thus desert old friends and cherished prin

they are instantaneously transferred from
" Tory Whigs" into " brother laborers in

let them go where one aristocratic Whig j
Slave-holder strikes hands with the Nave
ry Democracy, a score of true Northern
men, freedom-loving, renounce it!
-How oft in pure KelintotiV nam
lla human blood been itpilt!"
"0 Liberty, what crimes are practiced in
thy name !" But the recent prostitution
of the Democratic party organization to the
one object of propagating Slavery, has driven
f .. k thousands of honest men who
tidilied most of all are inosl of all appealtd
to as patriots and statesmen! Alas! and
aluck ! that the pany late so proud and haugh

should be compelled to j-etnpon its knees and
be?; its old-time enemies lo forgive them ilieir
unceasing wicked slanders and preserve them
from deserved desliuclion by those of their
ow n household ! !
By "niffocr-worship" and '.hot-brained fa
naticism," of course is intended a beln l in
the doctrine that "All mankind are created
equal, and are endowed by their Creator with
certain inalienable rights, among which are
life, liberty, and the persuil of happiness; that
to secure incse rights, governments are in
siiiuted among men. denying their just pow
ers from the consrnl of the gnverHnl" the
"hot-brained fanaticism" of '70. Those who
believe in and inculcate ihe Golden Rule, are
considered as"in.j-er-worshipers" ay modern
democrats of Ihe Tierce-anil Douglas sellout.
The same charge of "abolitionism" was made
againsi Harrison.Clay Seott, and many others;
it is now l..o stale to deceive any but the very
weakest minds, ju-t as "the black man" is
occasionally called upon to terrify small chil
dren only. The prostration of the bogus-democracy
lo Slavery, is ihe only true ' nigger
worshiping" of our day; Ihey retard Slavery,
apparently, as- the greatest of all interests ;
and many, we fear, "worship" il, more than
their Creator! Man-worship is always a
f..lly, and n Rin : but to contend for ihe "ina
lienable rights of man," is no act of devotion.
Justice to all men, may consist w ith worship
of none; and Slavery is not only a wrong lo
ihe colored man, but it is also agreivous evil
lo the whites, whether rich or poor, but espe
cially to the poor. In striving against Ihe
spread of Slavery, we strive for our cwn wel
fare, and for Ihe weal of generations yet jo
come. In helping .slavery into Kanas,there
fore, is shown genuine "nigger worshiping,"
well entitling the agents and abettors of ihe
scheme to the title of the "Black Democracy."
Gov. M'Diltlie argued that ' Slavery is the cor-ner-sione
of our republican edifice jJ!,1t'1Jflliers
found is the homaze J
re'i'lfer jTrating about "midnight, secret, oath
bound associations," is all a sham. Tii De
fiwrrnry supports Know Kuthing in pnfrrtme
to Wings, as might be illustrated by many eje- j
amples. And, for half a century, the Tam
many Society a close corporation of the aris
tocracy of Democracy has mainly ruled lliat
party. The Albany Kegency ihe Miami Tribe i
of Cincinnati had every objectionable fea- j
ture of secrecy. In many places, Ihe chill lia
ble association of Free-Masonry is made a
more ertective.as sectet.as faithful, and a bet
ter managed political engine than the Ameri
can order. The "Sag Nichl" or Say Nothing
organization has lo day more of the "sicken
ing. dark lantern effluvia" about it, than ever
had the Know Xothings. The "Turner" Ger
man bands were a right arm of Democracy,
until Slavery became its leading principle.
The varied Irish associations thioughout ihe
land led by priests, who are governed by
their liish -ps, wfi i receive their cue from the
Pope are aim... t .1 not quite exclusively ad
juncts of Deiimcriey. The Pieree-party have
nothing to say of these secret orders by
which they have ruled, and by which Ihe
Alien's voles have often overborne the Native.
In ihe North, the American order, (now as
open, in most places, as ihe Whig party was
or as churches or other benevolent associa
tions are.) is opposed to the Slaveocranc-De-miicracy,
and is therefore 1 aded with all pos
sible abuse; while all Ihe other secret organ
izations pass without a word of condemnation!
It is true, also, that the Democratic leaders
at first asserted that Mi' American fiarly is
only thr old H'inf party ovrr ogu.u same men
same measures Democrats, beware!" Bui
when ihey saw such old sland-by Democratic
counties as Susquehanna, llradford, Tioca,
Poller, Clinton, Centre, Perry, ic.Ac, break
their ranks, and come out against them and
when they saw every Northern State turn and
elect Opposition Governors or Congressmen,
Ihey chanced their tune, swall iwed their own
words, and now protest that Whigs and Amer
icans are nut ihe same thing, and in the hope
of dividing their antagonists are applauding
and admiring the very Whigs they had abused
without siint for a quarter of a century!
"Divide and eonquer" the las! hope of Slave
Democracy. The Whigs and the Free Demo
cracy, united, wnuld sweep Slave-Demociacy
from every Northern State, preserve Freedom
where she has a right to it, and administer the
Government on Republican principles.
And why should the opponents of the Kan
sas iniquity divide, and lose the power ihey
possess! The Whigs well know that it was
the Catholic vole which ihese Slaveites, who
now "kiss to betray," used to defraud Hekbt
Clat that the same Alien vote defeated Wm
pi eld Sc..tt! Every Whig knows it was the
Slavery interest which annexed Texas, and
which incites all the filibustering, piratical
attempts that demoralize our people, and dis
grace us before the world ! They know that
this Democracy, Slavery, and Ihe Foreign in
fluence a precions trio cheated them out
of a good Tariff law still prevent the Old
State from receiving ihcir share of the pro
ceeds of the Public Lands, while giving mill
ions of acres to the New Stales and will not
allow the fresh water Harbors of the free
North West to receive the same advantages
as the Seabord Harbors. With such facts
staring them in the face, why should Whigs
throw themselves into the arms of the self
same men, and promote the self-same meas
ures, which have ever been antagonistic lo
them There is no reason whatever for a
sane Whig to stultify himself by such a cour-e.
His true policy is lo oppose the men, the mea
sures, and Ihe agencies which he believes
have ever been opposed lo the interests and
honor of bis country. To go over to our an
cient antagonists, and be swallowed np by
them, because the best of those formerly op
posed are coming half-way lo us, would be the
height of folly. There is not one in a hun
dred true Northern Whigs who will takesacu
a ridiculous step; and when one does, the
cackling of the Slave Democracy over bis
"conversion," is as amusing as to see a dozen
selling hens clucking around one poor chick
en, or a half-score of militia officers training''
one private ! m
.V.ie a-r ntitkmifi principlrs, everything."
"Men, change ; but principles, never." W hile
Whigs surrender none of iheir . pinions, and
while Democratic Americans and Ri publicans
do not become Whigs, yet each can and do
meet upon one platform to overthrow the pre
sent corrupt Administration. They consider
their highest duty is to their whole country ;
and that their first work is as our faihets
thoughi in '76 to turn out the present tyran
nical government, and put in its place one
that shall respect human rights, regard plish
ted faith, and promote our republican nation
ality. In this patriotic work, they are not lo
be frightened by party names or catch-words,
or deluded by the ellorts of a wtley foe to sow
discord in th.-ir ranks. The "sheet-brawlers"
trying thai game, waste their ink and their
temper, f..r "Democrats and hontst Whirs"
remember well thai the same pens thai now
canonize Adams, Webster, Ac, hunted them
to iheir graves with detraction and calumny.
They may deify "ihe immortal Clay" in 1K)6,
but the people will recollect "the Bloody
Hand" ihey save him in 1M1. They remem
ber thai although Clay was involved in Ihe
evils of Slavery and saw not how to be rid of
it where it existed, yet he regarded the Mis
souri Compromise as sacred as the Constitu
tion itself, and in his last speech declared ihat
no human power could compel him lo vole
to allow Slavery lo extend lo soil once dedica
ted to Freedom. And this is the issue for the
coming campaign FKF.KDOM FDR KAN
SAS! aud for that end, "noble, patriotic, old
line Whigs," Americans, and n.'pulilicaus,
and all who believe in "human rights" and
honor and truth, should waive every minor
wuh and preference, and unite as one nian.

April proves, on the contrary, that Roger
Williams, the first Baptist preacher in
America, advocated "soul-liberty" before
Calvert's colony was formed.and in found
ing Rhode Island practiced the principle
fully. But the claim for Calvert is futile
in point of fact as well as of time. Origi
nally a Protestant, his charter was granted
by l'rotestaut priuccs, who bad a partiality
for the man ; but the Company comprised
Protestants as well as Catholics; the King
was willing the Catholics should enjoy a
share in Colonial speculations, provided
they did not oppress 1'rotestauts ; and as
a matter of enurse,he l'rotestants engaged
in the enterprise demanded eipial rights,
or ihey would never have participated. It
was then, simply a matter of self-interest,
by which they were governed, in allowing
tm supremacy of either church. In the
history of Maryland, however,it soon hap
pened that the Catholics obtained su
perior advantages, and certain tbeological
opinions were proscribed. The whole
truth is: Maryland was never a Catholic,
but a mixed colony, obtaiuing her original
powers from l'rotestaut sources, and never
enjoyed perfect religious freedom until af
ter the Revolution ; whereas, Roger Will
iams, with company wholly l'rotestants,
before receiving any charter, allowed per
fect "soul-liberty" as a riuht of every
man. What the true Catholic spirit of
that day was, Canada, Louisiana, Mexico,
and the other American colonies settled
wholly by Catholics, show ! What the
rent Catholics did when they had ihepow
er, let the massacres, inquisitions and other
memorials of Catholicism tell ! Iiow much
Catholicism "tolerates," let the Catholic
governments of our own day and age, tes
tify t Catholicism "tolerates" when she
can not prevent; but give ber the power
and she is just what she is in Spain, in
Rome, in Naples !

SALT AS A HA1MURE. I
Inoue of bis works, Cuthbert W. John
sou asserts that rait is at preft-nt much !
used by the English Agriculturists in the
forinatiou of composts, und speaks of its ,
effects as being highly valuable and eftVa- ;
cious, especially on sandy soils. Every
farmer is perhaps aware of the fact, that
the depredations of many insects which ;
usually prey with great avidity upon plants
and tender vines, arc prevented by the op- !
plication of salt. A weuk trine, not ex- j
ceeding tbe strength of r vntir, proves a '
remedy lor the "squash destroyer," one of
the insidious and persevering, as wcH as
voraciously destructive enemies with which i
the gardener and fiuit-grower is called lo
couteud It is also a most effectual pre- j
ventive of ojih iilnn, or plant lice, vermin
which prey upon the cabbage and turnip
tribes. In every instance of tbe applica-
tioo of brine to these vegetables that has
fallen uudor our observation, its success
has beeu complete. No injury need be
apprehended from a very liberal applica-1
lion, say one quart to a plant, if the solu
tion be of the strength indicated. All the
cabbage tribe are liable to be attacked and
fatally injured by the minute maggots,
resembling, very nearly, the maggots in
cheese, and which are doubtless the larrct
of some fly. There is another eni niy.also,
by which they are frequently iufestcd a
small grub, hiinilar, in many respects, to
those found in corn and potato bills, and
which not unfriqtiently prove very destruc
tive. Salt, water annlied to the bills will
have a tendency to arrest their depreda
tions, and if the application be repeated
fr. qneutly, say once iu two or three days,
H win . a.-. ny j . , i - .
The water, however, should not be allowed
to come in contact with the foliage,in this
instance, but should be applied to the soil
immediately arouud the stalks, but with
out coming in actual contact with them.
To destroy the first named iiisects, it may
be applied iu a state sufficiently dilute to
admit of a perfect ablution of every part
of the foliage ; but as we said before, care
must be taken not to make it too strong,
or it will destroy tbe plant. Every c ok
knows, or ought lo know, that the wash
ing of cabbage, lettuce, spinsch, ie., in
salt water before cooking or preparing for
the table, is sure to expel every species of
insects which so frequently seeks a habi
tation or a shelter in these vegetables.
Root Culture.
In order to bring about a better state of
affairs in farm economy, we sn-ze the occa
sion to urge upon every owner of a home
stead, to umtt i lake the vulture of an m-re
or tiro nf I'arsnijis, Carrots aud Maujle
IViirtzil
The same amonnt of labor that will se
cure a heavy crop of Corn, will enable the
grower to raise from 500 to 800 bushels
of either of these kind of roots to the acre. I
Believing as we do that the interest of .
the owner of an estate would be promoted i
by the better care of stock to say nothing
of the claims of humanity, we have, from
year to year, urged the culture of roots as
one of the agents by which the object can '
be effected, and now call upon our friends ,
most earnestly, though deferentially, to '
come up to the good work without delay '.
And with the view we will endeavor to,
point out the way in which the roots that
we recommend to be drilled in early this -
mouth may be grown. First, then, we
will begin with
PARSNir-S,
which is admitted to be among the first
roots in value for feeding m'lch cows, be
ing tbe kind that the farmers of the
island of Guernsey feed their far-famed
cows upon
The parsnip delights most in a deep,
light sandy loam, although it will grow in
any friable loamy soil, the deeper the soil j
the better. The soil in which it may be '
grown must be either naturally fertile, or
it roust be made so by generous manuring, j
As when, unobstructed, the parsnip'
penetrates the ground to considerable
depth, it would be best to itVsil the
ground in which it may be planted; but
if that should be cousidcrd too trouble
some, or to involve too much labor, plow
as deep as a strong team can sink your
plow into the ground, barrow it well; then
put on 15 two-horse cart loads of well rot
ted stable or barn-yard manure, per acre,
aud cross plow it in 5 or 6 inches deep.
Your plowing being donc,harrow thoroug
ly and roll. Your land will then be in a
condition to drill in tbe seed, which is best
done by a drilling machine, which makes
the drill, drops tbe seed, covers them and
rolls the grouud at one and the same oper
ation. The drills to be 18 or 20 iuclies
apart.
If you have not a drilling machine,
stretch a line north aud south across the
land, and draw drills of the width named
above, 1 iuch deep, drill in the seed thinly
and cover with a rake, compressing the
earth on the seed with the back of tbe
rake. We have found a bottle convenient
to drill tbe seed in with.
W nrenared the aeed for drillinff.thus :
.. - r r ,
We poured hot water over them, and let 1
them soak over night, iu the morning
wo (Jraii e I off the water, aud mixed as
much ulasier, snot aud a.-lies with the setid
as were sufficient to separate them ; then
we mixed Iwo parts saud to one of seed,
put the seed thus mixed iuto a botlle, which
we kept well shaken as we drillnd iu the
sed from its mouth. We took pains to
drill in the seed as thinly as piactioable,
at 1 to sow over them a couii.oot uado of
U parts mould, 1 part plasttr and 1 part
ashes, before covering them, then covered
with the rake, and compressed the earth
down upou the seed with thu back part of
the rake.
Those who may not Lave the requisite
quantity of Well rotted manure sp. ken of
to fore, will liml a substitute in -0U pounds
of l'cruviau (iuano, 2 two-horse curt loads
of rich mould, 1 J bushels of leached ashes,
and 1 bushel of plaster, which must bo
well mixed together, sowu broadcast aud
plowed iu as directed Lr the Well rotted
manure.
1'arsuip seed of more than one year old
is very uncertain tn cume up ; care, there
fore should be observed iu purchasing it lo
get fre.-h seed.
From 2 to 3 pounds per acre should be
drilled ic.
When the plants are sufficiently high
to allow of it, say four or five inches high,
thin them out, so that the plants will
staud freni C to 8 inches apart in the rows;
hand weed around the plauts, and weed
between- the rows with a hoe. In two
week from this working, give the parsnips
a second working, aud repeat the working
twice mure aud you may lay your crop by.
Care must be taken, each time, to relieve
the plauts from all weeds and grass imme
diately around them, aud to stir the ground
well with the hoe between tbe rows; an
open soil aud cleanly eulture being the
- jt
the culture bo such as is pointed out, a
product of from 500 to 1.000 bushels per
aero may be realised.
Carrots.
The soil, preparation of the soil, quality
kiud and quantity of muuure, the same
for carrots as we have pointed out for
parsnips.
The preparation of seed is a little differ
ent. Before putting them into the soak,
the seed should be mixed with sand, and
rubbed between the palms of tbe hand,
otberwiee they are difficult to be drilled iu
with petcision.
From 2 to 3 pounds of seed per acre is
the right quantity.
At the first working, thin the plants so
as to stand 6 inches in the rows the rows
IS inches apart.
The culture the same as for parsnips;
at thu tir?t working a top dressing or dust
ing of equal p'irts of salt, ashes aud plits
ter will be found useful
Manuel Wurtzel.
This root should be managed like the
two preceding ones, except that the drills
should be 27 inches apart, and the plants
when thinned out, should staud 12 inches
apart iu the drills.
The culture is the same, with this ex
ception. The plants frequently show fwo
crotens, one of which must be pinched off,
or the roots will fork.
In good deep loamy soil, well manured
with rotten dung, fir I'eravian guano, the
soil deeply plowed, and thoroughly pul
verised by harrowing and rolling, Mangel
Wurtzel is a most productive root
From about the 20th of August, till
harvested, you may gather leaves from
them to feed your milcb cows, and repeat
the gathering every two weeks, provided
you leave the urper series of leaves un
touched. Three pounds is the proper quantity.

How to Hake Good Batter.
Mk. Editor: Having read several i
communications in tbe Farmer on making I
good butter, aud not seeing any that 1
comes up to my ideas, I will nuw give my I
practice (or rathci that of my wife.) aud
some of tbe causes of not making good :
butter. I
1. Milk should never be set for butter j
in a dark, damp sellar, as tbe cream is I
thereby moulded before it has had time to j
rise, which gives the butter a mouldy j
taste.
2. The milk is allowed to set too long
before being bkimmed, which gives it a
cheesy taste.
3. The cream is kept too long, before
it is churned, after it is skimmed, which
gives it the taste of the other two; and
also a sour taste.
4 Tbe butter should never be washed
in water, because it takes away that beau
tiful aroma so essential in good butter.
5. It should never be token in a per
sous warm bands, a. th heat melts a tt
tain portion of the globules, whi"h gives it
au bily taste, and makes, it htcuuiu rancid
very soon.
6. The rn'illf thonl 1 lie se! in gwl clean,
tin or carhun pans, iu a dry, open, airy
and shady place, abave ground, if possible,
although a cellar may be so built, and
i ventilated, as to answer the purple. Ii
should never be set over twenty-four
ho'irs, in warm weather; and fjr a dairy
of three cows and over, the tinaui should
bo churned every morning, aud never ba
kept over for'y-eigut h urs in warm
weather ; in cold weather it may le kept
longer. It should always be aboui tho
same heal that the milk is when drawn
from the cow, and churned steadily, aud I
have never known it to fail iu coming
readily ; (we use a cyliuder churu) it is
then taken from tbe churn with a wooden
butter ladle, into a wooden tray, which
has been well scalded, cooled iu pure col 1
water; the salt is ihen worked iu to suit
the ta--te, with the ladle, which is easily
done, wi'h a littie practice, aud the butter-milk
well worked out: it is then set
away in a cool place for about twenty f jur
hou', when it is well worked over agtin
as long as milk or pickle can be worked
out. Butter madi in this way, and put
down iu stone pots, aul kept fnm the
air, will keep good f -ra long time.

Setting Hen3.
Never allow your heus more than a
dozen eggs to incubate. A larger number
is not desirable under any circumstances.
When more are accorded, the hen, unlc-g
of very largo siz.', will be unable to incu
bate them tifTcctually, and loss will follow
as a iiuces.-ary result Furuisli a waiui
nest, and be sure tu provide liberal feed,
with a sufficiency of pure water from tho
well or spring. The apartment in which:
andV1!c'n "';nSoJt.sh'JulJ be
trusion of all other fowln, and of vcrm'A,
as to prevent inteuuption or annoyance .
from any sourc. A nest of fine straw,
well dried, or of wooUIiud iu.!J, is per
haps the beat ; it is elastic and warm, and .
re-tains heat without becoming humid. A
spooufuil of asbes sprinkled over the nest,
or a few drop of oil applied tu tbe neck
and back of the hen, will tend to keep off
vermin, particularly those with which
the hen, daring tbe tedious and painful
process of ircutatioD, is most commonly
infested.
Eggs may be preserved for a long fima
perfectly fresh and sweet, simply by rx-
cluuing them from the air, and reversing
their position daily. They may aLo bo
preserved by iuuici.-ing them in a Solu
tion of salt and water, or by packing them
in pulverised charcoal. Rut when packed
in dry bubstances, tbey bhould be turned
over every day, and kept perfectly dry aud
free from moisture. Germantoicn Tti.
