The Washington Star describes the
new plant to be distributed from the
botanic garden this year. 1t is known
as the Aralia Pa1oyrifera and pros
duces the beautiful substance known
as rice paper. 1t has soft, downy
palmate leaves and grows ten feet
high, with stem four inches in di-
ameter, full of white pith like the el>
der. 1t is divided into pieces three
inches long, and by the aid of sharp
instrument is unrolled, forming the
thin, narrow sheets known as rice pa
per, greatly used by the Chinese for
drawing figures of plants and animals,
and also for making artificial flow ers.
It was first introduced from the island
of Formosa to Europe in 1858; from
there it has been widely disseminated.
It is almost naturalized in some parts
of Australia; in the Southern States,
perhaps in California, it will flourish.
As an ornamental outdoor foliage
plant it is we'll worthy of cultivation in
any part of the country.

A special telegram from Quincy to

ces the nomination by the State Con
vention of Florida of Mr.. George F.
Drew, of Suwannee county, as a can
didste for Governor, and MIR. Noble
A. Hull, of Orange county, for Lieu.
tenant Governor. These nominations,
says the NeaOs, were received with en-.
thusiastic delight by the delegates.
Mr.. Drew is one of the most success
full business men in the State. OF I'M
swervjng integrity and of irreproach-
able character, his candidacy disarms
the criticisms of even the most reck-
less supporter of either Stearns or
Conover. That he will lead the Flor
ida Democrats to victory, we have no
doubt.

Tho Philadelphia Times ofthe 7thlnst
was jubilant over the fact that on the 7th
day of June. 1776, in the G,ne,al Con-
gress of the United Colonies of Ameri-
ca, Richard Henry Lee. of Virginia.
of Virginia, offert the following reso-
buttons. which. having been seconded
by John Adams, of Massachusetts,, We're
laid over till the next morning at 10
o'clock, at which time the members
were roques ed to attend punctually
for their consideration:
ResOIUeG, Tnat these United Colo
MES are, aud of right Onght to be, free
and independent States; that they arc
abso!ved from ali allegiance to the
British Crown, and that all political
connection between them and the
State of Great Britain is, and ought to
be totally dissolved.
That it is expedient forthwith to
take most eff ctual measures for form
ing foreign alliances.
That a plan of confederation be pre-
pared and transmitted to the respect
i've colonies for their consideration and
appreciation.
That will all do very well, but the
simple, short resolution unanimously
adopted on the 18th of April, 1776, by
the Provincial Congress of North Car
DINA when in session at Halifax, was
better if for no other reason than that
it was near two months earlier. 1t
reads as follows:
Resolved, That the delegates from
this colony in the Continental Congress
be uncovered to concur with the dele
gates from the other colonies in declar-
ing Independence and forming foreign
alliances; reserving to this colony the
exclusive right of forming constltu-
ton and laws for this colony.
It is all very we'll, as the Times says.
'.to stand in Independence Chamber
and imagine the brave Virginian rising
with challenge to tyrants in his hand;
to note the breathless anxiety on every
face as the paper is read; to know the
hopes and fears and high resolves of
the fathers; to commune with the
choicest spirits of their time;" but for

of patriotism from the very fountain

independence waited not until June,
1776, to send forth its waters of liberty.
Nor was it in the City of Brotherly
Love nor yet upon the sacred soil OF
the Old Dominion that the memorable
event took place. Twentieth OF May,
ITS, was the time and Mecklenburg
county, North Carolina, was the place
where American independence was
born. At Halifax, near a year later,
the child WAS formally acknowledged
and Only baptised. AS We have had
occasion to say before, any one DESTROYS
of getting at the 'true inwardness' OF
the American Revolution, and the
times and scenes in which it had its
origin can not do better than to search

DEAR SIR:-I see it stated in your
paper that it is reported in official
circles that will be the Radical can
didate for Public Treasurer. Twice
before I have seen my name mentioned
in your paper in connection with
prominent positions on the Republican
ticket. / did not attach enough
Importance to the first two announce
ments to notice it, but as the rule is
that three tips is out, [ will notice
this, if for no other purpose than to
thank the News and its correspondent
for thee interest they seemingly
take in my welfare, and whilst
thanking you foe your kindness,
permit me to say that there
is such thing as hugging one to death
and as do not propose to be Rugged
to death by any man, I will state for
the information and relief of all that I
am not candidate for any position on
either ticket, as can make tolerably
good living outside of political office.
and feel that my services are not alb
solutely necessary M any official posi-
ton to the we'll being of our good old
State; and in addition to this, I have
SO far escaped the prevailing epidemic
the desire to sacrifice ones self in
the service of the dear people.
AS your paper might in section
where I am not known, produce the
impression that I had changed my
politics for Office, 1 will state that I am
delegate to the Democratic State
Convention, appointed from Mecklen-
burg county where live and where it
is presumed my politics are well
known. I expect to attend the conven-
ton and exert what influence I can to
nominate such a ticket as will COM
mand the undivided support of the
true conservative people of the State
and thereby insure a Democratic vie

Gov.Y.LoE~,s s-.sE~arH.

The Hartford Times, Tijd n
paper. publishes u table of the States
which it says will vote for Governor
Tilden's nomination at st. Louis.
Lanving out the Southern States.
whose delegates have not been instruct
ed for any one, we find that California,
Colorado, Colneo icut, Iowa, Illinois.
Maine, Massachusetts,, Michigan, Ne
vada, New Hampshire, New York,
Oregon. Rhode Island, Vermont and
and Wisconsin are set down as sure tic
go for Governor Tilden. Accepting
the list as accurate, there are on it but
four States which the Demo
cratic party has a reasonable certainty
of carrying and but four thai
Democratic papers claim for the nom.
inee of the st. Louis Convention. Con
necticut, New York. Nevada and Ore
gon may be considered certain; Cali
fornia as exceeding doubtful: The re
turns of the last election make the fol
lowing exhibit:
Iowa, Radical majority.
Illinois, Radical majority.
Maine, Radical majority.
Massachusetts, Radical majority.
Michigan, Radical majority.
New Hampshire. Radical majority
Rhode Island, Radical majority.
Wisconsin, Radical majority.
Vermont, Radical majority.
These States will cast one hundred
and seventy-four votes at the st. Louis
Convention-all for Tilden. Thes,
States will cast eighty-seven electora
votes next November-all for the Rad
ical candidate. It really would seen
that the States. which will have t.
elect Democratic President, if one il
elected at all, should have some voice
in the nomination of a candidate.
