NUTRI TIVE VALUE OF -OAT HAY.
The idea of cutting grain while yet quite
green, and of making il into hay in the same
manner as gr.iss, is not bv any means entirely
novel. Experiments of an imperfect nature
have been made before tha present ones witn
this same end in view. Soiqe of these have
perfectly suceeedech, while others have, if not
unsuccessful, been at' least less striking in their
nccess.
i The first point lo which attention haa been
directed, regarded the proportion of water con
tained in the straw and grain of the ripe and
I unpripe oat respectively; both samples being
1 of the aim) variety art taken from ths same
field. As might have been expecteu. tne green
oats contained most water; this is shown by
the following table:

Ooit cut frten.
58,50 88,86 85,43 34.58
I have tnjien the mean of the varions results
given, aa some, discrepancy appears in the
single determinations. Br this table, aeveral
general conclusions are indicated,
1. That the proportion of water in th un
ripe plant is greatest.
2. That the proportion of the dry straw in
the unripe plant is greatest.
8. That when the plant is dry, the grain
beam a larger proportion In the straw than
would hava been imagined: being, even in the
green plant, more than one-third of -toe
whole weight, and in the dry plant nearly
one-half.
The proportions, or per cenlagsa of protein,
are as follows:

exist, especially surface, alluvial, or deposit
mines, as contradistinguished from vein mines,
slaye labor ean be employed t Hie greatest

sustain themselves ai nome aga.iisi n.-g-
tion thai ihey-were about to extend and increase
Ihe slave power, brought up the Wilmont pro
viso, and affirmed thatthey would acquire me
territory and make it free In the .South, on
the other hand, a. different ground was taken.
Many, under the lead of a distinguished gen
tleman from Soulh Carolina, the late Mr.
Calhoun, contended thai slavery should, under
the constitution go into all of the territory that
mighlb acquired, whilst others insisted at least
that il should be divided between tlie two sec
lions, by some equitable line, as that of 3630'.
Both secl.onsol the country, tncreiore, occur-j
red in tlie acquisitipn of the territory, and our
present difficulties are the result. Now, sir, !
what I woiild parliculaily call the attention of
northern gentlemen lo, is this: If it were pro
posed to annex Canada, we of the South,
knowing that it must necessarily remain free
territory, would either object to iu annexation,
or if we assented, must have first made our
minds op to admit it as a free State, or States.
If, oiuhe other hand, then, aline of slave
States should come into existence across the
continent, and a proposition were made to an
nex anvivartof Mexico, nof'hem gentlemen
teeing "that it would necessarily become slave
territory would resist the annexation or assent
to it widi a full understanding that it would be
come slave territory . It would thus result, that
since 2 thirds of the voles of the Senators are tie
cessarr to the ratification of a treaty, no torcigti
territory could be admitted without the consent
of boih sections of the Confederacy. Such a
rendition of ihiiurs woulc1 either prevent the
acquisition of foreign territory entirely, or in-
.tt its rmmtn? m noon enen terms-

sive movements' on tlie part 'of ihe abolitionists

nent degree, to the permanent quiet ol the
country. ...
It may be objected, however, that curtailing
the boundaries of California would excude
her pset inemhert elect from being admitted
lo seats on this floor. 1 cannot aee that any
nch effect would result from ray amendment.
All that hat hitherto, been done in California.
Iiecause without the authority ol ionsiiuiiion

if we have nowes to assent-to what- they
have proposed as a whole, 1 ronfess I cannot
see why we may not do it with a qualification
or limitation. Congress has complete juris
diction over the whole of this territory, and
may give to the new Stale of California either
the territory wnicn sne claims or .ce umu.
And if, on the other hana, tauiornia or re
garded as a State already, existing, then the
mi"ht surrender a portion of her territory and
population without affecting her sovereignty,
or changing her identity. The Slate of Maine
did the same thing bum few yeara aince; in
