AFTERNOON SESSION.

On motion of Mr.. Burroughs, of New
York, the President was excused until
o'clock in the evening, in order that he might
be present at the committee meeting.
Governor Bingham, of Michigan, took the
chair.
Mr.. Sackett, of New York, called up the
resolution for committee, consisting of )
from each State, to present plan for Ma
tional organization.
The Ohio delegation reported that they
had chosen VIM. Dennison for member
of the committee on the address.
The committee on a plan of organization
then reported.
Charles Remelin, of Cincinnati, was called
on for speech. He said the people should
rebuke the insolence of an accidental Presi-
dent. The President should not make the
politics of the country. He (Remelin) re-
commended that the patronage of the Fede-
raj Government should be taken away
Northern men had erred in permitting the
South to call us sectional party and that
we have but one idea. That idea should be
a party that knows no North, no South, no
East, no West, but Freedom everywhere
He hoped the Democrats would have no van
tage ground in professions for popular sover-
eighty. The Republicans were the same
friends of Popular Sovereignty. He COM
pared President Pierce's idea of popular SOW
ereignty to that Of Napoleon's-who, after
being elected, abolished it. Who, he said,
ever heard of popular sovereignty abolishing
itselfl He concluded by hoping the meeting
would adopt measures to insure Freedom in
Kansas.
The committee on business was announced
when cries were made for Wilmot, Passmore
Williamson Chandler ond others
Passmore Williamson was introduced. He
appeared to be greatly embarrassed, return
ed thanks, and begged to be permitted to- re-
tire.
A lively sally then occurred between Mr..
Chandler of Michigan, and some Of the Ohio
members.
Mr.. Chandler alluded to remark made
in the morning that two of the Ohio delega-
ton in Congress lacked stiffness in the back.
and that plaster had to be applied so that
they could vote for Banks for Speaker. He
offered to spare some Michigan backbone to
some of his Ohio friends who stood in need
of it.
Cries of "Wilmot, Wilmot, Wilmot."
Mr.. Chandler-I am not done yet.
A voice from Ohio-Then don't abuse the
Ohio delegation.
Mr.. Chandler-I don't abuse them. only
take the assertion of others. If it is not
true, take it back.
Mr.. Spaulding, of Ohio, then spoke at con-
siderable length. He said, although he was
an impulsive man himself, he approved of
the words of Mr.. Greeley this morning. Let
us be careful and cautious how we address
the voters, if we wish the people to act with
us. We shall, with prudence, carry the cleo
ton like an avalanche. He said he held ul-
ira views on the subject of S:ayery, but
would not enforce them on others. Let us
combine all the INSTRUMENTATION forces,
and drive out the Vandals from the Capitol
of the country. Let not Abolitionism or
Freesoilism dissent from the resolutions to

NEW IORh, Fcofuafp 20.
The Post of this evening has the following
dispatch from Washington
Mr.. Marcy's final dispatch to Mr.. Buchan-
an, of December 2Sth, is contained in the
documents sent to the Senate this morning.
1t demands explicitly Of the British Govern
ment the recall of Mr.. Champion. Mr.. Mar
cy writes that his connection with that office
the enlistment, has rendered him an ex-
ceptionable representative Of Her Brtanic
Majesty near this Government, and Mr..
Buchanan is directed by the President to
ask Her Majesty's Government to recall Mr..
Champion; also, asks the recall of Consuls
Barclay of New York, Rowecraft at Cincn-
natl, and Mathew at Philadelphia. .
Gin reference to the former he says the i'm
proper conduct of Mr.. Barclay in the case OF
the barque Maury, has justly given offence
to the commercial community with which
he resides and with which lie has official
connection.

Fat Men.

Our greatest writer's have been little, at.
tenuated men, stomachless, meagre, lean,
and lath-like beings, who have nalf-spirit-
ualized themselves by keeping matter in
due subordination to mind, corporeslly tes-
tifying that the sword was worn out to the
scabbard, and that the predominant soul has
"e'erinformed it's tegument of clay" Look
at the busts and portraits of Cicero, Demos
themes, Voltaire, Pope and hundred others,
whose minds have meagred their bodies till
they bee anne almost as ethereal as the ar
dent spiri: they enshrined-is it not mahi-
fest that they have the true form and physi-
ognomy of Intellectual pre-eminence! Lord
Byron never wrote SO well as when he was
macerating himself by rigid abstinence; and
the most eminent of our living writer's are
all men of temperate living asd spare bodily
habit. A corpulent intellectualist is a con-
tradictlon in terms, palpable catachresis.
One might as well talk of a leaden kite, a
sedsntary willo'-the-wisp, a pot-bellied
spirit, or lazy lightning. Obesity is dead
ly foe to genius; in carneous. and unvieldy
bodies the spirit is like little gudgeon in

Totally absorbed, or tastes of nothing but

reckon upon Immortality who cannot dis

the thinnest bow shoots the farthest, and
the leanest horse generally wins the race.

Policy OF HoLLowIKa THE Boil AaorID
A FREE IN WIxrE-Every healthy vigor-
Gus tree or plant is supplied with an almost

number of alternatives of heat and cold, so
many of these roots are broken as 10 leave

there be but slight action of frost, not
more than enough to freeze water half an
inch to an inch in depth, a body of water
around the roots would ssdosbtless act a.
preserver, and from this fact probably the
ridiculous habit arose above alluded to-. But
in this climate we have no guard against
foot-deep instead Of inch-deep frosts.
A simple experiment will show the diff.
ference between q. dry and wet soil around
the base of the tree. Take three eupx, leach
nine inches deep; fill each one Of thea
within one inch Of the top-ths 6rst with
water, the second with esr,h saturated with

dry earth, and subject oil three to cold .

to EIl up the entire measure. The moist
earth in the second will have expanded
nearly as much, while the comparatively dry
earth will scarcely expand an eighth Of ~

The experiment, or the principle which
this illustrates, viz: that the water freszing
expands but one-eighth Of its bulk. while
dIy solids do net thus expand, has . direct
bearing upon the winter treatment of trees.
Instead Of retaining water around them, it
is better to dig ditch (st sufficient Dis
ance to avoid cutting the !roots) to convey
the water away, and leave the soil dry.
1t is sometimes even advisable to bank
up the earth eight or ten inches high around
the oody of the tree, and slope il of few
feet. This will both carry off the WATER
