A Degenerate Son.

1t is very natural that the know nothing
journals should be jubilani over the conver
sion of Major ANDREW JACKSON DoNELsoX,
Of Tennessee, to their side. 1t was scarce
ly natural, however, for the adopted son of
Gen. JACKSON to do that which, were the
old hero living, would ensure the sons dis
inheritance. 1t is consoliug that the blood
of Old Hickory docs not course the veins
Of the degenerate youngster Did it, onr
faith in blood would be shaken.
DoSELsoN made speech, or, rather,
wrote one, which was published with the
proceedings Of the late know nothing rati-
iication meeting in New York. He did
not deliver it, on the plea Of illness, but we
suspect the real reason was that he did not
feel sufficiently hardened to stand mp before
some thousands Of people and openly pro-
claim his own shameful treason
DoNELsoN tells the old story of political
traitors-the democratic party has left
him. But instead Of his old friends he
finds around him tile bitter and relentless
revilcrs of the noble old father who adopt.
ed him and raised him far above the merits
Of his abilities or desers. His sto.y should
have been a plausible one Personal dis.
appointment and spite should not have
been so prominent in the prospective of1lis
laborious picture. The Washington Union
looks at this picture through double lens
Major Donelson considers the demo.
cratic party to be all changed and ruined
by the bad appointments made by Mr.
Pierce. He started out wrong in making
up his cabinet, and then he went on wrong
in selecting foreign ministers and Other
appointees. lie chose fire-eaiers in tic
South and free-soilers in the North, when
he ought to have chosen none but Union.
loving men like Major Donelson. Because
Mr. Pierce has broken up the party by his
bad appointments, and has brought the
Union into peril, Major Donelson consider,
it bis duty to go over to the know-nothings
and help them to save the Union H.
cannot consent to act with the democrats
because they have men in their ranks who
were formerly regarded as free-soiers, but
who now agree with him in standing by
the Compromise of 1850, but he goes into
an organization in which the prepondera
ting IOwer is controlled by notorious abo
litiemsts. He sits in council with Wilson
Gardner, Johnston, and all the othel
northern abolitionists, and relies upon hi'
new associates to save the Union Sucl
is the drift of the speech it is too trans
parent tissue of apologies for his treach
cry to require further notice. 1t is cnougl
to say that if Mr. Pierce had been NOR,
lucky in one or two appointments, tn,
speech would never have been made.n
The day will come when Major DonelsoI
would give his right hand 10 recall hi
speech at New York.

The Voice OF the Press.


We said yesterday that the leadn.
democratic press of the country is hostil,
to coercive temperance laws. A CORES
pondent of the Bostoa Past makes the cir
Gle of the opposition much larger:
" 1t is a significant fact that the Amcri
can press, with few exceptions, of whatever
caste Of politics, stands unrquivocally ar
rayed against 0lis prohibitiye system. In
deed, we know of no public Journal whcl
distinctly approves its features, except sue!
as are notOriously subsidized and l.Jcrali!
paid for supporting it. None which hay,
any claim to independence and integrity
are so poor as to do it reverence; and none
which depend upon the patronage Of an
enlightened community for support are vii.
ling to heard their interest and their rep
utation as liberal interpreters Of the public
sentiment by entering the lists us the Cham.
pons Of snch an iIibcrdl and incorporate
policy"
The same correspondent argues from
these facts as follows
" No one will pretend to argue, from
these premises, that the press in general !,
inimical to the objects Of the temperance
rcformy on the contrary, it is as accorllnt
in its approval of the end, as il i, in con
demnatiun Of the iniudiciouS means employ
ed by fanatics profcssedly for its attainmen'
A free press is the real cOnScrvator OF pub
lie virtue and morality in this country, in
asmuch us it is less the dread Of legal pen
altics, than Of that omnipo:cnt public SEN
timent to which it gives force and express.
ion, which restraints the evi.mindcd from
transgression. Hence it is an auxiliary
without which the law is impotent, and it
is folly to suppose that any new and eXtrav
agant social or political theory can be
maintained, without the co operation of the
press, 10y mere force Of legal enactmcutS.
Though the press is an honest advocate of
Christianity it would frown upon any at
tempts to propagate its doctrines with The
instruments Of the inquisilon and ,>GS II
truSty guardian Of the rights, AMI faith
ful eXpositor Of the sentiments of free
people, is influence never can be us-l 10
give efficiency to legal despolism, however
commendablc the objects to be promo ed
by such means.
Any other course would be suicidal TO
the liberty Of the press, which is held by
the same tenure as the rights of property
and conscience, which are invaded by this
statute. The blow which destroys the one
undermnes the foundation of the other
and revival of the infamous sedition laws
may be the next measure resorted to by the
friends of prohibition, on the usual plea
that such rigorous means alone are effect
uA to extcrminate widespread and deep
rooted evil"

ORIcrS OF VARIOUS PLANTs.-Every gen
tleman farmer ought to be somewhat ac-
quainted with the origin and history of all
ordinary plants and trees, so as to know
their nature, country and condition. Such
knowledge, besides being great source OF
pleasure, and very desirable, will often Ell
able him to explain phenomena in the hab-
its Of many plants that otherwise would ap-
pear inexilicable.
Wheat, although considered by some as
native Of Sicily, originally came from the
central tableland of Thibet, where it yet
exists as Grass, with small, mealy seeds.
Rye exists wild in Siberia.
Barley exists wild in the mountains Of
Himalaya.
oiOats were brought from North Africa.
Millet, one species is native Of India,
another Egypt and Abyssinia.
Maize, Indian corn, is Of native growth
in America.
Rice was brought from South Africa,
whence it was taken to India, and thence
to Europe aud America.
Peas are Of unknown origin.

themselves, need no further recommendations.
Its simplicity and perfect adaptation to the purpose
designed, are readily seen.
THIS WINDOW LOCK
is intended for Upper Sash as well as Lower thus
affording an opportunity to Ventilate your rooms
with perfect safety in all weather. 1t operates
also as a Lock to fastcn down the window when
down, and fasten it mp when raised, operating
with nncrrng certainty.
The window is easily adjusted by means of this
Lock, and it need only be seen to be approved by
all.
