TIE GRAIN CROPS OF TIE U. STATES.
Much speculation has been induced in.
and much anxiety experienced, for the ac
tual state OF the forthcoming grain crops of
The United States. inerica has been SER
wing during the last year, and will continue
to do so for years to come, lis the rranarv of
large part of Europe 1t becomes. there
fore, a subject Of great importance to know
whether o,lr resources will be sufficient to
meet the demands that are to be made upon
them by the furnishing Inhabitants of the
Eastern Continent
With this view the Boston Courier has
taken the pains to clip from the various
journals all account of the prospects of the
crops in the grain growing States. TO copy
this would give rise to much unnecessary
repetition; but we have thought that a
condensed statement of the facts would be
interesting.
In New York the general impression is
that the coming harvest will be an abundant
one.
In Pennsylvania the prospect is said to
be especially cheering, and the papers of that
State generally speak in the language of
hope and confidence.
In New Jersey the crops is expected to
be as good as it was last year.
In Mary land the prospect is by no means
discolraging The general impression is
that tho wheat crop will be heavier than
that ol last year
In Virginia there is from all sources un-
doubted assurance of Il full crop
In Ohio the accounts arc less encoura
ging. A good yield, it is said, is now en-
tirely out of the question, and the CROP IN
consequence of the injuries of cold weather
and the fly, will be unualIy light. Still,
however, there will be, it is supposed, no
actual want.
In Wisconsin they are, perhaps, more
cheering than anywhere else, and the fact,
that while the export Of wheat from that
State, during the past year, was about
$4,000 bushels, the estimated export. for
the present year, is not less than 100000
bushels, is sufficient to snbslan,iate the ex-
preston of one Of the Wisconsin papers
that "the present crop will show the Eastern
m:lers what the prolific soil of Wisconsin
can do in the way of wheat growing"
From Indiana the accounts show that the
crops are every where damaged by the past
winter.
In South Carolina the crop, as we have
already stated, is a very fair one.
In Georgia the wheat and other grain
crops are very promising.
In Michigan the prospect is that the crop
Will be quarter more than last year.
From this succinct view we have evcry
reason 10 congratulate ourselves on The pro-
spcct of the crops throughout the country,
and we feel assured that the yield will be
more abundant than it has ever been before
in this country. We may, therefore, anti
cipated a reduction in the prices of the staff
fife.
THE PROPOSED TREATY WITH MEXICO.
The Washington Union says that any
treaty ofpeace which may be concluded be-
tween the United States and Mexico, "must
embrace, in some form, indemnity for past
Injuries, and for the war itself, together with
due security for the future peace and good
neighborhood Of the two countries" It al
so says, "there is no reason to suppose that
any treaty Of peace which will be made,
will undertake, In the slightest degree, to
interfere with the internal polity of exico"
This last we are glad to hear. 1t would be
the greatest folly in the world for us to un.
dertake to guaranty any thing to Mexico
even Republican form of government
Should other nations attempt to force mon
archical form of government upon her a.
gainst her will, the United States might feel
obliged to interfere to prevent it but if the
people OF Mexico want monarchy, an aris-
tocracy, or even democracy. by all means
