HON. GEORGE W. BOOKER TO SENATOR
BROwNLOw.
MARTINSvLLE.
Henry County, Va, September IL, 1870. :
DEAR SR-A call will be published in
few days for convention of the native
Union men of the South, to be held in
Knoxville, Tennessee, on the first day of
November next. The main object in view
is to bring about concert of action among
the native UniOnists as against the carpet
nue. offices in the South, and also to
mOnopOlize everything else that he can lay
his hands upon. 1t is high time that these
fellows, many of whom are mere vagabond
Adventures, should be brought to know
that the Union men of the South have
some rights, and that they have the courage
to assert and to maintain them. Another
object Is to take steps to secure to the loyal
men of the South indemnity for property
taken by the government Tor public uses,
and the payment to the citizens of the
South of all claims that were due prior to
the late war.
l hope that you approve the objects of the
convention, and will lend your influence in
getting q large delegation.
Let me hear from You SOON
Very respectfully.
GEORGE W. BOOKER.

Bedford inquirer. [volume] (Bedford, Pa.) 1857-1884, 1870-03-18


debted to other countries for no less than
forty three; amongst which are ST. Johns
wort, oxeyed daisy burdock, planiin, uullen,
toad ilax, 5amestowB or Jimson weed, the
notorious. cheat or chess, Canada thistle, the
dread Of farmers, common thistle, field gar
lie, etc. Notwithstanding the fact that Amer
leans are proyerbial for their readiness to re-
ciprocaie favors, it ia shown that we have not
made very large return for the host OF pox-
ious insects and weeds with which We have
been so abundantly favored by our trans at
ianiic brethren. Very few American insects
have become naturalized in Europe. The
American pea bug is found in some parts
of France and England, but not to an
injurious extent. The only two American
weeds that have become so firmly established
ia Europe as to be positive nuisance, is a
common aquatic plant (Anacharis canaden-
ss), which mas so multiplied its growth there
as to conpletely choke up many OF the Eng
lisk canals, and the American Horse weed or
Marc tail, which has spread nearly over the
en.ire world. These facts would seem to
demonstrate conelusively that American
plauts and insects do not become naturalized
as readily in the Old World as the insects
and plants of the Old World do with Us. So
far es noxious insects ard weeds are concern
ed, this is nothing to boast Of, to be sure, but
that does not remove the fact. Perhaps, if
the subject we're more closely investigated,
the results would show that the great increase
and spread of these animal and vegetable
pests in America is due mainly to the fact
that our farmers and fruit-growers have not
been as careful to eradicate them as have
those of Europe. -Essniag Star.
