We have the great qualification of

giuis that the new Constitution has un.
doubtedly been ratified by a decisive
majority and is DOW in full force and

government and political freedom,
whose first important success in West
Virginia was achieved two years ago

The new Constitution is in all respects
an admirable one and we'll suited TO
the wants Of the State. It's adoption
marks the beginning of new era in
the progress to prosperity, and will give
new life 10 whatever promotes the pub
lie good. While securing by proper
safeguards the personal and political
liberty Of every citizen. it opens the
door to immigration and fosters the de,

the State. 1t establishes 8 cheap and

submitted for popular favor, the calling
of the Convention was violently and
vigorously contended against by the
labors and the votes OF the
entire Radical party in the
State. Dnring the whole ses-
sion OF the Convention its labors
were deriied and thwarted by the Rad
icals, and whatever obstacles party
mslignity could devise were thrown in
the way Of its success. Since the
submission OF the new Constitution for
approval 10y the people, the Radicals
have mustered the entire energies OF
their party into one final and stupeDd-
Gus effort for its rejection. The Wild
est and most extravagsnt misrepresen.
tations Of the provisions Of the new
instrument were widely disseminated.
and the whole policy Of the Radical
party was directed to this single end.

Radical State Executive Committee
under date Of June 18th. they say
"If We can call ont the entire oppo-

ATTENTION is called by the editor OF
the Journal Of applied Science to the
great value Of the suDfower plant in
various economical applications. Ac-
cording to this article the sunAower
plant can be cultivated very readily, an
acre of land sustaining $4,000 at twelve
inches distant from each other. The
flowers are very attractive to bees, and
furnish q great amount OF honey. The
average production Of seeds may be es-
timated at fifty bushels TO the asre,
yielding fifty gallons Of oil. This is said
70 b equal to olive oil for table use, and
10 we'll adapted to burning in lampe,
soap making and painting. The refuse
of the above quantity Of seed will pro-
duce 1900 pounds Of oil cake, and the
stalks may be either burnt to furnish
potash, or, when treated like fax, made
to yield Q fber IS soft as silk, and in
large quantity.
