John Iyler's opinion Of Henry C7ay-At a
Whig dinner at Washington, a short time after
the nomination Of Harrison and Tyler by the
Harrisburg Convention, Mr.. Tyler said
IL do declare, in the presence of my Heaven
ly Judge, that the nomination given 10 me was
neither solicited nor expected; went to the
Convention IN honor Of Henry Clay; and in the
defeat of the wishes of his friends, I. as one Of
them made sacrifice Of feeling, even though
my own name was associated with that of Har-
rson. am a true and genuine Whie,
and IN the Capitol yonder, / have shown my love
OF Whig principles"
Notwithstanding the above, this same Tyler,
IN an evil hour, basely deserted both Mr.. Clay
and his party, went over to the Locos, who,
havlng used HIM TO his ruin, spurned him from
their presence; and he is now left with miser-
able few who embraced him for :" the spoils of
othce" He and they will soon meet their
doom. baltimore Patriot

ST. Lawrence Wheat.

1t has been supposed by some,
because wheat is not exported from
this county in large quantities, that
the soil or climate is not adapted to
the cultivation of this grain-But
this is by no means the case. There
is no part of the State, or United
States, where larger crops of wheat
are raised, than In the county OF St
Lawrence-I mean more bushels on
the acre, or of better quality 1t is
no uncommon thing to husband forty
bushels per acre, and in some in
stances even fifty bushels have been
reaped and threshed out, from fields
of several acres. Indeed taere is no
surer crop than wheat and generally
for the production Of both kinds, win
ter and spring all that is required Is
good husbandry, for seldom does the
earth fail "to bring forth her H.
crease" and that in the greatest abun-
dance, when the labor of the husband
man has been properly applied; and
without it he has no right to look for
his reward. These remarks have
been suggested at this time, on being
informed by Mr.. John Fosgate OF
Gouverneur that he recently pur-
chased, at his mill in that town, load
of wheat, raised in that neighborhood,
which weighed 64 pounds per meas
ured bushel.- Ogdensburgh Times
