Amsricanism in New Jersey.

The Americans Of Trenton are sound :
at a recent meeting of one of the Councils
in that city, resolutions we're passed con-
demning the action of the National COun-
Gil in adopting resolutions favorable to sla'
very,-denouncing the repeal of the Mis-
souri, Compromise as an infractiOn of the
plighted faith of the nation, and demand
ng its restoration, n,--shat settlement of
the slavery question effected by such pat
riots as Clay, Calhoun, MourOe aud Adams,
should be very sacred to the American
people, and its disturbance by those trait
ors to freedom, Pierce and Douglas, and
their fellow conspirators, be condemned
and denounced by every true friend Of
Freedom. The proposition of the Amerl-
can State Council of Pennsylvania to hold
a National Council at Cincinnati in Janu-
ary next, was endorsed, and resolution
adopted approving of the action of those
delegates from the Free States who pro-
tested against and opposed the adoption Of
the Slavery resolution in the Philadelphia
Convention. We repeat, the Americans
Of Trenton are sound, and New jersey
will be found on the same platform with
the Americans Of the other Free States.

SINGULAR CAsE,--It is thought that

embankment, through swamp. "Jcrsey
lightning is oftcucr the cause of these dis
asters, than the natural clement which
comes with the storm cloud. Such cas-
uality from lightning, may not be impoSsi

Save Your Plums Now.

We begin to thiuk this can be done
without Mr.. Matthews, if not with him.
We were yesterday on the grounds OfOne Of
our best horticulturists, and saw the sppli-
cation and have some faith in its success.
Our friend thinks there is no chance for
mistake about it's efficacy. lie informed
us that heapplied it last year, after the cur
eulio had Cegun its ravages aud that it only
saved those which were unstung, but many
of the plums on which the insect had lef;
his card healed up and ripened well. The
liquid enters the opened wound and destroys
the egg. This is the only remedy he has
ever found to avail against this slippery en-
emy Of one Of our best fruits. His receipt
is
One peck Of unslackcd lime, Six pouhd
of salt, One barrel Of water
The mixture is to be applied with
common garden syringe. If one application
lie not sufficient repeat it. A single appli
cation answered with him last year
No time is to be lost; as the young pIum
are already set, and tho enemy has bcgul
to show himself. Ita syringe is not to b'
had sprinkle on the liquid in some othe
way. The mixture is cheap and easily ap
piled, and every man who has plum tre
should try it. This is the most philisoph
ical remedy we have yet seen suggested
and we commend it with more confdenc
than most new things to the notice Of frui
growers. If it answers our expectations,
will be worth millions to the country
Plums can be grown on loose, sandy loam

Saving Glover Seed.

ThsdiHealties Of saving the seed are
Imaginary, the process is simple and easy
After the clover field has been cut or gra-
zsd let the second growth come on When
about two-thirds oflhe heads have turned
brown, cut, with a cradle, throwing the
grass into double swaths, and cure. When
cured rake up in the. morning while the
dew continues on, into convenient parcels
for loading with pitch fork, and as soon
as all danger from beating is Obviated, get
it under shelter, either in the barn, or pro-
tected in the field. Be careful not to put
it away while any moisture remains in the
plants, and, on the other hand; don't han
die it rudely when verv dry, where you
don't want the seeds to fall, for in that con-
ditiOn the heads shell freely. Having shell
tered it you may wait if you choose, till
winter affords leisure for thrcshing, or trea-
ding out.
The second crop produces more seed than
the first, and hence the economy Of first
cutting, or grazing the field, though from
that cut for hay, prudent, careful hus.
bandmau might easily save enough seed
for his own use. 1t is believed that more
seed may be saved by moving when about
two thirds Of the heads have turned brown,
than at any other period; cut sooner, toe
many Of the seeds are unripe, and if later,
too many scatter out of the heads in Grad
ling and handling. If the heads break of
and fall through the fingers in cradliug
cover with cotton or linen cloth: Every
farmer may easily save his own seed There
is abundant time for clover to make GOOD
heads, well filed with seed, after the hogs
have been turned upon the rye, or after tho
first crop Of hay has been taken, and i
would surely be econimical to preserve &
small portion of the field fer saving seed.

From the Syracuse American Organ
SLAVERY AND KANSAS.

Jun v III A40 AAlNGAos
Mr. Howell Cobb, Of Georgia, has writ
ten letter on the present state Of Nation
al politics, which we find copied with ap-
proval in many Of the Southern Democrat
ic prints.
The extension Of Slavery is to be With
them, the real issue in the coming political
csmpaign-The specific point on which it
rs to turn, will be, Ms cobb says, the ad-
mission Of Kansas as Slave State into the
Union.
"The admission Of Kansas is the para
mount question ofthe day" The position
taken by Georgia in her last Legislature,
is that no man is worthy of political fellow
ship who denies the right of Kansas and
all other territories to come into the Union
with or without Slavery, as their people
may determine. This is the doctrine Of
the Democratic Party of this State and Of
the sound National Democrats ofthc north
Upon this basis the National Democrat
ic party will stand III the coming contest.
In her ranks there will be no place for
Free Sellers and Abolitionists. The man
who denies this doctrine should and will be
deemed unworthy Of fellowship in the
Democratic ranks. Presenting as the Ma
tioual Democracy do, this Catholic platform
to the country, the question comes home
to every Southern man as to his individual
duty in the matter. If wo desire the ad-
mission of Kansas and seek to establish on
u firm and lasting foundation the great prin'
ciple involved in the question of her admis.
SIGN, why should we not unite with the only
party that can and will enable US to effect the
object & X
Being in the minority iu Congress, We
are powerless to carry any measure except
by votes from the North. The policy
profess affords the only practicable MOOD
of securing the admission Of Kansas as q
Slave State, If it fails, we would be in the
same position as if We now abandoned oul
friends at the North and commenced at once
to rely upon our own resources. If on tht
contrary we succeed, we shall have carrieC
our measure, secured our equality and jus
rights aud at the same time preserved in
violate that American Union which ",
hold secondary in Importance only to tn
rights and principles it was designed toper
petuate."
Having stated the question in this ex
plicit and unequicocal way, Mr.. Cobb call
upon the people Of the South Of every par
ty and name tie rally to the standard Of til
old Democratic party. He reminds ther
that the patriotic Wings Of Virginia sac
rifced their party prcjudices to coalesco i
the election of Wise, tina. their success
should encourage the whole south to plac
themselves in position to defend the soutl
$ ern policy, on the question of Slavery, an
rally as a unit on the Democratic Nations
a Platform as upheld by the administratic
! of Gen. Pierce, and as promising most f,
i the South, most for success in the comm
Presidential campaign. Fusion is here pr
posed with the Democratic party on tt

A TIIT AT SoMEBoDY.-The New York
Sun says "we have heard of ladies who
will pay sixteen or eighteen dollars for a
new hat in Broadway, and yet cut down to
the lowest possible figure the price of work
which they give out to poor seamstfesses'
They will pay five dollars without a scru-
pie for the making of plain dress in a
fashionable Broadway establishment, where
girls sew ten or eleven hours day for
three dollars and a half a week; and il
they are afterwards obliged to employ an
unpretcnding dressmaker to alter it they
grumblc at paying her fair remuneration
for her services. Fashion is a hcartlesS
thing, the fruitful source Of folly, eztrqv
agance and dishonesty"
