From the Monmouth, N. J. Democrat.

Mn. EpIroR: had the pleasure of being in
Princeton, on Tuesday, the 25th ult., being the
day previous to the commencement of the College,
and listened with much delight to an eloquent
address delivered before the Literary Societies OF
Nassau Hall, by the Hon. David s. Kaufman, a
Representative in Congress, from the State OF
Texas. He presented TO the young gentlemen
who were about TO graduate, in vivid colors, the
dangers and temptations which may crowd their
paths, in their varied journeying in pursuits of
future eminence, and warned them in a voice of
feryid eloquence, to beware of the political dema-
gogue, of whatever party, or to whatever creed
he may profess to belong, and | have no doubt
but some OF the wounded pigeons are auttering
under the severe castigation which they received.
Mr. Kaufman being Northern man by birth,
and Southerner by adoption, gave him good
ground to make few remarks on the slavery
question:, which now agitates the Union. He
contrasted the condition of the African race in the
South and in the North, in fair, open, and indie
pendent manner, and not much to the advantage
of the latter, for which he was warmly applauded
by large and fashionable audience--even the
venerable fathers OF the College, together with
many distinguished strangers, seemed to sanction
by their smiles, the manly eloquence and emerge
tic style Of the distinguished speaker. Well may
the lone star State be proud of her adopted son
and able representative, and know that he will
always find cordial welcome to the classic
bowers of his old Alma Mater.

h CorToN CRoPs.--Accounts are pouring in upon
us from all section of the State, Of the disastrous
appearance of the Cotton crops. The public
mind abroad has beenincredulous in consequence
Of statements, circulated in previous seasons, to
auctuate prices. But the present is beyond all
matter Of speculation, facts are too apparent to
admit Of doubt in regard to its present condition.
and the season is too far advanced to build on a
hope for the future. We have taken particular
pains to collect the most reliable information from
the principal cotton growing districts Of the State,
and all agree in the general tenor of gloomy pros
poets. l. n ftga
One writer informs US that the cotton fields in
the southwestern part of the State present an APP
pearance Of actual blight, which may be attribute
ed to the GOODNESS in the early part Of the season
which deprived it of its healthy start; then the
long continued drought, which produced AN UNI
healthy appearance I; and now the ravages of the
lice '' -. i, e"
We have also accounts from Louisiana, Tenne-
see, Mississippi and Alabama, all of which are
equally discouraging rs.a.1,. =.
The Cotton crops, in some sections of the State,
is said to look promising, while in others it has
suffered in consequence of the drought.--Sauan-

zette says: ...
We discover that there is a difference of up
wards of three thousand hogsheads of Tobacco,
between this and the last year up to the first Of
July, inspected in Baltimore. This difference will
60 on increasing largely every month, from, the
most diligent inquiries we can make, we feel quite
sure that almost the entire crop has been sent to
market--underth the impression that the spring pri-
ces would be high, our Planters generally sent
forward their crops very early. We had always
supposed that the last year crop was small one
but we are now satisfied it will prove to be one of
the shortest that was ever made in Maryland
This, together with the failure of crop this year,
almost every where an event now reduced quite to
certainty, ought to have decided influence upon
prices. The Planters should be in no hurry to sell
at the present reduced prices, as rise in prices
may, now, be reasonably anticipated.

The CorTos CRop.-We learn from the Shield
that committee of the Eufaula Agricultural
Club, appointed to examine and report upon the
prospects of the crops in that vicinity, visited
about the middle of June number of plantations
on the Chattahooche river, above and below Eu-
faula. The cotton crop, it stated, is more back
ward than'w ever known at this season of the
year-he plant is very small in many places still
bears an unhealthy appearance, and stands gene
rally very deficient, on some farms lan,entably So
This committee regards the entire cotton crop at
least three weeks later than usual, and under no
circumstances, can.more than two-thirds Of a crop
be made. The planters ut that time were suffer-
ing from drought. The best piece Of cotton the
COMMITTEES saw was on MIR. Rogers plantation,
growing on fresh land and was only about one
foot high. ,s. .e Ri AID -s

HARD TO PLEAsE.--The remarks of the various
presses North and South upon the final action of
the Nashville Convention are not little amusing.
Those who asserted that its object and purpose
was to plot the dissolution of the Union. and
whose wish was father to the thought, admit that
it turned out by no means what they had sscrack d
1t up to be''-they now say that its proceedings
were tame, its address common place, its resolu-
tions bundle of truisn,s, and that its work, as
whole, is not calculated to produce an impression
upon the country. A distinguished Northern
paper. at fault for something to complain of
against the convention, says, in anticipation of
the question, what has the convention done, sit
has adjourned!'' A vindication Of Southern
rights and recommendation Of an efficient mode
Of redressDg Southern wrongs was the last thing
IN the world that the same paper desired to see.
Other Northern papers dispose of it with sheer,
because II has not proved a second Hartford con-
venton, or Joined their conferees in the South, in
declaring that Its doings will produce no effect on
the country.
The dignity, moderation, and forbearance Of
the Convention have met the Just expectations OF
its friends. The Missouri Compromises il the
