AGRICULTURAL.
SALT IN AGRICULTURE.

We copy the following from the Rev.
Mr.. Morril Aliens report on improve
ments, 10 the Plymouth Agriculture al So.
ciety:-
A carefully conducted experimenthas
been made by Horace Callamore, of
Pembroke, in the application of salt the
result is adverse TO the use Of the article
as a fertilizer. In an experiment, several
years ago, by Mi. Aiden'of Bridge water,
the results we're something more favor
able, but there was not enough eficien-
CIV manifested in that instance to justify
anything like a general use of salt as a
manure. From observation we think il
highly beneficial, and a very enduring
fertilizer on some soils, and on some thai
il produces no visible effect. Trials on
a small scale will best serve to show
where it can be used with profit. In the
orchard and nursery, in can always be
used with benefit, as a preventative O
insects, care being taken not to have i
come in contact with tender trees, as i
would kill them much quicker than in.
sects. In the culture Of plants of marine
origin, salt may be pretty freely used
and with great benefit. The appIican
for the premium appears to have com
piled with all the conditions of offer anC
therefore ought to receive it,though little
or no benefit accrue to the public. tt
Mr.. Callamore is awarded ten dollars.

G"
Fling out oh, fling, that banner outl
And let it kiss the breeze,
Its folds must sweep Ger all the land,
Encompass all the seas
Till all, beneath its standard proud,
With loved devotion bow,
And firmly swear fore'er to keep
Our fondly cherished VOW.
Fling out OBJ, fling, that banner out
It's march must onward be,
Until it reach the farthest cline,
And set the drunkard free.
Twill fash with glorious light Affair."
No meteor ray is there
It's heavenly rays shall soon dispel
All sorrow, gloom, and care.
Fling out /! oh fling, that banner out
That flag must ne'er be furled;
It's destiny is not fulfilled,
Until it sweeps the world;
Until each poor degraded one,
Who erst has kissed the rod,
Shall burst the pinions, binding fast,
And worship only God. MoDEsT1A.

THE CONVENTION.

On Monday, the Convention was chiefly occu-
pied with motion to increase the compensation
of the Reporter on account of the night sessions.
The debate took a wide range, and there was a
brisk skirnish between Messrs. Wise and Lyons,
on the absorbing issue of the Basis. At the even
ing sitting, Messrs. Bolts and Scott, of the Rich
mond district, had some rough passages, which
ended, however, in explanations. 1t was finally
agreed to pay the reporter ss5 column, irrespec-

he was pledged and under which pledge ne received the
vote of The District He begged them 10 suspend any
further action until he had defined his position by

Subsequently, Mr.. Taylor issued carl through
the "Distrct Whig," begging his constituents to
suspend their opinions until he should have ex-
planned his position in the Convention. Still more
recently, he published the following in the Norfolk
Argus:

in the House OF Delegates, not satisfactory to me,

anxious desire to compromise the difficulty between the
East and West upon terms mutually satisfactory to
both. TAZEWELL TAYLOR.
Norfolk, April 30, 1851.
The "Distrct Wing" expresses its satisfaction
with this explanation, but we confess our nablli-
ty to perceive how adherence to the mixed basis
is any compensation for surf rendering the majority
which the mixed basis would give. If, by virtue
of that basis, the East retain majority of one, the
advocates of the white basis will be nc more con-
tent than with the full mixed basis majority. How
far Mr.. Taylor proposes s'to reduce the majority,
we cannot say, but any reduction at all san aban-
donment of the principle which he claims TIC
maintain as decidedly as any of his colleagues.

PHILOSOPHY OF BRANDRETH,s vEGE.

PHILOSOPHY OF RANDRETH'S VEGE-
TABLE PILLS.-When the tseory OF the crcula-
ton of the blood was established the secret springs of
vitality were then partially exposed to our view. We
saw and understood that the food we eat was con-
verted into blood which repaired the o. the ami
nal machine; the food is fuel, which keeps at lie
heat the internal fires that warm and invigorate the
inner man. The blood is an electric fluid which car
res this heat to every ramcaton OF the body to
the extremes OF the hair and horny nail While the
blood is thus the OF life. it is also the seat OF dis
ease. Food gives the body strength; Brandreths Pills
give blood the necessary power to throw ont from itself
all impurities thus rendering the of lie pure and
healthy. II men were moro sincere, there would
be fewer religious creeds; and if they kept closer
natures laws in the management OF their bodies they
would require little medicine. AS men grow more in
eligent they will become wiser and happier even now
their isdom is proved by the fact that when sickness
assals them, they Brandreths Vegetable Universal

They are peculiarly adapted TO this climate, and re-
quire no when they used, either in diet
