KEEP FRUIT TREES STRAIGHT. Trees in an open exposure often acquire ' a leaning position from the prevailing winds. Thia should not be suffered. They should be set up erect, and, indeed, thrown into the wind at an angle of ten or fifteen de gress, in order to bring them ultimately in to a straight position. This is best dooe by obtaining crotcheJ limb from the woods, eight to twelve feet long, and placing the butt end, which should be sharpened, on the ground, and the crutch end either against tb trunk, immediately beneath the branch ing point, or against a large outer limb, Jf more convenient, securing it from chafing in the crotch, by a padding of straw, or litter, and setting the tree at once up to the desired angle of elevation. Loosen, also, the ground on the wind ward side of the root, so that it will not bind, and the work is ac complished. Let this lie done when the tree begins to make its summer growth, or soon after leafing out.- One seasorvif the tree is thrifty, will be all that is required. If. however.- it tSTobstinate, repeat the trial another year. The remedy is sure. Even large trees which have acquired a perma nent lean, my be thrown into an erect pos ture, by loosening th earthat the root, and. occasionally cutting off an obstinate large root, without injury to its growth, and tons be made slightly. An erect tree will be longer lived, aod more fruitful, than a lean- - ing oae, and not half so subject to casualty as jf left to it o wn guidance. A Fact Wobth Kbowijio.

SANDERS, ESQ, TO THE RALEIGH STANDARD. To thb Editors or tbb Stakdabd: uenurmm: loar comments npon my circular, adtlressed to the voters ot Johnson county, are" such as to require a reply- not for the purpose, however, of changing or attempting to change any opinion which you may have chosen to express; but with the view of defending myself against-the false position in which you have labored to place me. I make no reply to the rhetori cal flourish with which you hold forth the name of "Linn JJ. banders, fcso. -no re ply to what you say about "the stock of isdom which I "possess no reply to the whim, caprice or vanity" so logically introduced, and no reply to the estimation placed upon the circular referred to, 1 leave all this to be judged of by those who know me well, and by those who have read, or may read, the address which has called forth such little personalities when grave ques tions were involved. To reciprocate the tenor of your article would be contrary to the whole coarse of my life. You have failed to provoke me to it Internal Im provements, Distribution and Deposit are the subjects upon which vour assault is founded. To then. I intend" to confine my self. Now, sir, in regard to the first, I ask you if it is not "a strange plank" in the plat form of North Carolina Democracy not having been put there until aa late as 1854 1 J ask you if it is not "vague, indefinite and uncertain e l ask you if "different con structions were not placed Upon it in diffe rent sections" of the State ? If you answer these' questions in the affirmative, as you are bound to do, then yoa have done me great injustice in your pbillippic against me for having, in n letter to my constituents, and in conformity with their views, attack ed a resolution, w hi eh places them in anew and false attitude, and which they believe has done much mischief, and is likely to do more, unlf s is strioken frm the platform, and this party "tendency" speedily checked. Until tnese questions are disposed of I need go no further upon this subject, except tOi say, that Gen. Dockerydid what I could! not, and no one else would do, and that by j his motion to reconsider I had an opportu nity to represent my constituents. Place ' yourself in my fM.tition,, ,. Would you not ft-el grateful to him I And, if grateful, would you be ashamed or afraid to acknowledge it publicly I especially when millions of dol lars were involved, and your constituents deeply interested. To give an account of the transaction to the people of my county, and to thank him for his agency in placing it in my power to carry out their views, is all that I did. And yet you say that (!) he eulogises Gea.Dockery as the embodi ment of statesmanship, judgment, and pa triotism." Your object is too palpable to require comment. - But do me the favor to read the paragraph again "as a matter of simple justice," and you will find that in your hot baste to prejudice my democratic friends against me you have permitted "young America and progress" to run ram pant. - Upon reflection you may yet say of me, at least as much as I said of Gen. Docke ry, that "much as I object to some of bis political opinions and associations, I believe thst in this matter he wssr actuated by the purest and most patriotic motives."' But enough on this subject. The main question is yief to be disposed of. - You charge tltnt "Distribution is high toped federal doctriue." AH agree that something mutt be done with the surplus in the United State Treasury .The difference between ui is this : Yoa are for deposit or "loan;" I am for giving the money to the people. Let us exsmine this matter a tittle. I understand federal doctrine to be the con centration of power in the generel govern ment. Money is power so said to be o considered in politioal eeoaomy. Your no- tmoQ u sor me government to retain this Barque, or the right to collect it, if deposit- 4 ed or loaned. Mine I lode vide it t tha States so that Ihe government v '.'1 La no interest in or control over it. You rr I tho State debtors, and of oouraa vSoeni! to the amount or their inaiDieo'ness: -1 n... for milking them independent. ' If your p' should be adopted, and North Carols: should taka tha money on depoxit or ."loan,' it would not ba prudent trt apply it to the payment of our Htate debts, because you may have to pay It back.'. If you should so apply It, however, you would live) in c n linual dread, that something might lurr -p, by which the government would be Indn. 1 to collect it Suppose the Abolitionists should be in the majority, in what a pr. dicsment would North Carolina be j.l.ite i? Dut 1 will not pursue this idea further at present, Bui, on I you say it will nem-r te demanded. Why owe it then? Why nut distribute it at once? What is the diCtr encet in respect to the amount, none. But in another respect, a wide a radical difference. Deposit or loan keeps power over the Slates. Distribution pivet t; - to the States, andleaves them freeol restrnis t. Whose plmifion is then the more fetl r j' Which is the better Democrat State rr.' democrat! The wriler of the article which I am replying or myself I I ' ihe decision lo the candid andimpni ' all parties.," A choice between these natives must le made. -1 have clu . take North Carolina's share oft!' anu nav our deots witu u jiui c.-h, ed mainly on account tf Internal Improve ments. You have chosen to take it s a lone to be refunded when demanded s and for thia difference of opinion, you charge that I " have deliberately taken posit m With the Know Nothing faction, and "have fallen like Lucifer, to rise no more." Have vounjr America and progress, gone so far s to tolerate an editor in reading out of the Democratic ranks upon such flimsy pretexts whoever he may mark for proscip- tion 7 I thought the days of the triumvi rate were over. "Upon what meathnalni our Cossar fed that be has grown so great ?" Quest md fintm ee ejrenuia jucuibU oat- daciar . i ' Yoa further tell my. constituent i they will reeret my coarse" on distribution. Why not tell (hem on Internal improve ments also, since you have denounced me alike for both ? Whilst the Democrats of Johnston are true to their principles, they are nevertheless free and independent, nd will scorn any effort of the Standard to dictate to them. They act with the Dem ocratic party, not because the Standard is the organ, but because they .believe Ihe party rizht. They feel themselves under no obligations, except tosopport principle, for tbev, as near the centre as tbey are. have received no share upon a division of the loaves and fishes. Among the names you mention, two were applicants for office. One of them for Treasurer, with ample qualifications, and with no objection, that 1 know of. except that be was from Johnston. The other, whose name is but another word for Democracy, and who has been hunted down and prosecuted for opinion's sake, wanted a clerkship, an office for which no man in North Carolina is better qualif ed. But A was from Johnston Other. t. ive applied for smaller offices, but theytov were from Johnston, end all of them were at dif ferent timet beaten. Still they stand firmly by their colors, and whilst tbey awerve from no principle, they tolerate no dicta tion- I rue, some ol them may diner wun me at present, as to the disposition to be made of the public money. But when the alternative is presented Distribution tor Deposit-Hnost pf the in will, io my Opinion, agree with me to take the money as their rurbt. instead ol borrowing if, to a return ed when called for. Some reasons for do ing so I have given. - I will give others when they desire tt. "Io conclusion, allow me to say that the shafts aimed at ma fall harmless and unnoticed harmless because of conscious honesty of purpose unnoticed because they involve no principle in which myonstituents are interested. I will say further, that your editorial is not written with your usual cantion and judgment, and that in undertaking to read me out of the Democratic ranks, you read out a great many of your Democratic friends, not only in JofcnttMi. ihii tnrougnout me oiate. , Do me the favor to publish the above and oblige, yours, &a,- v - ' ' ' JLJjvIM li.
