ELECTION OF SENATOR OF THE IT, s.
A Correspondent in the Northwest of Virgil
mia, in a letter addressed 10 member ofthe State
Senate, touches on the subject of the Senatorial
Election. He says:
81 am inclined 10 believe from present appear
ances, that The Wings in the Legislature are de-
,crmined 10 foi.l Wing Senator upon us for six
years, if possible. This can only be prevented
by the Senate's taking firm and decided stand
against going into the election at this session,
which hope they will do. The circumstances
certainly require it, and The country demands il
at their hands. The Wings, know, will pratc
about the constitutional requirements &c; bur
what care they for constitutional provisions when
they are TO be benefited By disregarding them?-
Which would be the greatest violation of The
Constitution, or would infictthe most fatal wound
upon that sacred instrumental refusalto 90 into
the election at this lime, and thereby submit the
question again 10 the people, or 10 go into The
election with full knowledge OF electng Sc
na,or, bound by his party bias violate, on vital
and important questions, that Constitution which
you are sworn 10 support, and that too, without
the hope OF redress tor six years to come? Pru-
dence, and respect for the opinions OF the people
so recently and emphatically expressed seem to
point out clearly The duty Of the Senate and ponr
constituents, | am sure, will sustain you in re-
;. sing TO go into the election"

Bread prosPecfs fov tie seaf y~ar IN Hirginis.
There 10 little doubt now that the crop ot Corn
10 much below AN average most probably, taking
the State collectively, it il hardly up to one half Of
the crop Of ls44. Whoever has traversed tho val.
ley Of James River since the Corn was stripped
Of fodder. must have been impressed with its de-
cided inferiority compared with former years, and
with the almost entire failure Of the promise Of
restoring il, given by the August rains. The ear
was little improved by them. and the benefit was
mostly confined to the fodder. They came too
late: The stalk had hardened, the tassel dried up,
and the farna departed on the wings Of the wind:
Ears formed after those rains, and many before
have an exterior promise which is not realised
when the shuck 10 removed.
We are sorry to add, that from the tide water
country, the lower Potomac, Rappahannock, York,
James and Roanoke, the great Corn raising coun.
try Of Virginia, whence there is generally large
expectation, the reports are hardly more favorable
than from the upper James River: The crop is
unquestionaby short third at least, from the best
comparison Of opinion we can make.
We state these matters to the country, not for
the purpose Of creatisg any alarm, but in the way
Of warning and Of Recommendation to the early
adoption and perseverng observance during the
winter and Spring, Of rigid economy in the polity
of the farmers This will, as general rule, make
up for the deficiency Of the crop. The waste in
years Of plenty, especially where the management
Of stock is left chiefly to negroes, (and many over
seers are no better or more discreet is horrible:
1t Is remark of long experience in Virginia, that
| great Corn crop is not apt to hold out so well
moderate one and the is, that the necessity
Of economy is suggested in the latter case, where.
as in the former, all hands, master, overseer and
negroes, are apt to think with the fool in Scripture
Soul, thou hast food laid up for many days
cat, drink and be merryv'
As to ,odnf, that is thing out Of the question:
Corn can probably be delivered at Richmond and
all the Virginia ports from Missouri and Kentucky,
at - so or % per barrel, and leave the importer
fair profit. But of all things the stomach of a
Virginia farmer revolts at having Corn to buy: he
can stand meat pretty well-but to have to buy
Corn, is offence to his pride as we'll as a vio-
lence to his purse.
ECONOMY, or there will have to be bought
much more than is generally supposed.
Wheat and Flour will certainly remain firm at
present prices, and from the failure of the Potato
crop abroad and the effects of the general drought,
probably advance, not rapidly, but slowly and
steadily.

higher than now, Add 10 net that ressoning self
evidently fallacious which discovers oppression to

This is the old free Trade error in which Us

Il Is the basis Of all their theories and the fruitful
source Of all their mistakes. They ever contend

THE "wAREHoUsING SYSTEM. !"

The October number Of the Southern Litera-
ry Messenger" contains treatise in recommended
ton Of the Warehousing System, which embraces
great deal of most valuable information, com.
mercial, naval and statistical. Ii is by "Harry
Bluff lit. Maury Of the Navy who has acquir
ed literary and scientific laurels in the pages of
that Periodical for some years past. and elevated
his reputation man of taste, science, talent
and knowledge, to a very high point.
We are too little in possession ofthe subject, to
presume to offer any opinion upon the good policy
of adopting the Warehousing System. England,
ever wise in her navigation and economical policy,
has had it in operation for 40 years. and it is sta
ted with eminent advantage. This fact is stron-
ger than any priori or speculative reasoning can
possibly be.
But there may be objections to IL, which do not
suggest themselves at present to our minds.
We commence to-day, the republication of the
article from the Messenger, and recommend it 10
the careful Perusal Of the country.
