A lady writer in the Patter Journal makes the
following remarks in regard to Dr. Palmer’s
recent translation of a French work "11Amour.”
AYe commend them to everybody-—married or
single—as we do the book itself to their peru
sal.—Ed. Agitator.
Alh Editor.— l have just finished the perusal
ofi Michalet's Book on “Loveand I see that
therein is discovered to the world an entirely
new phenomenon; namely, a Man who under
stands that wonderful enigma—that bundle of
contradictions, called Woman; and not only
this, but a mau who aces what every man and
woman should, see, —that the happiness, pro
gress and well-being of the world depends upon
the proper cultivation of home love; and that
when a man and woman have chosen each other
for life-partners, it behooves them to understand
each other, and to prepare themselves to endure,
ns well as to love—to forbear, as well as to
cherish, and endeavor to adjust themselves to
those natural differences in character which all
married people must sooner or later discover in
each other. And with this end in view, I trust
every sincere and earnest enquirer concerning
the duties of married life will not fail to read
it. Let every, man who has a wife, or expects
to have one, read this Book, as he would enter
into his closet to pray,— alone; and let every
woman who has a husband, or expects to have
one, do likewise—dn the full belief that the hu
man heart, is everywhere a human heart—the
same mysterious thing in America or England
that it is in France. It will be a help to m any
in the time of greatest need, who will find it a
better illustration of the principle of love, than
all the love-stories ever written.
Thackeray, makes one of his hero's wives say
to her husband—“Jly dear, I wish your brother
Ilal. had married my sister Hetty and he
replies, “It it much better as it is, my Theo.,
fur they would not hare been happy together.”
To which the wife replies, “I wish they had
tried.” Many present seeming impossibilities
of mutual happiness—might be rendered possi
bilities, if people would rightly try; and in
order that they may the better understand how
to try, I hope all who feel called upon to consider
these things which take strong hold on real life
—not such as it usually is, but what it should
he—will read what Michelet says on what the
Atlantic is pleased to call “the most taking
word in the English language.”
Facts to be Remembered.
It is a remarkable fact—observes the Pitts
burg Qazelts —that seventy-six-members of the
late Il4use of Representatives voted for raising
the rates of Letter postage, and that the same
seventy-six, also voted against the
Homestead bill.
Tire seventy-six who voted for the former
were nearly identical with the seventy-six who
voted against the’ latter. All of them were
Democrats.
It is to bo remembered also, that it was the
Democratic Senate slaughtered the Homestead
bill after it had passed the House by Repub
lican votes. The same Democratic Senate also
voted to increase the rates of postage, and de
feated the postal appropriation bill, solely be
cause it could not dragoon the Republicans bit
the House into conceding this increase in the
rates of postage.
The Chicago Times and other organs of the
slavery propangadists, object to the Kansas
Constitution, peoause it provides for the invio
lability of the homestead.
Pro-Slavery Democracy is the same every
where and under each of its multifarious
forms.
It instinctively opposes the Homestead bill
because Slavery cannot live where every free
laborer can have a homestead, if he will, and
because the tenure of Shivery is weakened as
the number of free-labor homesteads increases.
It also favors an increase of the rates of post
age, because in the South, the half of the pop
ulation being sliut out from the benefits of the
post office, is unable to pay its own postage
.and desire to throw that burden on the news
paper reading and letter-writing people of the
North.
We commend these facts to the consideration
of the working men of the North. Do they
wish to see the principle of the Homestead bill
triumphant? Let them vote the Republican
ticket. Do they wish to secure a continuance
of the present low rates of postage ? They
must secure, first, the defeat of the party which
seeks to increase them. There is no hope for
the Homestead or for low postage if the Dem
ocratic party is continued in power.
WnixE Slaves. —Senator Inverson, is a faith
ful, progressive Democrat, and his election to
the Senate was heralded all over the North as
proof of the ascendenccy of his party in that
State. lie recently addressed his constituents
at Griffin, and his speech is going the rounds
of Southern papers as a genuine Democratic
document. We quote a portion of it to let
Northern laborers see in what estimation they
are held by their southern citizens. Perhaps
they esteem it a compliment to be called “de
graded white slaves,” and like to be told that
the poor white man in the South occupies a
prouder position than they. If they do, let
them toss their caps high in the air, shout Demo
cracy forever, and sing paens of praise to its
corner stone, slaverj. He says ;
“The proud and enviable condition of the
poor white man in the South, compared to the
degrded white slave of the North is existence
of African slavery in the South. If the ques
tion of emancipating the negroes was to day
submitted to the people of Georgia nine out of
ten who own no slaves would vote in the nega
tive. Slavery must be maintained—in the
Union if possible— out of itifnccesary—peace
able if we may—-forcibly if we must. He was
once an advocate of squattor sovereignty, but
had repented of and recanted the error. Sub
sequent investigation had convinced bim that
the true theory in relation to the territorial
Government of the Union is, that it is both
the power and duty of Congress to pass laws
far the protection of slavery wherever it exists
or may exist upon the soil.
The fall campaign has fairly opened in New-
York city. We quote a call published in one
of the papers:

The Republicans and anti-Stockton Americans

on the 7th, to nominate candidates for Govern"
or. After the usual negotiations had been gone
through with, both parties united upon Mr.
Charles S. Olden, of Mercer county as their
candidate for the gubernatorial office. The can
didates now on the track for the Governorship
in New Jcrsy are as followes:—E. Y. R.
Wright, democrat: Peter J. Clark, Stockton
American; Charles S. Olden,Republican and
anti-Stockton American.
We have for a long time been in favor of the
abolition of the franking privilege granted by
law to members of Congress and other function
aries in the service of the government. Reform
in this direction seems now to be absolutely
necessary, as the abuse of this privilege has be
come so notorious as to attract the attention of
the whole country and the only way to inau
gurate a reform is to repeal the law granting
this privilege and let the government furnish a
proper number of postage stamps to each mem
ber of Congress, and by this means prevent the
wholesale frauds upon the Post Office depart,
ment now so common. It is estimated that
franked matter to the amount of two millions
of dollars a year passes through the mails. If
this could be saved, there would be no need of
any effort on the part of our southern friends
to raise the rates of postage from three to five
cents, as the postal branch of the government
would then be in a condition to pay its own
expenses, whereas under the present manage
ment there is a deficiency every year.
The new Post Master General has done some
thing in the direction of reform, that is to say,
ho has tried soma experiments with what suc
cess the next report must determine. His last
experiment in this direction is, we should
think, rather a doubtful one. It seems that the
secretary of the Republican Association of
Washington mailed some documents franked by
Hon. John Covodo of this State. The Post
Master decided that unless Mr. Covode wrote
the franks with his own hand they could not
be sent, although that gentleman acknowledged
them to be his. Whether Mr. Holt will be so
tenacious with regard to the priveleges of Dem
ocratic members remains to be seen, as this
abuse has been practiced much more by them
than by members of the other parties, and for
obvious reasons; but to deny this privilege to
all those who do not write their tranks with
their own hands, is virtually to offer a bounty
for dishonesty, as unscrupulous members will
not be restricted by this means. :

the faithful in its particular locality as a rew ird
for past services or as a bribe for services to be
rendered, without the least regard to the o >m
petenoy or honesty of the appointees. This is
mainly the reason why money passing through
the mails is insecure ; in short this is the main
reason why that Department of the Govern
ment is a failure. And until we shall have the
election of the post roasters of the country by
the people instead of the offices being given by
the President to ignorant partisans, wo preiict
that it always will be a failure.
FROM THE PEOPLE.
A Correction. j
Ms. Yocsg ; I wish through the medium of
the Agitator to correct a wrong impression \hat
some of my friends have with regard to my po
sition on the temperance question ; an impres
sion that may, perhaps, hare been strengthened
by jour remarks last week in giving a history
of the temperance movement in Wellsboroj.
In the first place, then, I am decldedlyj op
posed to the sale and use of intoxicating drinks
as a beverage, believing their use to be detri
mental to the moral and physical health of the
people; and that he who sells them for the
sake of pecuniary gain, is guiltily aiding in de
basing his brother; that be who manufactures
and he who knowingly sells the drugged mix
tures that assume the names of brandy, gin,
whiskey, vine, &c., is virtually guilty of mur
der in every instance where such mixtures pro
duce death, whether such death be sudden, as
is often the case in delirium tremens, &c., or
slow, resulting from the mixture taken in pod
erate quantities and operating as a slow pojison.
And it seems to me that in this day of general
intelligence, every person ought to be o|f the
same opinion. j
In the next place I am opposed to all licence
laws. The idea of granting a of the
sale of intoxicating drinks to certain individu
als on the payment of a specific sum, was first
originated from a desire to increase the revenue
of the government —virtually to make profit
from the morbid appetites of its citizens. T The
first conception of the idea was in guijf and
blood, and it is a thousand fold more bfoody
and guilty now, when not one gallon in
sand sold, is free from poisonous drugs. * Gov
ernment should divorce itself from the unholy
traffic by abolishing all license laws and refus
ing to receive into her coffers the price of the
people's ruin.
If intoxicating drinks must be sold, throw
open the traffic to all, and divide, the yuty, and
not damn a select few by first bribing them
with the profits of a money-making monopoly.
By her license laws Government is guilty of a
double crime—she commissions emissar'es to
ruin the people and by the very act and jonse
quences of the commission ruins her emissaries.
For who that traces the effect of the occupation
of dramselling, does not almost universally see
in its end moral degradation and ruin. J
I cannot say that I would have repealed all
laws against selling intoxicating drinks pn the
Sabbath, to min<frs, to persons of known in
temperate habits ; against selling drugged and
adulterated liquors, but I would have! them
greatly reformed. I would certainly nlake it
as great a crime to sell poison to an habitually
sober and valuable member of society, as to a
miserable drunkard, who is of no value (jo him
self or any one else ; and I would certainly
make it as great a crime to poison a man on
any one of the six secular days of the week as
on Sunday. j
The common law against selling unwhole
some provisions may not be held to include un
wholesome drinks ; if not, then the legislature,
at its next session, and at the very beginning
of the session, for their own safety , should ex
tend the common law so as to include unwhole
some drinks. Such a law, if rigidly enforced,
would cut up the present liquor traffic root and
branch. j .
In the next place, I am opposed to the two
resolutions introduced by the Committee ap
pointed by the meeting in the • Presbyterian
church, and which may be found in Agi
tator of the Bth instant; for the reason stated
above, and because I do not think that local or
sectional laws are bcneficiulin a matterjof such
magnitude as the liquor question ; and further,
because I am willing that the of the
present license law, which was to have jworkcd
such a wonderful reform, should have a three
years 7 trial of the experiment and satisfy the
public that the devil can’t be ridden mil of the
community with a bridle of that material.
The action of the meeting in the Presbyte
rian church contemplated a regular legal fight
against the liquor traffic in our village. I I have
spent too much time and money and forfeited it
may be, too much business success in such Quix
otic legal fighting against intemperance, not
to have l learned a very valuable lesson in all
moral contests : That the less you hare to do
with the coercive force of law, and tl e more
you have to do with great moral principles,
earnestly and energetically applied to Ihe pub
lic common sense, the greater will be y >ur suc
cess.

For the Agitator.
Mb. Young:— l find in looking over the col
umns of the last Democrat that one of the in
vincible democracy of old Liberty has of late
taken to reading, also that the first reading
matter he fell in with chanced to he The Agi
tator. ih-om his contortions one would sup
pose that the article upon the unwashed democ
racy, which lately appeared in your columns,
embodied some rather unpalatable truths ; as,
it appears to me, the iniquity of the article.con
sistcd in its unvarnished statement of things
as they are.
Kow, I am rejoiced that this dignified yet
lachrymose leader of the democracy of. Liberty
has at last been aroused from his sluggish and
unprofitable sleep, and to see by the light aff
orded by your correspondent the deep debase
ment of his party. It is right and natural that
those candid statements should vex him sorely,
since he is fearful lest some of his dupes may
read the article in question and awake to a full
knowledge of their political bondage. Such an
event would he especially disastrous just at this
time when that lachrymose gentleman is
about to offer himself as a candidate for the
office of Representative ; the which is sufficient
evidence to such as know him that he counts
largely upon the ignorance of his party. He
would like to appear before the people as the
enlightened candidate of an enlightened'con
stituency. Would that the Hon. Reef Bigler
and Mr. State Robber Packer were citizens of
Liberty, that they might have been elected to
act as delegates to the Mulatto Convention, and
so have fallen heirs to the great honor of advo
cating his claims in that highly enlightened
body. And I .grieve to find him acknowledg
ing that a great many of the democratic fath
ers of Liberty township lived and died politi
cally in error. However, he has only fulfilled
the Scripture injunction, “confess your faults
before men.” I* would urge him to go further
in the good work, to freely unbosom himself,
and thereby obtaiirstill greater spiritual com
fort. For instance, he might tell Sympathi
zing public how he aspired to aii vS Sfspointment
under the saintly Buchanan, and djdn't obtain
it; and how he has advertised himself as the
brains of the democracy of Liberty for half-a
dozen years, thus far profiting himself, thereby
nary red. I am inclined to believe that the
poor follow has counseled Mr. Buchanan in
state matters, as in no other way enu the wis
dom of his policy be accounted for.
As regards the Germans—l have traveled
no little among them and found them a very
industrious and hospitable people, but gener
ally not well informed as to the nature of the
political issues of the day. I state this as a
fact, and nobody knows it better than your
neighbor’s correspondent. Ho may attempt to
gloss it over with the slime and slaver of flat
tery, but the truth is as I state it to be.
Friend Young : There is probably no person
who docs not admire the strawberry for its de
licious and refreshing scarlet colored fruit, and
no one variety of fruit is so much sought after
by our rural 'population in its season ; hills,
rallies, and meadows, are each in .their turn
thoroughly scoured for miles aroiind to the
common annoyance of the farmer, whose crops
receive at times fatal injury from tho wander
ings of the strawberry hunter. Thus whole
days ate' spent in searching after that, which
every one should strive to make room for in
their gardens ; one hundred plants of any of
the choice varieties now in cultivation, properly
cared for, will yield sufficient fruit for a family
of six persons, and such fruit I no one can es
timate its value but those that have tried them.
One dozen berries equalling a pint of the un
cultivated fruit, and in point of excellence and
flavor, beauty and size, no comparison can be
given, they so far exoell. To those who are de
sirous of cultivating the strawberry, I will say
a few words, in regard to its propagation. It
succeeds best when transplanted in the Fall,
during the month of August and September,
and will yield a good crop the following season.
The ground is first to be prepared by prop
erly enriching it, and making it dean and mel
low. The amount of manuring must depend
greatly on the previous character and condition
of the soil. If naturally fertile, and if it has
been previously well manured, little need be
applied; if not largely composed of vegetable
matter, a quantity of leaf-mould or well pre
pared peat will be found very useful. Deep
and thorough spading and mixing of your fer
tilizing evenly through the soil is very essential
to the full development of the fruit. Plants
should he selected from the youngest well
rooted runners of the previous year. They
should he lifted out with a trowel, not pulled up
as is often done to the injury of the roots. All
the fully expanded leaves are to he cal off, leav-

an inch or an inch and a half thick, of fine

necessary, this mulch will keep the surface
moist and in proper condition. Treated in this
