On the motion for Printing the DISCLOSURES Of

MIR. KEY made some remarks which were
not ali distinctly heard by the reporter. He
wished that the publication could have been
accompanied with some refutation of its con-
tents, as it would SO to alarm the people with
an idea Of the existence Of spirit in one Sec
ton Of this country which he was sure did not
exist. He WAS not only for committing the
subject, but for following up with full and
prompt examination. Sure l am, said Mr..
Key, that the people Of Europe have mistaken
the American character. Whatever differ
ence Of opinion may exist among ourselves,
there can be none as to the propriety of sup
porting the integrity of the union. There can
be no doubt that the people o. this country, Of
all descriptions, viii rally around the consti.
tuition. France bad heretofore supposed she
possessed party in this country but there
was not man of sense in the country who be-
lieved it. Foreign nations would err in this

Ma, SNoWDEN,
have been much pleased in observing
the introduction of Herd Grass in the conn-
ties OF Fauquier, Fairfax ard Alexandria. 1t
is much thought Of in New England, where
it has been cultivated on low lands above a
hundred wears. AS its character is not gene
rally known in this neighborhood, l send goa
an account of it, for the Information Ct those
Of our country brethren who are unacquainted
with It.
g 1t is particularly adapted to wet Low
grounds. 1t mats aid ccnSoiida'es tic sur
face, continues many years, excluding every
other Grass, and all weeds. Many worthless
swampy spots in the lower parts Of the state
of New Jersey, have been rendered valuable
grazing grounds by this Grass Loaded wag-
CONS have passed over places, which, two or
three years before sowing it, would scarcely
admit an animal to walk through without sink
ing. 1t makes excellent Hay, and cattle are
SAID to prefer it to that made of either Glover
Or Timothy, it is more succulent than IL
notify though not so coarse. The same
bulk Of Herd Grass Hay. will weigh one
third more than the same bulk of Timothy
Hay. Four tons is a common crop from one
acre. 1t yields no second crop, but affords
excellent late and early pasture. 1t was first
brought TO New-jersey from New-England by
the late VIM. Porter, Esq who resided near
Mount Holly and introduced into Penn
sylvan,a, about ten or twelve years since.
e The Red TOP and 1;'hte TOT, are only va
riations of the above species OF Grass. The
latter is the larger Of the two The Red Top
is particularly valuable, as it will grow and
seed the first year on banks, when no other
Grass will thriye.---Dors. Ency. z'9l. 8, fol 1877
