C0ngress.

There is nothing of particular iuteres
vet done in Congress.
Mr. Grow, Of Pennsylvania, Chairman
Of the House Committee on Territories
has been instructed 10 report a Home.
stead bill. We hope it will be more Iib-
eral bar the one he introduced last SEES
sion,
Mr.. Craig, Of Mo. among a number
Of bills pertaining to Western interests
has, we see, introduced a bill 10 aid il
the construction of a Rail Road from Ihe
Missouri River to San Francisco, Cali
fornia.
Mr.. E~stabrook, on the 10th, introduced
a bill to enable Nebraska to hold a Con.
vention preliminary TO admission into the
Union. We do not believe in "enabling
acts" but will not object seriously.
On the same day, Mr.. Campbell, Of
Penn, presented the memorial Of S. G.
Daily contesting the sea of Mr.. Esta-
brook,
Bingham, a Republican member from
Ohio, has introduced a bill declaring null
and void the acts Of the New Mexico Le-
g%islature establishing slavery. Now we
will see Congressional interyentionisls
show their hands. Can Keitt, Of South
Carolina. and Bingham, Of Ohio, fuse as
to the principle involved, and divide out
per agreement as TO its application? An
opportunity will be presented to carry out
the whole programme, should the bill be-
fore the Kansas Legislature to prohibit
slavery become a law we understand,
however, it will be vetoed. There is
strength, we think, to pass it Over the
veto.

having long recognized Mr.. Douglas as
the author, ~expounder and champion OF
that doctrine, they will not be disposed 10
SCrutinize very nicely the Platform if he
is placed conspicuously thereon.A With
Mr.. Douglas as their candidate, the De-
mocracy VIII contest every Northwestern
State with energy, and most Of them with
confidence. They will BOT consider one
one of hem absolutely lost un6l its popu-
Jar votes for President Shall have been
cas-. and counted.
Through all It's mutations, Mr.. Doug
las has hitherto stood by the principle of
Free omesteads. or the grants of quar-
t~er-sections Of the public lands TO actual
settlers without charge. That principle
always stronger in the Free West than
any party-has gained immensely in
power to controlvotes from the peeuniary
disasters of the last three years. Thous-
ands who were grabbing all the land
within sight of their log cabins a few
years since. and fondly expecting to be-
come speedily rich BY land speculation,
have suddenly awaked to a realization Of
the fact hat their land-grabbing has
ruined them, and that they have a hard
chance before them of obtaining even a
livelihood. To those, and to tens of thou
sands beside, the homestead bill seems of
more consequence than all other topics of
political controversy. No other Democ-
ratio statesman than Douglas, unless il be
Andrew Johnson of Tennessee, could
hope for their support. Mr., Joe. Lanes
ugly record last winter renders him con-
~spicuously unavailable. Mr.. Douglas, on
this question, could probably hold his own
against a Republican no n else but
johnson could begin to do it.
THAT the events and Developments
of the next ten weeks may change all this
l fully understand all this; but, if mat
tiers move along as they are now going,
Mr.. Douglas nomination seems hardly
a~voidable. And, as an evidence that a
Democrat may, for once, disobey the man
dates of the Slave Power without thereby
running himself, | am prepared TO regard
it with complacency."

DOuglas' Prospect.

We are greatly r%ejoieed to know thai
Mr. Douglas prospect for nomination
was never brighter than at present. Il
appears to be generally conceded now by
all parties that he will be "the man." If
be be nominated upon the platform on
which he now stands; has always stood,
and says he will stand upon no other,-
4" Congress, a Legislature. nor no human
Pogsr," can prevent him being elected
the next President of the United States.
Greeley, of the N. Y. Tribune, has
been on a lecturing tour through the
West, and writes from Davenport, under
date January %, 1860, from which we
extract the following. Greeley no doubt
dislikes very much to make such acknow-
ledgments. We give him credit, howey-
err, for his candor.
Il have been looking through and TAX
ing notes in each of the States Northwest
Of the Ohio, Minnesota excepted, during
the past fortnight; and, though l seldom
place predictions on record, / now make
one which / would not have credited wher
l left New York. | predict that S. A
Douglas will be nominated for Presidenr
at Charleston next April, and that most
of the Slave States will give him theil
Electoral Votes. Let these foreshadow
ings be noted and compared with the
events.
Il predict Mr.. Douglas nomination, il
full view of the fact that a grea, majority
of the Southern Democratic politician
intensely hate him-that Mayor Woo
will have TO promise 10 oppose him in or
der to gethis Hard Shell delegation ad
mired at Charleston-ihat there will b
an anti Douglas delegation claiming seat
from Illinois-ihat many of the delegate
elect even from The Northwestern States
including a majority of lhlse from Mir
nesota, do not want to nominate him
and that Bright, Rice, Joe. Lane, SC.
who have for some years labored unde
the hallucination that they are the lead
ers of the Northwestern Democracy
would prefer defeat with a Lecomplonit,
to. success with Douglas. I see also tha
the anti Douglas side will have the ad
vantage in the Convention, first in settl
ing the contested seats; then in frsmin,
the Platform. But. after making allow
ance for these make weights, / still hol,
the Little Giants nomination to be al
but inevitable,
Mr.. Douglas is still in the eyes Of III,
Democratic masses in the Free States
the champion and embodiment of th,
principle of Popular Sovereignty hv whicI
they were ~reconciled 10 the ~repudiatioI
of the Missouri Compact. That repudi
alton was never relished by them perse
nor did its manifest object commend il 4
their appreciation. But the suggestion
that each separate community. whethe
termed State or Territory. should be 4
liberty to manage and dispose of its ow,
negroes-to have slavery or not have Il
as it should see ft-was- and is popula
with the Western Democracy. And

Distribution OF seeds.

The following extract from the Agri-
cultural Report of the Commissioner Of
Patents will explain the reason why the
distribution of various kinds Of domestic
seeds, which have heretofore been sent out
from the Patent Office, is dispensed with
during the present fiscal year:
Owing to the reluced appropriation
made by Congress for agricultural pur-
poses for tie fiscal year ending June so.
1860, the officers have been compelled 10
reduce its expenses and confne its action
to a more, limited sphere Ihan heretofore.
In doing this, it was found necessary.
either TO decline purchasing for distribu-
ton the usual varieties of garden and
field seeds, or to abandon the expert
ment of propagating the tea, and various
other kinds of foreign plants and grape
cuttings for which orders had been Civ
en-. The expenses which had already
been incurred in their procurement would
hardly justify the office in throwing them
aside. 1t was accordingly deemed advi-
sable to apply the remainder of the funds
solely TO the procuring Information, and
preparing the material for the A~gricultu-
raj Report, and to the propagation and
distribution of such varieties of foreign
seeds and cuttings as had already been
engaged. These were Of such a nature.
that if they had been distributed through
out the country immediately upon their
reseipt, the probability is that very few
of them would have reached their desti-
nation in a fit state for propagation
The Tea seeds, more particularly, arriv-
ed in such a condition that it was of the
utmost importance toFtant them at once.
For this purpose large ~propagating houses
we're erected on the Government ground,
north of the canal. These structures now
answer well the purpose for which they
were intended. as is exhibited by the fact
that we have ready for distribution over
10000 well rooted tea plants; 1900
foreign and domestic grape-yines 900
rooted seedless pomegranate cuttings, and
various foreign, medicinal. and ornamen-
tai plants. These will be ready for dis
:ribution during the present winter and
the ensuing spring"
