eh much spring labor, that it it hardly possible
to drive any considerable quantity
of lime, from any distance, at that season
Of the year. When it ia new froin the

thp moisture necessary Tor bringing Iho i
turnips into leaf; in thia cnw, tho lime

considerable thickness, which will oiako

In regard to green crop*, Mr. Pntersnt,

From a letter received at this office from New

" Our cause goes bravely on. The information
from the country is gratifying in the highest de.

people are beginning to take up tho presidential
question in ? proper spirit. They have begun to
express their opinions and preferences, with the in

is, that the attempt made by aoinn of our Der.io

of the candidate* for the Preaideney, ban uroueud
a spirit of inquiry which will stop short of nothing

will not believe that u democrat can lie governed

While on this suhjoet, wo would state, for the
information of our friends out of the State, that
during the Session of our last legislature, a Convention
of the Democracy was held, and delegates
appointed to attend the General Convention ; und

The importance of the one term principle advocated
by Gen. Jackson in his messages?and np.
proved by the whole party, becom.-s daily more
appaient. Its adoption will secure the represent*,
