A SUGAR PlANr.-A paper called the
.StateSman, published at Calhoun, Georgia,
says that II Mr. J. Peters Of that place, has
made this season about three hundred and
twenty gallons Of good syrup from the juice Of
the Chinese sugar miilct, and asserts that, with
proper cultivation, four hundred gallons of
ayrnp may be ATTAINED from an acre Of mlct.
A person at Newton Centre, Mass, as we
learn from the BOsioR TrareLer, has cultivated
some Of this millct this season. and made
quantity Of excellent moas>es from it, and it
is stated that it can be- cultivated in New Eng

they have been large Is a fixed and cheering fact.

THE NATURALIIED VOTE.

The elections in Indiana and PcnnsyIvania
demonstrate that our naturalzed citizens are
still true to the constitution of their adopted
country 1t has been left to the K. n party
IN the south to bring in question their loyalty;
but the result proves the aspersion to be foul
calnmny. Abolition gold and the syren song
OF addition freedom" have alike failed to carry
them over to the sectionalism of native dcma-
gogues.
The following from the Indiana State Sen.
tnel does the Irish and German voters no
more than justice:
The result of the election in this state shows
that our adopted citizens have been as true as
steel With few exceptions they have stood
by their true friends and old associates, the
Democrats They have proved themselves firm
and stcadfast in the maintenance of their cher
ished principles, against every attempt of the
Black Republicans to mislead and deceive
them. They have been piled with 0attery and
talsehood by turns, but to no purpose. They
knew that those who are thus attempting to
deceive and cajolc them, were enemies in dis
guise. They could not see how men who but
one short year ago could scarcely find language
sufficiently coarse and vulgar in which to give
vent TO their concentrated feelings of hatred
and malignity, should so far change their ma
lures as to cordially welcome them to all the
rights and privileges of common political
brotherhood, They looked through the trans
parent covering which had been assembled for
the occasion, and saw the damnable hypocrisy
that luked beneath. The ogling advances of
the tawning Abolition sycophants were spurn-
ed as being at once loathsome and dishonora-

The n. o. True Delta gives Us the following inpor-

aud reliable accounts.
THE PENNSYLVANIA Fusox.--We learn from the
Philadelphia North American, that the Union Con-
venton of the friends of Fremont and Fillmore met
at Harrisburg the 2lst.. and ratified the Union
electoral ticket made at Philadelphia at the meeting
of the State Committees. The Convention was very
large. double delegations being present from most
of the counties Mr.. Lemuel TODD a Fillmore man,
presided.
There is not the particle of doubt but that Fro
raont's and Fillmorcs friends. the Bach Republicans
and the Northern Know Nothinys. are acting cordially
togetern this election. Harmonious in principle and
feeling Mey are harmonious and united in acon to defeat
the national democratic candidate. the only cand-
date who icarlcssly proclaims and noby battles for
the constitutional rights of the South.
II now remains for southern men to vote for their
own rights and in behalf of the south, or to betray
the south into the hands Of our northern sundurcrs
and oppressors. If they will suffer their Know No
thingsm to so mislead and blind them against their
own best interests and self respect If they will suffer
their unsroundcd hatred Of demo racy to drive them
to their own self injury and distraction, then the
consequences of such a needless course must abide
with themselves.
The question is clear one before the southern
people. Vote with the national Democrat. and

RATHER PoRTgNTous.-Th Nashville Union
of the 10Th contains the following extract of
a letter from a correspondent in East Tcnncs-
see, which shows that the old line Wings in
that section have not been ut all fooled by the
Baltimore farce:
A friend writing us from jefferson county,
East Tennessee, incoSing call for u mass
meeting of the friends of Buchanan and Brock
cnridge, to be held near i,ussclvillc, near the
line Of Jefferson, Hawkins and Granger, says:
There was another little matter connected
with that meeting which cannot refrain from
telling you, and ! sincerely hope Know No
things will pardon me for it, Whilst the meet
ing was making arrangements to pay the cX-
pcnscs which must necessarily attend the mass
meetings. Col. j. g. BraSclton presented list
of seray old line Wings, who authorized him
to pledge them to any reasonable amount to
help to delray expenses, and thus further the
cause Of Bnck and Breck. Some of your
readers may be little surprised ut this, since
the recent old lire Wing Convention at Balti-
more with its cight hupirrd members, has so
unanimously ami 80 enthusiastically nominated
Fillmore and Donclson for the Presidency;
but you can tell them the old liners in this end
Of the State don't suck that Convention Mt

or two as well rs the Know Notlings."
All is right in our end Of the State.
