senator Benjamin.

This Senator from Louisiana, has written a very
sensible letter against the Know Nothings He states
the grounds of his opposition to them as follows:
Because they anti-Repubican, in refusing
rights to all American citizens.
Is Because they violate the spirit, if not the very
letter of the Constitution, by the prescription Of cl
zens on the ground of their religious belief.
Because they are retrogression towards the er,
rors of the dark ages, in tending towards union OF
church and State union equ ally dangerous 10 civil
and religious liberty
Because they present issues addressed TO the pas
sons and preudices of the people, and thus tend to
divert their attention from those big her subjects over
which it is their duty to keep ceaseess watch.
Because, above all, they infringe that priceless
privilege of freeman, the right of independent per-
sonal action, guided by independent personal judg-
ment.
If not one of all these objections, insuperabe in
nv opinion, existed against this organization, repeat
that would refuse to icn body held together, not
by the ties of common belief in certain principles
and measures of public policy, hut simply by their
preference of themselves the right class Of men for
oficcholders Even if this preference were wise and
iudcious such an association does not deserve the
name OF party in republic! 1t lacks the essen
tial elements of One-t is baseIess tabrc, unSuO

!he action of the committee of the Legislature to
which was committed the subject of the formation of
a este constitution and the propriety of applying
lor ADMISSION into the Union, as follows
Shall Kansas be a State immediately
! The committee to whom was referred Dr. String.
fellows act to provide for the call of Convention to
form State Constitution reported that it would be
premature to provide for the calling of a Convention
to form State Constitution without first submitting
the question to the people at the polls to whether
they desire such step 10 be taken, even if the pro-
position was concluded that we posses or will pos.
sess by the proposed time the requisite population
There are other reasons of importance which would
tend 10 the conviction that the bill is premature
which will appear from mere suggestion. Kansas
will apply for admission a slave State and if ad
mtted at all it must be done partly by Northern
votes In the present state Of fanatical excitement
existing in some of the non-saveholding States there
is some doubt whether would be admitted into
the Union with slavery clause in Constitution
for it will be charged that Kansas does not possess
the requisite population-a charge which cannot b.
satiscally and officially refuted. In view of all the
circumstances, the committee of the opinion tina
Kansas should not apply for admission into the Unor
as long as there is question as to her right to de
} mand admission by virtue of the Constitution anC
laws of the United States
, The committee herewith propose substitute Il
the said bill which provides the ntatory step, thu
calling of said convention. They would, therefore
recommend the rejection of said bill and the passag
of the substitute.

Dear Erpress The Freemans Gather and son,
have Just left the jail of this place in custody of the
Sheriff of Brunswick county and strong guard, to
be taken to Brunswick Court House, where they Will
be tried before an examining Court Tomorrow. There
is some apprehension that rescue will be attempted
on the road, and some suspicion entertained that
there is large gang, with whom the Freemans have
been associated for the purpose of kidnapping negroes
The Jail of Brunswick county having been b1rnt
sometime SINCE the court of that county selected the
jail here for the safe keeping of the prisoners.

Agricultural DiUiS1on Of the Patent Ottce-Pre-
paration and Planting Of Iobacco.-In looking
the proof-sheets Of the agricultural report, find
an excellent treatise the raising, planting, and
management of tobacco, by Mr. J. F. Edmunds, of
Mecklenburg, Virginia, Il gentleman who has had
twelve years OF successful experience in the Cutiva-
ton of this plant We mako the following extract:
Old land, or that which has been cultivated, af
ter thrown into horizontal beds four feet wide, and
when ready for planting, hand should be selected
prepared with three feet long, which is 10
be his guide in stepping off the beds. With lit
tie attention, and measuring occasionally, he can
be accurate in the length of his step, which should
be three feet. The hoe hands follow on, and at
track or foot print deep and thorough chopping is
made that the space for the reception of the plant
is deep and fine The plant is then inserted, and
mark descending from it 10 the water furrow is
made with the planting stick. The object of this
mark is to drain off the water, and prevent the soil
| from running together and becoming hard about the
plants by hasty rains, which sometimes very in
jurous. There is diversity of opinion whether
beds, as a preparation for planting, preferable
to hills | am decidedly in favor of beds. On high
lands half the amount of labor usually devoted to
hill, if bestowed on the bed, will make much finer
and softer situation for the plant. In making hills
much labor lost; the top of the hill, being made
up, must be cut off dragged down before planting.
In preparing the bed every lick counts all the labor
is condensed and confined to the space for the recep-
ton of plants Beds retain moisture longer than
hills being not so much exposed to the action OF the
sun and winds: and this is of great consequence,
especially when the plant is dropping and weak from
! transpanting - Washington Union.

GENERAL. Wool AND THE ADMINISTRATION
The administration at Washington, particularly
the military portion Of it--Generals Pierce
Gushing, and Davis-has commenced a severe
onslaught against the position and character of
General Wool, now in California. This war on
Wool is worthily initiated BY the sneaking pub
LEGATION Of some official correspondence between
Generals Davis and Wool, in one Of the Seward
organs. The Secretary at War endeavors to
show that General Wool was inefficient in the
discharge of his public duties in California, be-
cause he occupied himself more with putting
down flibusters than Indians. The whole cor.
respoDdence, however, amounts to very little.
The old woman's trade poured out on the
devoted head of General Wool by Davis aud
bis military colleagues of the administration,
will only tend to place the former in the position
of prominent candidate at the next Baltimore
convention. The friends of General Wool will
settle the present as well as other old scores at
that convention.

UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT TO ELECT U. 9. SENATOR.

bosIos, January 10, 1851
In the House to-day, on the question OF electing
United States Senator the minority proceeded carry
out the line of proceedings marked ont their caucus
yesterday II perceived that they we're strong
enough to prevent the taking OF vote.
General Devereux, Of Salem, moved q postponement
for one week stating that the nomnaon Of Mr. Wilson
had been unfairly made, that discussion had been
allowed in the caucus, and that within Eve minutes OF
Its meeting ballot taken by prearranged consent
Mr. Prince. OF Essex, Wilson man) believed the no.
mination to have been fairly made he ia favor of
suiting themselves in the election OF Senator; and
then, others willing to unite with them in ma
tionsl party, to change the naturalization and similar
laws, they would be ready.
Mr. swift OF Boston said it not their duty 70 in
qure what the South would say, il they sens Mr. VIII
son to the Senate Massachusetts, would declare she in
tended to stand BY her principles Several the mem
bers who voted for Mr. Wilson caucus were in favor
Of the postponemept.
Mr. Vose, Of Boston. objected 70 the candidate. He
had heard the members Of the House say that after they
had elected Mr.. Wilson they should not care 6g for
american principles.
The election was then postponed for week BY vote
of 1877 10 235.

REASON WHY Mr. CLIN0MAEs MEDIATION RFsOIU-
TON WAS DEFEATED BRITISH INTRIGUE.
WASHINGTON Jan. 16, 1865
The secret Of the defeat of Mr. Clngman's mediation
resolution constitutes instructive piece Of diplomatic
manouvring Thus IL fell OUT
really mediate adopting hostile measures against this
government so they get out Of the Russian em
barrassments. But should peace be restored through
the mediation Of the United States they could not with
good grace turn their against the peacernaker
Besides the interference Of the United States for such
purpose would commend the gratitude Of the Eng
lsh people and neutraize the insdous representations
Of the British Minister to our ro-Russan procyi-
ties
To prevent this, Mr.. Champion prevailed upon the
President to use his influence against Mr. Clngman,s
resolution.
Pierce could not through the artfce and was
victmized by superior cunning He begins now TO open
his eyes and wonder at his own stupidity.
