have none of it. The people of the
/ United States will have none of 1t.
They will insist on it that any man shall
enjoy liberty in this country in obedience
TO law and in subjection TO law. Refer
ring to Mr.. Brooks intimalions about
the Democratic party taking the part of
the President, he reminded him and the
House that that party had not long ago
attempted TO act itself without law and
to rise in rebellion against the govern
ment, but that its rebellion had been
crushed by the cannon. He desired to
have the question discussed fully and
fairly, and should be glad to hear what
ever gentlemen had to say against the
righteousness of these proceedings, or in
extenuation of the Presidents conduct.
But he wanted to hear no more warnings
about the uprising of the Democratic
party, and no more proclamations as to
that party being the majority Of the pco
pie of the country.

Trial Of Fertilizers.

At the late meeting Of the executive
board Of the Caledonia Agricultural So
ciety, it was voted that the executive
committee in each of the several towns
within the limits OF the society. appoint
some one i'll their town to experiment the
coming season with the leading CONNER
clal manurcs offered for sale in the county,
with as many crops and on as many
kinds Of soil as may be practicable, and
report the results at the next annual
meeting. 1t is hoped that the several
persons comprising the said committee
will take this matter in hand and see
that thorough and satisfactory trial OF
these Superhosphatcs and fertilizers Is
made in different sections of the county.
1t is Il question with many and even has
been since the introduction of these pa
tent manures whether they can be made
profitable rs a general thing. Many of
US have tried guano, the phosplates and
perhaps other fertilizers. ON ruta-bagas,
potatoes, corn and many OF the garden
vegetables, and perhaps on grass and
grain, and have been convinced no doubt
that our crops were increased through
their use. But we hope to determine, as
far as possible, which are the test the
market affords, and what they are actu-
ally worth per hundred to the farmer and
gardener, and on what crops and kinds
OF soil they can be made to pay the best,
II at all. Let the thinking, progressive
Farmers Of Old Caledonia give this sub
Ject due consideration and be prepared
10 peak intelligently in regard to it at
our next annual meeting. I. W. $.

CHEESE FACTORY.-A Mr.. Hunter eS-
tabliShcd a cheese factory at Stanstcad
last season, and was patronizcd, to some
extent, ny the farmers in the vicinity
We infer that they carried their milk to
the factory and shared in the profits.
The result is not altogether satisfactory
to the farmers. Cheese. in Canada.
brought but 9 cents per pound, and the
margin for profit WAS not large. The
difficulty, it strikes us, must have been
the low price. Within the l. :. the
price has ranged, by wholesale, from II
to 10 cents, and little higher for choice
factory, notwit! standing the manuiac-
ture OF the article was overdone--too
much cheese made IN proportion to the
amount OF butter. The consequence has
been the price of butter has been high,
and cheese moderately low. There will
be change the coming season-morc
milk will be converted into butter, and
less into cheese. If this should be so,
perhaps the Stanstead farmers will find
1t TO their advantage to try cheese max
ing another year rather than rive up
their factory.

The Democratic National COnrcn-
ton.

The national democratic committee at
Washington adjourned sine de, Saturday.
after naming New York city as the place
and July / rs the day for the meeting OF
the democratic convention. No di<tinc-
ten whatever was made in the commit
tee between the members from the loyal
and rebel states, and the representatives
IN the national convention are TO consist
II twice the number of congressional rep
rcSrntativcS to which each state was en-
titled by the last appointment. In this
resolution no alIu>lun is made 10 the eN-
cIud1d states. Eight states were moi
represented in the committee Caliior-
MIA, Georgia, Florida, Louisiana, Nortl
Carolina, Virginia, Rhode Island arc
New jersey. The only resolution adopt.
cd by the committee was one dec larine
that the call for the national convention
shall embrace all who are willing to aiC
in maintaining the Union and are OPP
posed to radicalSm. Just previous to
adjournment Gen. Ewing and some 9TH
er members of the Soldiers and Sailors
union were admitted, and formally an
uonnccd to the president that they
would call their convention 10 meet il
New York ut the same time as the dem.

The committee rs Il body is undoubt-
eddy opposed to Pendlcton for the pre-i-
dcncy. lioraIio Seymour is talked OF by
many OF the Representatives OF the eastern
states, but his claims have assumed no
definite shape. Senator Hendricks OF
Indiana will be pressed by his state. All
propositions in favor OF Gen. Handbook
are met with the reply, "Wc don't
want soldier we want 4 civilian. -
For vice president the most marked
manimity is manifested for John Ounce,

President has a full right of defence by
counsel or otherwise. The Chief JUS
ticc of the United States Court prcsides.
After hearing TIL case. and if two-thirds
of the Senate pronounce the respondent
guilty, he is deposed from his office, and
the President of the Senate becomes
President of the United States, holding
the office until the recurrence of the reg

The eye OF the people Of the country
i'r Il lew days past, have centred upon
Washington. The accidental President.
whc'h,r prompted 10y an extra potaiion
Of whisky, or by natural uglime>S, it does

ai- batteries upon Secretary Stanton and

/, = taken for granted that the su-pen-
sion of Secretary Stanton by the Prc,i-
,,a;, ami his restoration TO the office OF
Secretary Of war by the Senate, is tlmii-
lur to everybody.
On Friday last ALjutant General
Ihuna, quite Il different man from Gen.
Thomas. the hero of Nashville
va, ordered by the President 10 deliver
. letter TO Secretary Stanton, and him
elf (lhomas) to assume the office od ~
'y.a. ct Secretary of War. The letter
u. the President was Il removal OF Sian
TON. ordering him to surrender TO Thorn
- the books, papers and public property
1pprrtaiming TO the office. Thomas,
having done the GRAND. notified the
President that lie had done his bidding,
and would himself accep; the Office OF
Secretary Of war. Secretary Stanton
'hcreuron notified Speaker Colfaz OF the
tr"nraction, and proposed to retain the
,Iiicc, unless advised otherwise by Com
grc~s The President likewise commu-
niyated 10 the Senate by message, what
Ae had done. Mr.. Stanton also wrote to
.ay President OF the Senate an account of
tac action Of The President in removing
nm from office. with an accompanying
declaration that the act OF the President
was illegal, and that he should retain the
slice unless elected ;hercirom by the
senate. \ resolution then came before
the senate to return the Presidents mes
SAGE to its author. with an endorsement
that Mr.. Stanton could not be removed
N the way proposed, without a violation
OF the Tenure of Office bill This reso-
luton was passed by a vote of more than

There We're additional developments
IN Saturday. Thomas demanded the
KY Cd HE war department of Secretary
Stanton and the mail matter in the oilic,.
claiming to be Secretary of War. and
.hpt h, made the demand by order OF the
President Stanton told him he was
simply Aliutant General, and that lie

affidavit OF Stanton, writ was issued
hs Chief Justice Cartier, for.the arrest Of
Thomas, tor illegally interfering with an
