His article, puaiishcd s une time sinr.e, on the bligii in fruit trees, and already re-published throughout the Uai n; the first sensi ale p.ap t written on that subject; although his modesty disclaims much of the merit; at once estahhshe I his claim to a fr uit place in the rank of cultivators and scientific observers; and that Mi Heecher will give his aid to the paar, is a stiifieient .gu-iran-tee that it will deserve the patronage of the public. Such a paper should he encouraged by Farmers, and especially the farmers of Kn- county. !t is a fact that our county is fal inj behiu I tiie times. From being the first of the counties in Indian i, it is eettin. to be the last; we have stood still where we were thirty years ago, whilst others have gone ahead. Hat this i not the time for particu'ars, I mast confine mvtlf to general, and two shall suffice. The largest portion of our firmars are acquainted wdth one only rotation of cmpa poor corn, pooror corn, poor"st corn, tlien ni-A'i oat, thou an excuse for wheat, and then poor com again. Hut hard times all the whiifr! A yet larger portion of our Farmers are entirely maoeent of any suspicion of tho qualities of first rate fruit, and there is not an orchard of bearing trees in the county which will furnish a succession of apples ripening from July to

May. We warn knowledge on all Agricultural subject. 'I he Indiana Far er and Gardener vvi'd give it to us cheaply. As an evidence of the cuifid "nee of the inoyt intelligent n Mghborhoo 1 in this paper, I ran state that Terre Haute Post Odice furnished forty and Fort Wayne forty-six subseribrrs on the receipt of the rii't number.

I wall not do it, and I will not countenance any man who will attempt such a system of imposition. This a specimen of Polkistieal consistency, of Locofoeo patriotism, and of Democratic honesty. This man had been for years past railing against the W 5i:g Tariff which protected him and all his country mm), with 'equal and exact justice' against foreign compe'ition. And now he woul I introduce a monopoly into this little community, place a tariif of his own making in every store, impede the fair course of trade in our own land, that he aral his fellow patriots, might exact double t rici s for thier own labor from their own neighbors Yhal then, said the Democrat shall wo do? I will tell you my opinion of the condiiion of our farmers and mechanics, the Whig replied. There is 110 reason whv any -cciea of mechanic's wmk should not bo 1'untisiicd a3 cheap in W "1cenae as anywhere else iu tho United States. Tiie' prices of all the necessaries of life rent, fuel, provisions arc as 1 w here as any w here, and genc.aally lower, and if our mechanic can not do it, it ij b -cause they want prudent management, or economy, 'or industry.
