PEACE BETWEEN TIE sECrIQNs.

The second point that shoaId be in
corporated into the platform should
be "a restoration of concord" We
must have an equilibrium restored be-
tween the sections. We must have a
thorough good will and harmony. We
must learn all men 10 love the nation
al flag, to guard the national honor
and to further the national prosperity.
We can solve no question satistacto-
rily while we are divided. While sec
tjonal prejudice and passion rule men
it is of no use to address them with
arguments on public policy, or public
pOlity; it is Of no Use to talk to them
Of injustice or dishonesty; You cannot
penetrate their prejudiceS; they are
swept along by passion almost in spite
of themselves. But let them drop
and forget all these questions-let
them come together as brothers and
stand face TO face, and looking each
other fairly in the eyes, seek for the
true and the good ana the wise, and
you will see what, in view of our mis-
cradle hide-bound past, may be es-
teemed a political millennium. There
must be unity-a oneness of feeling
and of purpose-an assertion that the
people of this Republic seeking a COM
mon end, defending a common right,
building up common country, shall
move onward in harmony and peace.

IT IS AN HONEST PARTY ;

a party that will oppose fraud and
corruption; that will throttle rings
aud cliques; that will denOunee and
dethrone even its own leaders when
they become corrupt; that will COM
mand the confidence Of home tax
payers and retrieve our reputation
abroad. The first and leading princi-
pie, then, in the platform should be a
promise made-not idly but earnestly,
and as guapantee-that We viii re-
form the abuses OF the present party
and fairly and honestly run the gov
eminent and dispose Of its revenues.

GIVE TIE xEGRO HIS RIGHTS.

The third point in the platform
should be, | thipk, a definite and IN
mistakable pledge, that we, the people
of the South, will protect the negro in
all his rights of freedom and franchise.
Strange as it may seem to US, who
year after year have seen the white
employer and his negro employee vO-
ting against each other in peace and
kindness, it is believed by great
many people in the North that the
first step with which we woald mark
the democratic reascendency would be
to deprive the negro not only of his
right to vote, but his freedom also !;
that ct any rate We would reduce him
to a condition Of quasi slavery. They
are exceedingly jealous, and naturally
so about the perpetuatiOn of what they
call I" the results of the war" They
are afraid to trust the democratic party
with power again Oh the sole account
that they fear reactionary legislation.
Let US convince them that we accept
as final the abolition of slavery and
the franchise Of the negro, and will
defend them as such, and we Will have
done very much toward removing the
only obstacle that stands between the
democratic party and an oYerWhelm-
ing national triumph.
LET Us RETURN TO TIE CONSTITUTION.
The fourth point of cardinal i'm
portance that should put in the plat
form is, a return TO the constitutional
methods Of government, both in the
the stale and in the nation. While
we must yield to the general govern
ment all the rights it has, or all that
the Supreme Court by decisions will
give TO it, We should insist upon the
right Of the states to manage for them
selves their own internal affairs.
Without this right were fully protect
ed and It's maintenance guaranteed, |
wouldn't give cent for any victory.
There Is an alarming tendency lust
now 10 consolidate this government,
to gather all the power at Washing.
ton, TO lessen more and more the lib
critics of the states and make them
dependencies upon the great central
power. This must be checked, and
that, too, promptly and decisively, or
the Republic is lost. | have a letter
from Mr.. William VI. Evarts, of New
York, one of the puress and wisest
men, in which he says Il do not
think there are 100 men in this coun-
try who realize how near We are to a
complete change in the form of gov
ernment." We are drifting toward a
despotism with rapidity and direct
ness that cannot fail to alarm the peo.
pie when it is made plain to them.
On this platform, then, with its four
cardinal points of honesty, concord,
the protection of all citizens in ali
their legal rights and constitutional
Republic, | think We should q enter
the campaign"

FERTILIZERS FOR FALL SowING.-In
the fall we need an active fertilizer, one
that Will push forward the young plants
and enable them to become well establish
ed before winter. PhoSphates are not gen
orally required by II youn" plant. it is
only when the seed is to be formed that
the plant needs to store up this material
If Superpho>phates are applied in the
fall upon soil containing lime. the excess
of soluble pho>phoric acid combines with
the lime and makes an insOluble Cor only
slowly >olublc) phosphate which has no
appreciabe effect upon the crop, 1t is
for this reason and not for any fault or
defect of the fertilizer that it SO often
seems to be useless. Guano on the con
trary is Immediately active, and much
more suitable for fall use than any other
artificial manure. Snperphosphate of
lime SHOULD be applied in the spring.
which is the season when it will be most
useful to the plant.

At one time it is bone ana buck wheat,
another wheat screenings and oysters. now
it is not the kind of food, but giving il OFT

cen t:linlv seems reasonable, and might be
recommended on Il broader scale than to
LAYING hens alone:
Treat hens kindly if you want them to
lay eggs \ pcttcd hen is singing hen,
and a singing hen is invariablya LAYING
one. The housewife who feeds her flock
of u dozen pettcd fowls out of her apron,
will have eggs to spare; when her neigh
Dor. who counts his hens by the hundred,
but pelts them about his premises with
sticks and stones, and sets the dog on
them whenever he catches them in the sta

Avoid chasing or frightening fUwls.-it in
lures them. If you want any to kill, take
them quietly from the roost ut night and
allow neither by tlutter or scream to dis
turb the rest. If YOU do not want to kill
them the same evening, put them in a
