has noticed in the Ithaca J.urnai of March last. q

the Boston Times as is therein quoted: the portion
which tefers to the abuneaEces of the plant in TIE
Highlands ofScotiand, is sn Interpolation, and
devoid OF truth. 1t has not yet ceen introduced
into Scotland and could cot have found its way
into Ithaca. except through himself, as he hoIds
possession Of the entire shipments of the article
into this country from California and in evidence
of the same, as no description of the plant has yet
appeared in any public work in this country. he
offers as an inducomsnt to the truth, ONE HUN
DRIED DOLLARS for a correct description of said
plant, or a siI gle ounce OF the genuine plant il FUR
Dished to the Editor, of this paper within two days

TIE cENs1rs OLE MISSOURI.

Six years ago the population Of Missouri
was 6Sl ,704 As now reported in the
returns. it is SoS. 033 but as four counties.
Barton. Clay, Clarke and DeKalb, are not in
cluded, the aggregate. it is estimated is about
$4,000. Should the increase, in the next six
years be in the same ratio, in 500 there will
be a total population of .2G0,270
The total number of slaves is SO, $50. and
the number of free negroes 2G52. The in
crease in the number Of slaves is 1928, or
about two per cont in six years.
Tho subjoined article, from the St. Louis
Democrat, shows the light in which the in
telligent press Of that city views the result of
the State census.
The census Of the State has been printed
and laid before the General Assembly 1t
shows an increase in the white population Of
the State Of SO per cent in the last six years,
and only two per cent. upon the slave popu-
lation.
One-third of one per cent. per annum in
crease upon the slave population of the State
for the six years past, is no increase of impor
lance, and shows that that institution has
reached its zenith in this State 1t will de-
crease at a moro rapid rate per annum in the
future, and by 1860 the institution Of slavery
will bo am interest of minor Importance. A
practical and gradual system of emancipation
of slavery is now in active operation in Mis-
souri, and the logic of circumstances will fin
ally cXtingush and eradicate it from our soil.
Why has Missouri not increased in its slave
population Because the permanency of the
institution depend upon circumstances, and
Shareholders were unwilling TO emigrate TO
our State until its character was determined
The slavery extcnsionists who have taken
