Potato Dlirsae.
The disease oftae potatoes ia, however, not
?nly the continence f the bad weather we have
V.iJ al( et Europe, Spain and Italy not etc
pteil, but the natural progress of a decay to
which that vegetable Y subject, if not counter
acted by judicious mean. One of the teat Ger
ms Botanists observed the disease gradually in
creasing for the last ten years, mud propounded
s sue of t.e fcest means of arresting its progress
which he tried successfully to raise them eve
sy three years from the seed j believing that
the nstrol way of planting ceased the vegetable to
d.-generate rn that period. The President of the
AgriewTtaral Society of the Prnssian Province of
the Rhino, -published, however, a few days ago,
his own observations, "which, as they are short
and to the point, I venture here to repeat. Ac
cording to his observation, the disease is of a
two fold kind: one which injures the crop but
does not spoil it, and the other which rendeis the
vegetation unfit for nutriment. The former case
i in which the leaves above ground wither arid
fall; this seldom materially injures the potato,
especially if the green above ground is immedi
ately cut down ; and the latter takes place when
the stem above ground becomes dampand putrid,
in which case the potato is always more or less
affected with the same symptoms, and no longer
fit for nourishment. Causes of the disease are
the manner ol planting them ; an unfit time at
which they are planted, and the little rare which
is taken in preserving vegetable which posses
ses such abundant powers of reproducing and
multiplying itself. Thus the fall potatoes, in
stead of being planted, as they ought to be, in
May, are only put into the ground in June or Ju
ly. The vegetable when gathered in the fall is
then scarcely ripe, or being too young and moist,
becomes easily heated, and in that state unfit to
be used as seed. It is nevertheless from such po
tntoes, in a state too in which they already began
to sprout, that the new crops are raised, the bet
ter onps being usually brought to market and
sold. If the potatoes used for planting be care
fully raised in a proper soil, and properly pre
served until used fur planting, there is no reason
to apprehend a diseased crop, or a crop deficient
in tpiantity. For this purpose, he recommends
the fallowing process for railing "planting po
tat.es Take a field wifh a licht (somewhat sandy)
soil, plough it well, twit do not manure it, or man
ure it very little ; plant your seed, or your pota
toes (which most be trie driest you can obtain,
and having as yet no spouts,) latest on the 10th
of May.ar.d take care not to plant them too near
each other. Let the vegetable remain in the
ground till September, that is till the green part
above the ground is entirely withered and gone,
and when you at last have gathered them, dig a
ditch in the earth about two and a half feet wide
and two feet deep, in which they will keep better
than mi any place above ground. The ditch must,
of coarse te covered. -Straw and earth are the
best and rsiest convenient substances for this pur
pose. Tiiese potatoes, when used tlie folia wing
spring for planting, will materially improve the
crop, especially if but the stoutest are employed,
which ought never to be cut in more than two, at
the utmost three parts, two three hourt at fur
thest before bang placed ut the toil.

time since, with the aid o microscopes, discove
red peculiar species of insect in every rotten

er the insect is the cause or the consequence of
the disease, so that lie discovery thus far is of no
valee in practice, Practiced economists and far
mer have assured me that raising potatoes every
three or four years from the seed seas always
sufficient to keep them ber!thy,unless when, as

K7"V. B. Pai.mkr's Advertising ami Nkws-

Palmer, alter several years of perseverance anil

cy on such a basis, as wit', in some measure re
ward him for his services, as wet I as benefit those

and therefore, 'knows how to appreciate the ad
vantages to city dealers in adveitising m str4i pa
pers. Advertising in city papers is well enough
foi city customers, whose business it is to con
sult the advertising columns of their pspers dai
ly, but a country merchant would despair fuel
ing an advertisement in the compact columns of (
the daily papers, if he were even to search for it.
In country papers, advertisements are compara
tively few, and fall at a glance under the eye of
every reader. The true and only way by which
city dealers can make themselves and their busi
ness extensively known, is through the medium
of the country press. The obliging disposition
of Mr. Talmer his promptness, punctuality and
excellent business habits, has fitted him most ad
mirably tor the business which he has adopted.
and which few minds less energetic and perse-
vermg could Tiave originated.

inventions and fish stories, that would have done
no discredit to "Synliad the Sailor" or Baron
Munchausen himself.
We wonder if the editors really suppose that
Tle deimocracy -of NerTnionSeTland county are so
gullible, thatfhey could lie niadeln swallow such
rank nonsense, without some little sTsrinkling of

There certainly must

They will servr their own imprests ami do much

DOi-a Prosmxts. As there are two dem
ocratic candidates lor the Senate, in the field, ma
ny democrats despair of electing either. We
have, however, information from Dauphin coun
ty, upon which we can rely, whU h i issue es us to
believe that there is every reasonable prospect
of the election of Major Dewart. He will get a
large majority of the democratic votes there, and
the whig party, are so much dissatisfied with the
nomination of Mr. Jnrdon, that w are assured
be cannot beat Major Dewart more than S00
votes. Mr. Mackey, the Sutioe candidate, will
divide the whig vota w ith Jordan, and thus se
cure the election of Dewart. The tiuedemecra-
cy in the Fork will go for Dewart, and the de
cnocrats on this side of the river will vote for
him, with very few exceptions. Il they do so,
aud we have no doubt they will, Major Dewart
must beat Jordan 600 or 800 votes in this county,
which lenders his election certain. Let every
Democrat rally in favor of Dewart, and prevent
the whig from having a majority in the next Sen-
I ate. Foster cannot run at home, and every vote
I riven to him here, is aiding to elect a w hig.
K7" Sknatoh. The election of Senator in
this district, it of more importance to this neigh
borhood than it generally supposed.' ' Tho pro
ject ol a rail road from Philadelphia to Erie,
has been revived and is tiow agitating the public
mind. There are two rail routes:' one through
Ilarrisburg and the counties bordering on the Ju
niata; the other bf Pottsville, Sunbnry,' Wil
liamsport and the valley of the West Branch.
The friends or each route, are warmly and active
ly engaged in advocating their respective inter
ests ; and it is of vast importance to have a man
in the Senate in favor of the northern route. Let
the people of this county look to their interest.
The construction of this rail road through this
county, would enhance the value of piopcr'y fif
ty per cent. Elect a Senator from this county,
and your interest in this matter will be protec
ted. ' ' ' '
K7" Edward Y. P.nn;iir. It is admitted by
alt, that Mr. Bright represented the people ably
and faithfully. Ilis ability and attention to his
duty as a member of the Legislature are conce
ded. There is no fault found with him. Why
thenslirmtd he not be re-elected? Reeause, it is
said, he has heen elected for two years in suc
cession, and ought to give way to a new man.
This rule of electing a man but two years
never obtained in this county, and we hope never
will. It is a bad rule. It turns manout of his
" - - - .... -
office just when he has acquired the knowledge
necessary to enable him to perform its duties
properly, and deprives the people of the benefit
of his experience Let the people reward a
faithful public servant by re-election, and their
interests will be much better cared for and the
sessions of the Legislature shortened. It is the
inexperience of new members, that retards the
public business and lengthens the session.
K7 Thomas A. Hii.t.lJHiloi. This gentle
man will undoubtedly be elected to the office of

Dra a Sir : Things look well here for the tri
umph of the democratic randidate. Major Dew
art will get 19 out of 20 of all the democrats in
Halifax, Jackson and Jefferson townships. Ha
milton Alricks and C. F. Muerirh, have been in
this pait of the country to urge Foster, but I
have not found a spot where they have made the
least impression.

Ditar Sir : Major Dewart well run well here.
I will not he surprised if he gets more votes in
both wards of ihie borough, than either Foster
or Jordan. Rely upon it' Jordan cannot beat
Dewart more than 400 votet in this county. Fos
ter will get about 700 democratic votes, and
Mackey the Native candidate, will take more
than that number from Jordan, so there is every
prospect of Dewart's election.
Minnuios K, Oct , 1S4.V
Dt. Sia: A democrat upon whom I can rely,
tells we tttat Mr. Dewart will beat Jordan in his
owo township, lie will get every democratic
vote in this sown, and will run ijuile as well in
the whole lower end of the comity. Foster is too
well known as one of the ld Hunkers and disor
ganizes to run ht-re. If NorllniTnterUod coun
ty does her duty, Dewait's elertion is safe.
CyTiiK Mauvi.ank Ei.tcnow. The restdtcf
the election on the 1st inst., is the election of!
four Democrats to Coagress and two Whigs, be-
in ir a Democratic eain of four members. The ,
House of Delegates stands, so far, 39 Deo-scrats
and 31 Whigs. Last year there were but SI
Democrats in the House. The Senate will be
still Whie. as there was lrt ie to he elected
this year, which is filled by a Democrat.
Z7 A correspondent of the Farmer's Library,
thus writes about trees. We hope the good ad
vice given, may not be lort by our readers in this
section of lountry :
"I wi di I eontd set hundreds of men planting
trees who seern to delight in worse labors. 1
I love trees, and I love the men who planted
iheelmsot New-IIaveu, Newark, and those of
the sweet villago I live in. Why does not
every man plant out a tree many Ireca ! In
Providence there are some noble elms which I
saw planted only twenty years ago ! A ninn
iy see tlie result of his labors, and his children
wcaihl he pnsid to point out tli tret, the old
ancestral trees,' of his forefather' planting.
Men inay rail at tin! world as inocli as they
plruw, but it ttruutiful one, and it we are I
wily cheerful and active in it, will become yet
more beautiful. Nearly all the beauty of a resi
dence, a village, a country town, arises from its
tree; and mot only shmld every n an carefhlly
adorn his own habitation, but men should club
together to beam ify their vicinage. The strong
attachment Mt by men in Mnglind to Iwme-
leads arises in no email degree from thep-iina

by a previous generation."

ex-Speaker to the House of Representatives, of
which body he had been a member for ten years,
and at the time of bis death Judge of the 19th
Judicial District of Kentucky. lie shot himself
with a pistol on the 23nd, at his own residence,
and though no definite information has been given
to the public as to the cause, it is surmised that
pecuniary embarrassments led to the commission
of the deed. Mr. White was a man of integrity,
high attainments, a huband and a father, and
very closely endeared to a large circle of fiiends
and acquaintance.
- For the American. 1
Mb. F.niTon. As the time for holding the
approaching election is near at hand, permit me
to say a few words in regard to tome of the can
didates now in the Meld. Circumstances not to
be controlled, have caused some dissention in our
ranks, of which disappointed expectants will of
roiirso take advantage. In regard to our next
Senator, I think there is but one course, and that
is, to support Wm. L. Dewart, who was nomina
ted by a large majority of the delegates of this
county, and w ho, for the sake of harmony, was
willing to yield his claims to a third man, a pro
posal which the Dauphin conferees obstinately
rejected. lie is, therefore, emphatically the
democratic tandidute of the district, and should
receive the vote of every true democrat., ...
In regard to the Sheriff, we think there can be
no doubt of the election of Mr. Billingtnti. It
was long since known that he was the choice of
j a large portion of the democracy of the county.
Hence the designs and tricks of his less popular
opponents and their friends, who have left no
thing undone to injure his character and defeat
his election. Mr. Rillington is a young man of
an obliging disposition, active and persevering

For Commissioner we think no democrat
ought to doubt how he should vote. Charles
Weaver is undoubtedly the choice of a large ma
jority of the party. He has long been an active,
xealous democrat. Mr. Yandling, his opponent, j doubt the work of the Cameron wing of toe lo
says in his advertisement, that he would have i co party, who widely concluded that if Dewart
received the nomination if the convention had not w"" defeated and Jordan elected, Ihev would
been broken up. Now this is not the fact, and
the case is just the reverse. Mr. Weaver was
willing to go with Mr. Yandling to the delegates
who had 'eft the convention, and ask them who
they intended to support, and agreed, if a majori
ty were in favor of Mr. Yandling. that he would
give up. This, however, did not snit Mr. Yand
ling. It has long been the settled practice 1hT a
commissioner should live in Sunhiiry, who would
always be on the spot to transact business when
he was wanted. It was for this reason, that Mr.
Marlz was defeated a few years since, although
on the ticket. He was placed on the ticket con
trary to the old rule, and the people then show
i e.l, as they will again show, that the office was
j made for their convenience and not for the bene
fit of the office holder. We had nothing against
I Mr. Martz himself, and afterwards when his turn

came
elected him by a latce majority. Mr.
Weaver is as well qualified for the office as any
or the other candidates, and in many respects
would make a better officer.

five hundred boildings ia different stages of pro

completed are two hotel of the largest class, and
a large number of splendid warehouses on Wood,

To the Independent Voters of Northumberland
v n county.
, Fit.row Citkcns ! Yoe are r.o doubt aware
that I have been nominated for Senator, and that
I bavsi acceptad the nomination.
The last Miltonian treats my nomination as
"a faice, a humbug and a Loco Foco movement."
I will now show thut my nomination is neither
"a farce nor a humbug." And as to its being a
"Loco Foco movement," I pronounce untrue,
and challenge the editors to the proof. I was
nominated by the conferees of the Native Amer
ican party of Northumberland and Dauphin
counties ; a party, whose political principles and
devotion to our country's welfare, will compare
with any political party in the land. And on
the same day that I received notict of my no
mination, by the conferees, I also received let
ters from several of the most influential whigs in
Dauphin county, on the subject of my nomina
tion, from which I will make a few extracts,
which will enable the reader to judge whether
my nomination, or the nomination made by the
j whig conferees, was a "Loco Foco movement."
The first writes as follows :
"Mn. Mac kky, I rejoice to learn that you

Itiiuk for a candidate, and lak a man who is so
notoriously under Cameron influence ss to make
it virtually a lorn foco nomination. It wsa nn
still nave a Iriend at f nurt. IJut the Whigs of
I Dauphin are nut so easily gulled, as the election
) Hill show. I have been informed, on cc au

j The above is a fair and impartial statement of
; the farts connected wilh my appearance before

' nomination as above stated, and as will be seen
, by the foregoing, was strongly urged by some in
fluential whigs of Dauphin, to run, with the asn
i ranee, that in addition to the Native vote, I
would receive a larpe majority of the whig party
1 of Daunhin. inasmurh ihv ,.1 i
Jordan the choice of the whig party.
In reference to my political principles, I need
say nothing. They have been sufficiently avow
ed to be generally known. I am willing to "Fight
on, Fight ever" for the establishment of those
j principles, believing thein to be interwoven with
every fibre of onr country's prosperity, and the
j perpetuation, of oar civil and religious institu
tions. And believing also, lhat the whig party
at the late Presidential election, was defeated by
: the most flagrant abuse of the inestimable right
I of suffrage, 1 am in favor of the enactment of
such laws, as will protect our ballot boxes from
foreign influence, and to make our elections A
men'em in their tendency.
Fellow Citizen: If the -principles I profess
meet your approbation, and you deem my char
acter and qualifications SMfTicient, I respectfully
solicit yor snffrages, and 1 pledge myself if
elected, to discbarge the duties of Senator with
an rye single to the welfare and prosperity of
our common country. THOS. S. MACKEY.

here whose systems are perfectly Maturated
with mercury, and when they come out or" the

the wet sheet we arc plunged into a cold bath
and rubbed down for about fifteen minutes, and
then storted off to walk some three or four mile
before breakfast at 1 1 or 12 o'clock, douche

from 15 to 20 feet nr. all part of the body
rubbed down and walked again at 5 o'clock a
hipbath, and at night a footbath. During the
, intervals we walk, and drink water to the a-
innuul of 80 glasses per day.
