SATURDAY, AUGUST J., 1885.
CT The Wheat crop in this county, we
take pleasure in saying, is generally sup
posed to be an average one.
% The election in Kentucky, for
members of Congress ard members Of
the Legislature, takes place on Monday.
Tuesday and Wednesday next.
T Maj. BARnY sailed from New York
on Sunday last, for Spain.
O. The Cumberland Civilian of Tues
day last, mentions the death of Mr.. JOHN
LoGsDoN, of Allegheny CO., by rupturing
blood vessel, while at work in his har-
vest field.
G3 We learn, by the latest arrival at
New York from Europe, says the Nation
al Int. of Saturday last, that the bill to
carry into effect the Treaty between the
United States and France passed the
French Chamber of Peers, by large
majority (125 against 22) as reported
from the Chamber of Deputies; that is,
retaining the clause added by the amend
ment of General Valeze. In that form,
the bill may now be considered the act
of the French Government and moth
ing but inconceivable faulty, on the part
of one Government or the other, can pre-
vent a final settlement ofthis controversy.
THE FRENCH QUESTION: public
dinner was lately given to Mr.. Living
ston in New York which was very nume-
rously and respectfully attended. From
his speech which was very eloquent &
happy production we make the following
extracts
seize this public occasion to declare
that / never doubted the sincere desire
ofhis Majesty faithfully to perform the
treaty he had made, and to preserve the
most amicable relations with the United
States, and that if he had been seconded
by all his ministers with the same zeal
which distinguished the minister for for
eign affairs. the rejection Of 1884 would
not have taken place.
This adhesion to the amendment Of
General Valeze astonished and grieved
me. / strove to counterfeit its effects by
the note, gentlemen, which you have
seen. ARD WHICH SINCE ITS APPROVAL BIZ
THE President, STILL HOPE MAY re-
MOVE THIS DIFFICULTY. Should this
fail-should one word of additional ex-
PLANTATION be required-the good intelli-
gepce between the two countries is at
once interrupted, perhaps destroyed. The
voice Of this country, thank God, is de-
cided on that sublect-[Cheers. 1.-The
dignity ofthe country must, at all hazards
be preserved.
The words which we have placed in
small capitals confirm the view which we
have already given of the state of the
question. Metropolitan.
p Late accounts from Madison, Indi-
ana, state that the CHOLERA has reap
peared there and was raging with much
violence.
u The second annual report of the
American anti-slaverY society has been
published, and the first resolve or resolu-
ton is quite enough, and will give a
clear idea of all that followed.
That for the permanent safety Of
"the Union, it is indispensable that
"the WHOLE moral power ofthe FREE
estates should be CONCENTRATED and
"brought into action, for the extermin-
"ation Of Slavery among u.s."
This society held their meeting in
New York. We all know, or ought to
know, how readily delusion has taken
hold of the less intelligent of the human
family throughout all ages of the world;
and can we say. that there is not in the
mass ofth people of the Union, both in
the slave-holding and nonslaveholding
states, the same state of moral weakness,
and which may not be played upon in the
same way? We do not believe that there
is east ofthe Potomac or west of the o.
bio, truly intelligent and virtuous'y
patriotic man who would patronlse the
measures of this anti-slavery society;
but if we cast look round the Union,
can we believingly say, that they have
any infuence--ANY controul of the mass
ofour less intelligent fellow citizens If
they had, Martin Van Buren, & Richard
M. johnson never would have been put
