(ltthcy. '1 supported Mr. Madison two terms,
Mr. Monroe twice, and was one of the elec-
tors in Ohio that voted for Monroe at the
tune of bissecond election. In 1824 I was
n_2aced at the head of the Jackson electoral
ticket in Ohio; 1828 was chosen an elector
iothat State, and gave my vote as such, for
Gen. Andrew Jackson. g
; I was President of the Democratic Na-
tional Convention at Baltimore in 1832,
which nominated Gen. Jackson for reelection,
and that recommended Martin Van Buren
ass candidate for Vice President on -the
same ticket; I supported Mr. Van Buren
for the Presidency in ’36 and '40. I voted
for Gen. Cass in 1848, and should freely
vote for him again were he n~'candidate.——
These are so many proofs of my title of
Democrat. This title has been well earned,
and my right to it shall never be impaired.
But I cannot support Franklin Pierce by
word‘ or deed for the important office of
President, consistent with principles which I
have ever, as a Democrat entertained, nor
with the voluntary pledges that! made to
the Democratic Convention of Ohio, which
nominated me in 1834, as a candidate for re-
elecfron tothe office of Govenorof that'fiour-
ishitig State; these pledges being as follows :‘
S ‘ “My motto has ever been,principles, meas-
‘L‘7‘€J“a-‘_nd men that will carry principles and
measures mto cfliict-and you may rest assured,
that whatoverimay be my station or situation
tarlife, you will always find me in the ranks
of Democracy,supporting the principles and
nieasuics, that were professed and acted upon
in the administration ofa. Jefferson, (2. Mwdi
rim"-,"a.mli'z Jackson, and such men as .will
carry.‘ their principles and taeasuresginto
effect.” T? - .
- The position Mr. Pierce has ever occupied,
in_Oongress or any other public station,‘ in
reference to questions vital to Western pros-
p_eri}.y_.- has beenantagonistical tothose which
were advocated and dearly ehe,,ris_hed by those
eminent statesman whose. election to the Pres-
idency I" most heartily and cordially advoca-
ted. They taught, and l have always believ-
ed, that the Constitution vests in Congress
the potrer to open and repair harbors, and
remove obstructions from navigable rivers:
and that it was expedient that Congress
biiould. exercise such power whenever such
improvements are necessary for the common
defense-—for the protection and facility of
commerce with foreign nations or among the
3iates—said improvements being national
and general in their character.- I understand
M‘.-_ Pierce 1,, so per-add to the above doctrine,
a'pmviso to the effect, that the waters on
which these improvements are proposed to be
made, shall be salt and that they shall be
moved by titles. He has, in effect declared
' that the depth of waters to be improved, not
thcii capacity" for trade among the States,
forms no criterion for a just demand upon
federal protection. His political history as
rollected from his action in Congress, no less
than from his letter to the Cominitteeof the
Convention accepting his nomination. to. the
Presidency in the terms set forth in the plat-
form,furaish evidence of his hostility to all
the prominent measures which-tend to Wes-..
tern prosperity, of whom internal improve-
ments and domestic industry are the most
important. , _ .
As a Western man, therefore, and as an‘
original Jackson Democrat, as a friend to lo-
terrial improvements, and to the protection
and encouragement of American industry.
lcannot and I will not support such a man
as-Franklin Pierce for the Presidency. And,
as there is now but two prominentcandidates
brfore the American people——namely, Gen
Winfield Scott and Franklin Pierce—-one of
whom will necessarily be elected thelnext
President, i shall most cheerfully and freely
give my vote and influence to Gen. Scott.-
lfbelieve him by far the best Democrat of the
two,and one whom every friend to the West
particularly, one to Internal Impovements,
and to the protection and promotion of Anter-
ican industry,ought to prefcr,and to cordially-
- ’support.

For the Gazette,
How to make Orchards.
There is perhaps no subject which so
deeply interests the farmer, on which there
is so little practical knowledge.
The reason is _obvious. Present profit
though small, is preferred to greater income
at a future day. The . old maxim generally
provisos, “ a quick sixpcnce is better than a
slow shilling.” Again, the farmer is a pru-
dent and economical operator, who is fully
employed with his endless cares, and gener.
ally“ brings the year about,” and has soure-
thing left. He seldom strikes out a new
system of operation, as that will incur a
present outlay which he is not willing to
make and run the risk of future profits.-
Tiie old orchard produces apples enough “in
the bearing year such as they are,” few of
which are fit only for the hogs. , As he do‘
rives no special profit from_ it in the sale of
fruit, be determines to make it do as long ‘as
he lives and let those who come after look
out for themselves. Several other reasons
are often assigned as an apology to r the neg-
lect of transplanting new orchards. First, I
intend to sell my form, and then 1 should
lose my labor. Secondly, I may not live to
eat the fruit of it. Finally, fruit will not
be worth anything if everybody go to rai‘
sing apples. Now suppose the farm is to be
sold, who does not know, that among the
first enquiries of the buyer is, has the farm a
good orchardon it, and will not buy if it
has not. The second excuse tenders of sel-
fishness, as if nothing was worth doing un.
less self could receive all the benefit. The
last excuse has no foundation, as will be
seen beforewe close these numbers.
The above isa specimen of the philoso-
phy which turns the Key of Knowledge
against the masses on this subject ; while on-
ly thefczo are awaiting, and entering upon
the cultivation of fruit with a zeal and ener-
gy which its importance demands.
But how shall Orchards be made. I mean
apple orchards. To insure complete suc-
cess, several things are to be carefully at-
tended to, and are indispensable.
1st. The soil must be dry. Stiff clay or
light sandy soils are to be avoided. ll‘ the
soil is of sufiicient depth, and yet too wet, it
may be tmderdrninecl with a ditch two feet
or two arida half feet in depth, direcily un-
der a row of trees, or between each or alter
nate rows, as necessity may require, Often
landsdrained thus become the best orchard
lands.
2d. Elevated Land: are preferable to lot’:-
valley lands. T
3d. The lands where the young tree is
planted for orchards must be made rich.-.-
Swamp much and barn-yard manure with a
free use of lime are manurcs adapted to or-
chard culture.
4. Theltrees must be right. To err here
would be fatal, whatever else may be done.
lst. They must be young. The apple-
tree that has stood in the nurserey six, eight
or ten years, is worse than worthless to plant
for an orchard. If it be small, it is already
stunted; if it is large and vigorous, the loss
of roots consequent upon removal win 3,».
rest the growth, and render it comparatively
valueless, though it may live. Most trees in
transplant, at from two to four years growth
from grafting. A stocky two year old tree
from five to six feet high,-is in reality more
valupble to the orchardist, than a tree of
three or four yearsgrowth and six to nine
feet high; the transplanting ofthe former
scarcely checks its growth, as few of the
roots are lost in comparison with those
which are older and larger, with widely ex-
tended robts, which often reach in eight or
ten feet in each direction from the tree.
2. Trees wb_i.ch are cultivated on warm
sandy soils wlrilc in the nursery, and more
southern localities than which the orchard is
10 be planted. seldom if ever. succeed well
when removed northwardly and transplanted
on more substantial; soils. The experience -
of the farmers at the north, on Hudson
river and New England have fully con-
firmed this.
lt is often many yearsbcfore thetrees firi-
lll "3¢°Ve|‘ from the change and often prove
a total failure; Hence the prejudice among
northern orchardists against the trees prod“-
ced in the. nurseries of Long island and
N*-‘“' 397893 8l_lh_t‘-3 are in most instances on
sandy soils. _ ,
Again, the argument prevails, that the ap-
ple-tree like corn (iepreciatcs in value "when-
reinoved from warm. ..-outbern localities to
more northern, yet-the tre'es_w_hich grow on
these warm sandy soils, are often larger,
more straight, and beautiful at two ye",r_g.,
old, than trees one good firm soil" more
nnrthwardly at four years old. The _foi-ego-'

. 8_d.~.Th_.e. Varieties at the, fruit should be
right. The farmer who plants an orchard
wantsonly the best varieties known, forming
ple till it ripens again the coming year, of
course we-can have but a « few varieties. ,;l
have been surprised to find in the catalogues
of some nurse'rym_en the names of two or
threa. hundred varieties of apples, and seve-
ral hundrcd varieties of pears, plums,pea‘ch-
ea &.c, while every one knows there can be
but few that are best, while all the rest must
be marked 25, 3d, 4th, &c. lt would ‘seem
they think to immortalize their nurseries
with long lists. But this is becoming un-
popular among the nurseyrnen of the-pres-I
eat day. One of the largest nurseries o
western New York, occupying more than
one hundred acres of land, cultivate only
about forty varieties of apples. I know of
many small nurseries containing only a few
thousar:dtrees.and yet boast of their bund-
red varieties. Not long since lrecgived a
catalogue from a nurseryman, on a‘ stiiall
scale which contained the names of 185 va-
rieties and yet he irifortned me in a note
that he cutit-ated 67 varieties more which
was not mentioned in the catalogue. I was
shown a little nursery a few days ago, of
little more than half an acre, and was told
ll contained 64 varieties of apples.
The American Pomological Congress or
the delegates composing the United States
Fiuitgrowers Convention mot for the ii i».
time in the city of New York, in the year
1848, and the part of their business was to
decide, lst, what were the best varieties for
summer. 2nd, which were the best for fall
use, and 3d, which were the best for winter
apples. Their second meeting was held at
the city of Cincinntti. in 1850, and ;tlicir 3d
meeting is hold on the 13th of this month in
the city of Philadelphia. They have deci-
ded thus far, and recommended" for general
cultivation less than twenty varieties of ap-
ples, and have treated the long lists of other
kinds of fruit in a similar manner.‘ l have
been more particular on this head, because
in most instances the farmer who plants an
orchard has no definite knowledge of many
of the most valuable varieties 9f apples
which are now leading in. our own and for-
eign markets. The following are sortie of
the best varieties :‘ for summer apples, the
Early Harvest and Sweet Bough; for Fall
apples, Orange, Fall, l'l0ll'«‘.llld Pippin, and
Porter, Jersey, English and Virginia-Sweels..
Winter apples, Northern Spy, Roxbury
Russet, Baldwin, Ncwtown Pippin, Rliode
Island Green, Esopus Spitzcnburg, Tolmon
and Ladies Sweet. These wi h a few others
constitute the best varieties known both for
home anti foreign markets, all of which are
fully described in the late publications on
fruit culture.

awful tragedy at Peer Swamp a few years ago,
the capturing business has found but few admi-
rers, and as for getting the actors in that scene
to engage in asimilur enterprise, it was next to
impossible. And such a savage visaged band of
buctiuueers as were represented to hold the Is-
land, was. truly apulling! It was even asserted
that in addition to having long lieztrds they had
clat‘l’s like toasts. eyes in their foreheads, and
were some five feet taller than other "mortals!
No one else daring to lead on the civil posse
the man who carried the revolver in the inur-
der case, was prevailed tipon to risk his all in
maiiitaiuing the dignity of the law, provided the
score of vplunteers \\’l'.0 litid tnztrchrxl up to
on the field of action, in their cliivalric words
and gestures presaged. All swore allegiance
to tlieircouutry and to their chief and off to the
battle started. Among the volunteers were
sundry ofthe legal profession whose counte-
nances were observed to drop as they pushed
the boat from shore. At le ugtli they reitclied
the pitched on spot, all tired, heated, hissing
hot, (and some add dry,) when the hero ufthe
expedition effected in tieacible landing, followed
by it lurzkless son of Blntzkstono. But since the
days of Pierce in Mexico, lawyers have had ill
success in buttle_—our legal friend was collared
by the lnlv'll(lt‘.'I‘s and without tlieleaist i‘oference
either to his tastes or habits of life, thrust info

His imploriug looks melted the hearts ofhis cap-
tors and lie was rescued and set. at. liberty. Af-
ter some pursuasive eloquence the beligerents
consented» to have Justice Weed pass upon the
case, and our heroes returned to their anxious
friends unharmetl with simply wet jackets, but
otherwise -very dry .’
