Mr. Fillmore is opposed, at the outset,
by the advocates of the One Term priuci- i be would not aid Webster. Tbe
pie fir President a leading principle of friends of Daniel Webster do not forget
the Whig party, just as binding aud effec- tbis ungenerous, this exclusive, this tnon
tive, now, as ever. Mr. F. held, virtually j opolizing, rule-or-ruin course,
though accidentally, one term. In his j Scott was selected as the standard-bca-case,
as in the'ease of Mr. Pierce, it was rer, but went down under the weight of
evident that be desired a second term, aud Fillmore's fugitive slave law audGalpbiu
thaped his course with reference to such 'slu- l"e Administration eleeted as
a result. No man, we think, can believe, j Whig, by Whig votes was at best cold
tbat Mr. F. wou!d have pursued the course ' "d feeble in its support of the Whig cause;
he did if he bad not been looking for a 'hundreds aud thousauds of Silver Greys j
re-election. Nor c; n any one believe Fillmore men came out opculy and op
that Pr.-s. P. would have gone for thevio- ' P"J it J and it is believed by very inauy
lation of the Missouri Compromise, were , lU:it Fillmore himself exerted his influence
he not in a mad race with Douj;las to sc- '
cure the Presidential chair iu lOG. Oue
Term will operate well in restraining un
reasonable ambition.
Mr. F. is looked upon as being as much
a traitor to the oauKc nf Liberty, as John
Tyler was to the big party. Jo prove
"4 this, it will be necessary lo refer to bis
antecedents. Witness the following Cor-

could secure the nomination

the Defender of the Constitution. While
! Fillmore coh. nut secure his own cleva-
P'ivately agaiust Scott.
L'uder the cir
cumstances, Fillmore can not expect aid
from auy true Whig from any true friend
of tbe noble chieftain, Wiuticld Scott.
Upon tbe close of his administration,
Mr. Fillmore took a triumphaut tour
I
received with open arms, by all parties,
bis devotion to the .nterests of j
Slavery, and his opposition to Freedom, j
H' own speeches were fulsomcly eulogis-
tic of bis "sacrifices to "save tbe Lnton,
aud stating that be pursued a different j
course from Jujlor. (lucre is no
doubt, bad Geu. Taylor lived, he would
have managed differently.
Nullification-
ism be would bave treated as Geu. Jackson
treatt-d it, aud tbe " Uniou-savieg" cant
be would bave scouted as he did while
living ) It was plated at tbe time, tbat
Fillmore's tour was to arrange matters for
tbe Presidency in 1S5G.
President Fillmore was tbe FIRST to
give executive assent to the fatal heresy
gut8 man 10 sanction laws leaving pre-
TiU(ilT.free New Mexico, Utah. &c. open
t0 the incursions of Slavery ; he thereby
tbe foundation upon which Pierce,
Douglass, &c, have erected their batteries
,o overthrow tbe Missouri restriction, and
t0 gcnd slavcrv like a desolatine gcource
over tbe plains of Kansas and Nebraska.
Yes, the compromise acts of 1851 are the
very acts upou which the whole Kansas
outrage is based ; they are appealed to as I
authority ; and for those acts, Mr. Fillmore
claiuis to be elected President by the lov
ers of holier, of good faith, aud of Liber
ty ! He it was who opened this "Pan
dora's hex" of evil, aud challenges our
support for the unfortunate the infamous
deed !
True, some of Mr. F.'s friends denounce
Pierce and party for disturbing tbe Mis
souri Compromise, &c. But, Pierce did
uo more with Kansas than Fillmore had
done with New-Mexico, Utah, fco. AU
were free by law, aud all were thrown open
for the ravages of Slavery. Fillmore's
guilt is the greater, because he paved the
way.
And where were his voice and influence,
when this last great wrong was perpetrated?
LEWISBURG,
Whec the true friends of the Missouri
Compromise were striving their beat to
preserve it, where waa Millard Fillmore?
Silent as the grave ! Not a word, not a
line, from him or any of bis bosom friends,
agaiust the outrage !
And now, how docs be stunt! on the
question of restoring Freedom to Kansas ?
Who can tell 7 Like the " Cowboys" of
the Revolution, he is neither for it nor
against it. Some of bis friends advocate if;
seme oppose it. Some denounce the theft,
but say the thing stolen shall not be re
stored. At the South, Mr. F. is claimed
to be their best friend, as we might show
by numerous public speeches and public
journals. At the North, some joiu with
the South in denouncing every friend of
Freedom in Kansas, while others claim
Mr. F. as a friend of Kansas and of Lib
erty ! lletween the two, his case is clearly
desperate, for as Slavery is the question
and as neither the South nor the North
intend to be deceived by their candidates
no balf-way man will answer either side;
and the " neutrals" are not suflieieut to
carry the day any mure than they were in
i i
I A
.0.
Aside from these objections on the
part of voters in general ; of the Whigs,
who constitute the main body of the Op
position ; and of the Republicans, who de
mand Freedom for Kansas there are
other considerations, which cause large
cumbers of the American party to repudi
ate Mr. Fillmore's nomination. The wri
ter of this article never belonged to that
or to any other secret association, of any
name or nature whatever; but the knowl
edge of the principles and feelings of tbat
organization are public property.
In the first place, very many bonest,
sober, independent members, do not wai.t
old party hacks at their head ; they do not
I choose inveterate office hunters; they want
. , , . '
I the office to seek the man.
i . ... ,
It is asserted that he was never a work-
as initiated
' his own Plrlor. M a 8Pecial favor
He
is but non'l member, for Ihe sake of
influence and power towards the Presiden
cy, and has written letters with the satno
end in view.
Instead of remaining at borne to assist
the order, and to be questioned as to his
views of the Kansas issue, Mr F. has been
for mauy mouths iu Europe visiting the
crowned heads aud the nobility ; cultivat
ing the "good society" abounding there ;
enjoying a social time with His Holiness
the Pope, who was highly pleased with
His ex-Excelleticy ; payiug his respects to
the Czar of all tbe Russias (not including
Turkey ;) and baskiug in the sunshiue of
Royalty generally. Now, all these things
may be "politic" and proper enough; but
many plain, sincere Protestants imagine
they have a "foreign" aspect, and tbat
"tbe Pope" and Fillmore can not be bad
frieuds on such companionable terms. In
short, they suspect his Anti-Romanism to
be tbe sheerest political humbug, and that
he laughs at their credulity !

which lonff rolled over our countrv. has

ebbed, and that cause of uneasiness has I
...
mcasuraoiy ceasea.
It is also urged, we believe with truth,
that Mr. Fillmore never received a major
ity of the nominating Council's votes; that
the votes which nominated bim were from
States which the Americans had no hope
of carrying ; tbat the Slates which bad the
strength of the order, were opposed to any I
nomination at tbe time, or to him : in a
'
word, that tbe nomination was a iraud,aud
not binding upon tbe order.
Tbe large majority of Delegates from
Pennsylvania, New York, the New Eng
land Stales, Ohio, Michigan, and nearly
everv Northern Stale, either receded from
tbe Convention, or voted against Fillmore.
By giving those who remained, a chance
to vote for those who were absent, a nom
inal majority was obtained j but it was
not real, nor did it represent the Ameri
can strength.
And now, how stands the case 7 There
is not a single Northern State which Fill
more can carry. In many of them, be
has not a paper to sustain him, and the
American Councils have unanimously re
jected hiin. In others he has the Pro-
Slavery Whig strength, aud also that of
couscieutious members who thiuk that
because nominated they must support him:
but in many towns aud counties be has no
show whatever. The last Independent
K publican, of Montrose, says :
"Pro-slavery doughfacisra can not flourish
in the 'rural districts' any better, under the
name of Americanism, than under any other
name. As far as regards oue cuuoiy, we can
speak confidently. Thee may be teu Fillmore
Ainencaus in Susquehanna county, but we
have not yet found one."
We might multiply proofs of this kind,
but it is unnecessary.
At the South, the prospect is equally
hopeless. Unless the Cincinnati Conveu
tien disappoints everybody, their nominee
will suit the South much better than
UNION CO., PA., FRIDAY, MAY 30, 1856.
Fillmore. Albert I'ike, a leading Ame
rican of Arkansas, says, in recent letter,
that,"undcr present circumstances,Millard
Fillmore will not be able to carry a single
county in the South." And if the South
deserts him, as they have many another
man after "using" him to their purposes,
where can he look for the first chance for
an Electoral Vote T
As to ANDREW JACKSON doncl
son, the "nephew of bis uncle," little need
be said. A favorite of the old hero, for
whom as a member of his family the con
fiding veteran did all he could, there is no
thing of him except his accidental connec
tion with that distinguished character.
The Americans are not Frenchmen, ti be
carried away by a name. Educated as is
stated at a Catholic institution, bis horror
of Catholicism only came on after the
American party was organized. Publisher
of the notorious Wtuhington Union, and a
rabid denunciator of Clay, Webster, Scott,
and even Fillmore, he did not discover
their good qualities until his own party
refused to re elect bim printer to the Sen
ate, and Pierce declined giving bim a good
office. Thru, his "patriotic" soul burst
the fetters of Democracy, and he became
a furious American ! Boasting that be
owns a hundred slaves, he only makes the
Fillmore pill more bitter to the lovers of
Freedom who are resolved above all other
issues to restore her rights to Kansas.
We have written much more than
we intended have urged our views as
fairly as our information enables us and
submit them to public endorsement or re
jection as every man's bonest judgment
aud conscience shall incline him, "with
out fear, favor, or affection." w.
Population and Wealth of tha U. S.
The following tables show a flattering
increase of population and weltW M1

is assumed tbat Slaves are " wealth,"
which detracts materially from the sum
totals in those States in one respect
Those mirked E are estimated only all
others from census and -assessments.

Pl-lpit Pronunciation. A correspon
dent of the New York Churchman thus
happily hits off the common and silly
habit into which a great many clergymen
have fallen, of slighting the very respecta
ble letter r in their pronunciation. The
following is a sample :
M Whca I can read HIT this ctt AS,
To maniionii iu the ftkice,
ru bid faiwvcll to svwry ra AM,
And wipe my weeping sees.
"The above is the style of elocution
in which the first lines of Dr. Watts' cele
brated hymn were very recently delivered
from the deeply recessed chancel of that
beautiful church, the rector of which, some
time since, so solomnly announced the
sufferins of the POO AH increase with tbe
approach of win-TAH, and who, from the
pulpit, is in the habit of extolling the
wondrous efficacy of the Gos-PUX for tbe
cu-AH of all the ills of suffering humani-
yi ....
" The same accomplished minister, upon
the same day on which be delighted, from
the chancel, his ravished hearers with the
above poetic, electrified them by the fol
owing burst, from tbe pulpit, of eloquent
and classic declamation :
"01 srsnAat

F00L8 AUD WISE MEN.
When at the festive board you sit
Where flows the sparkling wine.
Remember, though to drink be sweet,
That to abstain's divine ;
That nature's beverage should suffice
To cheer both great and small ;
That fools will drink ihe maddening cup,
But wise men nut at all.
In work or play remember too
This sacred rule to mind,
Ysnr work should be for noble ends,
Your pleasures pure in kind;
Then, though you have a merry heart,
Korget not, lest you fall.
That fools will sport in wicked ways,
but wise men not at all.
And when in youth's advancing hours
You feel yourself alone.
And seek some woman's truting heart,
Then give her all your own ;
Remember, if your passions roam.
Those pleasures soon must pall,
That fools will court the wanton's smiles
But wise men not at all.
And if deceived by fair pretence
Of friendship in vour kind.
Learn thence to judge your fellow men
With a discerning mind;
A faithful friend shall bring yon bliss,
A false one only gall ;
Fools trnst their all to treacherous knaves.
But wise men not at all.
And for your neighbor's weal or woe
E'er have a kindly care ;
Remember what is safe for you
May lead him to despair;
Then pause before you take a step
May cause a brother's fall.
For fools live for themselves alone,
But wise men live for all.
In all your intercouse with men
Be this your constant aim,
Lo help the good to walk aright,
The wandering to reclaim ;
Each baser appetite to check,
l.est it should work your thrall;
For fools indulge in sordid lust.
But wise men not at all.

Good Liquors. The present law pro
vides against the sale of adulterated liquors,
and we hope that the provision may be
rigidly enforced. Good liquor is bad
enough ; but the miserable stuff sold at
some hotels is little better than poison,
and every landlord who thus imposes on
his customers should lose his license.
Since the sale of liquor is allowed, we go
for a pure article, and for closing the bar

THE FARM
Tbe Cardea The Orchard.
Broom Corn.
The cultivation of this crop has not re
ceived the attention it merits from farm
ers. We venture tbe assertion tbat no
one product has, for the last two or three
years, paid so well and will continue to
do so, (unless it receives much more ex
tensive culture,) than broomcorn. Du
ring tbe period referred to, the demand
has greatly exceeded the supply, and as a
consequence prices have ruled high. A
great breadth of land has been devoted to
its growth in the West, but tbe corn is
not as fine nor as tough when the product
of new land as from that which has, for a
series of years, been under cultivation.
The best soil for its psrfcct growth is
one that is rich, warm and loamy. Any
land tbat will raise a good crop of its In
dian namesake, will be suitable clay
lands, or those of a tenacious character
should be avoided. A ereea sward turned
under late in the fall has been found most
productive.
In tbe pn piration of the soil, bog ma
nure will prove a beneficial application.
About eight wagon loads to the acre,
placed in tbe bills, is a sufficiency.
Leacbed ashes, used in the same manner
fifteen bushels per acre, will be found an
addition. The ground should be deeply
plowed and well harrowed. Stake the
hills about three feet apart : if sown in
drills three and one half feet We should
prefer bill planting, as the labor, by such
process, is considerably lessened. Bury
the seed from one to one and a half inches.
Ten or twelve thrifty plants is all that
should be allowed to each bill. The time
of planting depends on the season, the
most judicious period is as early as you
can ensure the crop from frost

cultivator between the hills or rows, fol
lowing with the band hoe. At this stage
of growth tbe weeds must not be allowed
to take precedence of the crop. After a
tlioro' going over with the hoe, the cut-
j ivatioa can be done with a horse-hoe, cul-
tivator or small plow either of which it
would be advisable to run through several
times during the season.
In harvesting, pass between the rows,
and break tbe tops about one foot below
the brush, bending towards each otber,
tbat they may interlock and serve as a
mutual support. Tbe proper period for
this process is just aflur the seed has
passed tbe milk stage and before it is fully
ripe. Should a frost occur, it needs to be
done immediately. The peculiar benefit

The seed is separated from tbe brush

Culture of Peas.
The mil best adapted to tbe pea crop is
that of a loamy character, rather inclining
to clay such, in fact, as is called a " good
wheat soil." Good crops of the smaller
kinds may be grown on sandy land, bnt
hot and dry weather is more apt to prove
injurious, than on soils of moister charac
ter. Green manure affects tbe yield un
favorably, giving a large growth of vine,
with a tendency to blight. Fall-plowed
green sward on land of a loamy character
is considered a favorable situation. A soil
of medium fertility is all that is required,
for the pea takes largely from tbe atmos
phere, and is an ameliorating rather than
an exhausting crop, as it leaves the ground
in a elean and mellow condition, and it is
often and successfully adopted as a "green
fallow" for winter grains.
The preparation of the soil should be
the same as that for other spring grains.
Fall-plowed sward should be worked into
fine tilth with the barrow or cultivator,
and tbe same is trne of stubble land. If
any manure is applied it should be well-
rotted, and thoroughly mixed with the
soil. In garden culture bone dust is often
used with excellent effect.
The amount of seed varies with tbe sixe
of the peas and character of their growth :

some are of a more spreading habit tbaa
others. From three to four bushels is tha
usual quantity. When thickly sown the
ground is more perfectly covered, and ia
left in a cleaner state, bnt if too thick,
they lodge too soon and fill imperfectly.
Their value to tbe soil, depends largely,
however, on the freedom from wccds.which
thick sowing ensures.
Early timing generally gives tbe best
crop, but if injury is apprehended from
the pea-bug A pii) it Is reeommes
ded to defer until the fore part of Jane.
This will not always prevent tbeii attacks,
hence it is the eustooi of some farmers to
sow early, and feed the peas in the vines
as soon as ripe to tbe swine, which it is
desirable tr fatten. In tbis way the full
value of the pea is secured, as the batch
ing of the bug does not take place nntil
late in the season, and tbe peas are not
eaten by them until tbat time.
The covering of the seed is a difficult
matter unless drilled or plowed in. Tbe
gang-plow is one of the best implement
: fur tbe latter purpose. Sow on the furrow
without previous narrowing, then harrow
lightly and follow with the gang-plow, so
as to cover about four inches deep. The
harrowing prevents their rolling into rows
or bunches before tbe plow. But the drill
is tbe most perfect method of sowing and
covering which can be employed.
If the seed is infested with jxa-Lugt,
immerse it in boiling water, for two min
utes, then dry in ashes, before sowing.
, The water will not affect the vitality of
I the seedi.and the adhering ashes will have
some fertilising effect Plaster may be
employed for the same purpose, and it ia
sometimes sown upon the vines, when a
few inches in height, with god res alts.
The value and uses of this crop are well
known, but are scarcely sufficiently appre
ciated. Peas are highly nutritious food,
wo. aaiula. "The propor
tion of nitrogenous or muscular matter
which tbey yield on analysis, is much
greater than that given by any other kind
1 of grain,"and mixed with oats and ground,
they form a favorite "provender" for
horses and swine, especially the latter.
Boiled or soaked, hey are often fed to
swine nnground, and with good fat-produ-cing
results. For making pork they are
as cheaply raised as anything which can
be grown, and before the peabug become
so prevalent, were largely employed for
that purpose in Western New York.

: What can be Raised on One Acrt.
The Editor of the Maine Cultivator, a
few years ago, published bis manr.cement
of ono acre of ground, from which we
gather the following results :
One-third of an aere of corn produced
thirty bushels of sound corn for grinding,
besides some refuse. This quantity waa
sufficient for family use, and for fattening
one large or two small hogs. From the
same ground he obtained two or three
hundred pumpkins, and his family supply
of beans. From the same bed of six rods
square be usually obtained sixty bushels
of onions ; these he sold at one dollar per
bushel, and the amount purchased his
flour. Thus from one-third of an acre
and an onion bed he obtained his bread
stuffs. The rest of the ground was appro
priated to M aorta of vegetables for sum
mer and winter use potatoes, beets, par
snips, cabbage, green corn, peas, beans,
cucumbers, melons, squashes, Ac, with
fifty or sixty bushels of beets and earrota
for the winter food of a cow. Then ho
had a flower garden, also raspberries
in great variety ; and a few choice apple,
pear, plumb, cherry, peach and quince
trees.
Some readers msy call the above a
" Yankee trick." So it is, and onr object
in publishing it is to bave it repeated all
over Yankee laud, and everywhere else.
If a family can be supported from one
acre of ground in Maine, tue same can bo
