In his speech on the Oregon question, recently
delivered in the House of Representatives by the
Hon. tn. BuTLER KING of Georgia, the subject
of the effect of the British Corn Laws on the
price of American grain was adverted to. In the
course of his remarks he said
A repeal of those laws has been most anxious
ly desired by the wbeat-growers of this country,
in the expectation that in that event we should
supply the British market. moments consid-
GRAFTON will show that this is mistake. AS the
British corn laws now stand they exclude, ex-

while our wheat and flour are admitted at a very
low duty through the colonial ports. 1.-THE corn
laws we're repealed, we should lose this advan-
tage, and be compelled to compete in the British
market with the cheap grain from the Baltic, the
Mediterranean and Black Sea. To show that we

The New York Commercial Advertiser Of
Wednesday afternoon says that the last returns
of the election in Connecticut are not so favora-
able as those first received. The Wing candidate
for Governor has the largest plurality, but there
is certainly no election by the people, and there
will probably be a Democratic majority in the
Legislature. So far as heard from Wing and
10 Democratic Senators are elected two districts
to hear from, which last year returned Wing Sen.
ators. If they have done the same now there will
be Wing majority Of one In the Senate. In the
House, thus far, 76 Wings and 81 Democrats are
elected. The towns yet to be heard from, seven
only, and the towns in which there has been no
choice will probably elect about an equal num-
Der Of each party.
