The Democracy elect Mons Of their candi-

The Republicans elect al their candidates

Gubernatorial elsetion, the Democrats and

Americas psrty il exploded, BY this canvass,
and viii not appear on the stage Of New York

OorroN GRowINa In SANoAnoS.--We can
beat Bloomington in tho cotton linel Mr.. Al
len, the jailor Of this county, received cot
ton seed from Washington last spring, which
be planted, and from the stock grown raised
four very large and fully developed bolls Of
cotton! The boil presented 10 us, has four
very long lobss, which, whsn blown ont,
form circumference Of about six inches.--
Indeed, We never saw finer boil grown on
Edisto or Sea leland.
!, This result justi6es our opinion ~ TO the
process OF acclimstion. The seed came from
as far North ~ Washington, wss planted
here 10 the middle Of May, and yet matured
before the average season Of frost. II any
person wishes TO prosecute this experiment
we will present him one Of tho seeds Of this
boil ms the nucleous Of bis ehort.--lSpring-
6eid Independent.
The experiment OF acclmation may per-
haps be worth the trial. Three or four years
might show that il could be raised in this las-
itude. Some seed from the South planted
in this city last spring, matured finely befor,
the appearance Of frosts, and bore abund
antly.

Some time since an agent Of this church
wAs sent 70 England to solicit funds, for it,
support. The circumstance il now subject
o. vitaperstive controversy In the New York
papers. The general opinion seems to be,
that the undertaking was A imprndent ana
dscreditable one. DR.. Chesyer himself wrote
TO Mr.. Spurgeon to promote the cause, and
said that the embarrassment Of bic church
arose from the decidedly anti-slaveTy char
actsr Of his preaching.

SENATOR BRowN OF MIssIssIPPI-We give a
portion of this gentleman's Cuban speech, re-
Gently delivered in New Yerk. The Washing
ton Union, supposed to be the Presidents organ,
dent like the Senator's speech. The Senator
wants Cuba in order " to extend slavery" For
this frank avowal he is censured. For ourself
we like his frankness, just as we did his frank
ness in the great debate of February, on the
question of protecting slavery in the Territories
by act of Congress. What we will object to.
however, is any attempt which any one may
make to cause California Democrats to take
sides, either fer or against these views of the
Senator from Mississippi. If he desires Cuba in
order to extend slavery who has a right to
blame him for his reason? We desire Cuba for
the reason that necessity demands THAT it shall
belong to the Union. Who shall find fault with
our reason? He will demand protection at the
hands of Congress for slavery in the Territories,
If the Territorial Legislature pass oppressive
laws. He has right to make the demand Let
him do it. We would refuse his demand, and
tell him to go into the Supreme Court for re-
dress For this, those thinking with him have
no right to find fault with those thinking as we
'do-at least not those who have heretofore ap-
proved the Democratic principle of Congression-
al non-interference with slavery in the Terrific
ries

TAKING FoRcIBLE Possession OF THE STATE
PRIsoN.-Gov. Weiler's breaking into the Pehi-
tentiary and taking possession Of that sweet
scented institution is likely to cost the State very
dear. Already a bin has passed the Assembly

judgment obtained against the State for this
violation of law by his Excellency But IT,. is

ture, perceiying that their predecessors and the
Governor had "put their foot in it, recently sig

Iislators didn't approve this plan of settlement.

,tration--they care not which These gentle
men appear to have the advantage of the Gov
'ernor and the Legisators-for whose unwise and
hasty action last year the State will be made to
bleed freely
