The whra, Crop.---Pro.peer. Of Harvest.

OF uhucSfat.
| The wheat crop in this section of the state is
rapidly approaching maturity. and we regret to
add tia, as the harvcs, advances the prospect Of
a full crop decreases. Many Of our farmers who
laitcrcd themselves in the early part Of the sea-
son tina, boun,ifu harvest would fail to their lot
are now melsurahly disappointed The severity
Of the late winter completely destroyed the crop
in many places, and even the comparatively small
portion supposed not to be damaged, received
more or less injury.
The summer crops are promising, save per-
haps corn, which in mos, places is rather hack
ward, but the favorable weather for the las, two
or three weeks, with continuance of the same
accompanied by late and mild autumn, may
yet produce an abundan, crop. Spring wheat,
oats, and all other summer crops, look fine and
checrins-beautful to behold.
In regard to the prospects of the whea, crop
throughout the wheat CROWN, sections of the
Union, we think them decidedly unfavorahle and
that the price of wheat mus, be much higher than
has been FOR the past yearln regard To the pros
poets Of the crops, the Ohio Statesman of the 9Th

1T is very evident, as the harvest approaches
that there will be generally light crop Of wheat.

mountains, the wheat crop is every where light.
Even in Western New York, the crop will be
scarcely one hsifoi the usual amount III ohio.
though we may see many fields equal to the far.

crop Is not equal 10 what was expected.

We admit that many fields in Ohio look most
charmlngIy, seldom ever better; but where the
land Is very nat, carelessy titled there Is not
half crop, for acres together The amount siwcd,
which is supposed To be greater than any previous
year, may make up in some degree Tor much of
the apparent failure Of the crop. While there is
therefore every prospect of plenty, those will b.,

To Tie Editors cj'he Chicago Democrat

To the Editors ej'fhs Chicago Democrat.
DEAR SIR will you have the good
ness TO publish. in your paper, the follow
ing facts, in relation to the Julie. Prin-
ting Press, and the Scurrilous attack up
on our character.
In the first place. the editor Of the Sig
nal accuses us Of candes,nely and mali
cIously breaking into his office, and steal
ing part Of his printing establishment.
How much or what part he does not in
form us.
We admit that we went into our own
room and secured the doors and windows
against the band,ti that were secretly
carrying away different parts 70 the press.
aud conceallng i, (as it appears by his
own staIemenD where they could not even
find it themselves.
Now for the editors Office which he
has so much to say about. We take the
liberty to inform the gentleman that he
never had an Office in our building.
1t is true he had the liberty of printing
his paper il our Office, and nothing more.
In relation to Mr.. Wcn,worth's know
ing or having anything to do in any way
or shape, it is utterly false and it was on
~ got up Ivy a few worthless demagogues
for electioneering purposes. With Judge
at the helm, they have discovered great
iniquity and corruption. Such is always
the case with broken down politicians
and men of no fixed princi pies.
A political paper boiling the regular
nomination for congressman J! Who
ever heard of an instance of the kind be-
fore, selling itself Cor the promise Of being
furnished with certain number Of sub
scrbers for three months. Beautiful spe-
clnen Of democracy this !
This editor says The cause Of this out
rage is well understood. We agree with
him there. 1t is we'll understood that we
have n demand against die press of $l7l,
and that they have taken all unfair means
TO swlndle us out of the whole amount.
Blu, the editor says the object is to stop
our paper until after the August election,
and here he is aufuly mistaken. We
do not fear The result that hrn coat pa
per can effect with the democracy Of this
district. No. sir, it is a mere nothing
and viii not he known among the living
after the frs. of August next.
1t has been reported that we said tina,
this paper should and would 60 for the
nomination; but it is wholly aud totally
untrue.
The questian has been frequently asked
us wha, course we thought this paper
would take in regard to the election and
we have invariably answered the inquiries
that we thought it would 60 for the nom.
nation and we think our reasons were
good for saying so. Some Of them will
be found in this document. Such frivol.
Gus things are hardly worth noticing and
we DO it merely to sc, tho people right
in tho matter. The accusation made
