The WEATHER AND THE WHEAT CROP
During the past two weeks the weather has
been the most inauspicious for the season of
harvest. 1t has been warm, rainy and sui
try, with but little sur during the whole
time. From present indications, the farm
ers must sustain a heavy loss from damage
done to the wheat after reaping. We have
conversed with several gentlemen recently

LErrER FROM THE Hon. JOHN JAMEsoN.-
We call especial attention to the following
letter from the Hon. John Jameson to 1t.
Governor Thos. L. Price. 1t is in reply to
a letter from the latter gentleman, written,
no doubt, for the purpose of securing his
concurrence in favor Of Benton, and to be
used to prop him in his present awkward
position before the Democracy of Missouri.
But. alas! the letter instead of a good old
Democratic prop for the %treacherous Sena-
tor, we see in it nothing but a bludgeon,
welded BY a hurculean arm to beat the re-
bellious Senator into obedience or out of
the Senate. Every body in this Congress
sional District, ~atleass, knows who the Hon.
John Jameson is, and where he has always
been found. Lest any one should have for.
gotten him, We will merely add hat she IS

SIeNIF1cANri-"STRAws SHOW WHICH
WAY THE WIND B1ows."-The ST. Louis Re-
publican Of the 18th inst, says: "We are
indebted to Co. Benton for a copy Of his
at Boonville." In the next days
Republican 10th the speech appears, and
reads thus:
cat two o'clock, the court house was
"crowded, and as many at the windows as
"could find room. Col. Benton made lis
to the citizens of Cooper and Of
"Boonville, for the kind invitation they had
him, and the full attendance with
"which they had honored him,"&c.
The conclusion of the speech reads as
"blr. B. concluded with thanks to the au-
"dience for their great attention, which had
sheen profound during the whole speech,
"only interrupted by their W applauses,
sand received, as soon as it was over, the
.''hearty congratulations and cordial shake
"of the hand of his old aud NEW FRIENDS
"present."
Col. Benton It is well known always writes
out his speeches before their delivery, and
the inquiry arises whether he did not on the
o occasion of this speech, do the same thing,
and was not this speech sent to the Repub-
.lican prepared by his own hand, putting self,
glorifcation and all? Again, who are the
new friends to whom the Col alludes? p
Who are they-Democrats? they are his
old friends. Pray tell US who are the ncw
friends? Are we to have in Missouri an
other marriage like that solemnized between
the houses of Kinderhook and Braintree--
between Van BureD and Adams at Buffalo
last year. Are the houses Of Benton and
Bates to be united in the bonds of love?-
Verify, if "Montague" and "CapuIet" do
not make peace, it will not be the Colonel's
fault. Come, little Neddy, kiss Corinthian
Tom, and be friends! Q.

been the cause of the delay in sending this.
I came to the conclusion this morning, that
it might probably be better not to have my
reasons at length for opposing Col. Benton
in his appeal, published at this time; but if
it becomes necessary, have it done hereaf-
ter. take the ground, LIST, That the Leg
~islature was the proper power to instruct
that he had no right to appeal from the in
structions given-that he was bound to obey
or resign; that his refusing beforehand 10
obey or resign, was precisely the same in
principle, as having already violated in
structions-and that according to the first
great and fundamental principle of Democ-
racy-the right of instruction, no excuse
was or can be good, for his course in this
matter,-end that so far as the Democracy
were concerned, it was an issue between
the man, and principles-If they followed
the man they deserted principle, and IT they
followed principle they deserted the man.
I'd. take the ground if any excuse is good,
he has not assigned any that are good lnthls
case upon this | dwelt at some length,
showing that they are so many evasIons, to
get around the main issue, and to raise 9TH
er issues to lead off the mind from the main
one; and 3rd. discuss the WilmOt Ploriso
and give it as my opinion, from all the
lights before me, including his speech, that
he is in favor of that Proviso, particularly
from that fact stated in his speech that
New Mexico and California were now free
of slavery, and he wonld not go for send
ing it there-and if he was not, it would be
easy for him to say so, in so many words
without equivocation, so that his friends
might have no ground to disagree as to his
views on that question. then wind mp by
deploring the condition he has placed his
and the party in, and call upon you
as an old friend and firm democrat, to take
a calm review of the whole matter.
