From the Philadelphia (Jt. 3D. Sentinel
THE LATE CONGRESS-.

We are sincerely DESTROYS of thinking and
speaking well of those in authority and when
compelled to do otherwise, we yield 10 the ne
cessity with reluctance and pain. SO little re-
verence exists in the land that nothing but the
most criminal wantonncss would diminish or
weaken it. by dealing out censure without suiii-
Gent reason
We review the late session OF Congress with
deep modification and distress on many ac-
counts. II was prolonged nearly eight months,
and what has il done which might not have
been better done in as many weeks If not days!
Besides the appropriation and sub treasury bills,
and very small number OF acts Tor the reliei OF
private persons, what has been done An inn
Inense amount of urgent business has been
thrown aside for rant ~ time. A bankrupt
bill, so earnestly called for from all parts OF the
country lies under the table. Hundreds Of pri-
yate claims upon the Justice Of the country, are
again deferred-the Florida war is left 10 take
care Of itself; and those great interests of the
nation, present aud future, which require the
fostering influence of generous and far seeing
legislation, have been scarcely heard or thought
Of in the din and scuing of political petit
toggers and party hacks
We rant public souis-wE WANT THEM
We speak il to the shame and reproach of both
political parties, that statesmen Of enlarged
views, of manly temper and purposes, are
scarcely To be found, or ii found, in numbers
and courage too insignificant, to ripple with our
commencement the sweeping flood OF partysm
which now submerges every thing. Need we
say what every body knows, that the Congress
Of the United States is becoming every year
more contemplate in the eyes Of the people, be
cause II no longer stands before them as the as
sembied wisdom Of the nation, but as the hack
representatives. of It's parties, and the retailers
OF their slang and violence.
We say this more in sorrow than in anger
The theory Of our national legislature belongs
10 the sublime. II i the focus OF those gene
rous sentiments which mould and move great
empire, and animate mighty people in the task
of seli-goyernment. II is the depository of the
principles which made Us freemen, land which
our representatives, uprased above the clamor OF
faction. and unsweryed by petty sectional strifcs
are 10 reflect, a. diamond points over the land

To Messrs, Hugh Mercer, SC,
Committee of Invitation

Among the reckless ISLANDERS uttered against
Gen. Harrison, it has been charged that he was
opposed to foreigners, and in favor of restricting
the naturalization laws. The following frank
letter from the old veteran to committee in In
diana, eiiectually silences the calumny:
NORTH BEND, July 4, 1910.
GENTLEMEN: | have TO acknowledge the re-
ceipt Of your letter of the 9th ult., informing me
that report prevails in your neghborhood "that
am averse to emigrants from foreign countries
being naturalized short Of twenty years, and
that in my feelings have no sympathy in unison
with those who have sought an asylum in this
land of liberty
have heard of this calumny before, and have
never ceased to pronounce il such, and 10 de
clare that il has not shadow of foundation
On the contrary, ! have done every thing in
my power to facilitate those who have been near
me toacquire the rights Of citzenship-and when
IN Congress to give them (beiore their naturali-
zallon) the same privileges in taking up and pur-
chasing the public lands as the native citizens. II
appears to me to be impossible to keep pace, by
contradiction, with the numerous iasehoods
which are daily raised against me- some of the
latter indeed supported BY the basest perjury
Respectfully,

At this of the year the attention of all interested
in this trade is directed to the probable yield of the crop
Last year published at this time statement the crop
putting il at 100000 bales II was not however until
January, that the public convinced that the crop
would exceed 900 bales The result is that 2,l5oooo
bales have been received This the result of the high
prices OF previous years During the past prices
have fallen slightly but the prices of supplies have fallen
in great proportions and the toppage othe public works
and improy cmcnts generally have released large physi
cal force which has turned back TO agricultural pursuits
This will have great influence upon the crop of this
year. frequently the quantity planted and matured
cecds the ability Of the physical force OF the planter to
"pck out" The accounts Of damage done to the crops
are greatly exaggerated.
The crop undoubtedly, in particular locations,
tanned injury The accounts from the interior OF Aaba-
ma Louisiana, and Mississippi very conflicting Civ
ing evidence that general disaster has bciaen the
crop. The season. upon the whole has been favorable
thus far The yield depcnd upon the season after
the oss make their appearance which is usually about
the Of November The present appearances that
the crops will be much short Of last year. The
ccps OF the crop unusually large thus as fol-

The shipping demand has mostly ceased in this city, and
also in the other principal markets There have been ship

Indies but not OF magnitude The intelligence from
England respecting the crops is OF such nature that
cannot expect to export largely TO that country this
year Later accounts, however, will perhaps be more
satisfactory.
Prices in this country high compared with the
in May and June lsst but low compared with
the prices Of previous years They higher than they
would be- the supplies in the interior pushed to
market But many Of the producers Will not aud many
