but do know that, if cabbage stumps OF any
variety are set out in the spring 10 coed or
der. one, two, three. or even four good sound
heads may be raised from one stump; and
this they will do, year after year, until they
die bv accident They are managed in the
following manner: When the upper, mar
now leaved ones. which would bear seed,
are carefully rubbed Off and likewise all
the lower, round Ieaved ones, whish will

of the slump and soil are capable OF bring
lug to perfection AT our cattle show, last
week. Mr. John Drew. presented several
such stumps, with from one to four heads OF
low Dutch cabbage on each, which have
borne for three years. He sets them on:
in earth in the cellar in autumn, cuts off the
heads when required for use, and places
them pretty thick in the garden in spring

MISSOURI

Recent movements in this State indicate
that her Democracy is undergoing very ma
terial change II is generally known that The
editor Of the Missouri Reporter has been de-
nounced by COL Benton for opposing certain
currency bills, and advocating State Conven-
ton TO revise the Constitution, and the passage
OF law to district the State for the election of
Representatives to Congress. These are the
issues to be met in the contest between Benton
and Penn-a contest forced on the latter BY The
former The struggle, if we may judge from
present appearances, will be warm, and the re-
suit doubtful. BY the late papers from Missouri,
we learn that the liberal Democrats, (caIed in
Missouri the Pennocrats,) have defeated the
ultra portion Of the party in Howard county
in Old Howard, the seat of the power of the
Central Clique, through the instrumentaty of
which Col. Benton has so long ruled the State.
Judge Edwards is Col. Bentons candidate for
Governor, and the old leaders in Howard county
were in favor of choosing delegates TO the State
Convention, pledged TO support Judge E. The
liberal Democrats determined 10 elect delegates
pledged to support Judge Earickson, and they
succeeded by large majority. Prior to the
meeting in Howard, at which the ultras were
so signally defeated an effort was made by Col
Benton's friends 10 procure pledge from Judge
Earckson TO abide by the decision of the State
Convention. The Judge refused TO give any
pledge whatever; and, Notwithstanding that re-
fusal, a majority of the Democrats of the county
determined to support him for Governor The
Glasgow Pilot says:
Judge Earickson is known TO be most sterling
and liberal Democrat whose age and service in the
cause entitle him TO it. highest honors.
Besides, he occupies the true ground in refer
ence to State policy-he is in favor of the call of
Convention to amend our Cons,itution-equalizng
representation and limiting the Judicial tenure He
also in favor of districting the State for the cleo
ton of members to Congress"
The Pilot could have added that Judge E. is
also opposed to the celebrated currency bills
and necessarily hostile 10 the whole policy of
the uItras. This defeat of the CLIQUE, at the
seat OF Its power, is important. Overthrow in
their stronghold, the caba will not, for the fu-
ture, be regarded as invulnerable at any other
point, and its prostra,ion would therefore seem
to be inevitable
Aletter from gentleman in Missouri sta,es, that
the seal otreprobalion will be put upon currency
bills and self executing laws; that The Stale will
certainly be. dstricted, and that Convention
will be held to equalze representation in the Lee
gislature-Col. Benlon's objections to the con-
trary Notwithstanding.

THE DEMOCRATIC REVIEW FOR JANUARY,

trait OF the late SENATOR LINN. There is a re-
markabie article in this number prepared by the
direction of The Jacobin Club, and submitted.
before publication, 10 Mr.. Van Buren, himself,
who has added notes TO it, explaining what he
meant by the non-commiltal phraseology in his
famous letter 10 the invisible Indiana Caucus.
The writer commences with the assertion that
. The Democratic Presidential nomination IS
already made, and that Mr. Van Buren, is
the victim. II the nomination is made, The
election is over. The father of "leg -treasu-
rers" is defeated by majority OF 25O,OOO-ha-
wing received the vote Of only five Stales-per-
haps only four.

article at our leisure.
