Op the subjectjof a Tariff, the edilor is in dixecl

delates himself iu favor of a “larifc for revenue,
with autpU incidental protection, and Bay*:
‘■Pennsylvania is a Tarifl Stale. This is a set

dertakes to'wage a war U|>oo it,will derive little glory

It is the only policy that will enaWo the State to
meet her engagements. Oar-people ore shrewd
enough to know this, and, whatever they mdy be
told by artful politician*, their prosperity goes hand

Uires."
No Whig takes stronger grounds than tbu
With such Democracy we have no war.
‘ The next extract which we. shall take, deal* a
terrible blow upon those dinufbere-of the peace of
aociety, backed by the Pittsburgh Morning Post,
who dod their natural level in the Loco loco ranks.
It is as lollows. ‘
“Nothing can excite greater aslooistunenllbao
the obliquity of some few men in crur very midst,
who avow the most Hitter opposition to the manu
facturing interests. They belongloithe same class
of agitators whose vocation it has been to stir up
the pasrions and prejudices of ths operatives in
our factories, workshops, and rolling mills. -And
they have the insolence to do it in the name of the
Democratic party. We deoy their chmraissioo. If
we can help'll, the party shall not-lte held respon
sible /or their profligacy. What have they accom
plished for the pdrty in this county by lh»
mcal system' Let the fearful majority of 3,500 a»
gainst os answer. It lit well known that, at erery
great uud exciting election the influence and poli
cy of our opponents always carry along with them
the great mass ?f that very description of voter*,
to whom our agitator* address war reorutkan
smrfku jargon, aid who know that their, own
welfare is identified with the prosperity of oat
manufactures, and vote against those who attack
them. Such agitators might a*’well spare their
labor —f or jj] they effect is, to bring opprobrium on
the party whose name they prostitute, and to swell
the majority against us a! each Presidential elec
ton."
The names of those agitators will suggest them:
solve* to the rnfnd of every reader who has paid,
any attention to jhe passing events of the laxt lew
yeaif.
The extract winch follows i® a cruel one—a sub
under the fifth rib lo some of the most prominent
members of the Loeofoco party:
‘•U has been the fate of our party, in tku county,
for many years, to be cursed with the prominence
in our rants of noisy. brawling, selfish, mediating,
rotten politicians, — mQ n y of them WBw convekts,
who have devoted the best and only honest period
of their political career to the abuse and vilification
of the Democratic party; who are prompted by a
hm scent for the spoils; who signalise their new
born zeal by the most extravagant profession#, and
•re scarcely warm in their new berth till they as
pire to ail the nominations ao<f grasp at the enuro
•outrol of the party.”
these ' new converts’" We are almost
tempted to name a loog list which rises up before
us, who deserted the Whig ranks the very time
when Democracy was sinking |o tb6 level of Loco’
focoism. These “noisy, brawling. selfish, yacillalmg
rotten converts," all of whom, we believe without
exception, have been at one time or another either
office holders or candidates, will feel much obliged
to the Mercury for such a vivid portrait.
But we have another extract which we dp not
want our readers to lose—aa follows: —
“The-re is another incubus of a still more depress
ing character resting upon the ,party. AS the
Agrarians, Fourierites, Socialistic and other lazy
loafing dreamers and tchemets lit the community,
have foisted thernsehr-s upon us; and the party has
been stumbling along under the weight of iheir
odious and fanatical doctrines. Hy this cause a
very large share of the substantial moral worth,
influence and intelligence whlep of right belong
to us, have been driven from out . ranks, as em
bracing materials with which they can have no
fellowship. II -hull b» ° ur endeavor- .. far ■ »

What a confession' Had a Whig paper made
such a charge, it wonld have been called a villain
ous libel upon modern Democracy. But coming
from a Simon purfe Jeffersonian betnocratic paper?
we must acknowledge it* truths. It is only what the
intelligent and conservative of til parties have
loog seen. Bot what will the Mercury do with
these " Agrarians,” these “laxy loafing dreamer* and
schemer*,” this “load of filth and rubbish-” They can
find no place, of course, with tfcp “substantial
moral worth, influence and intelligence, n which the
Meraury acknowledges is to be found in the Whig
party. Where wiO they go 1 We fear they ore
Loco toco past remedy, and that if all this “filth) and
rubbish," and another large class which the Mer
cury has not named, which finds its level in the
tame social category, were thrown off, the Demo
cratic party wonld have dwindled.into a sorry in
significance. Wa hope, However, the editor of
the Mercury will have.briUiant success in cleans
ing the Augean stable he has *o eloquently and
-truthfully depicted; but he has o leak so herculean
before him, that it might nppal even the stoutest
heart, and if-he does not perish in the attempt, or
become so bedaubed with the filth and succumb
in despair to its influences, and thus become part

monument more durable ihan brass-

TdE HEW WATER BASIN.
Ma. Editor —l did aot sea the article of “Ob
server,'' iQ your paper of Monday, until this day,
else 1 would heve offered the following remarks at
an earlier.duy
It is true, that under a part of the »ite chosen
the basin is an old coal pit —although the word
“chosen'' is not applicable in the connection —for
the persons having the control ol the Wstar Works
had no choice in the mailer uf the site, the ground
having been purchased by the city several.years
ago, snd space enough not being on it for the Ha
sin, without extending over a part of the coal pits-
The second point is the injudiciousnea* of the
course pursued in the work of forming the basin.
Here some of the particulars are not correctly sta
ted. The. bottom of the bssin instead of being
within a few inches ol the coal, is laid six leet
above the top of the coal; but ihe material lytng
over some of the larger rooms, in the lapse of time,
has fallen in to such an extent to show the frac
tures m the bottom of the basin. Whether this
had been so or not, it was anticipated that all that
part ol the basin lying over the mined out portion
of the lull; would have to lie turned over, in order
to have oil the excavations filled up. When this
shall be done, the water will stand altogether above
the influence of the coal, being six feet nbovs the
r»f; autl roust lie secured against all comrauai
cation with it, whether at side or bottom—other
wise it would be impoasible to retain the water ui
the basin. -
Overlying the coal there is a thick stratum <_•( a
aorfof black, rotten lUd-same of it more resem
bling coal than shale—hot with scarcely any \uui
tpinous ot combustible properties, Which casual
observers' have taken for the coal vein.
U is erroneous to speak of “the adjoining coal
bed," if understood as being in the same level
with the water. But such would be the c@se.it
the plan were adopted ot “ excavating the whole
mass to the common coal levelf Nor woold the
-difficulty ot retaining the water" be leaaeoed by
the plan. .Because, even if the bottom ahooJd be
found to be >ubetaoUalf the aides would atill re
main a* porous a* at present And the same pre
caution necessary to render ihe sides Impervious to
water, could not fail to be edeclual. applied to both
the bottom and sides, in the present design.
According to the plan now being earned out,
none of {he material dug out requires to be haul
ed away, but is placed around the sides in the
form of embankment; whereas, if the plan ot
aiaking to the coal bottom had been pursued, the
whole contents of the basin would had to have
been hauled to a disiaoce. But that was not the
important objection. It is of the higktst impor
tance to the hill jwrtions of the city to have the
fountain of water placed at the highs-st accessi
ble point. And by the present design the water
will stand twelve feel higher than U the plan sug
gested by "An Observer" had been pursued.
Remarks, suggestions, and even objection*.
latiog to the conducting of the business of the
Water Work", particularly wheo offered m the
kindly spirit which marks the article of “Obser
ver," are always received with favor and atten
tion by the Watet Committee and the Superin
tendent; anil it might t»e well for casual obaerv
era, before expressing their opinion*, to reflect that
persons having the charge of planing and esteem
ing works are supposed to give due consideration
to the various plans and ways which suggest them
reive*, before the adoption ol any. and that atho
a plan may not be free-/tom objections, it mayne
rerthele** 1«t the best one. J. H. M

On Tnaspiaatlng Trees.
w emnst haven little famlhar conversation, inn
reonUi,ao the subject oftransplanting Trees. Our
nimarks will be intended, of course, for the unmiti
i Bot tn those who have grown wise wna ex
perience.
That there isa difficulty in transplanting trees the
multitude of complaints and inquiries winch beset
us, most abundantly prove. That it is, on the
other hand, a verv easy and simple process the
uniform success of skillful cultivators, as fully estab
lishes.
The dificulty iheu, lie* of course, m a want of
knowledge, on the part of ihe unsuccessful practi
tioner. This kind of knowledge may be staled,
broadly under two heads, vu: Ignorauce of the or
ganization of trees, and ignorance of the oeceasity'of
feeding them.
~T he flrst point is directly the most 'important, for
the process of transplanting is founded Upon it—
-Since this art virtually consists in removing, by*
violence, a tree from one spot to another, it is ab
•olutely necessary to know how much violence we
may use without defeating the end* in view. A
common soldier will, with a sword, cut off a man’s
limb, in such a manner that be takes his life away
with il A skilful surgeon will do the same thing,
in order to preserve life. There are alto, manifest
ly two ways of transplanting trees.
That the vital principle is a wonderful and mys
terious power, even in plants, it cannot tw denied.
But because certain tree*, as poplars and willows,
have enough of this power to enable pieces ol them
to grow, when stuck into the ground, like Walking
sucks, without toou.il does not follow that all other
tree* will do the same. There ure some animals
which swallow Prussic Acid wall impunity; but it
is a dangerous experiment for ait animals. What
we mean to suggest, therefore, is that he who
would be successful as a transplanter, must have
an almost religious respect for ihefroola of tho trees.
He must look upon them as the collectors of rev*
enue, the wardens ol the ports, the great viaducts
of all solids and fiuids that enter into the system of
growth and verdure, which constitutes the tree
proper. Uh, if one could only teach hewers of
“tap-root*.'’ and drawers of “Intermit,'* ibe valne of
the whole system of rooL*; every thing, in short,
that looks like, aod is a roJicuf; then would nine
tenths ol the difficulty ol transplanting be quite
overcome, and the branches might be left pretty
much to themselves'
Now. a tree, to be perfectly transplanted, ought
to be taken up with iu whole system of roots en
tire Thus removed and carefully replanted, at
the proper dormant season, it need not suffer a
loss ol the smallest bough and it would scaroely
feel its removal. Such things are done every year
with this result, by clever and experienced garden
ers. We have seen apple trees, large enough to
bear a couple bushels ol fruit, whn-h were removed
a dozen mile*, in the autumn, and made o luxuri
ant growth, and bore a fine crop next season.—
But the workmen who them had gone to
the r.X'l ol the 1-u-nirw he Undertook
The lact, however, cannot be denied, that in
common practice, there are a very Jew such per
lect workmen Trees in the nurseries,)
are olien taken up m basic m a lo** ol a third, or
even sometimes ball ot their roots, ami wheu re
ceive J by the trausplauler, (here is nothing lobe
done but make the Iwhl ol it
in order to do thu, we mint look a little m ad
vance in order to understand the phiio«oliv of
growth. In a few words, then, it muy be assumed,
that in a healthy tree there is an exorl “balance
ol |iouer" l>etween ihe root* and the branches
The first may t** said to represent the -tomach,
ami the second the lungs, and perspiratory sytlein.
The first collect food for the tree, the other elabo.
rate* and prepares this food. You can, therefore,
no more make a violent attack upon the root with
out the leaves aud branches suffering harm by it,
than you can greatly injure the stomach of an ani
mal without disturbing the vital action ol all the
resl of its system
In trees and plants. perhaps, this proportional
independents i* *nll greater For instance, the
leaves, and even the hark of a tree, continually
set as the perspiratory system of thni tree. Every
clear day, in a good they give off many
pound* weight ol fluid matter—beingthe more wa
tery portion oi the element absorbed by the roots—
Now. it is plain, thal if you destroy in transplanting,
one third of the roots of a tree, you have, as soon
as the leave* expand, a third more lung* than you
keep in acl'on The perspiration is vastly beyond
what the root* can make; and unlus* the the sub
ject is one of unusual vitality, or the weather is
such as to keep down perspiration by coortant
dampness, the leave* must dag, and the tree partly
or wholly periah.
The remedy, in eases where yon must plant a
tree whose roots have Ween mutilated, t* after
carefully paring off the end* ol the wounded roots,
to enable them to heal inure speedily,) to icslure
the 'balance of power.’ by bringing down the per
spiralory system, in other word*, ihe branches, to
a corree{>omling »tale that i« :,> «ay, is theory, il
your trees has lost a fourth of it* roots, take off an
equai amount ol its branches.
This ;* tne correct theory. The practice, how*
o'T. forters with the climate where the trans
planting ink*-* p.ace Thu is rviJenv if we re
member that the perspiration ;•> governed by the ;
rnuouul oi cunsiiine and dry »<r The more oil
there, the greater the demand made for the moist* j
lure mi ihe roots. Hence the reason why debeale ;
cuttings strike root readily under a bell glass, and
why transplanting is as easy as sleeping in rainy
weather lu Eugiand, therefore, it is much easier
to transplant large trees than on the comment, or tn
tin* country, so easy, that Sir Henry Stewart mode
parka ol' flAy feet trees with bis transplanting ma
chine, almost as easily and as quickly aa Captain
Bragg make* a park of artilcry. But be who tries
this sort of fence work in the sun-shine of the
United Slates, will find (hat il is like undertaking
to beseige GibraJter with cross bow*. The trees
•tart into leaf, and all promises wrtl. but nnieaa un
der very favorable cireumsUooesjlke leave* beggar
the roots,by tbeir demands for more sap, before Au
gust is ball over.
We mean to (be understood, therefore, that we
think il safest in practice, in ttu.* part of the world,
when vou are about lo plant a tree deprived of
its root*. lo reduce (he branch#* a little below, this
same proportion To reduce them to precisely an
equal proportion, would preserve the balances, if
the ground about the roots coaid be kept uniform
ly-moisi But. with the chaoCesof its becotm&g
partially dry at tune*, you must guard against Ibe
leaves flagging, by diminishing their number at the
first sUrt. As every leaf and branch, made offer
growth fairly commences, will be accompanied
simultaneously by uew roots, the same w,II tho be
provided lor as a mailer of course
The 4 neate« way of reducing the lop ot a tree,
ia order not to deal my its natural symmetry, is lo
shorten back, the young growth of the previous
season. We know a most successful planter who
alwsys. under all circumstances ahurtent-back*
the previous year * wood, on transplanting, to ooe
bud, that i*. he cut? oil iba summer's growth down
lo a good plump bud, just abuvethe previous year's
wood But this i« n<U always necessary A few
inches where Ibe growth has been afoot or morej
will usually be all mat is necessary, ll is only ne
cessary to watch the growth of a transplanted tree
trraled in this way, with one of the same kind
uoprunrd. to compare tbe clean, vigorous new
•hoots, that will be made ibe first season by the
former, with thejleoder and feeble oaes of the lot
ter in !»e perfectly convinced ol the vaioe ot lbs
practice of shortening iq transplanted trees.
Tbe necessity ol n proper supply otfood for trees
is a point that we shoold o.>t have to insist upon
if, starving tree? had the power of crying out, like
starving pig*.— I'nluckily, they have oot. and. there
fore, inhuman and ignorant cultivator? will feed
their rattle and let their orchards starve to death
Now, it i* |>erierlJy demonstrable to * man who has
Jhe use ot hi? eyes, that a tree can be fatted to re
pledon that it may be made to grow thriftily and
well, or that it tnay be absolutely starvrd to death,
a? certainly a? a Berkshire. It is not enough {un
less a man has rich bottom Innd-l to plant a tree in
onler lo have a satisfactory growth, and a speedy
gratification mn« fruit and foliage You must pro
vide a supply ol food for ,i at tbe mjtsel.'an.l renew
it a* often s? necesssry during its lifetime. He who
does this, w.ll have five lime? the profit and ten
times the suoafnclion of the careless and sluggish
man. who grudge? the Gbor and expense of a little
extra feeding lor the rout? The cheapest dad best
food for tree* wiih most farmer*, i* a mixture ol;
swamS muck, and stable immure, which has lam
j..r *od)o two or three month* together. The best
manure perhaps, is the «umt> muck, or blnck peat,
reduced to an active stale with wood Bahe*. A
wheel barrow load ol ihn. compost, mixed with the
•oil.for each transplanted trer, will give it a supply i
of food that will produce a growth of leaf and j
young wood that will dj one s heart good to look I
upon.
Any well decomposed animal manure may be
freely used in planting tree?; always thoroughly in
corporating it with the whole of the soil that has
been stirred, and oot throwing it directly about the
roots.
There are. bow*evrr. some improvident men who
will plant tree? without having any food at hand,
except manure in a crude state. "Whnt shall we
do," they ask, -when wc have only fresh tlnhle
manure," perhaps we ought to answer—“wait til]
you have something better " But since they will
do something at once, or not si all. we must give
them a reply, and thi? >?, make your hole twice as
large and. twice as deep as you would if you had
suitable compost. Then bury part of the fresh man
ure below the depth where the roots will at first he
(nixing it with the soil, treading the whole down
well to prevent Msitling, and covering the whole
with three inches of enrth, upon which to plant tbe
tree Mix the rest with the soil, and put it .at the
side* of Ihe hole, keeping the manure both at the
side? aod bottom, far enough away, that the roots
ot the tree shall not ranch it lor two months. Then
plant the tree in some nflhe best good soil you osn
procure.
i )ne of tbe safest and bert general fertiiixera that
that can be used m transplanting at all times, and
in all soil*, ia leached wood a«bes A couplo of
shovelful!* of this may he used (intermixed with
•Oil) about the roots of every tree, while replanting
it with great advantage. Lime aod potaab, the two ,
largest orgnuic con?utuent* of all trees, are most j
abundantly supplied by wood-ashes; and hence its
utility in ail our soils.
We have, previously, so largely insisted on the
importance ofirenchtag and deepening the soil in
in all cases where trees are to be planted, that We
trust our readers know that is our platform. If any
man wishes lo know how to improve the growth of
any Iran in the climate oftbe United Statei, the first
word we haveto say to him, is to “trench your soil.”
If your soil is exhausted, if your soil is thin and poor,
if it ia dry, and you suffer from drought, iho,remedy'
is the same; deepen iL If you have much lo do
and economy must be considered use the tubsoii
plough; if a few trees only are to be planted in the
lawn garden, use the spade. Always remember
that the roots of trees will rarely go deeper than
the natural soil,(say from lb to 12 inches on thea
veragej and that by trenching two or three feet
deep you make a double soil and, therefore en-
large your “area of freedom” for the roota. aod givo
them twice as much lo feed upon, .if you are a
beginner, and are skeptical, make • trial of a few
square yards, slant a treo in it, and tbeo judge for
yoomlvea— Hertuulturut.
