THE SMALL NOTE LAw-SUPPLY OF SPE-
~, 00S ><>-<>>"~~~~~o~~~~-~~|
BY RITCHIES & PRYOR.

The tIh'g is laboring very industrously to fulfil its
prediction of the nuity of the Small Note Law, and
to this end soeks TO disturb the community with tho
apprehension Of deficiency of specie for the pupo-
ses OF trade Our neighbor Inns always professed a
great repunance to the doctrine Of nullihcaton and
has lashed the abolitiosts with savage fcrocty for
resisting the execution of the Fugitive Slave Law.
In our Judgment it is infinitely to nullify State
than Federal enactment, and do not understand
with what consistency the Hhie denouncc the
Boston rotors while it attempts discrcdi, the law
against shinplasters.
The absurdity Of tho allegation TINT the operations
Of trade will be embarrassed by want Of change in
consequence of tho suppression of shinplaster has
been demonstrated more than once in this paper, by
tho double test Of argument and experiment What
we propose now is simply to relieve the community of
any apprehension of the contingency which the Mig
so an1ously anticipates.
4 paragraph in recent issue Of tho Penny Post
gives information that the Banks of this city hive
taken ample precauon against nny deficiency in the
supply of change, by providing unusual Of
specie. The Petersburg Express gives the same IA.
surance i'll regard TO the Banks of that city. Indeed,
we happy to learn that the Banks throughout the
State mean TO facitnte much possible the exccu
tion of the law against small notes.
We announced Il few days since that the Collector
at this port had made application to the Secretary Of
the Treasury for supply Of spocie sufficient to meet
the wants of the community. Besides being gen.
toman Of ohlising disposition, Mr.. Guthrie is disc-
pie Of the Hard-Moncy school, and accordingly he
sent the following satisfactory response to the request
of Mr.. Lynch:
"TREASrRY DEPARTMENT,
May 25, 1851.
'Sir:-l am disposed to send you sufficient
amount of silver and small gold coins to meet your
contemplated erigencies for change the lst proS-
mo. Will you please inform me by return of mail if
you have q place OF security for : 100000?
aml, very respectfully,
Secretary Of tie Treasury.
JoHs LYNCH, Esq, Collector, Richmond, Va"
TO this the Collector replied, that he had no
place Of security for no large sum IA $4,000 dollars
but would at once receive $4,000 in silver change,
and $4,000 in small gold coin and would apply for
more when these amounts were exhausted. We may
observe here that it is fortunate for the execution Of
the statute against shinpasters, that Democratic
Secretary administers the finances. Whig officials
poses of private speculation, but they would unqucs-
tionably refuse to employ it in facilitating the exccil-
ton Of law against their fsvo,ite shnplaSter
roncy.
In conclusion, wo beg the community to dismiss all
apprehension Of want Of specie and we invoke the
cooperation of every well-dsposed citizen in the en-.
dcavor to maintain tho supremacy OF the laws.

LYNCH LAW ~ ARK NsAs.

A disgraceful act, similar to the one at
Denton, Nd, occurred at Benton, Ark, a
few daysago. Itarpears that slave named
Toll, accused of the murder Of a man named
Thomas Douglass, was in Jail there waiting
his trial, but gang Of 100 or 100 lawless
-men, not willing to await the due process Of
law, attacked the prison, oyerpowered the
Sheriff, seized the prisoner, and hung him
on the spot. Thus, by single act, 100 or
$50 persons have made themselves delibe-
rate and premoditateo murderers, and as such
should, il the authorities do their duty, be
arrested and tried for their lives.

WINTER GARDENING.

There are few g,lden rules to be observed
during winter. Of which may be enumerated
the following:
"Water all plants that require it ia tue
morning, leave no water in the saucer Of any
plant after tie Whole has become saturated
through; never water by drips, bat give the
whole good soaking, or the consequence q.
ten is that the top Of the mould is wetted
while the lover. containing the roots, i dust ,
sponge over the foliage as often asit becomes
dusty; take poioted stick and once 10 q
while stir the surface Of the sod, but not deep
enough to disturb The roots; this acts the
same par. as hoeing in summer, and tends
vastly 70 promote the growth Of tie plants.
Give each plant space enough for air to cir
calatc around it If postible let it have the
benefit Of a little pure air at tines
