L Fer last Words.

During the time in which we have
discussed the claims Of the nominees
upon the Republican ticket to the sup
port of Republicans in this County, we
have based our arguments, as our read
crs can easily remember, upon general
principles. We support the nominees,
first and foremost, because they are, for
the time being, the standard bearers of
our party. There are reasons of n per-
sonal nature which we have urged aux
iliary to the main reason, but these are
reasons upon which there may fairly be
differences of opinion often and we
urged them less, because we deem the
principal reason 8uGlcicntin itscl. Those
principles they profess as to let merely
personal reasons, affecting only their
individual preferences, stand in their
way of supporting the whole ticket, are
not men who can be convinced by APP
peals to the principles they profess.
But we judge that this number is small
and that most men are in great
measure too sincere in their professions
to be willing, for a spite or revenge, to
nullify them in their political ac-
ton. We have said no more for the
members on our ticket who have been
assailcd, than we would say for any
others thereon who were so warred
against. We have defended them, to
the best of our ability, from no particu-
lar preference, but because in so doing
we thought we were defending the cause
they at present represent. We hope the
number who feel as we feel in this mat
ter will compose such q majority at the
polls as to ensure all our nominees
from defeat, and thus present the Re-
publican party, after the charge of the
enemy at the polls, with an unbroken
front, and proud of its victory. If we
would succeed, we must, now and here
after, at all times, support steadily every
nominee who is fairly made such, and
who is worthicr, on account of his be-
ing one with us, as well as for any ac-
cidental reasons, than the nominees OF
our opponents, to receive our suffrages.
Let those who have hesitated remember
the principles involved in the contest,
and we think they can decide only as
true men should, to support principles,
even at the expense of personal sacrifice
of their prejudices.

SPLIT TICKETS. We have had the
fortune to see II ticket, printed for the
use of those who wish to vote all the
Republican ticket, except for Mr.. Bar
low. The ticket is headed "Rcpublican
ticket" 1t has the names of Mr.. Burt
and Mr. Hutchinson on ii for Senators,
and underneath them the name of Vic
tor Atwood, also for Senator. Now this
ticket lisa liza cheat. Mr.. Atwood does
not pretend to be n Republican-hc does
pretend to be Democrat-hc is not in
any sense Republican nomince-an
any ticket pretending to be Republican,
with his name upon it, is intended to
cheat voters. Look out for such tickets.
The boilers even leave the name OF
Soulc off, and throw him away for the
sake of cheating Il few into support OF
Mr.. Atwood. These tickets are all ov-
er the County. Look at your tickets.

MEssRs. EDITORS Il understand that
+. n. Johnson, lately Democratic can
didate for the Office of Sheriff, is to re-
ceive, as compensation for the withdraw

the sum of three hundred dollars, and
also an appointment as deputy, under

The last part of the contract l hardly
think will be carried into effect, as the
mass of the Democratic party in this

Elements Of agriculture;

A book for young farmers, by Geo. e.
Warning, Jr., author of "Draining for
Profit, and Draining for HEALTH" for
merly Agricultural Engineer of the
Central Park in New York: The
Tribune Association. Price one dol
lar, sent free by mail.
All our knowledge of agriculture, as of
every other subject, is the result of in
dividual experiments or observation by
somebody. Much of it, as far as we per-
sonally are concerned, is traditional
and very vague. We have gathered a
scrap here and triflc there till we have
quite an amount of what passes current
with us for knowledge; but by far the
greater part of it will not bear the test of
thorough investigation, it is of the low
est order Of empiricism. A practical
man" without any knowledge of what
his soil is, or of what are its capabilities,
OF of the requirements of the crop that
he would raise upon it by some combi-
nation of favorable circumstances, over
which he has no control, and of which
he has no knowledge, raises an eXtraor-
binary crop of some kind and forthwith
it is proclaimed that something that he
did or neglected to do was the one sole
cause of the increased crop and thus a
"practical" rule is established and dis
seminated, while i'll very truth all the
unusual applications that he made may
have been of no avail whatever and per-
haps, contributed nothing to the
growth of the crop.
Another attempting to profit by the
experience of really well informed men,
who have successfully proved their
theories, failing to discern discrepan-
cy in soils, in climate, in altitude, or
even in inclination may make total
failure There is no business under the
sun in which so large per cent of the
experiments result in failure as in farm
ing. There is hardly season in which
almost every farmer does not attempt
to raise some crop which proves failure
and that too independent of any great
eXtraneous cause, such as drought or an
insect scourge. 1t is only in growing
variety of crops that the ignorant farm
Ell succeeded in escaping total loss at
times.

the term is an exact science, yet it must

in the business of practical agriculture
are the mercst tyros, and here if anJ

On the other hand all of that lard

That Republicans are asked to vote
for Victor Atwood;
That Mr.. Atwood does not profess to
be a Republican;
That he is Democrat
That he is the Democratic candidate
for the Senate;
And that he has no claims upon the

And that, from principles of fair deal

MEssRS. EDITORS :-Thinking per-
haps that you would like to hear from
the great Democratic meeting held here
last evening, L thought would give you
an idea of the instructions given and the
enthusiasm with which it was received.
The meeting was addressed by Mr. Deav-
lit, of st. Adams, in a well learned and
oft repeated speech, remarkable only for
the gross misrepresentation of the Re-
publican party, and the public apology
given for the acts of Seymour at the
time of the New York riots, and charg-
ing the Republicans with the cause of
it. and winding up with glowing de-
scription of the color weight, and gene
raj appearance of the great Democratic
leader.
After the close of the remarks, vote
of thanks was given to the speaker for
his able, truthful, and instructive adj
dress, after which the "immortal TWEEN
ty" present nominated w. A. Caldwell
for Town Representative, when three
cheers were given for their candidate by
five of the twenty" making in all fif-
teen cheers ; and thus closed the most
remarkable gathering of the kind we
were ever permitted to witness.
Yours truly,
A READER.

The resolution, it will be remembered,

ration Of the country to quietncss and
prosperity on the broad basis of equality
and constitutional liberty;
Which was read and adopted Oh the
