WHEAT HARvEsT.-Many of the farmers in the
interior, are now in the midst of their wheat har-
vest. Although some few late pieces of wheat have
been considerably injured by the rust, yet the crop
in general will turn out to be productive one. 1t
is remarked by those competent of Judging, that at
least one third more wheat will be harvested in
tern Wisconsin this year than last year. The late
warm weather has had favorable effect upon the
corn crop; although many fields planted in are
entirely given over yet some farmers are now con-
fdcntly expecting to realize tolerable crop.

pacity What "treason, high crime, or misde
meanor' has he committed! None and his accu-
sers know it. But they have resolved to suspend
him, that they may, in the interval, fix upon the
country the iangs of their Federal measures!
He will be acquitted, triumphantly acquitted
and comforted and sustained, by the unanimous
voice of the nation.
But the reign of terror, however short, may fix a

But the usurpers will be punish ed. Their reign
will be as brief it will be ngorous, and the pen
