Partaking, as I do most sincerely and ( heartily, in tho recent tiiumph of the na- | tional democratic party, I cannot anticipate, < I can scarceiy hope, the victory is decisive, or thnt its consequences will bo permanent. ! BF It is worse than unless to disguise the fact, j since it will only load to a fulso confidence | of strength, which generally results, if not . in dissensions among tho voters, at least in : ; total disregard to that unanimity hy which alone we can reap the fruits of victory and guard against future defeat. It is worse than useless to disguise the fact that in the election which lias just terminated, a ma? jority of the people of the United States, at least of those who cast their votes, \v as opposed to the successful candidate, and that, had they all united on one candidate, he would inevitably have succeeded. Is it not quite probable they will do so at the next presidential election I It is true they wow appear to be animated by a bitter feeling of hostility. Hut when wo revert to the recent electioneering campaign, and find them acting in concert in Now England, in Pennsylvania, and, in fact, wherever such a union afforded them the assurance or the hope of i success, is it not probable, more than probable, that this union will be consummated in 18t>0, and the democracy called on to meet in combination those elements of opposition which by great exertions they have separately defeated? These combined factions?I cannot dig * nify them with the name of the parties. since they have nocmnmo i or fixed piinei pies?have at |ea-?t one bond of union ? namely, hostility to the groat democratic [ party, A common hatred is often a strong- I er bond of union tlmn that of kindred, af feclion or affinity of blood, and, in my ; view, it is (jiiito as likely that the enetnie> of the constitution and tho Union will ulti- j mately amalgamate, as that their friends will become disunited. Put, setting this , aside, thong!* it is boasted, and that justly, tliaf tin* nnumt? Ima - ?1 - ?.?v> una VVVII (Uil ICU| 'IIHTM*, foot, and dragoons," it appears very evident that thoy have already rallied, or are ahoul to rally again. Far front being di>eour ! aged by defeat, they seem only inspired with new confidence; and the democracy, while triumphing in their victory, should prepare betimes for new encounters. Thoy won ; tho victory by union, and by union alone can they hope to achieve others. This is most especially true of the democracy of the South; audit is with serious misgivings 1 have recently observed indications of it want of unanimity in that quarter, which may eventually give rise t<> a conirofversy that will widen the breach, and end in destroying all future concert ?.f action. The South ought to know that its safety, at least while in Union, consists in its own indissoluble union. While marshalled in one great phalanx, and presenting one undivided front, it may bid dotinneo l<? all the arts of British statesmen, all the intl.i ence of the Mulish and Anglo American press, all the ellorts of foreign and domestic incendiary philanthropists, and all combi- | nations of sectional politicians, who, being unable to roach tho summit of the temple, seem determined on levelling it with the dust- The South, it is true, is in a ininori- j ty, but so long as it remains a consolidated minority it may defy tho world. Well did that great statesman, the pride of South ! Carolina, (who ought to he, and one day will be, the pride of this great conl'edera- | tion, let it spread as wide as it may)?well did he say, that while the South was unanimous on the presidential question, it had nothing to fear. 1 hold it a moral impos- ; sibiltly to combine the other portions of the Union in a sectional confederacy. It has, often been tried, and always failed. Even had the black republicans succeeded in the recent election, that success wouiu only have hftpn a nrnliiilo ?r. 1 ? 1 j? - uowumuu una una retry in their parti-colored squadrons. Tho com-i ^ luon hatred of the democracy would have yielded to personal rivalry, and the contest , for tho spoils ended like that of ilio tiirec goddesses for the golden apple?in feuds and jealousies that shook tho ihrouc of Olympian Jove. On? of the invariable consoquenccs of a strict union of tho South is, that it draws with it tho support of very many citizens of , tho North, who, though they may not, per- j haps, make quite &o much noiso in the world as some howling demagogues, exer- , cise a secret intluenco in tho recesses of every community that happily counteracts til Air ffforla Tl. ? - ?? - - * 1 .?.. men are nciuuieii solO- | ly by a love of their country, and a desire ! to preserve tiro Union by adhering to those compromises which alono givo it being. They maintain the rights of tho South be j cause thev nro guarantied by the constilu- i tion, and thoy know very well that tho righta of all the States are embarked in one bottom. When thoy see the South rallying as one man in defence of their rights and nroporty, thev not only sympathise with liieiu, but readily and earnestly givo their y aid to those who, while calling on lien uh'S either remain passive or become traitors to themselves and accomplicos in tho ruin and j desolation of their households. Any man who consult# his own heart must become i MMS "I ll'ir conscious that Ito feels littlo disposition to aid those who will not help themselves; and, furthermore, that lie gives little credit to complaints that are not accompanied or followed by etlbrts to get rid of their causes ro For these reasons, the South should always a be a unit ns it was in tho recent election, Qi with the exception of Maryland, which is itself not only a unit but a phenomenon. ,n It would puzzle tho most sagacious inqui- ^ rer, who could see through a millstone, to arrive at any tolerable theory that would ac- tli count for a State containing a greater num- ti< her of Catholics than auy other in the in Union except Louisiana, and abounding g< in slaves, giving its suffrages to a prcsiden- tli lial candidate representing a party coinpo- w Bed principally of thoso who would free all of the negroes and disfranchise nil the Cnlho 01 lies. Tho good people of Maryland must sii he very near sighted or very disinterested, tli Feeling, then, tho necessity of a strict ei union of tho southern States in defenco of S? their rights, and viewing tlicm as the great n< bulwarks of the constitution and the Union, ai it was with not only alarm, but dismay, 1 w noticed, sinco tho icsult of tho lato election, ci certain indications that seem to foreshadow ax a schism, or nt least a diversity of opinion hi in that section, which may lead to a schism, ui I allude to tho message of Gov. Adams to oi the Legislature of South Carolina, recoin- J p< mending a revival of tho slave trade, and , 15 to tho language of certain very ably-con- hi ducted journals of the South, with which, I of ain sure, a great majority of the people of oi tliM quarter will not sympathize. is It is not my design to enter on tho in- n; quiry whether this trade is in its results ct beneficial or injurious to tho happiness of fo the unmitigated barbarians of Africa. It ?f i? sufficient to say that it has beco .10 re- cl pugiianl to the feelings of the w hole people bi of this countiy; that it cannot ho revived la under the sanction of any law that can bo si reasonably anticipated; and that mo^t as- et suredly any serious attempt to attain that object \vou!<l at otico alienate from the ( j South every friend in the North, and sever all the ties which subsist between the democracy of the two sections. The democracy Vl of the North has always sustained the South, not from any predilection for slave ' ry, hut because in so doing they were up* ' 1 holding the constitution, which had sane- ? lioned the institution, nnd a violation of al the guarantied rights of the holders of ; M slaves would be a violation of that compact. o1 Uut the light of trading in slaves by foreign importation was not guarantied bv the 'l constitution hevond a slated period, which has long sinca pasetl. It is now prohibited 1,1 by law, and wo venture to predict thet law will never bo repealed. Any attempt j r| to do so on the part of thu South, or anv southern State, will he successfully resisted, *"J and will answer no other purpose than to ll alienate northern friends, and furnish north- i etn enemies with a new and in??ro well- | grounded theme for now abuse and new cn- ; w n I luinnies. j ei Although I aeon it Gorornor Adams of ? any such design, 1 do not hesitate to express ' the opinion that this design (if such design there be) to revive a trade which (whetint r< justly oi not) has become detestable in the . l'' eyes of a great portion of the civilized world, will, if persevered in, do more to weaken : s' the causo of the South than all the fu ' ^ turo efforts of abolition. It is. moreover, ff1 little else than a brand thrown into the f fur nance, w hoso lires there is too much rea- 1,1 son to fear will never ho extinguished; and ;il it is one of the heaviest blows ever aimed at the I'nion, because, if persisted in. it will deprive the South of all northern support. l" i i... i . - - - - *-?. iiiiu, uv leaving u o> ino iitcrov or lanati cisin, f ?rcc it in self defence to retire from a confederacy where no respect is paid t<> its feeling, its li^lit*, its property, or its 'J' peace.

A new complication is to l>e added to tl listing embarrassments of the loading E' >pcan powers. Prussia desires to establis "protectorate" over Neufcliatel. Tlio fac ' the caso are tlins clearly Mated by a wel formed correspondent of llie New Yoi onimercial Advertiser: "The parties immediately interested i lis controversy are tho Swiss Uonfedcr Dti and tlie King of Prussia. Hut win \s Prussia to do with Neufcliatel? In jographical point of view, not a wliitrnoi an tlio Stato of New York has to t! ith the State of Kentucky. Tho kingdoi ' Prussia is not contiguous to Neufcliatc to any part of the Swiss territories, in ngle point. And yet Fiedorick Williai e Fourth claims to ho the rightful sovc gn of Neufcbatel; and on the third day < jptenrber last an insurrection was raisi {ainst the federal authorities in furthe ico of his pretensions.

The king, throng s ambassador at Heme, has demanded tl ^conditional liberty of tlio prisoners, will rt a trial, and in this demand ho is su irted by tho governments of Austria as aden. The last steamer from Kuro| 'ought the news of tho unanimous refus ' tho Federal Council (which answers ir President) to accede to tho demand, generally understood that the council wi jt release the prisoners, except upon tl mdilion that the king renounce, once ai rever, his pretensions to the sovereign ' Neufcliatel. Thus it seem that tho litt oud which, a short time ego, seemed r gger than a man's hand, has grown rge as to overshadow temporarily otli ihjects of controversy, and seriously thres i the pcaco of Europe." Tho same writer thus disposes of the clai ' Prussia to Neufcliatel: "For more than two hundred years pr ous to this period, (I7u7.) Neufcliatel h; sen united in close alliance with the Swi nitons, though it was not an actual iiier i?r of the confederacy.

Chinese Sugar Cale. to u We linve heretofore notice^he lemarka. stnt< >lo which attended the cul^rotion of the t|je^ Chinese Sugar (Jane the past summer by unti he farmers of this State nn<l Georgia, the Sow we would call attention to the growth 10 tad culture of the plant, ex- tracted front 1 Circular issued by the Commissioner of y Patents at Washington. ob<? Sugar and molasses are very high, and Providence seems to have brought this plant w-(tj nto notice at the time of our greatest need." Let every farmer, and every iuhi? w ho can . . 1 levote an acre to the cultivation, get one juari of seed, plant, and tend it well, and ^N '( lie will have enough sugar and molasses <^l(p lo last for a year, at a remarkably small hit? :o?t. It is no btiuibug. It is a rich blevs- I>,c ing. and one that should l?e welcomed with ^ tlevout thankfulness. We have before us ' a leticr from Col. \V. S, Lyles, of Fairfield, hit in which he says ho designs planting five! tenr acres at least, from which he expects oue j thousand gallons of syrup. lJut syrup and cR(l' sugar are not alone realized from the plant. rep| 1 he fodder is greater in amount than den can be gathered from an acre of corn, while 1 the increased ctlltute each year w ill create !llK a steady demand for the seed at from *3 to . io per bushel. pie. Wo earnestly press a trial.of this plant ,l w upon our farmers, Get cood rood, end , , . . lh? cultivate properly?as though you were in jt,a, carno?l?and tlie crop will astonish you pfa and dissipate al! inciedulity. hie We append the description and mode of cultivation, as they come from the Commis- |k>m Bioner of Patents: p|a De8ciuition and Hahit op Growth.? co" The Chinese sugar-cane, when cultivated fr,Jl on ordiimiy land, in the United States, Boincwhat after the manner of broom-corn, Pro grows to the hcig t, of from eight to sixteen Vi( feet, while in Kurope it does not attain J?11 much more than half of this altitude, lu m? stems nre straight and smooth, often cover- P^ cd with bloom, or down, having leaves somewhat tlvxui^^ falling over and greatly ) '? resembling in-^ipearance tho<o of Indian 'n ' com, but more elegant in form. When j m7 cultivated in hills, containing eight or ten J sta ks in each, it puts forth at its top a j RnJ conical panicle of dense flower*, green at j se* first, but changing into violet shades, and Pre finally into dark purple at maturity. In on' Franco and the central nud northern seclions of the United States it lias thus far 8an proved an annual; but from observations w 1 made by M. Vilmorin, as well as Aomoexperi- hm menu in our Southern Stales,! t is conjee- |? 1 lured that, from the vigor and fullness of ,n 1 the low or part of the stalks in autumn, by protecting them during tho winter, they c'6ri would produce new pUnts the following a?? -pring. It htHnJs drought far better than Indian corn, and will resist the efTocts of con- derable frost without injury, after the l"18 panicles appear, but not in its younger and more lender state. If nutfarkd to remain n,A in the field after the ripened ,nu hi l have been rcmoveiL ?MRfertli8 season | Ju<' is sullioiciitly warm ana kumKcw panicle- ' J,>cl wi.l shoot out at tho topm olf^oints, one or j ^ more to each stalk, and mature ft 6econd i crop of need*. The average yield of seed j lUf. to each panicle is at least a gill. t'ci.ti vatiojt.?Since its introduction in- j yo to ilijs country the Chinese sugar-cane has | j proved itself well adapted to our geogrxphi- j ac;, cal 'nnge of Indian corn. It is of easy : V0I cultivation, being similar to that of maize,; j,ar or Utwm-vurn, but will prosper in a much aVl poorer soil. It doos not succeed so well, j however, wlitn sown broadcast with the lo ( view of producing fodder, as it will not grow to inuCi more than one half its usual : ^ height. If lbk? seeds are planted in May, vxe in the Middle'Slates, or still earlier nt the ! t Soutli, two c|?ips of louder can be grown in wjt a season from uiewwne roots?the first one nro in June or July, to t>? cut before the pani i civ.- appear, which ?^u!d be grecu and s jceulent, like young lirdian corn; and the 1 ujc] other a month or twol?'"', at the time or1 before the seed is iull# matured. In the >oe extreme Northern States, where the season }<^)S is too short and cool for-ot to ripen in the 1 an(] bpen air, tlio cultivator will necessarily ! noj have to obtain his seed from regions further j jj,., south. If it were important for liiin to raise ' at|* j ins own -red, lie could start the plants tin- jl5n dcr glass in the spring, and jemovo them ( i y^, (o the field or garden at about the time of j alu| planting Indian corn, after which they j<)Q] would fully mature, Onejqoart of seei/s! are found to he sttfik ion? for an acre. Ifj ihe soil be imlitfcrent ut p-mr, they may bo m;j sown in lows UN about three feet 0f.(1 ipart, with fie plants from ten to twelve iuchu%4feiunlh-r. but if the soil U) rich they in he pmuted in lulls, five or more seeds ttouch, f.uir or five feet uji-irt in one ditrc- L?>i t?Ki and three or four the other. The ry t fwo.ts may worked or hoed twice in the Mr. m- i-oii, in a similar manner to Indian corn, t >f \u\ suckers or superlluous shoots which co? spring nj? ir.av be removed. The seed 1 ?rn s.ioulu hot be harvested before it acquires a m , daik or t ack hue. Should the plants i Ma lodge or fall 1<> the ground, by the extreme j (he weight of the neads. dtuing storms of wind j the or lain, before the seed matures, they may j ?!>!< remain for week* without injury, in col j tba hfCting the seed, a Convenient method is to ing cut off tlio stalks aliout a fool below the van panicles, tie them up in hunches of twenty- Noli ve, and suspend tliein in any secure airy ami place, sheltered from rain.
