Election Returns.

The returns that we have received, do
not show any great change. We notice
that several counties have labored under
the same disadvantages that our own has,
and, therefore. have lost some Of the Off
ces. We trust that this election will
put the Democratic party throughout The
State. ontheir guard. in future. The par.
ty in each county should organize, which
is the only way TO maintain their princi-
Piles. The Wings well know. ifthe party
is united. they can accomplish nothing in
Illinois; hence their efforts to keep up
discussions in our ranks.
The election for the coming year is one
of great importance, and will affect the
happiness and prosperity of our Stale for
years; and therefore. we repeat, that the
party should organize for the contest, and
ifpossible unite their forces against the
enemies Of the principles and measures Of
their party.

il to be appropriated Whenever Il sho'd DO

when that debt should be paid. The
committee paid little attention to this, but
made itcertain and apply the tax to the
school fund debt. This does not suit
many OF the democrats.
Mr.. Caldwell was much opposed to the
word t'shall, and 10 due time he would

Tbs CRops.--The winter wheat in
this part Of the State and northern part Of
Indiana, owing to it being winter killed
will not probably be more than one third
the usual yield; but what there is, will be
of the first quality. In this vicinity the
farmers made up the deficiency by sowing
large quantities of spring wheat. Many
have finished harvesting their spring
wheat, and the yield per acre will exceed
that of last year. We conclude. taking
the winter and spring wheat together,
there will be an average crop.
The season, so far, has been favorable
for corn and other crops. The appear.

that famine will hardly be expected a.
