with the Turk" il we would secure Il part
OF our piums, nectarines, &c. Every year is
proli6c with new remedies against his ravages
and yet, none OF all we have ever seen pub.
lishe1 or tried, has proved such YeciHc
Us the one we (uruish at the close Of this
article. The remedy, which we lind given in
the New York Observer is
TO one pound Of whale oil soap, add tou.
ounces of -four Of sulphur Mix thoroughly
together and dissolve in twelve gallons OF
water.
TO one balC peck of quick lime add four
gallons Of water and stir we'll together-
When fuly settled, pour of the transparent
line water, and add 10 the soap and sulphur
mixture.
Add TO the same slso, say four gallons OF
tolersbly strong tobacco water
Apply this mixture, when thus iucorpo-
rated, with garden syringe, TO your plum or
other fruit trees, so that the foliage shall be
well drenched. II no rains succeed for three
weeks one application will be sufficient
Should frequent rains occur the mixture
should be again applied until the stone of the
fruit becomes hardened, when the season oi
the curculos ravages is past.
TO fine collection Of well cultivated plum,
trees in large variety, We had applied all
the ordinary remedies in vain, for years -
Nothing but the enclosure Of few, with
mlinet or gauze, had preserved to US q single
perfect specimen.
Desparing therefore, in the use Of all or
dinary prescriptions, we ordered the prepa
ration and nse of the above mixture. We
watched daily among our fruit for the first in
dication of the curculio, 10y his well know
semicircular ncs.ou, which is not seen unit
the young fruit has attained the size Of a bar
ley corn. We made q thorough application
Of orr experimental mixture The followin,
three weeks were without rain, md as th

Gov. NoRGAN's excellent Message contains the
startling nfoI nation that the Canal Commissioners,
in direct violation of tho Constitution, have COO
tracted in behalf of the State debt Of from two to
four millions Of dollars.
The Canal Commissioners, immediately RESPONSE
bile for this act are Me.sTs. Charles III. Sheriff.,
John N. Jsycox and Samuel IL. Rugsles, the hr't
q Republican, the second Democrat aud the third
an American. And the Canal Board, who are iu-
directly responsible for it, was composed of Henry
X. Sclden and Charles II. Sheriff.. Republicans;
G. }. Tucker, S T.. Church, l. V. vanderpoe',
John N. Jaycox, v. X. Richmond, ond Lyman
fireman., Democrats; and s. b. Rugslcs. Ameei-
can. appointed in the place of the American, Whal-
lop, who died in the second year OF his term.
For many years no event has occurred 10 the
Administration Of the State which can be CON-
pared with this in Importance. Here are the
sworn officers Of the Government deliberately vio-
latipg the Cons itution which they had taken q
solemn oath to respect aud obey; aad violating 1t
in the provision which its trainers most carefully
guarded, aud which both the Courts and the people
have upheld with the greatest Jealousy.
We cay that 1t Is not an error. IL not iauit'
1t is q crime.
If these gentlemen, or any other gentlemen,
whom the people have trusted, aud elevated to
Office, can break their oaths ani saddle the State
with an unauthorized debt Of two millions or four
million', why not with 8 debt of forty or four
hundred, if 1t should please them! If they can
overthrow the Constitution in one respect why
not in another, or in all Others'
We dare say the parties can allege wha. they
regard as very good reasons for their course They
II cant no harm by it. Their intentions were good.
We all know what such excuses signify; and We
can all recall the instances in which they have
heen put forth by great offenders, whom they have
Dot saved from nerted punishment. We CON-
mepd tie subject to the reflection Of tho people,
and the action Of the Legislature.
New-York daily tribune. [volume] (New-York [N.Y.]) 1842-1866, 1859-01-05

The successful opposition made by certain class
Of politicians, chiefly from tho Western add
Southern States, to appropriations for fortidc,tons
on our seabo.rd frontier, has left miny important
points on cur coast in a manner defenseless to at
tack that may be made 10 time Of WAT with either
France or England. Among those places thas left
in manner unprotected, are tie cities OF New
Yori, Brooklyn and Williausbursh.
There are Ut the Narrows, on the Long Island
doubt Of masonry in its rear, which has not yet
been thought deserving q name; and Castle La
fsJ cite, constructed in the NArrows, beneath the
hight On which Fort Hamilton is situated On the
Staten Island ride is Fort Richmond, on the
caste rlnost point Of the d,bOreaemsnt Of the Mar
rows, and it is overlooked and supported BY bat
teries Hudson and Morton, and BY q fortress 90
the nights in progress OF construction in place If
old Fort Tompkits, which has been demolished.
Beside these, there il about being constructed
large fertilization on the Jersey eide, at the point
of Sandy Hook. Ia addition, also, there inside
the Narrows, Fort Wood, on Bedloe's Island; .
battery on Eln's Island; ard on Governors Island
tutfc tc Soesc w iAiAoA1, Wv SosuAh'u'r
and the South Battery" AID to these map be
superadded, The Battery at Castle Garden. All
the last named are within the harbor, and i. il be-
heved, all comparatively of little service for de-
fense Of the city against any naval force that could
be able to get BY the forts defending the lower pas
ssse On the East River there IL old Fort
Schuyler, a. Thross Point, ard it is contemplated
10 build, forthwith, new forti6cation ct the
place some what notorious, called Willetrs Point,
nearly oppo1te the latter, on the LOas Island side.
These, we believe, are al tho defenses in our
vicinity. Every one Of them is exclusively de-
signed t. Iepel naval attack. Whether, con-
strueted a all those completed have been, on the
old fosy system OF fertilization in vogue before the
application Of steam to shps of-war, and anterior
to the improvements within the last decade in
floating batteries and in naval Sunnery and pro-
jeetiles Of attack, they constitute safe defenses
sssnst such attacks, is . question upon which
many of our best-informed engineers entertain
some doubt But be this a. it may. il must strike
the mind Of every observing man. that none Of
these foIts forms any barrier Whatever to tho land
