When to PlOW Deep.

Intelligent farmers know, or should
know, that it will not do to pillow twelve
inches deep where the surface soil is only
six. This may be done in the course of
time, but not at once. To make good
deep soil the progress downward should
be gradual. Let a proper portion OF the
subsoil be brought to the surface and ex-
posed to the action of the sun, rain, wind
and frost, then add the manures necessary
to render it fertile. By pursuing this plan
for successive years "a fertile soil can be
made-one that will resist the effects of
severe drought and be fitted also for the
successful culture of all ordinary crops.
By this means the mineral constituents OF
the subsoil become thoroughly intermixed
with the soil of the surface, which, in con
sequence Of oft-repeated shallow plowings,
has been depleted Of them. 10 make a
good soil by this method the blowing
should be done in the summer or fall, in
order that the newly turned up subsoil
may be subjected to the ameliorating in
f1uences of the heat and showers of sum-
mer and the winters freezing and thaw-
ing. But after all this is done it will be
found that good crops cannot be produced
unless there is a liberal application Of ma
nuIe. Plow deep and manure generously
and you will have a good sell and boun.
tiful yield. 1t is bad policy to pillow deep
when there is only thin stratum OF
mold or mellow soil, and to bur. this
mellow portion far beneath the surface

DIR. !. Walkers California Win

DR.. J. Walkers California Vim
egar Bitters are a purely Vegetable
preparation, made chiefly from the ma
tive herbs found on the lower ranges of
the Sierra Nevada mountains of Califor-
mia, the medicinal properties of which
are extracted therefrom without the use
of Alcohol. The question is almost
daily asked, "What is the cause of the
unparalleled success Of VINEGAR BIT
TERs?" Our answer is, that they remove
the cause of disease, and the patient re-
covers his health. They are the great
blood purifier and a life giving principle,
a perfect Renovation and Invigorator
Of the system. Never before in the
history of the world has medicine been
compounded possessing the remarkable
qualities Of EINRGARS8ITTERs in healing the
sick of every disease man is heir to. They
are a gentle Purgative as well as a Tonic,

JOTTIEGS AND JoUREBYIEGs.

Knowing instinetively that the letter
from Lafayette, published last week,
would awaken some very sharp criti-
cism from well-meaning friends, who
are constantly solicitous lest we say OF
do something that may cause somebody,
Of whom IRE have no fear, to bring OF
try to bring reproach upon the glorious
gospel Of Human Rights, we last week
crowded three days work into one, and
accepting a kindly invitation from a
number Of Portland friends, visited the
Spiritual camp-meeting about eighteen
miles from this city, at Zum Waits
grove, near Graham's Landing, where
Mrs. Chamberlain, the Spiritualist and
seer" was to be the chief attraction, and
where we could see her for ourself.
We confess that there is much about
the Spiritualists that we like to study.
One reason that we like to notice them
in the NEW NORTHWEST is because nc
other Oregon paper dares to do so upon
editorial responsibility; and our sympa-
thy naturally runs with the prescribed
classes from the fact that our position
as q political nOnentity causes US to
hold involuntary rank in the same cat
egOry. Again, unlike all other religious
bodies with whom we meet, they in
vite US to their platform and give us lib
erty to preach our gospel Of peace on
earth and good will to men and women
according to the dictates Of our own
conscience, none daring to molest or
make US afraid. Then, too, they recog-
nize the right Of the women Of the nine
teenth century TO preach and teach, and
this pleases US; so, therefore, while we
belong to the Christian Church, and ad-
here TO the doctrines Of Christ, we in
tend, no matter who may be displeased
with us for so doing, to follow the
scriptural injunction to "prove all

CALL REPEATED.

Again it becomes our painful duty to
urge His Honor the Mayor to publish
an exhibit of-the disbursements Of the
fire relief fund. 1t is a shame to the
city that We are compelled to demand
such action upon the part of our city's
Executive. But the sufferers by the
fire and their friends and would-be as
sistants are not to be satisfied by sullen
exhibitions of affected dignity or silent
contempt.
Many of our friends who at first con-
sidered us a little too hard upon His
Honor are now not only satisfied with
our course, but are engaged in collecting
facts for future use in compelling this
exhibit, provided our repeated calls foI
it are not speedily needed. Men should
not accept the responsible duties of Re-
lief Commissioners unless they have
time to attend to the business properly
therefore want Of time to make exhibits
will not be accepted as excuse for non-
fulfillment OF very important duty.
Will His Honor the Mayor compel us
to comply with the wishes Of our citi-
Eens and call an Indignation meeting?

LETTER FROM SAN FRANCISCO.

SAN FRANCISCO, August q, 1873.
Dear Mrs. Duni,Cdy,-Long ere this
intended to have written you, express
ing my joy that your paper is revived
and that you are as earnest as ever il
the great cause in which we have both
heartily enlisted. During the present
political excitement, the Californis
State Board of Control has deemed il
expedient to work quietly, and to show
you that we have not been idle / enclose
the following official document, which
was prepared with a view to create
among politicians public sentiment in
favor of Woman's Enfranchisement,
and more especially to influence the
coming Legislature.
It has been extensively circulated
throughout the State and sent to each
member of the several nominating Leg
islative Committees, accompanied by a
brief note calling attention to the disa-
bility of woman, and expressing the
hope that in the selection Of candidates
her claims will not be ignored.
Frequently, also, the more prominent
members have been visited by ladies
from our Board, urging upon them the
Importance of the movement-and gen.
orally an appreciation and sympathy
with our aims has been expressed which
is a pleasing Indication of the rapid
growth of public sentiment upon the
subject. Yours very truly,
MARY F. Snow.

Of the Convention to nominate candi-
dates to represent the people in the next

ceived the following circular:

THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

Were it not that experience shows
that man-made politics have become so
corrupt that no reliance can be placed in
political platforms, we should say that
our brethren are promising pretty well
for the future. For instance, the first
plank 'insists upon a strict construc-
ton OF the Federal Constitution, as nee
essary to the inherent rights of the peo-
pie" But does anybody suppose that
Nesmith would dare to stand on that
plank if he thought anybody understood
it? 1t has been clearly proved to every
intelligent mind, that the strictest con-
struetion of the Federal Constitution
will not abridge the inherent rights oi
the people. Yeta Democratic construc-
tion, in its strictest sense, does thus
abridge these rights, and continue thus
to abridge them, despite its pIanks and
platforms
The resolution in support of "such
Legislation as has for its object the pro-
lection and support of the producing
and laboring classes" was practically
carried out before midnight by the
faithful in the consumption OF rye juice,
to aid the producers, and Chinese fire
crackers, to aid the laborers. There is a
good resolution "that all corporations
are subject to legislative control"
We also find a demand for the i'm
mediate repeal Of the "salary grant" and
a hearty denunciation of everybody
who supported it, which just suits US
provided, of course, that it means any
thing. But there is no resolution to
prevent corruption by removing the
cause, and no evidence that the party
sees the cause Of corruption, as it really
exists. We find no plank for woman
no, not even a splinter there. Next
week we shall sharpen our pencil for
the Republican platform. Sorry We
can't do so now.
The new Northwest. [volume] (Portland, Or.) 1871-1887, 1873-09-12
WHAT NEXT, WE WONDER ?

Well, the Democratic party hath
spoken. 1t has rolled its reverberating
thunder away from the phalanx Of its
faithful followers, and having flashed
in-the-pan, goes on its way with
claquers at its heels who bear abroad a
banner blazoned with the public claims
of Bud Thompson's "Unpurchasable
Woman" Ben Hayden bore the party's
brain, but they decapitated hini-per-
haps for that very reason. Then they
resOluted themselves into the declara-
tiOn that social sins are not hereafter to
be tolerated in any public functionary
without protest unless such functionary
is a Democrat! Oh, wisdom unparal-
leled! o, virtue, how immaculate! o,
consistency, what a jewel! The object
evidently is to frighten all Republicans
OF weak morals into the camp Of the
Democracy, where their early life mis-
takes may be covered with the mantle
of silence and tleir social crimes en-
tombed within the vaults of a fat State

you gave her your arm and took her to

not only refused, but shuddered when
she said No! You cannot tell why? I
