THOSE TERRIBLE THues.-Ever since the
defeat OF the Democratic Independent sl'del'
ticket by the. American party in New Or
leans at the late city elections, have the De-
mocratic press Of the State whined and
howled over the soutrages committed by tue
rascally, brutal myrmidons ofAthe American
party to secure its success. Tears lave been
shed by the bucket mll-horrfed eyes have
been turned supplicatins'y heavenwards-
prayers by the ream have been uttered, de-
nunciations in every conceivable form have
been used by the pure Democratic papers OF
this State to prove to their brethren who
don't read the papers, that the defeat Of De-
mocracy in New Orleans is only to be attri-
buted to the slung shot and bowie knife. In
vain do they Shrek and howl over the fact
$50 they: say) that they have thousands of
voters there--enough to carry the City by g
handsome majority, only they won't come
come out AMI vote. Why? Those terrible
Thugs keep them from the polls. What a
pity the timid Democrats can't be persuaded
to come up and face the music, and drive
away the three or four thugs who hold them
in awe. The four men arrested on last cleo
ton day in New Orleans for maltseating Mr..
DECAolsEuL, Gen. LEWIS, and one or two
others, have had their trial and it was proven
that Gen. LEWIS commenced the disturbance
by attempting to arrest quiet and peaceable
citizens who had a right to be at the polls
and for so doing, a melee arose in which he
was hurt. The following extract from the
decision Of the Recorder shows the true
state Of affairs in regard to the mai-treatmen
of the General Superintendent of Elections.
Gen. LEWIS:
The evidence in this case, as given by the
Commissioners .ot the Election and Others
shows that everything was peaceable and
quiet at the polls: that no one was interfering
with or molesting voters; that while all was
thus quiet and peaceabie, the complaint came
on the ground, and in a rude and excited man.

The condition in which the ground ought
10 bo TO receive garden seeds, is ono Of those
subjects on which so much difference Of
opinion exists; for we ohen see q successful
result from two causes, widely differing
from each other in their origin; and the
sowing Of seeds, by hand, is often done in
manner dramatically opposite to that in
which Nature performs the same operation.
The latter mode is simple enough. Seeds
rpening in the summer, or autumn, OF each
year SOW themselves, and either fall on, or
are scattered over the ground at the time
when its extreme dryness plecludes the
chance Of its vegetation then. Even if il
did, tho hardness at the top would prevent
its obtaining uourishment there. But many
seeds that ripen in summer do not grow
until the following spring, even when they
fall on ground apparently favorable to
their growth. This wise provision Of Ma
turs prevents tho plant vegetating at a
time when it is snre to perish, by the cold
weather likely to follow; and though the
seed may fall on hard stony ground; a win
ter's rain and frost so modifes it rs to suit
il to the wants of the young Seeding. This
Is one Of Natures modes of sowing seeds
let us see how far we initiate it.
In the first place it is proper to observe,
that many Of the most useful Of garden
plants are from climates much warmer than
our own; some 10 fact will not ripen their
seeds well in this country, though they attain
a useful growth. Even hardy trees, bearing
large seed, reproduce themselves sparingly
A sweet chestnut, for Instance produces, in
favorable seasons, abundance of well-formed
nuts, but young selEsown Seeding tree j;
rarely met With am not certain Of evel
having seen one-while the oak, ash, anC
sycamore, and other trees (alI, doubtless
indigenous trees) reproduce themselves t.
an extent only lessened by the rayage
Of birds, insects, and other natural enc
mics, and the places in which many Q
these seeds fall are anything but favorable
in appearance to their growth. Noverthe
less, chestnuts will also succeed, but the
are generally carefully kept through tn
winter on somo dry loft, and sown in spring
when the genial warmth of the seaso
starts them into growth, which they contiu
ue in until they have attained such size o
to withstand the rigor of the next winter.

SEEDS THAT WILL GRow.-We have in
quiries relative to the termination Of differ
ent kinds of seed. Here is q sample: "Will
those white kernels, which are very numer-
Gus in some samples of wheat, grow" &C.,
&c, ad iafaitapm. To such inquiries we an
swer, test the matter yourselves. If you
have seed of any sort, about which there is
any question as to its terminating powers,
it is an easy matter, and an important one,
you should settle the question by trying to
sprout it. One thing you may be sure of,
no editor Of common sense in his noddle will
aver that questionable seed will grow unless
he can see it and test it first. "a word to
the wise is sufficient"

Scene In Norwich, Connecticut, Church.
A private letter from a friend in Norwich
contains the following amusing anecdOte:-
NJ Y Post.
81 must tell you a good joke with which
all Norwich is ringing. Sunday before
last the Baptists we're to have a grand cele-
bration; quite number were to be baptized,
not in the river, but in large pool sunk
in the floor of the church under the pulpit,
which is on wheels and capable of being
rolled away. 1t was an extraordinary occa-
sion, and the house was crowded with Epis-
copalans, Congrogationalists and Metho-
dists, as well as with the Baptists them
selves. The opening services were gone
through with, the pulpit was rolled away,
and the minister with one of the candidates,
approached the pool and commenced de-
scending the steps. Suddenly they paused,
then held hurried consultation, made a
ret, cat, and it was announced that the cere-
mony would be postponed until evening"
The rest of the services were gone through
with by an audience more diverted than
edited, for before the service was ended,
the whole congregation had learned that
the pool was half full of dirty soap suds,
AMI various were the surmises AS to how
they got there. In the course of the day
It leaked out that the Sexton had taken a
bath there Saturday night, and forgotten to
let oFtAe mater! Imagine the jokes at the
expense Of the Baptists."

just previous to the appearance Of the

Mr. Cass introduced bis letter to Col. Mich
ilson, and read il TO his colleagues. Then
turning to Gov. Bingham, said "Mr. Biug
