The Crops.-The wheat crop in South.
ern Iowa bids fair to be more abunaan,
than ever this season. Aside from The
prospect of very heavy yield, the
amount sown in the fall will more than
double the quantity put in the las, season,
in this county.
Owing TO tie want of rain the corn crop
looks less forward than usual at this time
of year.
We are sorry to learn that The northern
counties will have very light crops of
wheat, i: being mos,lywinler killed.

CAssIUs M CLAY's MovEMENrs.-To-nigh this
celebrated abolition leader and lecturer, makes his
appearance in the Tabernacle, and commences the
agitation Of the abolition doctrines in the North.
We have no doubt that this is the beginning OF
great movement In abolition, in combination with
certain wing leaders, which is calculated to give
new direction to the whig party of the North, and
bring about the white and black millennium that
these visionaries have been expecting for some
years past.
The position OF the abolitionists in Congress, on
the Oregon question, novel thing in the history
OF this faction. Mr.. Giddings and his associates
seem to go for the whole of Oregon, under the be-
lief that 1t will result in war, and in case of war
that 1t would be followed by slave instruction in
the South.
In this State there is convention about being
convened, for the purpose Of remodelng the con-
stltutlon, and particularly the laws relative to voting
1t is proposed that the negro be here ter placed on
the same footing in regard to political rights as the
white man. and attempt to remove those insuperabIe
barriers which nature has placed between them
These things, coupled with the appearance of Mr..
Clay IN the field OF action, lead us to expect that
great BOLTON demonstration is about to be made
in the North.
In this city, the men who have invited Mr. CLAW
to make speech tonight some of them live in and
near the fashionable squares up town. 1t therefore
may be called reunion between the drawinp.rooms
OF Washington and Union Places, and the subterra.

bemacle will be crowded
