Migration of Plants

Botanists have long been convinced
that the facts connected with the diffusion
of plants may often be explained by an
inquiry into the structure of their seeds,
the iightness of these, and their capabilliy
of transportation by winds; by their tex
,ure preserving them from destruction in
the waters of the ocean; by the preva-
lence of particular currents In the air or
sea or by the presence or absence of
mountainous barriers, or other obstacles
10 their dispersion. 1t has been observed
hat (the God of nature has provided
variety of methods for the diffusion OF
seeds. Many such have been noticed
by naturalists, and their operations have
been illustrated by facts we'll ascertalned.
The most important are doubtless winds,
or rivers, or marine currents. The for
mer convey the lighter kinds of seeds to
an incalculable distance, and the latter are
well known to transport others OCCASIONAL
ly from the most remote countries. BE-
sides these more general causes, 1t is well
known that seeds are often conveyed from
foreign countries, which were transported
in commerce. Various plants are well
known to have been introduced into Eu-
iOpt ny tilC dCNFstllttil iiilAlGlC vi liiCil
seeds with rice brought from the East or
West Indias, and those tropical countries
have interChanged some Of their produce
tons In a similar way Some seeds are
capable of preserving their vitality III the
stomach of birds, and are thus propagated.
Such are the mistletoe and juniper. A
number of facts are upon record, which
prove that the migration of plants by
means of currents IN the ocean TO distant
shores, where, if the climate is congenial
to them, they form new colonies, is not a
matter of conjecture, but thing which
actually takes place. Several remarka-
bic instances of this description are re-
corded In the Amanaitates Academicae
1t is stated that the seeds of several plants
of equinoctial countries are occasionally
collected in the Hebrides = Pritchard' S
Physical History of Mankind.

They know something down here; but
the extra touches are put on in the rural
districts. For instance, the Lockport
Courier has the following:
:" In not a single instance has a paper
dared to state that it has Col Fremont's
authority for denying that he is Roman
Catholic. When that is done, there will
be such an array of testimony as will
show this question in lis proper light"
Now, The Times has stated This very
thing, SO has Mr.. c. W. Elliott in our col
mns. If anybody wants anything more
WE state 1t, Now bring on your array
of testimony"
Understand. now, that we would SUP.
port Roman Catholic, otherwise we'll
qualified, just as soon as a Protestant or
anybody else. An American citizen has
a right TO be Catholic; and if Col. F.
were one, we should not support him one
whit less heartily than we now do. But
he IS not Catholic, but Protestant, as
he has perfect right to be; and we state
It, as he has done to every inquiry, be-
cause 1t is the fact.-N. Y. Tribune.

A COOP HIr.-The Washington cor
respondent of the New York Times fur
nlshes the following anecdote:
A good story is told at the expense of
those who protest that Frelnon'ts election
will lead to disunion. 4 few evenings
since, company of few gentlemen were
assembled In this city at quiet game of
whist. Among the party were a distin-
guished New York politician, and sever
al Southern members of Congress. The
conversation turned upon the Presidential
election, and all the horrid train of evils
10 follow upon Fremont's election were
set forth in glowing colors. 1t was assert
ed that 1t must necessarily be a sectional
administration, under which no southern
man could or would take office-,he con-
sequence of which calamity, it was voted,
must uproot the pillars of the Republic
One Of the Southern NJ. C.'s, after list
enlng for some time to those grave argu-
ments, instead of asserting to their force,
suggested that he desired no larger for
tune than he would undertake to collect in
the way of toll across the Long Bridge
over the Potomac, from the applicants for
office under Fremont's Administration
from the State of Virginia alone.

Hon. Josiah Quincy, Sr.

The Hon. Josiah Quincy, SEN. now So
years of age, and still a young man, has
published the address which he delivered
in Quincy last June. We copy from the
Boston Atlas the dedication-a word of
fire:
1.-The question to be decided at the en-
suing Presidential election, is, who shall
henceforth rule the nation-the Slave
States or the Free States? All the as
poets of our political atmosphere indicate
an approaching hurricane. Whether 1t
shall sweep this Union from It's founda-
lions, or whether it shall be prosperousIy
weathered, depends under Heaven, on
the man whom the people shall choose to
pilot them through the coming storm. In
my Judgment, that man is john CHARLES
Fremont. | have not, and never had,
any connection with the party that select
ed him. Pc. 5onally, know him not; but
have read the history OF his life, and |
believe him to be man as much marked
out by Providence for the present exigen-
cy of our nation as Washington was for
that of our American Revolution. He
comes from whence great men usually do
come, from the mass of the people
Nursed IN difficulties; practised in sur
mounting them; wise IN council; full of re-
sources; self-possessed in danger; fearless
and foremost IN every useful enterprise;
| unexceptionable in morals; with an intel
lect elevated by nature, and cultivated in
laborious fields of duty,-I trust he is des-
tined 10 save this Union from dissolution;
to restore the Constitution to It's original
purity; and to relieve that instrument,
which Washington designed for the pres
ervation and enlargement of Freelo Ion,
from being any longer perverted to the
multiplication of Slave States and the ex-
tension of Slavery"
