MEssRs. EplroRs:
As the season for gathering and hous.
ing corn is at hand, permit one expert
enced in the culture and keeping of that
article of food, 50 necessary for the sup
port of both man and beast, to suggest
his mode of preserving it from The depre.
dations of weevil.
For the last six or eight years, he has
been in practice Of sailing his corn, as il
is thrown into the crib from the field
10 every Wagon load he has applied d.
bout one quart Of fine salt, well sprink.
led over the load after it is thrown into
the crib, when another load is thrown in,
another quart is applied in the same
manner, and this is repeated during the
process of hauling and housing. The
expense is trifling, the labor of doing il
small, and the time consumed not more
than a minute or so for each load. The
salt, say half a bushcl at time, is
thrown into tub or some vessel sufli.
clcntly light to hold it, this vessel is pla-
ced IN one corner of the crib, from
which the quantity for each load can con
venlently be taken as wanted, and sprin-
klcdcr scattered over the corn. His di-
rcction TO the hand, whose business il is
10 scatter the salt, is, Sprinkle il evenly
over every part and salt it wells
The idea of sailing corn to prevent
the dcpredations OF weevil, was taken
some six or eight years Of ago, by the
virtueof this article, from some arricul-
tural work, the title Of which Is not
now recollected; he has since adopted
the practice annually, and from three ex-
pcriments, he is convinced that The plan
is excellent, and entirely prevents injury
by that destructive insect, except to some
OF the outside ears IN the house or crib.
that may be a little eaten.
Added TO this advantage may be men.
toned, that Of preserving the shuck 81
husk sweet and sound, which will be
more readily eaten by mules and horned
cattle, and is, no doubt, by this process,
rendered more nutrcious and happy.

heart,--tag, rag, md bobtail, all, all we're
present, and ready with open mouths TO
drink in the instructions, and political IN
formation that the fditlfm might dcign
to give them. Accordingly a chairman
and secretary were appointed, and Col.
Boyd, the great democratic champion of
Attain, offered preamble and resciu-
tons, the exact tenor Of which, although
present Mt the time, we did not gather
Their general character, however, was
similar 10 oil resolutions concocted for
similar occasions. We learned from them
that "a great and important crisis had
arrived"--that we must go back "to the
free republican doctrines Of 1913 and 100,
that for this purpose the state rights
men must unite with the democrats-and
that for the furtherancc of the plans and
projects Of the Democratic and State
Rights party, delegates should be sent 10
the glorious eigth of January convention
at Jackson. Then came the speech; the
burthen Of which was not in support of
the resolutions,-but unmeasured abuse
of our representatives, Messrs. Prentiss
and Word After the Colonel had finish
ed, and taken his scat amidst profound
silence, another gentleman, and citizen
Of Alfalfa, made q few remarks in oppo.
sltion to the resolutions, and in defence
of our Representatives, who had been
thus, without a cause, wantonly assailed.
Then il was observed that the faces of
the Van Buren, men present, became per-
oeptibly elongated. The cheering and
applause Of the State Rights men, also
convinced them that they had counted
without their hostn--and that the indie
pendent nuli,fers could not be so easily
cajoled as was at first imagined. Doubt
less the ghosts of the Proclamation, Pro-
test, Force Bill, and Expunging Resolu-
tons, rose up before their eyes and cxhib.I
tied the inconsistency and impossibility
of the proposed union. In the midst OF
this dilemma, Judge Nicholson oppor-
timely entered, the Court was called, and
the meeting adjourned till the next day.
Thus ended this great attemp, to whcedle
the State Rights party into union with
the supporters Of Van Barren. Nothing
was afterwards heard Of the meeting.-
The attempt was found to be fruitless
and given up in despair.
We give the above details, as one a.
mong many other utterly rain attempts
Of the Van Buren, party TO urge the
State Rights men into their ranks. The
thing is an absolute impossibiiitg, and can
only bring ridiculc and contempt upon
the heads of those who are most active
in efectng the wished-ior object.
