TRANSATLANTIC.

The &c rmantown Telegraph says: There
is no mode that we ever tried so efectual in
transplauting tomato, cabbage, canteloupe,
or any other tender plant from the hot-bed,
or from one place to another, as to prepare
a vessel filed with manure-water and rich
soil, about the consistency Of thin mush,
with which the roots of the plants should be
well coated, and set in hole made with a
round piece Of wood or dibble. After be-
ing rather firmly planted moisten again with
manure-water. We have never failed in any
transplanting, when done in this way, and
the trouble is very slight.

The Philadelphia Liberals.

He who "spoke as never man spake," thou
sands of years ago, said in cutting rebuks Of
the slothful servant and unjust accuser, who
wished to hide his own shortcomings by de-
tracing from the virtues of his lenieut mas
ter, Tout Of thine own mouth, 1 will CONDEMN
thee" Human nature then anu human nature
now are much the same
The same political party that cried
one day, HOsanna in the Highest" on the
next, vociferated "away with him." Par
ties also have not materially changed, ncr will
they, SO long as their constituents are unchang-
ed. The Radical party of the present day
stands much in the same attitude as the sloth-
ful servant in the parable alluded to.
Like him, it was entrusted by its own
showiosl with great opportunities for good to
the Republic, aud like him, it has proved re-
creant to its highest aud noblest trust, as the
Philadelphia Liberals emphatically declared at
a recent meeting in the City Of Bro'herly Love.
" General Thomas said he had labored to
build up the Republican party, but now he
was free to say that it was the most corrupt
party on the face of the earth." Col. Mcclure
said I" that The meaning of the Cincinnati Con-
vontion was rebellion, and the bringing Of it
to the dignity Of revolution. Five years ago
might have been necessity for the exercise of
military power in the South, but not now
The speaker differed with the Government on
principle. The dangeroGs thing the free in
situations of the country bad to meet was the
policy Of General Grant to carry elections by
force Of the bayonet The South had been
more desolated since the wax than before it.
This is strong language. As strong as tho
uttered by the press Of the section now SO OPP
pressed and down-trodden. It's, nevertheless,
true, and fully sustained by the facts in the
case, as the most careless observer may clearly
see. There is not now, nor has there ever been
any good reason since the war, why the old
relations Of the disafec,ed States should not be
restored The supposed interests Of the Radi-
cal party are the sole cause of all this Ku Klux
cry. The bayonet is needed there to sustain
party, and not to protect loyalists. Loyal
men there are just as free in their political
rights in every sense, as at the North. The
soldiers who fought against it arc now just as
true to the old Gag, as they were before the wal
aye, and just as ready to march beneath It's
folds to victory.
The meeting above alluded to was large and
enthusiastic. The speakers have heretofore Ia
ken prominent part in the Radical councils
hence its presses are seeking to countoract th'
effect Of this aud similar meetings, by heapinG
ridicule and abuse upon the speakers. This i:
the old, old game It will not work. Those
who seek to sway the masses in the coming con
test may find out that American freemen vii
reserve TIE right to abandon any party whet
they may SC elect. 1t is rather too soon to re
strict free speech IN this country. All such at
tempts will only rccon upon those who under
take the task.
