oasly to expect much. Local pride has
been there appealed TO in the behalf OF
Mr. Van Buren,, and although against the
wings he could not at the last trial carry
his native State, vet rs ut present advised,
we are inclined to believe him the strong
est candidate amUng the Democratic par.
ty Of that quarter We have mingled Mr..
Van Buren's nlme with the question of
time, as we think that all candid men must
admit that his prospects materially depend
upon the urgency with which his claims
can be lmmedlatel y pressed. In our own
State of Alabama, as far as country meet
ings have affected, to express the opinions
of the people, there can be no doubt that
late Gay is preferred, and we look 10 hear
the same declared by our State Convention
whenever it shall meet. We have then
little scruple in announcing our own opin.
IONS, based as they are upon general facts,
and upon the indications afforded to US by
the people OF our vicinity, with whom we
have most to do, and whose wishes will al
ways have material influence upon the
course of conduct that we may adopt. 1t
is pleasant TO agree with them in this mat
ter, and yet more gratifying to have our
joint determination by the action of the
great body Of our brother democrats
throughout the whole extent Of our coun.
try Alabama Tribune.

caucuseS in Missouri, Tennessee, New
York AID slate convention in Virginia,
insist upon forced nomination in the AL
tumn OF tho present year, which ii we are
to Judge from the general outcry against
it, is by no means agreeable 10 the gen
eral sentiment of the individual cIllzens
in the states thus appearing in The minori-
ty. Since their Informal appointment
and unauthorized announcement of del
egates was made, the MsSoutiins, as we
learn from the Van Buren, prints of that

again, and we are hence entitled to disre.

ginia there is little doubt that the increas-

the late state convention will speedily in

A NEW AND VALUABLE GRASS.

A gentleman connected with the British
EXPEDITION under Capt. Ross, to the South.
ern Polar seas, has published the descrp-
ton of new grass found at the Falkland
Islands, called Tussac grass, which prom
Ises TO lecome most valuable addition to
the farmers store Of food for all seasons,
especially in those northery attitudes and
in the colder and moi,ter lands.
1t is very possible that this Tussac grass
may lie among the valuable things brought
home by our own exploring expedition in
The same seas.
The splendid tussack grass is the gold
and glory Of these islands. 1t will, hope
yet make the fortune Of the Orkney and
irish Ian1holders Of peat boys. Every an
imal here feeds upon It with avdty, ana
tatrens in short time. 1t may pc planted
and cut like The guinea grass Of the West
Indies. The blades are about six feet
long, and from 300 to 800 shoots spring
fom one plant. | have proved by several
experiments, that one man cut 100 bun
dies in day, and that horse will greedy
devour five Of those in the same lime.--
Indeed so fond of it are both horses and
cows, that they will eat the dry tussack
thatch from the roofs ofthe houses in pre-
ference 10 good grass. Abo-. c. :..o...cs
of the root eats like the mountain cabbage.
1t loves a rank wet peat bog, with the sea
spray over it. Indeed, when the sea beats
with the greatest violence. and The spray
is carried farthcrcst, then The tussack grass
thriyes the best on the soil it loves. All
the smaller islands, though SINE of them
are as 'arge as Guernsey, are covered with
;ussack, viii h is nutritious all the year

inferior desert ptions have reccded nearly

ted States relative to the weather for SOW
ing the new crop are looked Tor with some
interest. The market presents no striking
feature, and is, upon the whole, less buoy
ant Than when the iiibernia sailed.
Parliament met after the Easter HOLIDAYS
on Monday, April "a; and, the following
night, Sir Robert Peel entered into some
