r-a-I lhe ConsliLutionaI ConvenlIon on Tuesda

E5FIn the Constitutional Convention on Tuesday,
the report Of the Committee on the subject Of subsi
tuuing the plurality expedient for the majority prn
ciple in elections, was discussed and laid the
table. We trust the Convention will not con-
sent to establish the plurality system, and IN this
way ahrogae one of the Fundamental! principles OF
pure Democracy. Republics derive their force aud
stability from the principle thai the ''majory gov
erns." plurality government may be the govern
meut Of mere fraction of the State. Such gov
eminent cannot obtain the respect Of the people,
Statutes enacted by such accidental power cannot
possess the authority Of laws which are passed and
sustained by the majority, truly representing the SOW
eighty of the people. In order that governments
shall be stable, powerful, and respecied, they must
be based upon principle, and not upon mere expedi-
ency. Enlightened lreemen must be conscious that
immutable, essential sovereignty exists in the
State before they can yield i, loyal allegiance Such
a sovereignty does exist when an accident, and
principle, determines whaRhall dictate laws,
ard who shall execute them.
We trust that no considerations of what is called
''couvenlence' will incline the Convention give
ear to proposition reactionary and oligarchica
this is. We hope The people Of Massachusetts
will never be willing to accede to such PROPOSE
ton.

u The Green Bay Advocate laughs in its sleeve
at the idea Of the little villages and towns in the in.
terror getting charters and calling themselves cities
On which the Racine Advocate remarks: "Why,
man, what is the use of exhibiting so much 'fogy-
ism!' Is not the age progressive one? Are there
any girls or boys in your village? There are none
here. We have not girl these five years.
There are a few babies ofborh genders about town.
These go naked to little above their knees-but
as soon as they find ii out, the girls put On long
clothes, and are ladies; and the boys take cigar
in their mouth, and swear profanely-unhang gates
and upset boxes o'nights, and are gentlemen. What
is the reason that older boys keep up with the
times, and make cities? Surprising the business
streets are blocked up with stumps, and the 'slews'
are unbridged-that is sign there is not a city in
that neIghborhood.''

SALT FOR OUNCE TREEs.-The ounce tree
seems to have a constitutional fondness for salt.
We have never seen, says the Horticulturst, such
ageneral luxuriance Of the trees, as at Newport
X. l., on the sea-coast. A gentleman who noticed
this fact several years ago, told us lately that he
had profted by the sight, in giving to each of his
trees, top-dressing of two quarts Of coarse salt
every spring BY scattering the salt over the sur
yer to the roots, but maks both foliage and fruit
much more healthy.
