From the North West Appeal. The Contest

What will the know nothings in the south and all over the United States do in 1860? Will they sell themselves to the black republicans at as small price as they offer for them? or will they, like high minded treemen, vote with the democratic party, the only national party now extant. They are not able to rally the old whig party, for that is gone and merged into de-
 mocracy. And they can't do anything un- der the name of know nottingham. It be-
 hooves all true friends of the Union, with out regard to name, to vote with democrats, as 1t is the only available national party, in order to defeat the hell-deserving black republicans of the north. So now is the time to show that you are friends to our glorious America, as left US by Washing
 ton, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Jackson, Clay, Calhoun and Webster, in it's origi- nal purity. Come, you patriotic know nothings, you know nothings who love your country, and join the ranks of true democracy, true Americans, and true pa triots Enlist in the glorious cause of de- mocracy, and cast off that sncaking, hang dog look; once more unfurl the democratic banner to the breeze, and march forward under it's ample folds. Then you can again walk erect and with undaunted eye, face the ieers of a few who are still in cause that no patriot would deign to serve.
 Show us a man who steps high, holds his head high, and LOOKS high whose heart is moved only by generous impulses, whose soul loves his country above all things earthly, and you show us TRUE DEMOCRAT.

California Oats-Second Crop this Season.

MT. A. Barnard of this county, brought a specimen of the first growth of California oats this season to our sanctum few weeks ago, which we noticed, and on Thursday last, brought us another specimen of se- cond growth this season, which grew from the stubble, from which the first crop was cut. From what we can learn of Mr. Bar nard, these oats are perennial, and that when cut will produce from two to three crops of oats year, making excellent feed for horses and cattle, and will also furnish good pasturage in the fall and winter, as the roots, or stubble, sprout immediately after being cut.
 MT. B. brought, as he informed us, about one peck of the seed from California, and Sowed it, and the next year he saved what was produced from the first crop, and made the second season 1000 bundles of good oats From what we learn in regard to these oats, they are the very thing the far mers ill this state need, and as it requires but one sowing, to produce from two to three crops every year, without re-sowing, they are invaluable. As our prairie grass is giving out, we think the California oats should be sowed, as they will not only be a good substitute, but will supply the place by much more productive and more nu- tritious grass for hay, and perhaps supe- rior article of oats Mr. Barnard says, that they are superior to our common oats. We recommend to our farmers to procure seed and give them a trial.-Fon .Sm1h Times.

| The letter from Mr. Everett was address ed to our Minister at Berlin, under date of 14th January, 1853, in reference to several cases which had been presented by that minister. "The question raised," Mr. Everett writes, has received the particu- lar attention of the President" The fol- lowing extracts sufficiently state the doe Urine:
 If, then, Prussian subject, born and living under this state of law, chooses to emigrate to foreign country without ob talnlng the certificate which alone can dis charge him from the obligation of military services, he takes that step at his own risk. He elects to go abroad under the burden of d duty which he owes to his government His departure is of the nature of an escape from her laws; and if, at any subsequent period, he is indiscreet enough to return to his native country, he cannot complain if those laws are executed to his disadvantage His case resembles that of soldier or sai- | Tor enlisted by conscrlpt or other compul- sory process Tn the army or navy. If he should desert the service of his country, and thereby render himself ameanble to military law, no one would expect that he could re- | turn to his native land and bid defiance to
 it's laws because. in the mean time he might have become naturalized citizen of d for eign state.
 For these reasons, and without entering into the discussion of the question of per petual allegiance, the President is of opin- ion that, if subject of Prussia lying under 8 legal obligation in that country to per form a certain amount of military duty, leaves his native land, and, without per forming that duty or obtaining the pre- scribed " certificate of emigration" comes to the United States and is naturalized, and afterwards, for any purpose whatever, goes back to Prussia, 1t is not competent for the United States to protect him from the ope- ration of the Prussian law The case may be one of great hardship, especially if the omission to procure the certificate arose from inadvertence; but this fact, though just ground for sympathy, does not alter | the case as one of international law

DrsrRr1oN.-The record at the Police Court
shows a large number of seamen, deserters from
