The prices annexed TO the above articles
are given BY the editor, and not by Mr..
Dodge. We have put the sums low, gener.
ally, and some of them probably. are less
than Mr. Tappan sold the mark etable part Of
his crops for. But every one acquainted
with farming, well knows that most crops
have refuse, unsaleable portion. This por.
tion is included usually in the gross amount
Of crop, but cannot be sold for much. For
this reason, we must put prices low, or we
shall mislead many readers. 49,.
The slower, or corn fodder, Ii not included
ia the above; It probably was worth from
twelve to fifteen dollars. ......
Az the quality ofthe articles was unknown
to us, we probably have hit wide from the
mark in many instances. Four hundred

NATIONAL CONVENTION.

Public opinion is almost unanimous as 10 the time
OF holding the National Convention for the selection
Of candidates for the Presidency and Vice Presden-
cy, to be supported by the Democratic party.-We
were among the first to urge the spring of 1874, as
the proper time for the meeting Of this important and
responsible body. Nothing could be gained by pre-
mature action subject that involves so much in
terest as the selection Of Democratic candidates for
the first offices in the gift of the people Let all the
candidates have fair chance" before the people,
Let the claims of each be impartiay canvassed, and
we have no doubt that the ticket put in nomination
by convention, fairly chosen, will receive the uni
ted support Of the great Democratic party.

can party OF It's sincerity IN the advocacy Of Demo
cratic principles, so long II witnesses the abuse
hesped upon President Tyler for vetoine Wbip mca-
sures and saving the country from impending difficult
ties, without stepping forward nstinctvely In his de-
fence. But the protested Democratic Journal in
whose co.mns are found systematic attacks upon the
present Administration which has made such go
crlhces for the good Of the party and lis measures

Sin An unprovoked and unchartable article in
the Globe" of tonight ia which occasion is taken
to reflect upon me, through suspicion BY alleging no
guilt of criminality to have existed, makes
it proper that should call upon YOU the head Of
the Department in which am employed TO state
whether am in any manner connected with that
branch Of the public business in which the robbery Of
Treasury notes committed or it, from the first
moment of discovery, it was contemplated by you or
the proper officers of the Government, to involve
me, directly or indirectly, by doubt or by the re-
hottest suspicion of implication, by thought or by
of apprehension with that unfortunate
renee,
My feelings, in being thus reluctantly forced to this
agonizing and humiating position, may well be
ceved but respect for character and opinion, justice
to the trusts which confded in me, and resolu-
ton to scorn concealment of any kind urge me to
request that you will speak freely and fully these
questions, and whatever else my official in
