The new method Of raising fruit trees BY
planting the scions, is great desideratum in
the art OF obtaining good fruit. Ii has many
advantages over grating, because il is more
expeditions, and requires no stock nor tree.
They may BE- planted where they are re-
qured:to stand. and the labor for one day will
be sufficient plapt ous enough for large

method of preparing the plants as follows:
Take the scion as for grating. and al any

exercised to their fullest extent in oppo.
sition to any course Of policy which the
Wings might see fit to pursue. it wa:
the intention Of the undersigned to sus.
tain him to the extent Of their ability and
influence. Not SO, however, deemed pro-
per Mr.. Henniss. Superior to the trouble
Of informing himself of the purpose o.
the undersigned, the columns Of this sur
reptitious "Whig organ" have teemed
with abuse and calumny of the Wing
members of the Legislature. With i'm
+pudent imbecility, this pitiful tool of de-
signing Democrats, charges the under
signed with treachery. Trcachery to
whom? Not to the Wing party, for un-
der existing arrangements, one half OF
the printing Of the session. more than
the most sanguine Of their friends expec-
ted they could secure, is placed under
the disposal Of Wings. Certainly-not to
Rice, Oimstead and Robertson, for to
them they never owed allegiance.
Not content with the prostitution OF
the Chronicle and Register, this "cxpe-
perienccd and accomplished Wing edi-
tor" publishes an anonymous, vile and
scurrilous sheet, the avowed object OF
which is to bring into contempt the
Federal officers Of the Territory, and
the Wing members of the Legislature.
eeven threatens, obscure and insignifi-
cant as he is, 10 procure the removal in
less than two months Of tho Executive
Of the Territory, a man honored and re-
spected by the Wings of the United
States, and especially cherished and
esteemed by the people of Minnesota.
Other Federal officers, who do not dance
to his music, arc menaced with ostracism
through his puissant influence.
In conclusion, the undersigned reiter-
ate that while they regret that circum-
stances have rendered necessary this
extended statement, the course they
peemed proper to pursue in tho disposal
of the patronage incident to the public
printing receives the unqualified appro-
baton of their own consciences, as well
as the approval of the great body Of the
Wings of the Territory, and they cheer
fully submit their action to the verdict of
their constituents.
