' No Part ok the Country can aoain EVER BE CONTROLLED BY THE NEURO Race." Kjclractt from the Speech of Utn/rcum in S. W. Moulfon, of Ifiinoii, July 10, 1882 No allowance in ido by gomloui >n up >11 the other side fur tho great disparity botweeti the edoreditnd white ricas in intelligence and all of tho elouiouts which constitute p nvar .an 1 o ip laity to in in iga, outr ?l and g iver.i In these latter pirliculirs tho AngloSixm race is pre oniiiioutly and infi nirfly t!u superior of tha cilirel rice. ' There is alio the oth er great fictthit d ?oj> uat seem to hive baa:i taken int.) c insideration by the Republic m party a9 a reason why thousands of colored men should veto w'.lb the Democrats or affiliate with the Demooratic party, and that is the fact that almost tho entire property of the Southern States is owned by the white aien, who are Demoorats. * This is an clement of great power and is always used and everywhere for D'.iro ?sas of advantage and control in ? r " ~~ O' * political as well as in other matters, agaiust the weaker class. None of these facts arc taken into consideration, and they are suffi cient to aooount for tho natural g'owth of the Democratic^party in the South from the rauks of the colored people. Now, with thoso great advantages on tho side of the white man, is it strange or unreasonable or W. wonderful thit, living in tho same section with tho olorel man, who constitute a very large percentage of the voting pipulation, that the intelligent white mm of the South should use his p >wer over the oolored man by arguuieut, by persuasion, by position, by superior intelligence, by appeals to his own sense of good government, to take sides with them io p ditical questions ? Or, being owuers of the property, and having the vvr U/UVI Ul UUVi ^dVCIU, lb 19 Ullllll'IJ natural that ho should induce iho colored , wan to vote aud act with hiui for his own J as well as tho white man's interest. % I ask if there is anything strange or unnatural in sueh a oiurso as this ? I ask if it is not entirely reasonable and proper that sueh poursc should be pursued? Why it is the universal law that governs everywhere throughout tho world; why should it not operate in South Carolina? The weaker lean 0:1 the stronger?the stronger controls tho weaker; and if it it for the interest of tho stronger tnan to control tho weaker mau by using his vote or his muscle, it is done. It is dono inM issichuaetts, it is done in lllin iis,it isdonein S >uth Carolina. My proposition, then, is that the white raee of this country in no State in thisUuion, whatovor the disparity of nutnhors uny be. will ver sub nit to tho d) nin atiou of the inferior r.aoe; an 1 that tho colored race, the ratio of numbers being the same, would have no groater chance for p dilical success iii Massachusetts thin it ha? in South Curo lina, or in Illinois th in in Mississippi. The ( superior race never has submitted ia the his ( tory of the world and never will submit to the { domination or ooutrol of the weaker or info- . rior race. This is the great universal law of . oaturo. Wo soo it exhibited everywhere j It is praotieed every diy. It is practiced | ia every oouiuiunity, ia every o >uatry, ia all j elimites, .and there is no exception to the rulo. It is then a principle governing hu- j inanity th?t uny be accepted as without ex: | caption that the stroug will take advantage , of his strengtli and use his influence and his , iwer lor the interest of himself, and whcth | er physical or politioal. j And this, Mr. Spoakor, is the teaching of \ all history. It is the inevitable law of the t survival of the fittest. The superior race ] Will /innl a.J ?U? 4 " ' v<# ? vi tun miuriur, ini uucoisoariiy or ] usually by force, or by fraud, but by the \ power of superior intelligence an 1 the pow: [ or resulting froui that intelligence. The t weak everywhere yield to the strong, by | persuasion or by argument, or by appeals to f self interest, and it is thoso circumstances e that surround the oilorod mm of the South H and compel his subordio ition. ft is this ? which enables the mm with superior , intelligence or the in in with property, with i pisition, with power, to oontrol the weaker r pirty not only physically but practioalljr; t and it is the merest hypiorisy, the merest v platitude forauy one to pretend the contrary, j My friead fro n Michigan uses that power in his owo State; it is done everywhere. It is a principle of piwer tint springs from t tho advantages of intelligoooo. wealth, or ca- H pacity to ooutrol. . Mr. Speaker, the priooiple of power from i superior advantage* of intelligence, wealth, t capacity to govora and control obtains t everywhere io the Middle titles and iir the u New England Stites. The weaker every 1 whore are driven to the will, Tho Ilopuh lican party to-d ly al me uaiintnina in power \ by tho circuuMtaooe* of ita pn*4e**i?oH>f the i offices, by the cireu ml ?noe of in po**e**ion ( pf the element* of power, its unlituited'onotml ' over one hundred thou-utud o? more office- J holders. I may illustrate one phwo of th?* p >wer i t" tlioRepublican p;rty by the fact that they | live juU .isictieJ and are now collecting 11 .030,000 from their employees for political jurpisea anil to perpetuate their power. This is chiiuied to be legitimate, and yet vhcu the white man of the South uses his cgitimatc power from the circumstances that surround hiui, to induce the colored nan to vote tho Democratic ticket, and gainst the It ipublicin p irty, in It >p ublic iu syes it is infamous and all wrong. Why. Mr Sptakor, in my judgment the possession of tho government, by the Itepub icm party is due to this very principle of >>worof oireuantanc j, the circumstance of > mission. the circu nstauco of unlimited ronlth.

Pkrparation op tiik Land? Application or FttlTIHZKtl3 Messrs. Editors American Farmer : After waiting a long time before complying with the request made by your Mr. Willian HI Sand*, that [ should write au article r To your piper respecting tny in tie of wheat culture, L hive this ufteraiia (just after being stopped from cutting wheat by a heavy thunder and riiu stor.n). concluded to defer the muter no longer, bit give y>u my p!in in as briof an article as p tssible to cover the grouud, and if you think it too long or of too little interest for public it ion. please consign it to tho waste basket and I will take no offence. Preparation of the land is the.first in order. This should be done when fallow is being prepared, as oarly in the summer as possible. I pr -for hiving my land all thoroughly plowed, the sod being uniformly in verted and at as great a depth as an Oliver Ohilled Plow (which I prefer) or any other ^ood plow can bury it, provided the subsoil is not brought to tlns irfics. After plowing, which should be d ?ne as oarly in Au gust as possible, I use a he ivy roller ami A.otiio harrow to Gil up all interstices ami assist in settling the earth ami miking it is coinpict and Gneas passible. This th ?reugh compactness aud pulvoriz ition I regard the groat essential in the prepiration of I ind for wheat. I now apply niy barn-yard ma* nare and beforegrass starts to grow (as I propose keeping my seed bed free from either grass or weeds) I have a spring tooth harrow run over the ground, which mixes the manure with the surface eirth and d jstroys the young grass and weeds and keeps the ground in con a it ion to foceive an 1 retain the atmospheric influences. After this treatment I can generally dispense with further cultivation until just before seeding when' at which ti.no [ have the spring tooth li irrow, the Tin n is' s niothing h irrow an 1 tho roller used to put the seedbed in as Gnc and solid condition as pissiblc. I prefer preceding ">}' drill w,t^ 'ho roller, and immediately after drilling roll agiin. This latter process I regard very important, although til my good far iters think differently My reason for adopting the plan of rolliug after the drill is that the surface of the seed bed may by as nearly as possible of the same degree of compactness as that portion of tho seed bed imaio Jiuely under the freshly deposited grain. My experience witn the process is, that I have no winter killing of wheat, my wheat invariably making sucli vigorous root growth in compact soil that it is not thrhwn out oftlie ground. Ob tiic contra, ry, if I* was not to roll after sccdtiig (unless a rain should fall to settle the ground very soon thrceaftcr), the very fine parous earth loosened up by the tine of tho drill w iuM be tiie only covering of tli i whsi.it, ami would necessarily bo much nioro congenial to th o ynuno delicatn rootlets thin the harder and more compact soil immediately under the point of the tine whore the graiu is deposited The result of this lust let alone process is, that the surface becomes one uias s of r mts, and the wheat m ly look cquilly as well on the fallow as upon the land where the roller h id been used, (tint is, provided the surface soil has fertility sufficient to keep the wheat in vigorous growth until overtaken by froezin^ weather, and it is at this point tho trouble begins); but the un * rolled wheat his uo depth of ro.it, it lays upon the surface feeding upou the coo<;eiiial loose soil until overtaken hy winter, and then remains ijuicsceut until favorable weather for its growth.

My this time the fly makes its appearance, and now begins again i new bkttle for life with imp lired c >u<citution, and all hjniuse of not applying the proper remedy immediately after seeding. While living in Miltimore county I tested this matter thoroughly.
