
calumny Oh the South-suoh as hoped never
to hear from All American. II.>MLlN is quite
taceious, tries to be witty, and wit!ial is a
great dcmagoguo. WILSON has as much New
England bigotry as you could conceive posi-
bic to be coacenssrated in one man. He thinks,
talks, and gcsticuiatcs as though hc thought
land thiuk esdoes, ho is SO. given over to
his idol, New lshsland the central spot of the
Universe, and t!at the suu sAoc more bright
ly there than elsewhere. Indeed, one might
think from his labmrcd haranguc last night,
that he thinks the laws of nature do not oper.
ate in that brightspot as it does on other parts
of the Universe; that those motions of the
earth which tend to centrifugal action on
other parts OF its surf'cc, have q ccntrinetaI
influence on that spot made SD bright by the
reelected and concentrated light OF such intel
lccts as that Of hcr son-thc honorcd speaker.
Bat it was not my purpose when sat down
to write, to allow my fingers to reflect the state
of mind necessarily consequent on attending
- radical mass meeting. But my object was
simply to cncloso n Pearl phlct found on all the

Hungry Po,i,icians.

The "latter.day democrats" are hun
cry, almost TO starvation, for office. The
days OF Pierce and Buchanan have not
yet returned TO them-but they stand
like the immortal oliver Twist, with
porrlngers turned up, ready and anxious
for something TO happen, for some good
fortune TO put them again into political
power, Their chief hope, few years
ago, was that the administration Of
Abraham Lincoln might prove failure
that it might not succeed in putting
down the rebellion, so that they and
their old allies, the rebels, would again
come into power.
But, disappointed in such expecta-
tions, they are now turning their long
ing eyes TO hoped.lor divisions among
the Union men OF the country. Diver
sity of sentiment on the details of i'm
portant government measures and per-
sonal alterations, such as always exist
in all parties, they fondly magnify into
prospective dissolutions. They have
nightmare dreams, and visions of dis
solving views,-but poor offlce-hungry
fellows the realization OF their dreams
Is as far OFF as ever. Their dry, parched
and hungry maws are wide open, and
they go strutting about like so many
sarn.yard fowls on dry and sultry
day, catching all the flying bugs and
humbugs that Goat in the air. The larg-
er the bugs, the more greedily do they
swallow them.
How much have these political cor
morants made out of Andy Johnson D.
how much out of the New Hampshire
election1 We really pity them, but see
no help for them, while the memory of
their conduct during the rebellion lasts.
AS party, they are dead and doomed.

Maple Sugar Making im vermont

Editor Rutland Herald In the HIRAM
OF March lst [ noticed an article on
Maple Sugar Making, from the Ameri.
can Agriculturalist, much of which !
do not agree with, the manner of tan
ping trees in particular; and having
been all my life, or since nv remem-
orance, in It's season, in the manufac-
tnre OF Maple Sugar and Syrup, and in
our annual Agricultural Fairs, (hoth
State and New England successful in
being awarded the first premium on the
same, Shall give you my method of
tapping, gathering sap, and making Ma
pie Sugar and Syrup.
AS | have been asked thousands of
times, at different Fairs, how I con]d
make so white and hard Maple Sugar
equal to the best loaf, my reply has
been a great number Of times, that two
words would tell the whole process
one OF them being clean and the other
q"'c@,-which you must always bear in
mind, and practice from beginning To
end. My Sugar Works consist of 600
trees, part first and part second growth

finding them much ahead of all others
having used all kinds, from the old san
trough down to the late patent pine
bucket. First, they are always ready,
needing no driving of hoops or soaking
and you need not even wait for vour
team to feed and be tackled in the morn
ing OF your first "sap day" but take
from % to 80 under your arm, and walk
into the woods and proceed immediately
TO tapping. Second, they never dry up
so as to leak in windy or warm smell
Of weather, and if made right they oc-
cupy but little room for storage. And |
lastly, and very important, if YOU use
the right kind Of sap spout, your san
never sours, if gathered every twenty
Tour hours, as it is sure to do at the last
part OF the season, with wooden buckets
and spouts, as the sap in them sosks in
TO the grains of wood, and when Won
empty out your sap, the inside of the
bucket remains wet with sap, which the
warm air and wind will cause to acidul- |

As soon as the syrup first begins to boil,
close the damper to the stove, and ne.

fire, and pass 0gaia through cloth styatcy,
to remove all specks in the syrup. Then
place over the fire and finish as required.
For syrup, the only method / have found,
is to take small quantity in dish and
stir until cool, My syrup | have to
weigh from 10 to II lbs to the gallon,
usually 10 II.
For grained or tub sugar, take \ dish Of
clear, cold water, and drop in some hot
sugar from the pan, and If it will not
unite with the water, but cleave to the
bottom of the dish or to the spoon, it is
done sufficient for tub sugar. For cake
sugar, take broom spint or straw, and
form a small loop dip into the hot SUI
gar, and when taken out and blown
with the breath, it will feather or be
formed in a string o! long, thin bubbles,

will hold $50 lbs, bottom made tunnel
shape, and set In q sack. Fill nearly
full. When first poured in, stop up the
lower hole with round stick, reaching
above the top Of the sugar so that when
cold, it can be withdrawn. After the
same is taken out, take 4 tcltte flannel
cloth, which when folded two or three
thiCknesses will cover all the sugar;
rinse In clear cold water ccery day, and
wiring 80 it will not run water then
spread over the top Of the sugar, and
place on the cover. Continue until
white. In common years, make on an
average five pounds OF grained sugar to
each tree, using three men and one team
three weeks from the day the buckets
(6O0) are taken from the garnet until
they are returned.
For the last four years, the price has
averaged l6 % cents per pound. This
spring sugar is 20 to - cents per pound
syrup s. to So per gallon, as it is put
up. | use dry wood cut II feet long,
from limbs and fallen wood, gathered in
spring time, in summer and fall and
placed in the sugar house while dry.
As soon As the sugar season is over
| have al utensils that are used about
sugar-making, thoroughly cleansed with
boiling water, and placed away, where
they will keep Try md clean.
