The difference between the Dem
ocratic party East and the Demo-
cratic party West is wide and fund
amental-greater, in fact, than the
difference between the eastern De-
mocracy and the Republican party.
The quarrel is daily becoming more
envenomed. The Cincinnati En-
quirer, speaking for the western
Democracy, declares that "the Dem
ocrats of the East must either seek
an immediate combination with the
grcenback party, or be disgracefully
degraded next fall;" the basis of the
agreement being that every dollar
circulating in the United States
gold, silver, and paper-shall be is
sued directly by the government,
and shall be full legal tender for all
debts public and private. This
proposition is denounced by the
New York World, the leading Dem
ocratic organ of the East, as square
ly hostile to all the principles and
traditions of the Democratic party;
and the World gives notice to the
Democrats of the West and South
that the eastern section of the party

dental campaign of 1850 on any

Mr.. Jones gave a statement of a
recent visit to Mr.. Gilley, of Blue
Earth county, and exhibited two
samples of sugar made by Mr.. Gil
ley, the best grade being equal to
Coffee &C" sugar of Southern manu-
facture. Mr.. Gilley has about thirty
barrels of syrup on hand, three.
tourths of which has granulated.
ready fpr drying. He has a small
machine for making sugar by hand
which cost $50, which has a centri-
iugal motion and is very simple in
construction. He estimates the cost
of making the sugar at one cent ner
pound from the syrup, and the Weld
at four to five pounds per gallon.
Mr.. Gilley's experiment demon.
strates that the best yield Of syrup
is obtained py grinding the cane i'm
mediately after it is cut, and the
largest yield of syrup is obtained by
grinding the cane Immediately af-
ter it is cut, and the largest yield of
sugar is likewise obtained by max,

SENATOR WINDOWS proposal for
colonizing the colored people of the
bulldozing States in localities more
favorable to their independence and
to their progress is warmly seconded
by thousands of colored men of the
South. Southern white men, how
ever, laugh at the proposal and pre-
dict that it will be. forgotten in six
months without one colored family
having moved. But there is this
merit in the proposition: The cotton
and sugar States cannot afford to
lose their laborers, and the prospect
of losing them, if made imminent,
might force the decent people there
to summarily suppress the young
Thugs who manage their political
campaigns.-Disp0tch.

EGGS FOR HATCr1NG.-There are
many theories advanced and ways
proposed, as best suited to preserve
the germ of life in the egg till it can
be placed under the hen. Extremes
of heat and cold and evaporation of
moisture from. the egg, are what We
wish to avoid. In this, as In many
other matters, nature is our best
guide. The ground covered with
leaves constitutes the natural nest,
the tendency of which is to retain,
rather than dispcl, moisture. By
putting soil and leaves in box, and
placing it, with the eggs, either in
the cellar or cellarway 1--WE mean the
staircases between the cellar and the
next story, according to the degree
of moisture in the two positions, we
get perhaps the most complete imi-
tation of nature practicable. We
should prefer in winter room
warmed artificially in which to keep
eggs for Matching, were it not that
the air i'll such a room is almost al
ways too dry.-Poultry World.
