THE PAPER PLANT IN WIsCONsI

THE PAPER PLANT IN WISCONSIN,
Under this head we have before US de-
scription of plant recently discovered
in this country by Mrs. A. l.. Beaumont
of Arena. She has furnished US with a
fine sample of cotton, and also of flax,
from the same plant, which she describes
as follows:
discovered, two years ago, plant,
that yields both cotton and fax, from the
same root, and believe am the first per-
son that ever cultivated, spun and knit
from it. | am persuaded that any arti-
Gle that will make as good cloth as can
be made from this plaut will make good
paper, hence call it the Paper Plant.
1t can be planted in the spring and cut
in the fall or winter. 1t bleaches itself
white as it stands, and will yield at least
three or four tuns to the acre. From
single root that | transplanted last spring
there grew twenty large stalks, with
three hundred and Ave pods Containing
the cotton) with at least sixty seeds in
each. From this / obtained seven onuces
of pure cotton, and over half a pound
OF flax. 1t is very heavy plant, and
grows from six to seven feet high"
From the sample before US of cotton
and flax, as an article for the manufac-
ture of paper, it must be far better and
cheaper than any other known. Mrs. B.
IN the discovery and cultivation of this
plant, is entitled to the gratitude of all,
and we trust she may yet be literally re-
warded for so doing. Mineral PIT. Tri5.

No. 45.-Resolution relating to the extension of
slavery, and the right of the slave to his free
dom when brought into a free State.
l. ResOlred, That on the extension Of slavery
by the authority or counivance .of the national
government into any territory, by nature or by
law free from that great curse of humanity, VER-
MONT has no new doctrine TO profess,-no new
sentiments Of adherence to make known. She
has always protested against it. She protests
against it now and she intends TO resist il by
all the lawful and constitutional means in her
power.
2. Roselred, That the people of Kansas, invited
to settle there by the acts of the national govern
ment, yet, left wholly unprotected from lawless
invaders, who by force and arms usurped the pow
ers which had been given only to its proper inhab
itants, did right to dIsayow all allegiance to the
body which their invaders had placed over them
that. in considering themselves as without law,
and therefore proceeding to organize themselves
as political community, they exercised the rights
which God has given 10 all human beings 50
placed.
3. Rssoirsd, That the people of Kansas, acting
CONSTITUTION w tiaeh4s0tFS9 AZ al
orderly manner, and sanctioned by d majority Of
its adult male population, may nghtfuly request
Congress 10 admit Kansas into the Union as free
and sovereign State; and If i, shall appear that
their constitution Is Of republican form and in
hbits slavery in that State for time 10 come, then
such admission ought TO take place, and the Sen
ators and Representatives OF Vermont are in
structed and urged TO vote for ii accordingly.
4. Rssolosd, That the fugitive slave law Of 1850
is violation Of the Constitution an insult % The
