bids fair to be of such value to the
country as the Chinese Sugar C'a»ne.
Experiments have been tried with the
seeds distributed, in Georgia, Illinois,
New Hampshire, Vermont, &c., and it
has been ascertained that it will grow
wherever Indian corn is cultivated. The
Patent Office Report thus speaks of it 2
" Since its introduction into this coun-
try it has proved itself well adapted to
our geographical range of Indian corn.
It is of easy cultivation, being similar
to that of maize or broom-corn; and, if
the seeds are planted in ‘May, -.. ..‘."..'
Middle States, or still earlier at the
South, two crops of fodder can be grown
in a season from the same roots, irres-
pective of drought—the first one in June
or July, to be out before the panicle_s
appear, which would be green and suc-
culent, like young Indian corn, and the
other a month or two later, when or be-
fore the sced is fully matured. The
amount of fodder which it will produce
to the acre, with ordinary cultivation,
may be safely estimated at seven tons
when green, or at least two tons per
acre when thoroughly cured. The
stalks, when nearly mature, are filled
with a saccharine juice, which may be
converted into sugar, syrup, alcohol, or
beer, or may be used for dyeing wool or
silk a permanent red or pink, and the
entire plant is devoured with avidity,
either in a green or a dry state, by hor-

a few weeks since. Mr- I‘. sent us a sample

principle, not for the man. Fremont
has been defeated, but the principle
" still lives.” The thousands who swel-
led the vote for the gallant Pathfinder
on the 4th of November have now as
strong an interest——as determined a will
—to establish the principle of Freedom
in our Territories as they then had.-
This bond of union is an abiding one.
Failures do not break it or weaken its
force. Its advocates are girded for the
battle of the coming four years, or the
coming forty years, if that time is need-
ed for its accomplishment.
The rights, the duties, the advantages,
the privileges of Free Labor are only
just beginning to be understood by the
great working community in the free
States. That community is but now
beginning to feel the impportance of se-
curing our large, rich, growing Terri-
tories to the interests of Free Labor.-—
They are beginning to see that if they
wish to preserve and perpetuate the dig-"
nity and value of labor, they must make
an effort to exclude slave labor from the
Territories. The two systems cannot
cmeccits. The soil of our rich domain
must either be tilled by a ‘race of men
who do not receive the advantages of
their labor, or by men the efforts of
whose sinews is for their own profitand
dignity. The question, then. for Freedom
in our Territories is as important as it
was in October last.
That the views of the Great Free
Labor party were right, appears from
the acknowledgments of the Northern
supporters of Mr. Buchanan now.-—
When they wished to secure the aid of
the South for their candidate, they were
silent on this topic. Now that their
dispenser of the spoils is elected, they
all demand Freedom for the Territories.
The South begin to discover that they
have been deceived.
Far-:5: Luzon, Fuss Tizanrronins-should
be the rallying cry now. It is our mot-
to : it will be the motto of the united
ranks of the Opposition in Connecticut.
The freemen of this State have seen
enough of the evil and degrading effects
of slave labor not to unite to keep it
from our Territories. The news con-
stantly poured in upon us from the South
of the plots and insurrections among the
slaves, and the dangers and terrors con-
nected therewith, show too strongly the
immense evils connected with the em-
ployment of slave labor for the voters of
Connecticut to support any party that
would introduce it into Kansas or into
other parts of our extensive domain.
FREE LABOR and FREE Tsiuuronrns
will then be our rallying cry, and will
unite the ranks of the Opoosition in
Connecticut. V

our New York correspondence.
New Yoak, Dec. 19, I856.
The cold term has commenced with-
out a doubt, at least in this city. Yes-
terday was generally acknowledged by
all to be the coldest we have had yet.
To-day is milder, and looks a little like
snow. Our citizens hurry along, sha-
king their hands and arms, stamping,
their feet and and scarcely noticing an
acquaintance unless by avery cold stiff
bow. Very few of our lady friends can
be induced to venture out, except per
traps in the evening to a ball or party.
To those whom necessity drives out, are
generally those thatappearinthe streets
this week, at least. From every ap-
pearance, the present season bids fair to
be agay one here. The general rage
(so called,) appears to be for the new
Sociables that have just appeared. The
Sociables comprise as members, a large
number of young ladies and gentlemen,
who form themselves together, organize
and elect a" President, Vice President,
and other officers. A small amount is
charged each male member monthly, for
dues, etc. He has then the privilege of
introducing a female acquaintance. The
Soc-fables are held weekly at the resi-
dence of each member in rotation, and
by that time the season is at an end.
There are at present a number in the
city. Some are known as the Hiawa-
tha, St. Nicholas, Forget-me-not, Eure-
ka, Waverly, etc. I think they are fast
taking the place of private parties. The
:fact is these Sociable gatherings may be
set down as secoiid-hand balls. But the
present generation is a fast one, and
new fashions, in every respect, are ta-
king the place of old established cus-
toms. In no city will this appear so
much as in New York. Comfort is not
considered at all in dressing, as long as
it is fashionable, by our female friends.
They will persist in keeping up with
the fashion, and the consequence is that
consumption bears them off’ to an early
grave, If any one doubts this, let them
but attend one of our fashionable soirees
or evening parties, and judge for them-
selves. But enough of this homily.
The papers state that Mr. Nathan Bangs
Jr., of the firm of Bangs, Brothers &
Co., died on Wednesday night. This
firm is an old one, and the death of Mr.
Bangs will no doubt be greatly segret-
ted by many of our merchants. P.

DISCUSSION.
The President’s annual message was
read.
Mr. Campbell moved that if it be re-
ferred to the Committee of the Whole
on the State of the Union. He regard-
ed the document as one of the most ex-
traordinary ever emanating from an Ex-
ecutive. It was, in his opinon, a budg-
et of inconsistencies, containing serious
charges against a large portion of the
people of the North, which have had
no foundation whatever in fact, which
he could prove. Nearly four years ago
the President was inaugurated into the
oflice, and announced to the people of
the country repose which the Union
then enjoyed relative to Slavery on the
Compromise of 1850, saying it should
receive no shock during his official term,
yet the first session of Congress had
scarcely begun before the President,
through his friends in this Hall, sought
by all the means at his command to re-
peal the time houored Compromise of
18i0. The pretence was that it was
necessary to enable the people of Ne-
braska and Kansas to enjoy the princi-
ples of the Compromise Measures of
1850. The repeal was carried and the
repose which so long blessed the coun-
try, disturbed, and an excitement une-
quled in the history of the past was forc-
ed on it by his first official act and influ-
ence, and the Union shaken to its very
centre. Now he is retireing from office,
he arraigns a vast majority of the people
of the Free States as guilty of \making
war on the Constitutional right of the
South. The President has been con-
demned by a majority of three hundred
thousand freemen. .
Mr. Keitt inquired whether Mr.
Campbell took the Fremont and Fillmore
_vote together to make up that majority.
Mr Campbell replied affirmatively.
Mr. Keitt asked whether he regarded
the supporters of Mr, Fillmore at the
North as Anti Nebraska and in favor of
Free-Soilism.
Mr. Cambell thought there was not
a single member in this House belonging
to the Fillmore party of the North who
did not, when before the people, oppose
the principples of the Nebraska bill, and
he ventured to say that there was not
one man out of every hundred who
supported Mr. Fillmore who did not op-
pose the repeal of the Missouri Compro-
mise. They condemned Squatter Sov-
eraignty as defended by the Buchanan
party of the North. This party in that
section assumed that it was more relia-
ble than either the Fillmore or Fremont
party.
A Voioe—That is so.
Mr. Campbell—It claimed to be in fa-
vor of the Freedom to Kansas, and that
those who voted for Mr. Dunn’s bill had
voted to iegalize and perpetuate Slavery
in Kansas, avowing, at the same time,
by the terms ofthe Nebraska Bill, Slave-
ry was excluded from that Territory.
Mr. McMullin—I,_desire to propound
three questions.
Mr. Campbell—One at a time if you
please.
Mr. McMullin—FirstA—-Did not the
gentleman's party in the Free States
charge on the Southern portion of this
confederacy a design to carry Slavery
into Kansas, and if necessary, that they
would do it at the point of the bayonet '!
Mr. Cambell—We not only made the
charge, but proved it.
A voice from the Republican side---
That's a fact.
Mr. McMullEn--If you take the tes-
timony of your packed Committee you
could prove it. _ I would now ask, did‘.
not the Fremont party represent Mr.
Buchanan as a Pro-Slavery man, who,
if elected, would favor the establishment
of Slavery in the Free States?
Mr. Campbell—I can speak for myfilf.
I was actively engaged in the canvass
I did charge Mr Buchanan with being.
Pro-Slavery. It looked not merely to
number of questions pfOp0lll.d~

wlictlicr the Sliaimons are white men
or not. [Laughter.
Mr, McMullin—-The gentleman ‘mid
arraigned Mr. Van Buren for having
introduced Negro testimony. I want
to know howthe gentleman can excul-
pate himself by such testimony.
Mr. Campbe|l—-I know the character
of this man Anderson and with all respect
to gentlemen, I would as soon take his
word as that of-—(after a pause)—auy‘
man on this floor.
Mr. Ellmore did not see what appli-
calionthese proceedings had to the num-
ber of copies of the President’s Message
to be printed. [Laughten]
Mr. Clingman, expressed a hope that
a rambling discussion would not be en-
gaged in at this time. He was anxious
to proceed with other business. There
would be ample opportunity hereafter
for debate.
Mr. Houson,nfter what he charged as
violation by Mr. Campbell of the usages
of the House, thought the debate ought
to be allowed to proceed.
Mr. Grow rose to a point of order,
insisting that this discusion was irrele-
vant.
Mr. Clingmau thought it extraordi-
nary that the gentieniaii from Pennsylva-
nia had made that discovery ; and moved
the previous question, which was not
sustained.
Mr. Sherman said that on the first
day of the session the gentleman from
Missouri (Mr. Phelps) introduced a. ques-
tion relative to Mr, Whitfield’s seat,,once
judicially determined; and before this
was disposed of, the Democrats procras-
tinating, the President had sent in his
message. The President not only ar-
raingned by unfounded ace’-usations the
party which his A(IllllnlSi.l'a‘l.loll brought
into existence, but sought to defend him-
self by attributing to that party purposes
which they did not entertain,
charged them with——wbifle pretending
to prevent the spread of S'.very—a de-
sire to change the existing institutions
of the States, thus accussing the party
of false pretences. Those charged with
this act except to listen patiently, and
not open their months in reply, The
Republican Party are conservative men
of influence in the North who stood by
the Compromise of 1860. Many States
give Fremont majorities unprecedentedly
large. This charge .of false pretenses
was unfounded. The Repblicans did
not propose nor wish to interfere with
the relations of the whites and the blcks
in Southern States. They never claimed
the power to do it. The President im-
putes that which if unfounded. They
claim that in violation of the pledges
made, and for political purposes the Mis-
souri Compromise was repealed ; and
now they were called on to submit to
what their honor and sense of justice
declared to be wrong. The Republican
Party would not have been in existence,
but for the acts of the President, who pre-
pared the population of Kansas for civil
war, by meting out injustice to their
reasonable demands. The Republican
Party only asks to have the Slavery
question put where the President found
it as to Terriorles.
The Democrafc Party, by overthrow-
ing Pierce and Douglas, had put a seal
of condemnation on Kansas-Nebraska
act, and by bringing forward Mr. Bu-
chan, who had not '_been complicated
with’it, they evaded the question. The
Democrats of Ohio and Indiana advcated
" Buchanan, Breckinridge, and Free
Kansas." In these States they evaded
and avoided the question of the repeal
of the Missouri Compromise, by declar'
ing that matter ofno political importance
and that Mr. Buchanan was nominated
ugaist the combined vote of Pierceard
Douglas, and that he repudiated that
law, and further, that Mr. Buchanan
would make Kansasa Free State. In
conclusion he said he was opposed to
agitation, and characterized the Demo-
cartic Party as sectional. Adjourned

ford has reached the sum of $479,50—$6

town. The Advocate thinks they are
yet good for $1,000.
The Scarlet Feve-r.——This disease is
the extension of Slavery to all the
Territories, through the Nebraska Bill,
but for the acquisition of Slave Territo-
ry.
Mr, McMullin.—Did not you and
your party represent that Slaveholders
owning five negroes were entitled ‘to
cast three votes ? [Laughter,]
Mr. Campbell—-I said under the dis-
tribution of political power fiive Slaves
in the South were equal to three votes
in the Free States. Does the gentle-
man deny the proposition?
4 Mr. Mt'Mullin Iuquired whether free
negroes did not vote in Mr. Campbell’s
district, or somethng to that effect.
Mr. Campbell-—I believe one negro
wave was given in my district. That
was cast by a man who was not author-
ized to do so under a decision of the
moan, and he voted for my opponent.
[Laughton]
Mr. Campbell sent to the Clerk's desk
3, paper, which was read. signed by the
j ierson just released to, named Anderson,
claiming the right of suffrage because,
a mong other things, he was three-quain
is are white. the remainder being made up

that his father was a brother of Ex-Gov-
ernor Wilson" Shannon. [Excessive

Mp, G-jdcllngs called his ‘colleague to
order for casting an imputation on a
color ed constituent, by representing a

llilr. Campbell-—-My colleague will
ple ase excuse me. I was dflV3|1 W "'9

prevailing to a considerable extent this
winter ; and the cities report a large fa-
tality from it among the children. Col.

W istas"s Balsam of Wild Cherry.
From ehe New York Ecvnilig Mirror.
Among all the Pannceas zulvertisod for the cure or
human ailments, there is none in which we have more
confidence than Wistiii-’s Bulsaiii of Wild Cherry. Wr-
regard it as one of Naturt’s own preparations—:-iinpl.-,
s:il’e, pleasant to take, and almost certain to cure all
bilious and pulmonary affections. We have witnesso-l
its wonderful effects in cases that were regarileil as
hopelessly desperate, and we can conscientiously rec-
ommend it as one of the best medicines in the world.
It liuai proved more efficacious as a remedy for Cougli.-c
Colds, lufyenza, Bronchitis, Asthma, and Cqiisuinplioii
in its incipient stages, than any other medicine.
