CONVENTION To REMODEL THE CoHsTI.
TUTIoN.-We extract the following views
from the Houston Patriot, and commend
them to the perusal of our readers -
"Our own opinions arc already formed as
TO the pruprieiy Of the measure. Nor shall
we hesitate TO express those opinions on
all proper occasions. Not with the view
Of thereby changing the opinions Of other
voters; but because we consider each voter
in community is entitled to the views Of
his fellow-vOier 10 aid him in Turning his
own opinions. Whilst the Legislature was
maturing the law in question we determin-
cd to vote for the contemplated conyen-
ton. Il is yet our determination TO do so.
How many others will do likewise is not for
US TO know. Reasons, sufficiently fOrci-
bic TO lead US to that conclusion have nlrea-
DIV presented themselves TO our judgment.
From rhe signs of the lines however--irom
the indications of The Press Of the state we
have but lille doubt that the convention
will he defeated.
The Southern portion Of the State is too
fearful Of the potency Of North Mississippi
to he willing 10 meet them in open conven-
lion with powers 10 remodel our Organic
law. The soulh,. even under our present
organization is partially shorn Of her over
ruling powers; but fears are entertained in
hat quarter, thrift a convention be called
some Of their present advantages will be
.orn from them by the mighty populous
strength Of the middle aud northern portion
lf the state. 4ah.r .....r
But our reasons for fayoring the eoavcn-
ion are not founded in Biographies divis-
ons Of the State. Nor can we now give
hose reasons at length. Suffice, it 10 say
II present. that one of lhe most potent OF
hem is found in the errors and evils con.
lecled with our Judiciary system.

Summer Pruning Of Hardy Grapes.

The Albany Culuvator says "There are two
leading principles 10 be adopted in the summer
pruning Of the grape vine: |. Fruit cannot
grow and ripen without the leaves. 2. Shoots
and leaves cannot become fully developed in
growth, if so thick as to form dense mass
Summer pruning Of hardy grapes usually con-
sists in cutting or pinching off every shoot, when
the grapes are about the size Of peas, about
5 joints above the upper bunch. The object is,
10 prevent The vigor ofIhe vine all operating in
the formation Of leaves and wood, and 10 throw
in into the lruit;' US we'll as TO expose the bunch
es 10 the action Of the sun. Nov the growth
and ripening Of fruit is wholly dependent on
the leaves; and the greater the amount ofleaves,
provided they are not crowded, and are fully
exposed to the light Of the sun, the more perfect
will be the fruit. For This reason it will be bet.
ter to reduce the number Of shoots, either by
leaving but few buds at the winter pruning, or
by removing internally all superabundant shoots
as early in the season as practicable, and to O.
mi, stopping or shortening the shoots ill the
fru. is nearly of full size, or about the end ol
summer, and then only at the extremity of the
shoot, leaving all the we'll formed foliage. A
very erroneous opinion prevails, that the ripen'
ing Of the fruit is hastened by its full exposure
to the sun. Experience has amply demonsIrat
ed that fully developed and abundant foliage
itself we'll exposed TO Ihs light and air, is the
sole influence in the successful growth and ma
Iurily Of the fruit.

Farm Work For July.

This is busy month with the farmer. It's
now that he is called to the harvest field, where
he will have his attention and energies constant
" occupied aud engrossed until the crops have
been secured.
There are but few operations connected with
the management of farm which are more
laborious, perhaps, than harvesting; ye, very
few Young men shrink from it. Il is consider
ed preuy work, and TO one who understands
the use Of The cradle and the sickle, not without
reason.
But there are thousands who pretend to be
expert workmen, who know comparatively
nothing Of the theory or practice. To get over

deavor to do; often leaving as much grain un.

CHARCOAL AND PEAT, OR These two
substances are similar in their effects. They

before they had burned coal pits, or even log
heapsl Peat or muck, which is to be had on
almos, every farm, partakes Of the same quail

the Iarmer can use in his yard and stables, to
absorb and retain The urine, and TO prevent the

lf you contemplate sowing English turniPs, the
BUSINESS should be attended TO by the tenth or

open till the first of February, commencing on
New Years day Il 40. Our wholesale stock COM
prlsng ole OF the most extensive and varied as
sortmenIs OF Fancy and Staple Dry Goods ever
exhibited in the western country, will be offered
at lower prices than ever before known. Every
article however choice and desirable, will be ac-
cordingly reduced. Upwards Of fifty thousand
dollars Of our stock has been recently purchased,
the greater portion OF which are foreign goods re-
ceived at New York by late European arrivals,
which from the lateness of the season as well as
the known pressure in the money market, were
sold at immense sacrifices at public sales, at rate
varying from twenty five to fifty per cent less
than sin liar goods bought at the frs. of the sea-
son. We are therefore confident that our prices
for the time above mentioned will be found to be
even lower than any Eastern wholesale rates.
We anxously invite all persons to visit our es-
tablishment, whether they purchase or not and
test the truth Of the above assuring them that
they will incur no obligation thereby, but confer
favor on the propretors. Our assortment o.
Silks Shawls and fine dress goods will amply re-
pay one for visit; added to which, an unusually
