SEEDS AND CUTTINGS FROM THE PATENT OFFICE.
A circular has been issued from the Patent Of
flee, containing the following extract from the
forthcoming Agricultural Report Of the Com
missioner of Patents, which will explain the
reason why The distribution of the various kinds
of domestic seeds, that have heretofore been sent
out from this Office, is dispensed with during
the present fcal year
lowing to the reduced appropriations made
by Congress for agricultural purposes for the
fiscal year ending June 30th, 1860, the office
has been compelled to reduce its expenses and
con6ne its action to more limited sphere than
heretofore In doing this, it was found neces-
sary, either 10 decline purchasing for distribu.
ton the usual varieties of garden and field seeds,
or TO abandon the experiment of propagating
the tea and various other foreign plants and
grape cuttings, for which orders had been Civ
en-. The expenses which had already been IN.
Cured in their procurement would hardly justi-
fy the Office in throwing them aside 1t was
accordingly deemed advisable 10 apply the re-
maindcr of the funds solely to the procuring of
information and preparing the material for the
Agricultural Report, and to the propagation
and distribution of such varieties of foreign
seeds and cuttings as had been already engaged.
AieSo WeFe vi sucn u nature, Chat II they hau
been distributed throughout the country imme-
diateIy upon their receipt the probability is that
very few of them would have reached their
destination in fit state for propagation. The
tea seeds, more particularly, arrived in such a
condition, that il was of the utmest importance
to plant them at once. For this purpose, large
propagating houses were erected upon the Gov
eminent grounds, north of the canal, between
and 9th streets. These structures now an
swer well the purpose for which they were in
tended, as is exhibited by the fact that we have
ready for distribution over 10000 wellrooted
tea plants; 10000 foreign and domestic grape
vines; 900 rooted, seedless pomeRranate cut
tings, and various foreign, medicinal, and orna-
mental plants These will be ready for distri-
button during the present winter and the ensn
ing spring

LIQUOR AcENTs-The Repository enlightens
us as to the intentions of Judge Newcomb,
should he be elected, us follows;
If Judge Newcomb is elected, he will APP
point agents in every town where the good Of
the Temperance Cause seems to require such an
appointment. If the seectmen of the Town
viii not do their duty, and prescribe the agents
salary land receive his bond, he will prescribe the
salary himself as one of his rules, and the bond
will DO rendered to the Seleetmen. At least,
we so understand the platform of the ConVen-
tion, OF this year.
At present, we think, there are but five Town
Agents in the County but we have offered the
Selectmen of Mortified an Agent, and also, to
the Selectmen Of Montpelier, but they have not
accepted in either case

Make up the Clubs =!

Our campaign paper commences with the hrSt
of March. and at the low club rates at which
we offer it, there should be ten thousand copies
in circulation in the Green Mountain State
Let every active politician and friend of Free
dom. order fifty copies sent to his address, and
stir about, and get fifty cents of each of his
neighbors for it.. We are to have glorious
fight, and the enemy is already in the field
Let us not be behind. Send in your orders
early, and if your wavering neighbor won't
take the paper without, make him present Of
a copy. Organize Freedom and Unity club

COUNTY CoMMIssIoNER.-It is allowed that the
selection of Mr. Newcomb for County Com
missioner, for this County, was eminently
wise, and his election, which will be over
whelming, on the first Of March, will open a
new era in the observance of Temperance and
Morality in the County. We have heard that
few radicals on the one side were slightly dis
pleased because some fre-eater was not put in
nomination, while on the other extreme, a few
in favor of free rum have secretly put another
candidate in nomination. Look out for this
" still hunt" and be sure that you vote for the
honest, fearless candidate nominated at this
place on the 9Th,

The SLAVE TRADE.-The Seacoast Mississippi
Democrat contains the following choice bit Of
news which may do DR.. Lord and the rest of
the slave Democracy some good to read
MORE AFRICANS CoMING-We learn from
good authority that cargo OF African slaves
is expected in Ship Island Harbor, the latter
part of the present month. They will, if they
arrive safe, be landed without any attempt at
secrecy; the coasignees trusting to the senti-
ment predominant in Mississippi as the necessi
ty of increasing the number of laborcrs, for a
triumphant acquital in the event of a Govern
ment prosecution. We wish the gentlemen
much success in their patriotic and humane I'M
dertaking. No doubt the Africans themselves
will prove grateful and diligent when they find
how kind their new owners will treat them,
compared with THEN former pagan masters.

There is just now considerable discussion 60

black population of several of the Slave States.
There is probably some 500 900 of these human

the Southern States, bad condition of things
must follow.

The Rutland Courier, Stump Tail" now
that he has got his head off, says he don't
want any sympathy from Republicans. We
think they will not sympathize with him.
There are enough unfortunate ones among his
own clique to do that, and from experience, too
But do not the following extracts from that pa
per, look like begging for sympathy where he
has had none, and now stands little chance of
getting it P?
I" We are not in the habit Of begging for
ourselves, but we know it is our duty to remind
our friends Of their political duty. If the
leading Democrats of Western Vermont chose
to aid us a little, they could double our circula-
ton in month, and we could afford to spend
our time in making the Courier more inter-
esting.
We know of Post-Masters in this Comfy who
pretend to be leading Democrats, and the reve-
nue. of whose Offices net them $500 per annum,
who have never subscribed for the Courier, or
obtained single subscriber for our paper, al
though assuming to be friends to the Courier,
its editor and the Democracy. The conse-
ouence is, that the Democratic vote in these
towns has dwindled down to bakers Dozen
Is this as it should be? Are the working bees
to be turned out and the drones kept in? If
SO, farewell to Democracy in Vermont.
The editor of this paper has, for many years,
procured the State and County votes at his own
expense, and distributed them to the several
towns, and then has had the modification to
have those who call themselves Democratic
Post Masters, destroy the votes sent to them"
We are sorry for this headless Stump Tail"

Tue symptoms in Judge Stidger's case grow
more favorable as the knitting process of the
fractured bones advances. The wound which
troubled him most, and to which no public
allusion has heretofore been made, was in
the lower ribs of the left side, three of which
were torn loose from their connection with
the vertebral column. Pain from this quar-
ter has entirely subsided, and the Judge
grows more cheerful under the excellent
