whig Meeting TO-moTrolg.

We inserted last week, and alsoin to-day's
paper call for public WING MEETING,
to be held in this place TOMORROW, which
we hope win be well attended. This meet
was called with the concurrence of most Of
the influential wings in and around Benton,
and we hope our friends throughout the
county viii see the necessity Of q prompt
attendance, as the object Of the meeting is
of great importance. A State Convention to
nominate candidates for our next General
Election is to be held at Jackson in February
next, and it is Of manifest importance that
the opinions and sentiments of the Wings
of each county should there be fairly repre-
scented. For Governor, Judge Shattock and
Judge Guion seem to be chiefly spoken Of,
and it is probable the Convention win called
upon to decide between the two. Candi-
dates for Congress, Secretary of State, Trea-
surer, Auditor and Attorney General are also
to be selected.
A meeting for this purpose was said to
have been held at Benton some weeks ago,
but for the want of any general notice very
few4if any Of the Wings out Of Benton at
tended. Many of the wings 81 that place
did not know Of 10, and we are told that
neither the Chairman or Secretary were pre-
sent. Those gentlemen. and many Of the
persons appointed as delegates by the Benz
ton meeting, have we believe, been chiefly
instrumental in calling the meeting to-mor.
row. We hope that there viii bea general
attendance. that the subject may be freely
and fairly inv stigated ID or that the views
Of the wings this county may be repre-
scented in the Convention.

NE Cove o. nIeesaee.


We insert in to-dag paper portion d
this logical document, and regret that we
are unable to lay the whole Of it before our
readers at this time. but we did not receive
it until Monday last, and having no assis-
lance in the Office, il was impossible for us
TO put it in type by ouTseif in time.
It will be seen from the portion Of the
Message which we have inserted, that the
Governor. although opposed TO the issuance
of post notes by the banks, is strongly in
favor of law being passed authorising the
STATE AUDITOR to issue POST NOTES, payable
one, two, three and four years after date.
Oh, consistency. thou art jewel. The gov.
ernor is also very solicitous that . law should
be passed reducing the salaries Of all thu
officers elective by the people, as he is vel
aware that such law would not effect han
in relation to salary. The Governor has ais
found out, at this late period, that it is un
constitutional for the Legislature to assembl,
every year, without a special call from him
it is very strange that our learned governo
did not make this important discovery before
Governor, "you can't come it'' at this lat,
hour of your administration.
The balance of the Message is relative /,
banks and banking, and is only repition 0
his former messages.

LIME IN PLANTING TREEs.-An English pa
per says that large plantations Of trees within
the las, few years has been formed without
the loss of d single tree, and this has been
achieved by simple process; it is merely
putting a small quantity of lime in the hole
with the plant. About four bushels of lime
will suffice for an acre. Ii must be thoroughly
mixed and incorporated with the mould be-
fore the plant is inserted. The effect of lime
is to push on the growth Of the plant in the
first p1ecarious state; new fbres begin TO form
and ramiy from the ,aproot, and not only
is the safety insured bni its growth is advan-
ced in double ratio. There existed, at first,
an apprehension ,ha, lining the plant would
force 1t on prema turely, but this apprehension
is proved to have been groundless.

A PICTURE.


The farmer sat in his easy chair,
Smoking his pipe Of clay.
While his hale old wife with busy care,
Was clearing the dinner away.
4 sweet little girl, with fine blue eyes,
On her grand pas knee was catching flies.
The old man placed his hand on her head,
With tear on his wrinkled face,
He thought how often her mother dead
Had sat in the same, same place.
As the tear stole down from his half-shut eye,
"Don't smoke" said she, how it makes you cry
The house dog stretched out on the floor,
Where the sun afternoon used to steal,
The busy old wife by the open door,
Was turning the spinning-wheel-
And the old brass clock on the mante-tree
Had plolJed along to almost tree
Still the farmer sat in his easy chair,
While close to his hcaving breast,
The mois,ened brow and the head so fair,
OF his sweet grand child were prest;
His head, bent down, on her soft hair lay
Fast asleep were they both on that summer-day
