REPRODUCTION OF THE PoTATo.-A paragraph is
going the rounds Of the newspapers relative to an
!. important discovery of method Of raising excel
lent potatoes from the seeds of the ball of the
plant" By the /" ball." we presume, is meant the
apple fruit of the potato, which contains the seed.
Now, to assert that it is only Just discovered that
the seed of tuberous-rooted plant will grow and
produce plants of its kind, is placing the botanical
knowledge of the asserer at very low ebb. The
seed of the potato has been used in England ever
since the potato was introduced there, the means
of producing new varieties of the plant, and some
of the best kinds Of the roots have been produced
by this means within our own knowledge.

DEMOCRATIC OPINION OF THE HARBoR VETO.

4
FRoM ruE clrygtAsD lDEAocRATIc) PLAIsDEALEn,
The Western Democracy hardly know what TO
think of the Veto. They have read il, and re-read
il, asking themselves the while, which are the spe
cifc appropriations 10 which the objection of un-
constitutionality is applicable; and, comparing
views after such examination, each section OF that
Western Democracy are found TO hold different
views. OF course, these differences. as one and
another become known, add doubt to, d ubt; and,
with every doubt added, il is just as much matter
of course that the trusting and friendly confidence
of some supporter Of the President is most seri-
ously impaired n
We are prepared to say that our views have
changed much since we have taken time and can
yassed well the language and doctrines of the veto
Yet we were staggered when we saw the following
short paragraph in an article sustaining the veto In
the last Washington Union. Speaking of the old
Republican school, (of '98, we presume1 itgoes on :
sThey pleased also with General Jacksons manly
and efficient veto the Maysvlle road BILL although it drew
the line too wide, and its doctrines liberal to admit
afterwards the passage OF which the National Intel
gencer in its article Of this morning. notices in contrast with
Mr. Folks veto The argument therefore, which II
draws from OF the presidents Of General Jacksons aJ
mnsraion, and their inconsistency with the recent veto
conclusive because still be proved that those
strictly consistent with the supreme lawhe
constitution itself"
Now what is the meaning of this That Young
Hickory has taken his constitutional stand on a
platform several inches ADORE that on which old
Hickory was content to plant himself? Is it that
James Knox Polk has made up his mind to repair
the damage done the Constitution of his country by
the Wjudged course of .4ndreW Jackson? And
are we to understand this as an official announce
ment Of the Presidents purpose that he shall, as
regards this matter of Western Harbor Improve
ment, adopt new. to w.t. his own individual con-
struction of the powers of the General Government
under the constitution thai he shall " bind or loose"
those powers as the bent of his incnations may
dictate that he shall pay regard to the " prece-
dents Of General Jackson's administration; - and
that, TO following in the footsteps of an illusri-
Gus predecessor, he is far from it /?
1t pains us to write in this tone. But how, in
Heavens name, can we do otherwise when we think
we see not the interests only, but the rights of the
people of the West sought to be stricken down by
a power whose breath of life that people gave
We are anxious to know positively whether the
organ speaks truly the sentiments Of the President
