OF ayes l57. noes %. the Indiana delegation standing
ten to one AGAINST the resolution. This is a fact that
the Journal was ignorOnt Of, or it would not now
have given us occasion to rcsurrcct it for it's benefit 4.
Thus was every attempt, to commit the National
Convention in favor of the extension Of slavery, one
single inch, Stronghold an IT'S birth.
As if aware of The un:cnable nature of its position
in point of fact. the Journal reitcratcs the "forcible
feeble dicium with which ii commenced, to-wit:
"DOes any man in his senses suppose that the Demo-
cratic National Convention would have nominated a can
didato for the Presidency whose views on the most inn
poitant question of the day, they did nCs approve? They
knew Gen. Casss views, aud 10y nominating him they
endorsed those views. From this conclusion Ihero is no
escape, and IT is idle to suppose that they would have
passed any resolution conflicting with those views"
Again, we shy. ret this be applied to the Wings
and Taylor, and what advantage have they over the
Democrats He goes in for buying and selling ne
groes, no doubt. His practical views on that sub
jcct are well established. OF course, the wings by
nominating him. endorsed those views His "vicws"
on the tariff, bank, and internal improvement system,
as well as his notions about the public lands, were
all "well Defined we suppose, and, whatever they
may be, according to the Journals logic. they neces-
snr;ly become Wing principles. VIII the Journal

concerned. Their Convention did adopt some sort of
platform, and if it failed in going far enough, it was
because of malign Influences, relative to which the
public mind had made no sufficient demonstrations
As to w~higgcry, the Journals logic is true, absurd us
it unquestionably is in this day of light and know
ledge. The Wing National Convention booted dorn
every effort of honest men to announce u code of
principles and measures. 1t proclaimed nothing, ex-
ccpt a determination to get the spoils Of office at any
sacrifice, or at the price of any personal and party
degradation. Demagogism and Dishonesty were its
only guides falsehood and chicanery its only means.
But as surely as "the wages Of sin is DEATH - so
will this shameful righteousness ultimately result in
the utter damnution of the Wing party.
Loss OF THE WHEAT CRoP AND RISE OF FLOUR.
From what we can learn from our farmers and
others we doubt whether there will be sufficient wheat
saved from the present crop for seed and to bread the
producers until another crop. Many have decided
not TO attempt to save any, and have turned their
stock into their wheat fields. The neighboring coun-
ties nre not much. if any better off, ms the following
extracts from our exchanges show. Flour has risen
from SO so per barrel to So so, and will doubtless
be higher before it is lower.
THE WHEAT CRoP.-In this county the wheat
crop is almost an entire failure. Hundreds of acres
will not be touched by the reapcrs. And that harvest
will not yield over half an average crop. Much of
1t was cut down during the wet days of last week,
and has become mildewed. The prospect for short
cake is flattering in this section.-Shebyuile Gaz.
Rust IN WHEAr.-We are informed by convers-
ing with farmers, that great portions of the wheat
crop in the neighborhood have been DESTROYED with
rust. Some fields are hardly worth cutting, and
others SO damaged Us to yield but the third of a crop.
Lafayette Journal.
CRoFs IN FRANKLIN CoUNTY.-The whoa, in this
county has been so severely affected by the rust, that
there will not be half q crop realized. We have
conversed with farmers from various parts of the
county, and the injury is represented to be general
in some cases whole fields are not worth harvesting.
The corn crop is very backward.-Br0okriae Dem.
The CRoPs.-We regret to learn that the prospect
of an abundant harvest in this county, has greatly d.
minished within the past ten days. Farmers from
many portions of the country are complaining of the
destruction of their crops by an insect, in some cases
said TO be weevil, and in others an insect hitherto un,
known. Rust is also doing damage in some quar-
tiers, but the most serious injury is caused by insects
Until recently the crops Of this sectiOn presented IN
unusually promising appearance, but we have lately
heard farmers remark that they do not look for more
than one half of TN average yleld.-TIin CO.. Adj
~rertiser.
THE WHEAT CRoP.-The wheat in a good portion
OF TINS county mas been SO badly injured by the rus
and other causes that it will not average more than O
fourth or third of n crop. Many farmers have found
it not worth cutting and are making the most of j
by opening the fields TO their stock. And Judging
from the complaints that reach US through our ex.
changes from many other portions of the State, the
failure is general. This must operate as n serious
drawback upon those who depend upon this crop as
one of the chief means for making sends meet

TERRIBLE DESTRUCTION OF THE WHEAT CRoP IN
OHIo.-The news pours in upon US from almost ever,
quarter of the State, by the terrible destruction of tn,
wheat crop, by rust and fly, (Red weavil.) Thou
sands upon thousands of acres arc not worth cutting
whole fields remain untouched by scythc or sickle
Our own wheat is a pretty fair crop, and about thu
only enc we know of in this region.-Ohio States

Per Contra.
The corn crop, Notwithstanding the backward
spring, is now coming forward finely, and the bs
opinion is, that the harvest will quite equal any eve
heretofore gathered in the State. The wheat croI
also comes in much better than was expected. Til
prospects Of our farmers are excellent. and this will
doubtless, be a year of profits in every branch of bust
ness.--SPrfngfsh (IA) Register.
