JUDGE DouGLAss.-The noble stand taken by,
Juuge DougiasS,in defence of the fugitive slave law
IS deserving OF all praise. The reading of the ac-
counts o! his magnanimous appeal to the judgments
anu hears OF the people Of Chicago, in mass meet
ing assembled, wherein he bearded at once the RAM
pant non OF aboltonism in his den, and beat down
that monster beneath the Constitution and laws of
the lnd has greatly encouraged us to hone that the
Union may yet escape the peril that threatened it,
The conduct Of Judge Doug las S. in mo oral heroism
ana III sublime patriotism, is surpassed in few if
IN any instances IN the history of the Repuhlic-
He went into the midst of population run mad
against the fugitive slave lava population where
the public sentiment had inundated the officers of
the general government, who sought escape from
the odium supposed to attach to their duties by re-
signation-a population whose municipal govern
ment had openly nuliifed the act Of Congress and
tied the hands ofits officers to prevent the ex-
ecution of the laws OF the land. He went into the
midst of such populaionfull of anathemas against
himselifrom the overlowing gall of abolitionism,
full Of the degrading charges against him that he
had ''sneaked away from his seat' to avoid voting
for the fugitive slave law, nd boldly deed the pop
ular phrenzy; avowed his friendship for the law,
anu assumed all the responsibility of vote in ia
vor OF N.whiCh he declared he would have given if
he had been presents and what is better, justified
himself ana justified the law, and obtained the yer.
d!ct OF the people against abolitonism and in favor
Of the constitution and laws!
II was MOLLY done was heroically done: and
Judge Douglass deserves the unbounded applause
of every man who loves his country,who loves This
republic, who loves the memories of the past and
the bright hopes of the future.
rejoices our hearts to see such noble exhihi-
uoh OF patriotism. 1t Is superior to ANYTHING of
cool, senatorial courage that the country has wit.

The hOg crop.


Spectators are busy making their calculations as
TO the probable quantity hogs likely to be saugh-
tered this fall. There is variety of opinions as
to the effect that the scarcity and high prices of
corn during the summer will have upon the number
brought to the blocks. A correspondent of mer-
camille house i'll Indianapolis who has been visit
ing the principal points the Illinois and MissS-
sippi rivers where hogs packed, gives it as his
opinion that if So 80 is paid, it win bring all the
hogs to market. This estimate is too low. in our
opinion. In ST Louis, shippers are paying $3,00to
$500 per hundred 1t is true that the corn crop
was never finer, and at some points there is great
increase Of hogs last year, but i'll other places
there is deficiency arising from the failure of last
years crop of corn.
The Madison (Ind.) Courier says:
We have nothing reliable yet as TO prices. There
is difference Of fifty cents per 100 lbs III the views
of feeders and packers the first hold with iImnes SIS
| for So so, the later talk about So.
| There is hardly doubt of the crop being short
in this State. There have been abou. IL, 0G0 hogs
engaged in this city the prices have not trans
PRED probably SO, and the rise up to the first OF
| December. The packers here are determined to
have their share of the crop, which has been fixed
| at 100000 head.
We can only give an opinion. which may amount
only to guess. We believe, then, that the open
i'll. price in this city will be 50 70. This price
may not be sustained, owing to the great amount OF
! the product OF the hog held over in the hands OF
Cincinnati dealers.
