afford them an excellent opportunity
to hear an able defense of Democratic
principles.
We also invite our Republican
friends to be present and hear him

culated to give offense, but in all cases
will appeal to the reason of his hearers.
We regard GEN. MORGAN, as the
rising man of the West; and while il

hear a man who may yet reach the
Office of Chief Magistrate of the Re

OUR SOILS-THREY MUST BE PIKE.
SERVED
To those who are continually Boosting
of the splendid civilization of the West
ern nations as compared with that of the
Eastern hemisphere, we commend the
following extract taken from an ex-
change. If civilization aud wealth go
together, 1t is evident that that nation will
longest preserve its civilization that pays
the most attention to the preservation of
its soils, for upon the fertility of the soil
depends the successful cultivation of all
those arts which distinguish the civilized
from the savage. Let the soil be taken
care of, the people educated and all that
is desirable will follow; wrsW
The deterioration of American soils has
for number of years past been the sub
Jeet OF warm discussion with sgricultu-
rists, and the conclusion has been reached
that unless a different system from that
heretofore pursued is adopted, the pro
ducts OF the cultivated acres of the coun-
Try Will not more than be sufficient TO
feed our own population. The value of
manures appears to. be but impeTfectly
understood by American farmers gener-
ally, the impression prevailing in most of
the better agricultural districts, that it is
next TO impossible to exhaust their fer
tility. : -rola1 5'lt z-al o o. 81
The continually decreasing crops com
pletely explode this opinion, and the eff
forts of scientific men are being energet-
ically directed towards the dissemination
OF more rational ideas Were the same
System of cultivation pursued in the Uni
ted States as in China, we should be able
to supply all the nations of the earth
with food. The Chinese according to
late writers, who have closely inVestiga-
ted their system of farming, are unques-
tionsbly the best sgricuturists and hOrti-
culturists in the world. Not particle
of manure is allowed to go to waste. Ev-
cry portion, however minute, is jealous
~ husbsnded and applied to the soil.
The result is that the whole country, So
far from being worn out or exhausted, is
as fertile and productive as it was in the
days of Confucius, thousands of years
ago. American farmers might well take
lessons from the Celestials in regard to
the cultivation of the earth.

MONTGOMERY, the capital of Alabama,
is situated at the large end OF a flask
shspsd bend in the Alabama river. 1t is
said that the man who owns the narrow
neck part of this bend floats down the
river to Montgomery, ties his canoe,
transacts his business, then floats back
home on the same river. Then he carries
his canoe across the neck of land. 1t is
related that this old genius threatened to
cut a river channel through his land,
which would be comparatively easy
task, and would divert the Alabama river
so as to leave the river bed at Mont
gomery high and dry, and the city at a
considerable distance from navigable
water.
