/" Plant aTree."

The season for transplanting trees for the
ornament OF gardens and residences, and for
the purpose ofprodncing the different varieties
of fruit adapted TO our climate and soil, being
at hand, our citizens who are so fortunate as
to possess lot or garden, will no doubt do
themselves and posterty the favor Of "plant-
ing tree" The following observations of
the Democratic Advocate will do for this la,i-
tude 3
PLANTING TREEs.-The season has come for
transplanting trees and shrubbery, and we hope
our readers are all alive to The importance of
this work. While strolling through our beau
tiful village the other day. and seeing but few
trees in front of residences, we thought it would
be well TO give hint on the important subject
Of transPlanting trees. Every person who
OWNS an acre Of land, OF even house lot, can
add much to its value by placing npon it trees
and shrubbery, either for fruit or ornament. II
instead OF owning, you only hold possession by
tenure you cannot do yourself or the community
a better service than to adorn the place Of your
dwelling with trees. Even the most common
trees of the forest are better than none. Place
them about your dwellings-there is pleasure
in their associations, their opening leaves, their
spreading b0ughs, their grateful shade will
shield you from the heat of noon, while the
melody Of birds who carol amid their branches
will cheer you in the hour of toll. Let every
man, woman and child plant tree.

Coz. BENTON ON NEBRASKA Although
Col. Benton opposes the Nebraska bill he has
no fears that slavery will ever be fastened up
on that country. The Pennsylvania says:
"One of the grounds of his opposition to
the Nebraska bill is based upon an argument,
which, if true, takes away from the appeals Of
the northern opponents of that measure the
only consideration that gives to them any
point or weight, for his testimony goes to con-
9:rm that of nearly every other man familiar
with the subject, in declaring that Nebraska
can never become slave state" He says
I" How can the slave states profit by this
bill1 BY the extension Of the slave power !
That may prove a fallacious expectation
Throw open the question of slavery by the re-
peal Of the compromises, and it will prove a
question of numbers. And where then will
be the chance of the Shareholders! The
slaveholding emigrants will be established
They will gain nothing but an unequal con-
test, and they will lose the slaves they may
take to the new territory"

the Rev. Mr.. Jacques, the supposed writer Of

The MISSING STEAMSHIP CRY OF GLASGOW

HE NlSSlNO EAMonIF OlI1 VI 6LASOOWs
The Philadelphia Ledger Of the 25th says:
The public anxiety with regard to this long
looked-for steamship has become most intense,
and it is feared that like the catastrophe of The
President, no tidings will ever be heard from
her, or the hundreds that embarked upon her.
Among other cases, is that widow and a
large family Of girls, living in the city, who
have brother and son on board, whom they
are expecting with the greatest anxiety, as he
was to supply the place Of his deceased father,
as protector in strange land. If calamity
has befallen him, they will be truly desoate.
The GLAsGow.-Steamer Merlin, which
arrived at N. York on Friday, left St. Thomas

reports that there were no tidings at either
place Of the missing steamer.

ing impossible, rather than suffer such mo-
mentous event TO pass by disregarded, the

The meeting Of the Colonization Society
in Washington on Friday evening, April 9lst,
was we'll attended. Judge Wayne presided.
The following resolutions were adopted =
Resolved, That in the view of this meeting,
the American COLONIZATION Society merits the
generous support of all the good people Of
these United States; and that the establish
ment Of the republic of Liberia, secures pros
pectively immense benefits to this country and
to the African race.
RESOLVED, That the establishment Of regular
communication by steam or otherwise, under
the direction of the American Colonization
Society, between this country and Liberia, is
an object Of immediate and vast Importance,
worthy of the prompt, united, and liberal aid
of all its friends.
RESOLVED, That while this meeting would
regard it as eminently wise and judicious for
congress and this state legislature to make ap-
preparations in aid Of this object, its most con-
ident reliance for success at present, is on the
benevolence of the country and animated by
many recent instances of noble munifcence by
individuals, and by the recollection of what
was done in few months by our countrymen
for the relief of Ireland, we appeal to the peo-
pie of the United States, at period of well
nigh unexamPied prosperity, vigorously to
unite their exertions and raise one hundred
thousand dollars or more, for the accomplish
ment Of this great work Of humanity.
The following resolution was adopted on
motion Of the Rev. R. R. Gurley g.
ResolUed, That it be respectfully suggested
to the officers of wealthy churches in our cities
and large towns, to invite contribution from
each, Of one thousand dollars, towards the en-
terprise, (by which their pastors, or others
