The President.

The Baltimore Patriot, after pointing to The
errors of The presen, administration OF the Gov
eminent, says:
" Mr. Polk has not, in all this, disappointed
public expectation. Those who opposed his
election TO The Presidency insisted lha, he was
not competent of the oflice-thal he neither
had The moral influence nor The intellectual
capacity, which should be possessed by The
chief msgisrate-and predicted that his admin
is,ralion, if he were elected, would be charac-
ierised by contradictions, feebleness and cor
rupiion. This was scarcely denied by some oil
his advocates, and 10 many of them was a
recommendation that the appIehensions were
just.

The Dead,

How lille do we think of The dead. Their
bones lie lowly eniombed in all our towns, viii

he same road, walk in The same path, sill at the
same 6tesde, sleep in the same room, ride in
The same carriage, and dine al the same table,
We, seldom remember, that those who once oc-
cupied ,hese places are gone--alas forever
Strange that the living soul should so soon
forget The dead, when the world is full OF the
Iuemenioes OF their lives. Strange tha, The
fleeing cares of life should so soon rush in and

The Crops.

We have had,a number of fine refreshing show

which has given healthy aspect to the crops in
this region, and they now present at least prom

be expected This rain will bring up the corn
that has been planted and lying in the ground for
some time. Below suboined an account of
the prospects in various parts of the country :.
The Wheat Crop Of Ohio.-The Cincinnati Ga

ready expressed the opinion that SO large portion
of wheat in the ground have been winter killed
that there is danger Of short crop in Ohio We
have lately passed through the State from this to
Cleveland and thence to Beaver, Pennsylvania,
and although we noticed many fields where large
portion had been winter killed, we are confident,
taking into consideration the quantity into the
ground, that the present promise is of yield above
an average crop.
Crops in Vwgima.-The Lynchburg Virginian
states that the crops in that vicinity very un-
promising, until the recent rains, but there is
much better prospect.
The Plansville (Pa) Telegraph states that the
