THE LIQUOR PLANK.

in our personal capacity, We believe in the
fullest right OF every body to eat and drink what
seems to them good. And though it may seem
paradoXical we believe in the right of the ma
JorIty to pass laws restricting or promoting the
sale of liquors, if they choose. But it is SUI
premely absurd to constitute the Democratic
Party the vlndicator and champion of the LIQUOR
interest. The Democratic Party-the creation
of a jefferson and a Jacksonville windward
anchor in all political storms-the hope of the
world and the Union descending to a pot-house
brawl about the right to sell whiskev Bah

THE PAPER PLANT

The notice gave Of the discovery Of the
plant to which this name Is applied, has been
extensively copied by the press, and number
of letters sent US, making inquiries respecting
the reliability of the account, and the chances
gulsv, We can say, that although we are unac-
quaintcd with Mrs BEAUMONT, the discovercr,
we have been told by reliable persons who know
her and have examined the plant while growing,
well since, that her statement Is strictly
correct; that the only particular, in their opin-
ion. in which she has probably erred. is her low
estimate Of The productiveness of the plant
when properly cultivated and its real value
when brought to perfection. 1t appears strange
to many, that cotton and flax should be obtained
from the same plant; vet the facts are fully
established by the enterprise of tbs lady, and
her discovery cannot be otherwise than beneficial
TO the community. The specimens sent Us have
been submitted to the examination Of gentlemen
of undoubted veraeity AID intelligence. and pro-
nounced (the flax in particularly superior to the
common flax or hemp for most purposes for
which those articles are used. The cotton when
manufactured, has the appearance of an article
between the cotton grown in the South and
lambs wool-while it has the fine qualities Of
the former, it retains the warmth of the latter.
Mrs BEAUMONT IS certainly entitled to more
substantial remuneration from the community
than gratitude, and We hope she may reap an
adequate reward
