Split ALI to Pieces.

We mean the New York Democracy. II
is in terribly brittle state, and full OF
centrifugal forces. On Tuesday, the
young Democrats, who have been battling
so manfully, under the sheltering guns OF
the World newspaper, met with Water
loo defeat at Albany, in the Assembly.
The Tammany Ring members, forming a
coalition with the Republican wing of the
chamber, successively slaughtered the
Police bill, the Huckleberry charter, and
the Supervisors bill, measures engineered
by the reconstructed "ring," the two last
of which were intended to chain New
York city in hopeless servitude to the
politicians. The Rachels of the "Ring f"
are mourning to-day for their children,
and will not be comtorted. When thieves
fall out, says the proverb, honest men get
their dues; hence, from the present emeute
in the Democratic ranks, arises an oppor-
tunity to carry the next State elections in
the interests of honesty and the general
welfare. The Republicans have now a
prospect of regaining their power in New
York city.
This bolt is one of the most significant
events which has taken place in politics
lor long time. The spirit of antagonism
Which has been engendered is so virulent
ahd uncompromising that you might as
wen try 70 mix hot whisky punch with
nlins Juiep, TO make wholesome and
palatable beverage, as TO attempt To re.
unite in consistent and harmonious
whole, the warning factions of the disin.
tegrating Democratic party. Indeed, the
ieud promises to intensity. Reconcilia.
ton is not to be thought of for moment.
nor do the leaders on either side look to
any such undertaking as bringing the two
hostile divisions into concordant action.
The Albany Argus, clearly foreseeing
the consequences of this break, saws
"The Democratic majority in The
Legislature has not been true to its
mission, and has not met its responsi-
b'lities," and expresses fears that IL has lost
sight Of the fact that "the Republicans,
who control the Federal Government,
and three-iourths of the States, have only
Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1870-04-08

to secure a few thousand votes TO regain
their power in New York" We have no
doubt but these apprehensions OF the
Argus arc wellgrounded. It's the begin.
ming Of the end What with the apathy
OF the Southern Conservatives with re-
gard to active cooperation with Northern
Democrats the persistent efforts In Vir-
ginia, North Carolina, and other States, to
form third party, upholding Grants ad-
ministration, while not afhliating with the
Republican party; and the local splits
and dissensions In the Democratic ranks
in other quarters, we are justified in the
conviction that the days Of Democracy
are ended. Dry rot has attacked that
once powerful organization, and II Is fall.

Sowing Wheat Early.

The uncertainty of raising this grain in
our section has prevented many farmers
from trying to raise it, their crop often be-
ing only from three to five bushels to one
of seed sown, AMI frequently almost to-
tai loss caused by the weeyil or rust.
Oats are sown by mlny, but the great
objection to sowing them are the grass
crops that follow, which are less than
where wheat is sown. have for the past
seven years raised from ten to fifteen
bushels from one of seed sown. The
method pursued by me has been to
thoroughly plow the ground in the au-
tumn, and in the spring, as soon as the
ground is thawed to the depth of three
inches or more, and is partially dry, take
the team and harrow it over.
The surface dries rapidly after being
moved. In day or two we harrow again,
and SOW the grain and harrow it in
thoroughly. Sometimes there will be
snow.drifts along by the walls and fences /;
these can be hastened away by passing
over with the harrow or shoveling few
minutes, The grain will grow quite well
if sown upon them, but prefer to have
them out of the way.
No matter if the ground should freeze,
or snow should fall, but the grain will
grow. ldSJ year part Ol pItCS was
sown April 1st. Afterward the ground
froze, and. snow fell so that the piece
could not be finished for nearly two
weeks. The first sown came up first and
was equally as good.
By following this course l have not
been troubled with the weevil or rust so
as to destroy the crop, which was the case
before, besides always having the grass
seed get well rooted before the dry
weather comes, which we usually have in
August, and often destroys late sown
seed.
cannot see but what the grass crop is
full as good and holds ont full as long as
where the ground was plowed in the
spring. Another advantage derived is,
the plowing can be done in autumn, when
we usually have more time for such work,
and the teams are frequently in better
condition. Also the plowing OF the ground
just before freezing is beneficial to it,
