TAKE NorIcE The subjoined timely
and pointed notice appears in the Wor>
cester Bay State
"Our political friends OF the West will
please take notice that N. p Banks, the
republican candidate for governor, is also
n candidate for the Know Nothings. that
the combined sufFragos Of these parties
have just succeeded in amending the
Constitution of this Commonwealth so as
to exclude from the polls all persons who
cannot read and write and that N. p.
Banks accepted the nomination OF the
know.Nothings. who advocated tho i'm
position Of term Of FOURTEEN YEARS as n
prerequisite to the enjoyment Of the cleo
tive franchise, as q naturali2ed citizen be-
fore he was adopted by the republicans.
In Massachusetts Acknowledgment and
republicanism are identical. The distinct,
radical know-nothings select Mr.. Banks,
place him upon the intolerant Springfield
platform, and then notify the republicans
that they must adopt the little iron man,
or be defeated. And the Worcester Spy,
which held out when there was no espe-
cial pressure and caved in as soon as the
first turn was given 10 the screw, gives
in its adhesion to know-nothingism.

the opposite party, if any such were there, to
take all votes offered, md after said meeting to
strike off the votes Of all who were not Demo-
Gratis: The meeting progressed 10 some extent,
when Mr.. Lewis asked if Know-N othing votes
were being taken. We informed him that we
were taking all the votes offered. Messrs. Low
is and Cooper objected to that course being ia
ken. We inferred them that the votes would
be overlooked hereafter, and if it was made evil

Sugar Made from the Chinese Suga
Cane.

The following interesting piece Of infor.
nation we take from the New Orleans
Delta, of the 2lst, II is the first record
ed evidence we have seen of the produc-
ton of sugar from the species OF Chinese
sugar>cane SO extensively planted in the
United States. It has been asserted that
the cane will produce molassee only, pro.
badly because those who attempted 70
make sugar were not skilled in the meth
cd Of producing it. BQt if the fact men
toned below is well authenticated, sugar
is as much o product Of the cane as mo.
lasses. and better knowledge Of the
treatment Of the plant, with improve
ments, which will grow out Of experience,
viii probably make it all that is desirable
in the production of that common neces.
sary of life (:
Mr.. J. D. Layton, connected with the
extensive sugar refinery of Belcher &
Bro, Of st. Louis, furnished us yesterday
with samples Of sugar and syrup, the pro-
duce Of the Chinese sugar>cane, from the
plantation of Col. Ives, of Terre Bmuf.
In May, last year, Col. Ives put one fourth
Of an acre under cultivation, which ripen-
ed by the frst Of August, producing two
barrels Of syrup and fifteen bushels, OF
seed. In December following The second
crop WAS .matured. This season Col.
Ives has, we learn, some two hundred
acres under cultivation. which he expect.
will be ready for cutting down in August,
and will yield al least $40. 900.
In addition TO this we have the follow
ing testimony from John L. Marsh, who
resides at Washington. Ill.
