Distribution Of Seeds and Pants
The New. York 15i6unc's Washington cores
pondent says that tho distribution Of seeds
and plants, intended for the North and West,
will be commenced This week. The Southern
and dseccded States have already had theirsbare.
Farmers and gardeners who wish to change
their garden seeds, should write to their Rep
resentative irn1nediately, if he be in Washing
ton, and If not, we suppose they can be OBJ
timed by sending direct to the Patent Office.
These seeds are said to be the finest, and con-
tain greater variety than ever before issued
from the Patent Office, Hence it is or the nj
most Importance to the whole country to have
them reach farmers and gardeners before they
select their spring seeds.

The article with this %eap,iou, which We have
copied from the Wisconsin, Chief will answer fol
other localities, and apply as we'll to a class Of alb
olItionists as to temperance reformers. The con
version of persons to anti-slavery by no means e.
'ects the entire specification of the individuals
They continue to retain their general characieris
tics. If they were mean and sordid before, theJ
will be mean and sordid afterward if they were
generous before, they will BE- generous afterward
10 the anti-slavery ranks win be found men drawn
from the two extremes of society. There are rig
id conservatives, some Of whom fought hard
against the cause they now nd vocate, and as long
as they conscientiously could; and when they
were converted, they embraced it with their whole
souls, and have ever stood firm in It's defence as c
rock in the ocean. And there too, are those who
have come into the reform through q spasmodie
attack-as surprising, perhaps. to others, as unac.
conntable to hemselvee-and have but spasmodic
returns OF reform symptoms. Their conversion
was a conversion operating upon their fee!iDgs-
their sympathies, rather than their understanding;
it operated upon the surface, and did not reach
the depths where lie principle. The former class
can always be relied upon-you know just where
to find them the latter may do good service II
they are tolled on to labor with something new
that will act as a stimulans to excite their feelings
but otherwise, it is risky to depend upon them.
The Americans are decidedly q sensation people.
and are daily becoming more SO. What do they
care about the grand old truths that like earth's
primal formation, mighty and inmoyable, under

their MINDS store house With immoyabie
thoughts, but always leaves plenty Of room for Tie
next new thing. Wise as they esteem Solomon.
they rejoice to think they were not his cotempo-
raries, for sad indeed to them would have been
the announcement, there is nothingaqaR under

Such is the character Of much of the material
that reformers of oil kinds have to operate upon /;
alter they are converted they expect that the
reform whose colors they wear, will regularly fur
them with spring and fall fashions, or failing

conflicting opinions such, for instance, as the

and who, if they should como upon the ground Of
