"Anybody these plants, and the seed in which
they were plasted, and are now growing. No one can
deny the fact that tea plant imported from China will

We have just received from our friend s. Manville,
of Brown county, beautiful editorial chair. 1t IS
substantially made of the best Democratic materials,
being entirely composed of Hickory, in its native
unpublished state, it grew in the forests of Brown
There is no patch work about it-no whiggery in its
composition Like the noble Democracy of little
Brown it is unpretending, but strong, firm and I'M
yielding. We shall prize it highly. It's just the
thing for US. We are against all these modern i'm

oldfashioned Democracy and the old fashioned hick-
