Hos. EDWARD SrASLY friend has forwarded
to us handbi containing an ncoherent and scurril-
Gus letter, bearing the name Of the Hon. Edward
Stanly, of North Carolina, which purports to be
denial his part Of certain charges against him to
the effect that he is in favor of the consttutonaity
Of the Wilmot Proviso and the abolition Of slavery
in the district Of Columbia In his address we find
the following sentence: -.--.,-a- .a #- ai

Burke, whom charged, if the House of Represen-
tatives, to his face, with being ally and friend of
abolitionists !'e 3l 10 7s...- - .sr iIe.
We have no recollection of the fact that Mr. Stan
y charged us to our face. in the House of Represen-
g n.
IL he did so charge US, he unquestiOnably told
to his face that there not particle of truth in
the charge. If Mr.. Stany made such charge against
rs it was utterly uRtrue, and he doubtless in
formed. We have never been the ally the friend
Of the abolitonists; and when the Hon. Edward STAN
ly makes statement OF that kind, he has better
authority for it than his imagination, the fab
rication Of some comPeer in te work Of detraction
Again, Mr.. StaRy says:
y " In Congress was regarded by Burke SC Go. rs
an ultra southern man." g ,'. ..-s
He is equally in in this statement, 80 far as
We are concerned. We never regarded Mr.. Stany
rs an " ultra southern man" :" On the contrary, we
knew him TO be not only treacheFons to the South,
but constantly acting in alliance with the abotionists
and anti-slavefy men of the North. When he and we
were members Of the House together, he was acting
in political alliance with Joshua r. Giddngs, Viii
lam Slade and John Q. Adams, then the three most
notorious abolioniss in that body and in the United
States. On all party questions he voted with them,
md against US, and the democratic party to which
we were attached. He was then playing his part in
hat treacherous game by which the South has at
ast been betrayed. He knew that Messrs. Adams,
Winthrop. Fillmore, and every Northern Whig were
igalnst the South on every question relating to Sla
very. He knew that they were for receiving aboli-
ion petitions and agitatng the question of slavery
And he also knew that voted for the twenty-fTst
ule, and IN favor Of every proposition designed to
put down the Abolitionsts, and put end to the /
1uisance OF abolition petitions. He knew that our |
rotes were always to be found the side with
hose of Messrs. Pckens, Rhett, and other distin-
yuished Southern MEMBERS all questions relating
o Slavery. And yet he has the effronteFy charge
~ with being the tally and friend of the Abolition
sts. His allegation with regard to us is utterly
without foundation, but it is literally true appl
ID to himself -at Washington Union. 1
THE CRops 1t is now reduced to demonstration
hat the w heat crop of Cherokee Georgia is en-
cafcely equal, and certainly will but little exceed
hat of the grain sown. Incessant heavy rains for
he last three weeks, have done great injury to the
cotton crop; and, in opinion, to the corn crop

etter for corn. This is great mistake. A definite
mount only, of moisture, is necessary to dissolve
hose ingredients Of the soil which go to the forma-
ion of grain. Every drop of rain beyond what is
necessary to make saturated solution of those in-
redients, is injurious, since it makes weak, instead
{ saturated solution. The capacity of the vessels
f the plant being limited, if they filled with
weak instead of o saturated solution, the weight Of
rain elaborated must be less. This is one reason.
there is another. Heavy and continued rains beat
