OUR INSOLVENCY.

Whenever proposition for the compromise Of
debts is urged, there are always persons fonnd who
begin to speak of the rights of creditors being
ignored in the effort to protect the debtor and the
equitable adjustment of the separate rights OF
each, seems to form the prime difficulty in the
way of settlements. . ... .....
Our position comedies all the right the creditors
can claim The large share of it is on that side OF
the question for when an individual gives his OBJ
legation to pay certain amount of many to anoth-
er acknowledging value received he can present no
legal or moral reasons why he should not pay it.
The proposition to compromise, stands upon other
grounds. It is claimed that creditors If such a
class has any distinctive existence) are as great
sufferers as Debtors from condition Of general in
solvency; and that they would be advancing their
individual interests by helping to free from insol-
vency, the communities in which they reside.
They may assist in doing this upon terms profit

THE CONTEST.

We have devoted considerable space in this
weeks issue, to the publication in full of two high
ly important documents platform and princi-
pies adopted by the Democratic Convention in New
York, and the speech of Hon. Horatio Seymour,
as President of the Convention, and afterwards
the nominee of the Convention for the Presidency
of the United States
The platform is bold and truthful paper, meet
ing fully the views of the Conservative people of
the country. Since the Declaration of Indepen-
dence in l776, no public document has been penned
so truthful in its details of aggravated wrong and
usurpation, and 80 likely to stir the popular heart
to returning sense of the requirements of a pop
ular and correct form of government, 1t has the
ring of true metal and if the people Of this coun-
try are capable of self government they must per-
ceive that the only hope of perpetuating their lib
critics and their safety, lies in the principles enun
ciated in this paper.
The speech of Gov. Seymour upon taking his
seat as Chairman of the Convention, is important
as an enunciation of the views, as man, Of the
individual who has become the standard-bearer of
the Democratic party; and the leader of the conf
ing revolt against radicalism and misrule.
To the people of the South, who stand rather in
the attitude of spectators of this grand contest,
both of these papers must bring solace, hope, and
promise Of deliverance from the bondage that
now presses SO heavily upon them. The South,
through her representatives, asked nothing in the
Convention and this manifestation of the popu-
lar will of the multitude is spontaneous uprising
that we have not materially assisted in creating
Our wrongs and prosecutions have at last stirred
the sympathies of the American people, and we
may hope that they will make our deiverance sure.
There was danger to the North as well as the
South, in the mad excesses to which radicalism is
aspiring. 1t is this common danger, more than
anything else that has awakened the masses to the
facts put forth in the Democratic Platform.
A duty is now before us. We must strive to
cast the vote of South Carolina for Seymour and
Blair, at the November election. 1t is possible to
accomplish such purpose, if our people deliber-
ately and determinately go to work in the right
Way,

fered counsel by the bushel as to who ought to be
nominated stood the best chance for sue

Grant and Grammar.
The biographers of Gen. Grant, who since
his nomination for the Presidency, have become as
numerous as Mother Cary's Chickens, are pre6xing
upon the title pages of their literature the follow
ing extract from Grant correspondence with Gen.
Buckner in relation to the surrender of Fort DON
elson, namely, 81 propose to move Immediately
upon your works!'' Grant either intimated a
proposition to Buckner which implied that the as
sent of the latter was required before he could
move; or else he did not know the common use Of
the words employed, ''Man proposes, but God
disposes." So mote it be with Hiram Ulysses,

army of valiant females fully armed and equipped,

PEACHES.

81. G. c." in communication last week, asks
us for the best mode Of packing green fruit for
market. As editors are expected to know how
to do everything from milking cow to making o
steam engine, we will proceed to meet -. c. Cs'
inquiry:
The usual mode of packing fruit for shipment,
is as follows: Gather about five days before fully
ripe, pack in bushel boxes, four sides of plank
the ends covered with narrow strips of lathing, to
allow ventilation. Peaches should be packed with
the stem ends placed towards the walls Of the box,
though this precaution is not always regarded.
Four such boxes packed and closed up, may be
made into package, by laying them together so
that the ends are left open to the air. and fastening
with hoop drawn around and tackled. Transpor-
tation on small lots will be reducedin this way.
New York is the best market for early fruit, al
though Baltimore and Philadelphia consume large
quantities and give remunerative prices. Poor
fruit will not sell anywhere.
