varieties of plants, whicl, was distributed
from the Ledger office around about the
country, to various individuals, for the pur-
pose OF testing their production, rs we'll as

climates OF the country. Many Of these
were seeds which had been gathered in Eu-
rope and Asia, under the directions of
the intelligent head Of the agricultural de-.
partmcnt Of the patent office. The Ledger
says:
" Among the rest was new species of
p'a' called the "Japan Pea" which has
created considerable interest among cultiva-

il single years growth, is something worthy
OF notice. 1t each pea possessed the quail
'irs of reproduction in the same decree.
we shall have in the second years growth
nearly half II million of pods and a million
"t peas. Our farmers, who are better skill

number of bushels this would make. and
Whit "um"r of pounds it produces, at six
ty pounds to a bushcl, the weight of peas
and wheat to the Lushcl icing nearly dcn-

"Ihis new and rare plant is found we'll

feet high from single stalk, putting fortl.
branches stiff and woody, like shrub. Il

The branches at the end of the season bo-
come covered with downy pods, about two
inches long, each containing from two to
three peas of cream color, and very hard.
When hoile'l, the pea becomes exactly like
u buff lean. 1t is very nutritious in its
qualities, and makes an excellent winter
food for man. 1t is planted about the usual
time of planting corn, in rows, three feet
apart. The blossoms are said to be beauti-

some Japanese saiIors, who were wrecked
on coral island in the Pacific, and saved
hy some American seamen. The crew Of
the wrecked vessel had supported them
selves for number Of days solely on these
peas. One of the american sailors cot
some of them, took them to Orepon.
whence they were carried to Ohio, from

renee, X. L. Aug. 6.-Iast Saturday pro-
slavery messenger rode into the fort ut Lea
yenworth. and reported that assistance was
needed at once in the border districts next
to Nebraska; and In a few hours, according
TO Gen. Smiths orders, two full companies
of dragons were on the way, directed by
the guide. Their purpose Is not known,
but It is conjectured from the promptncss
with which Gen. Smith acted, that they are
instructed to intercept Gen. Lanes party.
A messenger arrived in town tonight,
direct FROM lanes camp, who passed through
Iowa with them. He says he left them on
the 18th ult., l6 miles southwest OF Nebras-
ka city, where they had been encamped
nearly week waiting for other parties.
These parties came up on the day he left,
and he expected they would commence their
march south on the morning Of the Cd, and
they are probably now in the territory. The
whole number is about Eve hundred. They
have wagons, farming tools, women and
children along with them, and will look
about Immediately for claims. They are
fully armed.

" Speaking of the Document, headed
&" the new Democratic Doctrine" giving ex-
tracts from Democratic writesand speakers,
showing that +" Slavery is not to be confined
to the negro race, but to be made the uni-
ycrs.l csndirion of the laboring classes Of
society,"" the Democrat, to break its force,
says:
The pretended extract from Mr.. stephens
speech, has been pronounced a forgery by
Mr.. S. himself. and those who circulate it
know this. Whether the rest are any bet
ter, We don't know nor is it Of much con-
sequence.
Now there is no extract, real or pretended,
in the Document from any speech of Mr..
Stephens, and this must have been known by
the Editor Of the Democrat when no penned
the article, or IL he did not know this, there
is such carclcssness Of statement about the
matter to make ii tantamount to deliberate
falsehood.
So far as tho extracts in the Document
are concerned, they are published to show
that the spirit that enslavcs the black race
does not conino itself TO color, but looks up
on all classes Of men who labor, white rs
well us black. as ct only for slaves. They
derive their importance from thc fact that
they are the sentiments cxprsscd by the
most influential Buchanan papers and Blu
chanan men In the Southern States. Ruling
the party as the Southern men do and dc
.a,ing its policy, II is of the highest impor-
tance that the industrial classes in the Free
Sa,cs should understand tho views which
tie Buchanan mon Of the South have.in re-
la.ioa TO the abstract question Of slavsry.

PRODUCTION into the common tertiary rs
alike opposed TO the Constitution Of the
United States and to the best interests Of
humanity.
Resoired, That the claim Of the slayehold-
crs TO carry slavery into the common terri
tory Is an attempt to subyert the Constitu
tuition, and destroy the union OF these
States; which must be met and resisted,
not by acts of violence or threats OF disunion,
but by n firm, consistent, undertaking de-
votion of tho free voters OF the country to
the letter and the spirit Of the Constitution.
Rssoired, That the threats OF disuni0n
made by the leading Shareholders and their
Representatives in Congress, IL they canno,
be allowed to carry slavery into the CON-
mon territories, should arouse all the free
voters Of the country To such n union Of eff
fort rs will silence and oyerawc them in
their reasonable designs.
Resoired, That all free men should flock
of once to the standard Of John L. Fremont
Of California, whose youthful yigOr, intrepid
courage and far seeing statermanship, have
pointed him out as the leader in the van OF
the great popular movement inauSurated at
Philadelphia on the 18th OF June last, to
restore the government TO its original pur-
pose. Under his banner, let all men rally
in the coming contest, and never cease their
efforts till the fag Of freedom floats from the
dome of the National Capitol, and the free
territory Of this Union is forever rescued
from the blighting and debasing curse Of
human slavery.
