it is in all other staesso to require majority ofulI

this mode to defeat him there. Had the law remain

THE POTATOE CROP.

We regret 10 learn that this vegetable, which few
weeks ago gave promise of an abundant crop, has
almost every farm in this vicinity, been damaged
and in many instances wholly destroyed, by disease
hitherto unknown among farmers. The stock
bears the appearance when struck by the rust
and the vegetable Immediately decays When first
discovered many Of our farmers to digging, but
found that decomposition did not stop when taxi
from the earth, and in all where the damag
crop has been put into the cellar. so offensive has
been the smell arising from them that they had forth.
with to be removed and buried in the ground II has
been suggested that farmers had better not dig the
crop at present, but let them remain in the earth unit,
the damaged portion should become so far decayed
as to be easily distingushable Time and unnecessa-
ry labor may thus be saved We are told that the
crop throughout the State has been similarly affected,

England States If the destruction has been general

NEW lORh. The recent wing state ConVen-

for Governor, and SAMUEL J. WILKINS, for 1t.
Governor, Willis Hall, and John A Collier for Flee
tors at Large. Samuel Works,a native Of our vcin-
ity, we believe, is Of the Candidates for Canal
Commissioners
This is strong ticket. Fillmore is full match
for Wright in talents and popularity, and we con-
fdently believe he will be elected by from 5000 TO
10000 majority. The old Eighth District promises
to give Fillmore 20, 900 majority This is a farm
ing portion of the State, and is wing all over; but the
British agents in New York City with the large for
egn vote they control, may 10 part offset this by Civ
ing, they probably WILL 900 majority for Wright.
The reason of this is Fillmore is for the Tariff,
Wright is for cutting it down.
