Passiyism or Aggressiylsm.

First put your iron into the fire aud
heat it red hot then take 1t out of the
fire, and hammer it into the form re-
quired. This is about the way the Passive
Policy is being forged into strong,
healthy, living issue; beginning only
three or four weeks since in we'll d.
gestsd and carefully written article,
marked by sound practical reasoning.
born of the inexorable logic Of current
political events. Very few political
theories have created, in the same space
of time, so marked q change in the opin.
ions Of men. Before the appearance of
that article, suggesting that the Demo-
Gratis Of the country should put no mem.
bor Of their own party in nomination for
the Presidency, but should accept as their
candidate Republican, who would rec.
ognize no sectional differences, but would
DO q President Of the whole nation
before that suggestion was made, the
election Of President Grant to q second
term was foregoue conclusion. 1t seemed
to all reflective men Us if nothing could
bar the way to bis success. A change
has come DER the spirit Of the scene
Administration papers at first did not
descend to notice it, and now, against its
invuluerabIity, they can bring no more
powerful agents than slokly efforts oi
ridicule and an effecton of invincibility
which they connot possibly feel.
Our friends of the Democrat, for ex
ample, call it the "cold pizsn" policy.
What's in a name? Passiveism BY any
other name, even that Of "cold pizcp,
will just % sffectually raise up party Of
progress, honesty, justice and liberalism
which no amount Of ridicule can kill, OF
opposition crush out Of the determined
purpose Of the people to sustain. ThaI
it is gaining ground rapidly, beyond al
previous hope, is proven by the adherence
which is daily given it, not only by thu
press Of the State, but by liberal anG
conservative papers all over the Union
1t is astonishing, to use q popular slanl
phrase, how many papers are taking
"cold pizen" in theirn. The New .YorI

Why is it that the Grant Republicans
are SO much opposed to the proposed pol
icy Of the Democrats not putting in nom
iuatiou q presidential candidate ? This
aud the fact that they encourage the
aggressive" policy, is a strong argument
in favor Of passiveism. Do our aggres
sive brethren believe for moment that
the Grant Radicals would cheer them on
If they did not think it a precursor to
their success?

We are sorry to see that many IF the
Democratic papers opposed to the passive
policy are SO vitupsrative in their denun-
oiation of those who differ honestly with
them. 1t is right and proper that the
differences between them should be dis
cussed, that wisdom may result there.

A correspondent. Of the Horticultural
writes:
i had narrow border not more than
two aed half feet wide, on the edge Of a
fence. I planted three cucumber hills in
the border, and laid scme brush (such as
is use for pea vines) between them and the
fence As soon as they crept up to the
brush, pinched of the ends of the vine
which thickened rapidly around ths roots,
aud 10 every direction, throwing out the
most vigorous foliage and profusion Of
flowers.
i did not allow the cucumbers to grow,
but watched them, and such as | wished
to reserve for table Use I picked as soon as
they sbecarne Of proper size, and all the rest
were gathered every day for pickles; every
day piuching off the bud at the end of
each shoot In this way the hill contin-
ues fresh and productive until they were
touched by frost. Some judgement can
be formed of the value of this practice
when / add that more than barrel OF
pickles were made from three hills, besides
allowing a supply for the table.
Whenever a leaf began to look rusty OF
yeIloE ish it was removed, and the cucum-
bers aud leaves were cut off with large
scissors, so as not to disturb or wound the
vine There is an advantage in having
them run upon brush instead of trailing
oyer.the ground; because they are much
less injured by beirg trodden on, and by
being kept low on the bushes can De easily
and thoroughly examined every day, which
is essential, because if cucumbers are
overlooked, and grow very large, it stops
the yield of that vine.
