bad recourse to a vote expulsion first and' 1
thereafter, to vote of censure which evinces
la ka result that the spir.t of traih still holds
a tliffit dominion over tho Congress ot Abraham

Kentucky received, is the reception by h:i#of

In view of the scarcity of seeds of all

easy mode of projiog*ttiug Irish potatoes
and toiuatous ; 1 tin mi by cuttings. When
.L- .
me potatoes hum come out of the carl h
three or tour inches, on si rainy day or
after a t-lmwer take up alt the roots except
the one which is to remain, and set
tlii-m out us you would tomatoes ?r cabbage
plants, or sweet potatoe drawers ?
'Jhey will grow and boar as early as those
that are left cn the potatoe. It you wish
lo incoase your Irish potatoe crop still
more, when thebusli ;onitiH-nce* to branch
out cut or break u number of these branches
frm i four to six inches long, ind set
them out. as it they had roots to ihcni
They will grow readily, and will bear po
tat oca later than the others. Cutting-, of
the tomatoes also grow very readily.
In transplanting cabbages, tomatoes
and other plants liable to destruction by
the grub or cut worm, a bit ot paper

? In "A Trip to Cuba," written by ... H.
Dana, Jr., o| Boston, all out and out Abolitionists,
he is Ibrccd by being brought
into contact with the negro, to make this
confession :
"The negro of the Nor'h is an ideal negro;
it is the negro refitted by white culture,
derated by white blood, instructed
even by while ininuity. The ncgr> among
negroes is a course, grinning, flat-footed,
thick f-ktiII creuiures as Uu'ibun, lazy, as
the laziest of brutes, ehielly ninbitious to
bs of no use to anybody in tbe world. He
bas but the tai g'blo instincts of nil creatures?love
