FRANCE-THF CROPS

1 ne quality OF the wheat crops be more
exactly ascertalned, considerable amount of new
wheat IS already in the market, and sufficient por-
ton made into flour. The produce of the present
year Is not equal to that of ISIS, which was how
ever exceptional; but the crop is considered as an
average one in the departments round Paris, and an
ordinary one in the rest of France. In the depart
ment OF the Loire the wheat is one-tilth less in
quantity and inferior in quality to that of an ordi-
nary year. Meslin (miXed corn) is inferior by one
fourth, rye by one-halt barley by one-eighth, but
oats are superior by one-thrd to ordinary year

Hear a TAYLOR Paper Sneak.

The New York Herald, an independent
or neutral paper, originally for Taylor,
and the first to nominate him for President,
thus speaks ofthe administration at Wash
ington: 5I.
"After all, the melancholy truth is not to
be disguised-cannot be controverted-is
not to be nicely, and snugly, and happily
covered over with the wet blanket of OBJ
livion-that this administration-this very
administration which was ushered into ex-
istence under such favorable auspices, and
amid the cordial acclamations of a patriot
ic people-has not met the public expec-
tations. Already there are, far and wide,
indications presenting themselves which
point to. great and general discomfort and
disappointment We hear, afar off, mur.
murs which threaten to swell, hereafter, in.
to loud and distinct utterance of dissatis.
faction and opposition. ltwould seem as
if the popular masses were almost ready
to exclaim, addressing this administration
'We called for bread, and ye have given
us stone; we asked for fish, and ye have
given us a Scorpion" ,"
The spirit of democracy. [volume] (Woodsfield, Ohio) 1844-1994, 1849-08-11

OF The difference between the number
of democratic and whig clerks at Wash
ington city, when President Taylor went
into Office, if we recollect Alright, was less
than sixty. We would like some one to
tell us how many democrats will be left in
Office when this no-proscripton" admins
tration goes out of power! At the present
rate of removals it will take about month
longer to make a clean sweep.
Mr.. Crittenden said, when advocating
the claims of Gen. Taylor, that the General
hated, nag, loathed prescription, and that
he would as soon run from Mexican as
to turn man out of office because he was
democrat. Verify Mr.. Crittenden is a
great prophet

conferred upon Mr.. ARcHBoLD, at various
times, by his fellow citizens-all of which
he filled with ability, and rendered general
satisfaction; but in none has he gained
more honor for himself or credit to his
constituents, than in that Of Senator. No
measure has been introduced into the
Senate, since he has been a member of
that body, which had for its object the ag-
grandizement or further enrichment of the
monied few, at the expense of the toiling
masses, but found in him decided and
determined opponent;-always taking his
position on the side of the People, in OPP
position to the money-power. Nor was
his influence unfelt; as the defeat of many
favorite measure of the wings clearly de-
monstrates. Even his political opponents
were forced to consider him one of the
most acute, learned and profound lawyers
upon the floor of the Senate. He labored
most diligently in his Legislative duties;
and more important statutes originated
with him than with any other member of
the Senate. The Statute Book and the
Journal will attest his well-earned fame.
Such is EDWARD ARcHBoLD, Esq, upon
whom horde of whig slanderers have
opened their batteries of abuse. But why
regret this attack upon him by the sohig
press9 Is it not the strongest evidence Of
his superior merit as democrat! And
does it not plainly show that the wings fear
and dread his return to the Senate? Fain
would they that some less influential and
more plant democrat Gf democrat it must
be) should be returned from this district;
and they are, therefore, endeavoring to
create some dissension in the ranks of the
democracy. But such attacks will recoi
upon the libellers themselves. Their cen.
sure is the highest praise; his well-earned
reputation cannot be injured by theil
slanders. The venom of the whig press
will point out to the democracy the mar
whom they should delight to honor. 1t i:
no common merit to have acquired SC
much of the hostility of the whig party.
Mr.. Editor, you will please pardon mt
for occupying so large space in you

worthy citizens of our State.
