certain events, we believe National Convention may be-
come altogether indispensable and although disagree
as to the time and the order OF calling it. still think
that Gov Floyd has acted in rational and discreet man

message We shall take occasion, in paper to
advert 10 these comments and criticisms his message
and 10 show that however we may differ in opinion v.
regard his suggestions above the reach OF all the GEN.
sures that have been so freely bestowed upon them
The motives Of Gov. Floyd we know pure. aud hs

We have hitherto only alluded to this important docu-
ment but contains several points Of great public interest
that demand an attentive consideration.
The Secretary has confirmed his reputation as an advo
cate and speech but when he was placed over the
Treasury Department he had scarcely won the character
Of business man or fnsncier We suspect that his
first report will not materially establish his claim to
any Of those qualities which should distinguish the head
OF the Treasury Department Mr. Corwin seems TO have
been rather unfortunate in selecting his model from
among his predecessors He appears to have followed in
the footsteps Of Mr. Meredith, who, with his strong
mind and great legal Abilities lost reputation than
be gained during the time that he in Gen. Taylors
cabinet The reports of Mr.. Meredith and Mr. Corwin
coincide in one point they both recommend return to
the principles OF proectionboth indicate profuse exrav
agance OF expenditure-both endeavor TO conceal that
extravaganza by magnifyng the expenditures which have
been occasioned by the Mexican warand both appeal to
the heavy demands the government, and the necessity
OF increasing the means Of the treasury in order TO justify
an abandonment OF the principle, and the adop
ton Of an antagonistc principle in levying duties

observer, that the forests OF the State are rapidly
diminishing and that wood every year is scarcer
and dearer Considering the value and necessity
Of woodlands to future generations farmer can
not do better servce to his p0sterlty and 70 the
State than to perpetuate the torests. 10 accom-
plish this object the woods now standing must be
carefully guarded and cut with caution. Only
the Oldest trees should be selected leaving the
others to improve by standing. The high price OF
wood leads our farmers often to cut of all the TIM

one thing hitherto neglected by our farmers, 10
which we wish to call their attention, and that 10,
