j 'THE YELLOWS IN PEACH TREES.
'Tho in-pruning, or the shortening of the
' branches of the peach trees, and the application
of ashes, is recommended as a cure or pre-
Tpntivo of the yellows in peach trees. Of the
efficacy of this treatment wc know nothing but
, front report ; but this wc do know, that ashes
is 4rnost excellent manure fr most fruits, and
r Lolicvc it to be well adapted to the one in ques-
t . ' i- , . - ' .
ttotu If the uiscae proceeds Irom over tuxuri
ant vegetation, the shortening of the limbs, if
I judiciously done, would servo as a corrective.
; It is said that this operation may be performed
i ihiir month, and that the quantity of ashes is a
j peck of unspent, and double the quantity of
rJcachcd for each tree. It i recommended that
j i it lie placed around the trunk of each tree. If
I ij this really be a cure, or preventive, it will prove
:.. ) a great dcsideratum'ux the culture of this deli
! clrwi$ friit, which, in certain sections of our
1 country, has suffered so severely for years from
j tho.yeilows, and,las the experiment is not ex
pensive, we trust, that peach culturists may be
induced to try it, and report their success or
failure, at tho case may be, for publication in
our journal. In lestiug its efficacy, it would be
xvoll to leavo a fow diseased trees untreated, as
by-so doing the virtue of the treatment would
bo fairly teilod. We believe that half a peck
of unleachcd ashes would be enough for a tree.
rttr' How singul r it is, that so many
shoull be of opinio that Lewis Cass did
mak a speech at sometime in favor of
the f ilmot Proviso. Mr. Yancey asserts
it in! he following extract of his speech at
Char! eston but Mr. Yancey goes a whole
bar's! length beyond anything we have
seen!; slse where, and affirms that he, the
saidlLewis Cass, was the originator of
that delectable article, which he now pre
tends, at least, to repudiate :
Asian evidence of the moral power the
South can wield when united, Mr. Yan
cey jfave a brief history of the views of
Gen.: -Cass on the Proviso.! He alluded to
certa n developments made by Mr. Rath
bun, in ex-M. C, in the Utica Convention,
which showed that Gen, Cass had been
the diiginalor of the Proviso had induc
ed certain members of tbeillouse of Rep
resentatives to tack it on to another mea
sure in that body, as the great principle
uportlwhich the North could and would
be aijied and carried by the Provisoists
had promised to support the move; and
had, in the U. S. Senate, actually endors
ed itjin a few remarks upon it, as correct
in principle ! This was, of course, before
the SSouth had been aroused to action ;
but, continued Mr. Y., no sooner had we
spok$n in firm and united jones, than the
Nortern Democracy became alarmed
lest it should be deserted by the South
and left in a minority; (antl that to a po
liticiln is the ne plus ultra of political
punishment) and began to tremble, and
finally to leceder Of course tins quite
intcrsling change in the public sentiment
of the Democracy was not unnoted by so
keenjjan observer of the political atmos
phere as Gen. Cass. His own opinion
changed in a corresponding degree. He
descried bis poor bantlings andJeft it un
protected in the hands ot those political
midlives, Wilmot, Bnnkerholl and liath-
He very ingenuously confesses to
interesting change,' in his letter to
CauglU in riVoicn LYc.--Tho intelligent
reader will recollect thai when General Harri
son was the Whig candidate for the Presidency,
in 11840, he was denounced by the Democratic,
or Locofoco party, as a coward, who skulked
from the battle of the Thames, in October, 1813.
Some of them went so far as to affirm that he
was two miles from the field of action, picking
huclde-berries," ( whortleberries,) all the time
that the battle was going on. When reminded
that it was too late in the! season for this fruit,
they turned it off by saying that they were
" winter huckleberries," just then beginning to
ripen, and the " petticoat hero " was out after
a bait, while Colonel Johnson killed Tecumseh
and won the battle!. Now they claim immea
surable glory for Gen. Cass, who' was present
in this battle of the! Thames, acting as the Vol
unteer Aid of General Harrison ! What ! and
Harrison two miles off picking " huckle.ber
ries !" Now these clamorous patriots must ad
mit the one or the other of two things : either
that they were guilty of a mean and wanton
perversion of the truth in Regard to Gen. Har
rison, or that they are -novv trying to lie Gen.
Cass into the battle of the Thames as the Vol
unteer Aid of Gen. Harrison. They can take
whichever horn thev please : for in either case
they are unworthy of the confidence of an hon
est people. Those who undertake to gel along
by prevarication, ought to have good memories.

ing extracts of the report
speecii, which appeared in the Mercury
of thd 12th InsL : I
" lie (Mr. Y.) alluded to certain devel
opments made by Mr. Ilathbun, an ex
M. Cl, in the Utica Convention, which
shoVi;d that Gen. Cass had been the orig
inatof of the Proviso," &c.
Th j answer was : Gen. Cass voted
agaitist that veto of Mr. Polk, and if we
put tHis in, we will condemn our nominee 1'
The first error consists the word " origi
nator Gen. Cass, 1 belive, cannot be just
ly charged with having! originated the
Wiltfiot Proviso however liable to the im
putation of being at one time its advocate.
The facts to which I alluded are thus re
ported in the official proceedings of the
late -Utica Convention. ; I extract from
the speech of Mr. Ilathbun:
" Mr. President, I know very well the
views and feelings of that Senator (Gen.
Cass)in the month of August 1840
On the dav that Congress adiourried. and
at th;c! time that Senator Davis, of Mass.,
spakfe P to the adjournment of the Sen
ate, oh the Wilmot Proviso, I met the Sen
ator jat the railway depot;in Washington,
any rode near to him, and conversed free
ly wljh him between that place and Bal
timore The Senator appeared some
what excited, spoke frceiy and with a
good, ileal of energy on the subject of the
proviio. He stated to mcj that every Nor-
thcmlDemocratic Senator had agreed to
votcjpr it, and but for Mr. Davis's speech
would have voted for it. i He said, repea
ted lyj that " he regretted very much that he
couldnot have recorded Ju$ vote for it be
fore tic adjournment." : " This, sir,
continued to be his language all the way
to Michigan, as I understand."
Mf. Rathbun then went on to relate an
other interview between Gen. Cass, Mr.
HrinorhofT, of Ohio, and himself, at the
nextfSession of Congress,!in which, after
Mr. ll. had urged reason for pressing the
Proviso to a vote in both branches of Con
gresjs, Gen. Cass replied :j" O't, if it comes
to the vote, I am with you, you knourf " Of
course you are, was the reply ; and thus
WE OBJECT TO THE TESTIMONY.
The Locofoco papers are publishing a letter
written by General Uass tnmselt in 184,
which, they say, " is a sufficient refutation of
the calumny of Federalism I"
In this! letter General Cass says : " I am a
member of the Democratic party, and have been
so from my youth up. I was first called into
public life by Mr. Jefferson, thirty-six years
ago, and am a firm believer in the principles
laid dovva by him."
We object to the testimony. It is not com
petent. Y ho ever heard ot making the declara
tions of a culprit, denying the perpetration of a
crime when its commission was charged upon
him, evidence to acquit him on his trial. It
cannot be admitted. And the attempt to get it
in shows the straits to which the defence is re
duced.
But this letter shows two things yea, three
of them : It shows that Genj Cass was accused
of Federalism long before Jhe was nominated
for the Presidency by the Baltimore Convention.
It shows that at the period which he fixed
upon as the dividing point of time between his
youth and manhood, was 1806, when, accord,
ing to his published life, he was about twenty.
four years of age. And it seems to us that he
might have been responsible for his own ac
lions before that time. William Pitt was Pre-
mier of England at twenty-five.
And it, shows, furthermore that either Mr.
Cass, or the aforesaid life of Mr. Cass, is un.
worthy of credit ; for that life says, that he
commenced his public career as a Legislator
of tho Territory of Ohio. Argus.

Capt. Otis Caldwell, one of the Demo

" 1 beg leave to say, that being a Re

hearty support to General Taylor, and
thereby contribute to the furtherance of
the principles advocated by Washington,

The Valley Whig says :

From the Nashville Eagle.
The Frankfort Commonwealth, in the
height of its admiration for the tried and
unwavering devotion of the Whigs of the
" Gibraltar district" in this State, cries
"Huzza for the gallant Whigs of the
mountains I" and gives a letter from an
old and tried friend of the Mountain dis
trict, who says :
Tell the boys down in the 'settlements
to go to work: If they could witness the
enthusiasm produced by the news of Old
Zacks nomination, it would put them all
to work in his cause, lest in the grand
struggle in November they may be dis
tanced by the never-flinching Whigs of
the mountains. You have seen some
thing of our people in the times of high
political excitement, but if you will come
up in the course of the next six weeks we
will show you how we manage a canvass
for the Old Hero of Buena Vista. You
may rely upon it this Congressional dis
trict will give a majority for Taylor and
r illmore of four thousand ! Set the fig
ures down, and if I am not very much
deceived we will exceed th1 number.
" This" (says the Commonwealth) "is
the language of a plain old tasionhed fur
mer Whig, who resides in a central coun
ty in the Mountain district. From other
parts of the State the same encouraging

may rest assured that Kentucky will do

Our advises (says the Eagle) are to the

to be honest. Greenup county, it will be

THE FOURTH JULY.
t
The late Anniversary of American Indepen
dence was celebrated in this Town, pn Tues
day, with a greater degree of animation than
for many years before, j The day was ushered
in by the firing of guns and the ringing of bells.
the music of the one and the roar of-the other,
strangely blending, were well calculated to im
press one with the importance of the event, so
long ago enacted, but thus commemorated by
the descendants of those who lived 71 years
ago-
At an early hour the military from the coun
try, composed of volunteer companies of Cap.
tailis, Stirewalt and Correll, were seen pouring
into Town, besides a great many in citizens
dress, including persons from other counties.
At 9 o'clock, the Marshalls of the day, mount
ed on horseback, were seen dashing to and fro,
bringing the mass of people into line ; and
at ten, the whole, in procession Military, Sons
of Temperance, citizens, &x. moved forward
to the Lutheran Churchy where, after the read
ing of the Declaration of Independence by Mr.
Robert W. Long, a Temperance Address by
J. J. Summerell, and an Oration by J. Clarke,
E?q., were delivered, both of which were as
happy and appropriate to the occasion as they
were creditable to their authors. These speech-
es were prefaced by Temperance OJes and
National Airs, sung by the Ladies, in strains
so sweet and harmonious, as to stir the most
inanimate soul.
At 2 o'clock the procession was again form
ed, and marched to the centre of Town. Here
the T emperance Society, and citizens separated
from the military. The former retired to the
dining room of Mr. John I. Shaver, lo partake
of a repast prepared to ;ordcr. After dinner,
but while yet seated, thejRev. Mr. Baker, Mr.
Geo. L. Gould, Rev. Mr.; Allen, Rev. Mr. CofT-
man, and J. M. Love, W. P., were severally
called upon for a speech,1 to which they respon
ded in brief, but extremely neat style. The com
pany broke up amidst mutual congratulations,
and various and numerous were the remarks of
the Sons,' as to how John I.' can do up things
in his line. The military, after firing a number
of salutes, marched into ihe grove just opposite
the Hotel of Col. H. L. Robards, where was
spread an ample board, also prepared to order,
by Mr. Willie Rufiy. From this cool retreat,
