Jjiige W. 8. Oiriham, of the Austin On-
set and Hon. J. Wilder, of Bexar, arrived
In oar city yesterday, on their return from
the National Democratic Convention. They
confirm the accounts which preceeded them
of the remarkable unanimity which charac-
terised the proceedings of that body, and
lead to the reaffirmation and adoption of a
j feriea of principles which reflect the senti-
j ments of every intelligent patriot in the land.
1 Though that Convention, as all national
. gatherings, counted among its members some
black sheep—some who had affiliated with
the negro-worshippers,yet when the vote was
taken on those resolutions which embrace in
the strongest and most emphatic language
the principle of State rights and the Ne-
braska Bill, there tras not, in a body of more
than five hundred members, a single dissent-
ing roice .' Even the Softs of New York,
who have hitherto been regarded as the free-
soil wing of the New York Democracy, came
squarely up and placcd themselves upon the
platform, pledging themselves and their con-
stituents to give the nominees their hearty
support.
What a striking contrast between the action
of the Democracy and that of the Know
Nothings, who, having emasculated their
platforms in the vain hope of giving offence to
no political party, were not able to save
themselves from innumerable splits and
sub-divisions, so that now they have
Fillmore, Fremont and Stockton in the
field,the shrewdest among them being hardly
able to tell who is the simon pure Know
Nothing nominee.
The platform of principles presented by
the Democratic Convention is the most per-
fect embodiment of'genuine National Dem-
ocracy and State Rights ever presented to
the American people, and as (inch meets
with the hearty concurrence of every patriot-

Th« Cok Crop—Ths Weavh., *c.—The
extraordinary dronth that has prevailed,
without intermission, in a large section
of the State since the early part of May, has
greatly injured the corn crops, and in sev-
eral counties a half crop will not be made.
In some farms in Montgomery, Grimes and
Washington, the yield will not reach ten
bushels per acre. It is very fortunate that
the last crop was a large one. and that the
weavil has not as yet destroyed morh of it-
It becomes the planter now to make his old
corn go as far as possible, and to take the
necessary precaution to preserve the new |
crop from the weavil. We have seen a good
many planters who concur in experience and
opinion as to one infallible mode by which
to destroy this insect, viz: by exclading the
light, and, as far as possible, the air from
the corn. It has been found that large cribs
filled with corn and not broken until the
next summer, were entirely free from wea-
vil, while the cribs that were used from, on
iheSameplantation, and continually exposed
to die air and light were full of them. The
experiment has been tried of chinking and
plastering log cribs, and taking the corn al-
ways from the top, leaving a deep covering
of shucks, and this has been found a preven-
tive. In Mexico, it is well known to ma-
ny Texan travellers, that corn is protected
for years from thi insect by a similar meth-
od. The crop ia housed in a stone house
with hut one opening, which is filled with
rocks and cemented. The destructivenesa
of the weavil in this country, is sometimes
equal to 20 per cent of the crop, and fre-
quently even more. A farmer who raises
1000 bushels gives 300 to the veavils, or an
average valne of from one to two hundred

At a large meeting of the vtsltra c.f Falls
county, on Saturday, the 14th da? of June,
1856, the following proceedings were had,
to wit:—
On motion of Charles Stewart, Esq., Judge
McKenzie was called to the chair, and J. D.
Oltorfif, requested to act as secretary.
Thos. P. Aycock was called upon to make
known the objoct of the assemblAge, which
he proceedi-d to state in brief, and moved
the appointment of a committee to draft reso-
tions expressive of the sense of the meeting ;
whereupon, the Chair appointed Gen. Lane,
Charles A. 8tewart. Thos P. Aycock, Col.
James Long and James Right. Esq. The
said committe retired, and in a few moments
reported the following resolutions :
Resolved, That the people of Falls
county, in common wi'.h their fellow-citizen*
in this quarter of the State, feel the deepest
interest, in the early enactment of the law by
the Legislature, pledging loans of from six
to ten thousand dollars per mile to iegr.lly
authorized corporate companies, snch as may
afford safe guarantees for the judicious em-
ployment of said loans, in the speedy con-
truction of three main trunk lines of rail-
road One to connect the territory between
the Brazos and Trinity rivers as high up as
Red river, with the waters of Galveston bay;
the others to connect the Eastern and VV est-
ern portions of the State with such points on
the same waters, or on the Gulf coast, as may
best suit the interest of the people in those
sections.
Resolved. That we are opposed to em-
barking the Stat, in the practical business
of railroad construction, while the same can
be prosecuted with so much more efficiency
and expedition by means of individual en-
terprise and economy, acting through the
customary forms of corporate associations ;
and, without reference to other more serious
and rad cal considerations, in the present
depressed and condition of the industrial in-
terests of the people, arising from want of
transportation, they regard, as a weighty ob-
jection to the State system, the loss of time,
and delays unavoidably incident to its effi-
cient installation. Deep-rooted convictions
existed in the public mind at the formation
of the Constitution, aud continue to exist at
this day, against involving the State in any
such emeiprize a* banking and railroad ma-
king. and it would only be after a surrender
of au hope of the adoption of other means,
that the people could bo induced to adopt
the State system, under any form in which
it has been presented. Having the power in
their own hands. they do not see that such
alternative need be presented ; and, there-
fore, we, the people of Fallscouuty, as part
of the people of the State, claim of the Legis-
lature the early adoption of the loan policy,
that all doubts may be removed, and effi-
cient progress insured in the speedy con-
struction of the three great lines ol road men-
tioned.
Resolved, That we are willing to tax our-
selves to raise funds for this purpose, and
we further claim of the Legislature the en-
actment of a law by which the people of the
different couuties, in their capacity of county
corporations, may be authorized to subscribe
stocks to the roads which they are directly
iutere-ted, and to levy upon themselves and
property, within their limits, the taxes ne-
cessary to p y snch subscription, securing
to each tax paver an individual property in
the amount of "stock his taxes may suffice to
pay. In this wav internal improvement
taxes would be paid by t ose interested in,
and benefitted by uch improvements ; and
bv labor upon such works, and the sale to
tiaose engaged therein, of materials and pro-
visions. the people thus interested would
find facilities to pay a large amount of tax;
aud subscribe, individually, larger amounts
of stock, with less burthen upon themselves,
than if their Laxea were imposed by the Le-
gislature, to be expended upou works at a
distance from them, in which they would not
be at liberty to take stock individually or
£raph during our absence. We are not eer- „ „ , , , .

tion. Speeches were delivered by Jndge

of the citiseas of this couuty interested
iu extending the Houston Tap Railroad
to Columbia, a meeting.was held at the
Methodist Church, in Columbia, ou the
4th of July, at which were present a
large number of the citizens of Brazo-
ria couuty, together with several of the
eadiuif merchants of Houston. The
meeting was organized by the appoint-
ment of A. Underwood, Esq , as Chair-
man, and E. H. Cushing, as Secretary.
The mcetiug was then addressed by
Hon. H. Cone, who, in a able speech,
set forth the Objects of the meeting, anil
pointed out what was necessary to be
done.
Mr. Lubbock, cf Houston, being
called out by the meeting, in a short
address, .-bowed the advantages thai
would result from the proposed road,
both to this county and to Houston.
Hon. Quy M- Bryan, being next
called upon, observed, that he was not
prepared to speak upou the matter, aud
suggested, in consideration of the fact
that the project could not, from the
short time since it was started, Vie well
understood by the people generally, that
another meeting lie held at- an early
day, giving the people, meanwhile, au
opportunity to talk the matter over.
Coi. Gaines took occasion to give the
meeting a history of the three plans now
be ore the Legislature of the State.
An animated discussion then took
place, which was participated in by
Messrs. Cone, Bryan, Phelps, and
others.
Ou motion of Mr. Cone, a committee
of five were appoiuted to draft Kevolu-
tions to test the sense of the meeting.
The committee consisted of Messrs. 11.
Cone, A. Coffee, E I) Nas!:, W J Bryan
and E H Cushing.
The committee, after a short retire-
ment, reported the following Resolu-
tions, which were unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That the proposed railroad
from Houston to Columbia, will be
greatly for the heuefit of Brazoria coun-
ty, and should be built.
Resolved, That a Mass Meeting of all
the citizens of this county be called, to
be held at Columbia, on Friday, the
IStli day of the present month, and that
the citizeus of Houston, generally inter
ested in this matter, be invited to meet
J . *
with us on that occasion.
Resolved, That the thanks of this
meeting be due to those enterprizing
citizens of Houston who have honored
us with their presence on : his occasion.
Resolved, That thanks are due to
the chairman who has presided over the
deliberations of, and the speakers who
have addressed the meeting to day.
Resolved, That the miuutes of the pro-
ceedings of this meeting be handed to
the editors of the Democrat and Plan-
ter, for publication.
Resolved, That this meeting do now

nesB is being carried on very successfully,
and the Oil is coming into general use.
Edgar Colliding, Esq., one of our enter-
prising citizens, has i ow'in operation a se-
ries of successful experiments, not only in
refereuce to a new and simple mode of ex-
tracting the Oil in its pure state from Cotton
seed, but as regards the application of the
residue of the seed, after the Oil is extracted,
to other important aud useful purposes. The
matter is fraught with importance, and if
Mr. Conkling's theory contained in the fol
lowing communication which we find in the
New Orleans Picayune, be correct, we hope
it will be fully developt.d in this city. We
have the men aud the capital to do it, if it
can be done, beyond a doubt.— Cincinnati

Mr. Colliding says:
"I am satified that the value of cotton seed
fibre; of oil that may be made from the seed
for burning, lubricating and perhaps paint-
ing, and for soaps of the refuse cake for dis-
tilling, feeding cattle aud hogs, manure, and
even for gas, is equal in value annually to
that of the cotton crop. It is a subject I
have given a good deal of attention to. Soap
may be made directly from the -< cd by boil-
ing it in the alkalies; oils may o extracted
in a pure state, with a full vi<-:.i and free of
coloring matter, without the < nstly method
of compression; aud when extracted the seed
may be distilled, as it has the essential pro-
perties, containing 11 percent, of grape su-
gar, thus displacing so much grain of use for
food. The railroad office of tJlis city lights
its office from gas made from cotton seed
cake. The seed itself is richer lor the pur-
pose.
"No one item of residue going to waste in
this country, will compare in utility and
value to cotton seed; and, with a little atten-
tion ou the part of tho--e interested and capa-
ble of appreciating it, the South in a few
years may reap fifty millions anuually of net
receipts from working it up. A recent num-
ber of the "Scientific Aiiierican". says that
when cotton sold for six cents per pound, a
large amount of it was used for making paper.

this purpose, aud can.be secured by the use

and sentiments of this meeting in relation to
his contemplated address.
Galveston, July", 1656.
Lorenzo Sherwood, Esq :
Sir : At a public meeting of the citizens
of Galveston, convened this morning at the
Court House, in consequence of your public
notice, that vou would make an addresb this
evening iu defence of your cours< in the last
Legislature, it was unanimously resolved to
notify you of the well-considered sentiments
aud resolute determination of the citizens of
Galveston, as follows ; That your right in
common with that of every other citizen, to
free opinion, free discussion, and the largest
liberty of self-defence is fully recognized and
will be respected.
But there is one subject connected with
your course in the Legislature, that of slave-
ry, on which neither you, nor any one else
entertaining your views, will be permitted
to appear before this community in a public
manner. That your views on that subject
are unsound aud dangerous, is the fixed be-
lief of this community, caused by your own
speeches, writings and acts.
We are aware, therefore, that either actu-
ally or seemingly, you wholly misrepresent-
ed the real views of the people of Texas, aud
suppose that by explanation and argument
you can make your anti-slavery theories aud
plans inoffensive and acceptable. How far
this sliou? . be attributed to delusion on your
part, ano. < ow far to design, is not material.
The slave- . subject is not one which is open
tb'voubefoir us.
1fou are, therefore, explicitly and peremp-
torily notified, that, in your speech, you will
not be permitted to; touch, iu any manner,
tbe.subject of slavery, or your options there-

The Picayune appends some remarks, aa
follows:
Our readers are already aware that a com-
pany has been established in this city for
the purpose of manufacturing rope and yarn
from the fibres of the bark of the cotton
plant. The terms of the charter of the ruauu-
iatturing company leaves it open to them to
devote their attention to other branches of
manufacture also; and it would appear pecu-
liarly fittine that they should enU r upon such
as may spritig from sources so closely allied to
—nay to a certain extent identical with—that
to which thev have particularly resolved on
attending. We would therefore inviie their
attention to the enormous revenue which it
is alleged upon apparently conclusive
grounds, may be netted from produce of the
cotton plant at present thrown away as re-
luse.
The seed, produces,as Mr. Conkling says,
one of the most valuable oils, both for illnmi- -
nating and lubricadug purposes, ranking iu
both respects equal to sperm oil. Tlie pro-
portion it yields is said to be 30 per cent,
and the 70 per cent, residue is all good oil
cake. The total quaiitity of seed being 2,-
239,800,000 pounds, the oil produced would
amount to 671,940,000 pounds. Estimating
the v alue per pound of thb oil to be not more
than that of the cheapest grease, it would be
worth $d7,l94,000; and valuing the cake at
one half the rate at which other oil cake sells,
that would be worth $7,839,300.
Here, then, estimating things at extrava-
gantly low rates, we have a revenue of $135,-
000,OilO literally being thrown away yearly.
Allow that one-half of it—a preposterously
large proportion—should be swallowed up
ill the course of manufacture, and still there
would be sixty-five millions and a half left
for net profit.
' The manufacturing Company have al-
ready directed their attention to "yet auotber
produ.-t of the cotton plant; as we commenc-
ed by remarking; but it appears that this,
too, is extremely valuable iqr paper making
purposes, as well as for tho6e to which they
appear more particularly intending to direct
it. We would invite their attention, as well
as those of our readers generally, to the sub-
joined remarks from the New York Day
Book, on this point:
Specimens of the bark stripped from cot-
ton stalks have been exhibited to paper mam'
ufacturers at the North, and were, consider-
ed equal to good' rags worth six cents per
pound, or about $12u per ton, and were pro-
nounced the best substitute for rags of ativ
raw material known to the trade.
The magnitude of the paper business may
be conceived when we take into considera-
tion tbat there are 750 paper mills in the
United States, employing 3000 engines, and
which producc annually at 10 cents <jp ft,
$27,000,000 worth of paper. To manufac-
ture this amount of paper requires 405,000,--
000 pounds of rags, 1% pound of rags being
necessary to produce 1 pound of paper. The
value of the rags at the average of 4 cents Z>
S>, amounts to $16,000,000, to which, if the
cost of making them into paper, including
1^ cents to each pound of paper in labor,
with wastage, chemical", etc., be added,
would swell the cost to $23,625,000 to pro-
duce $27,0110,000 of paper, leaving net pro-
gts on the total manufacture of $3,375,000.
>'or the year ending the 30th June, 1655, we
imported 400,003,516 pounds of foreign rags,
from twenty-six different countries. Of this
amount Tuscany, in Italy, supplied 14,000,-
000 pounds. Two Sicilys 6,000,000, Aus-
tria 4,000,000, Egypt 2,446,928, Turkey 2,-
466,928, England 2,591,178. The total val-
ue of.the 40,013,516 pounds imported was
$1,225,150. The manufacture of paper has
outstripped the supply of materials, and rope
cuttings, hemp waste, and other articles
have been resorted to, but the supplies of all
have been insufficient to meet the demand,
and prices have been -teadily .on the ad-
vance. It is posible that the cotton fields of
the South may supply an altm st inex-
haustable supply of hemp, so that hereaf-
ter we shall reach the great desideratum in
modern civilization, au abundant aud cheap
supply of paper.

Utah Territory;was there eight months;
bad an opportunity to observe the;r
conduct towards their children while

havp seen a great deal of bad conduct
otherwise; I knew a brother to be mar-

would come. She became so far advan-

to take carc of that child, while this
other woman would take a yoke of
oxen, go into the woods aud cut. a load
of wood, and perhaps stay all night and
bring it back. Many ot the women do
this sort of labor, barefooted and bare-
headed. I kuew seven of Elder Taylor's
wives, and boarded iu one of his wives'
houses; they have very little employ-
ment for the children, and live very
poorly and wretchedly; they are getting
up' Schools, Oue of Elder Taylor's
daughters went with us when we left.
We took 80 or 90 and could have taken
as many hundreds, if. we could have car-
ried tlicni away. Theyougest wife has
to wait on the others; women do work
fit for men; there are some very good
people; those who wash for the Ge :-
tiles are cut off from the Church; they
call us d—d Gentiles; Brighain him-
self gave ns a geueral invitation to
church one day, the woman there are
most of them very discontented; Brig-
ham's own daugliterin-law tried to leave.
They a- e liable to have their throats cut
il they do, or attempt to; I knew many
of them, and a great many that I knew
were anxious to get away; i have heard
Brigham Young say iu tiie pulpit, that
when the d d Gentiles came into
the country they would go and open
boarding houses; he asked if they knew
What they were; he said if you don't
tell me, 1 will tell you; tlicy are what
I call whore houses, may* be yon don't
know what a whore house is ? it is a
place where they keep women for men;
lie said Taylor was a G—d d—d sou of
a b—h, and he wt6hed he was rotten in
hell: 1 knew a Mr«. Wheelock; she was
married in England; came here with her
