WHEAT. All our accounts represent the wheat
crop, for amount and quality, as unprecedented
IN the country; and on thrashing the wheat
turns out better even than was anticipated. OF
course, prices rule low, with downward ten
dency. The Cincinnati Gazette SAYS that the
Wheat Of the Whitewater Valley is beginning
to come TO market. Its quality is good. The
farmers are running it 10 the towns along the
line OF the canal quite briskly. The market at
these several places has opened at 60 cents per
bushel; price which is considered fair there.
and which it is thought will continue. A de-
cline IS anticipated rather than an advance. At
Cincinnati, the current rate is IS cents
AT Louisville the receipts arc fair, and prices
range at 10, -, and so cents. AtAlton, Illinois,
the sales large, and the best quality is quoted
at 20 cents per bushol. AT st. Louis, the re-
ceipts are heavy, and prices range from 73 to 81
cents, according to quality. At Sandusky City,
100000 bushels have already been received, the
highest price being 7S cents. On the 2lst, the
Sandusklan reports sales of 5000 bushels, to be
put on ship board, at 73 cents 1000 at II, and
2O,OO0 at private terms. On the afternoon Of
the 2lst, the Mirror says buyers offered but IS
cents. The eceipts al Sandusky OH the Goth
were IL, 500 bushels.
The Buffalo Commercial Advertiser, on the
alst reports sale of 33, 900 bushels not prime
at rs cents. The market review says: {" 1t
seems 10 be the general impression that prices

mlllers come into the market with reluctance,
and purchase sparingly, barely sufficient to keep
their mills in operation choosing to defer laying
in their winter stock till the market has found
its level, and prices become more settled"
From these statistics, our farmers will be able
to Judge of the prices which will rule this year
If there is a good crop abroad wheat must go
very low, as there is more in the country than
can be consumed The only remedy is to in
crease home consumption by increasing manu-

" We The Compromisers.

1t seems after all that it is as difficult to deter
mine who "We the Compromises" actually
were, as ''We the people" of New Mexico.
Here on the floor of the Senate, the great
driver of the Omnibus declared with impressive
solemnty, "There are no Abolitionists in our
Omnibus" that is owning to the name--yet the
moment the capsize takes place, the conductor
creeps out of the window, in the person of the
Editor Of the New York Tribune, whose odor OF
Abolitonism will scarcely be questioned.
And thus apostrophises he, standing over the
fragments, like Marius amid the Ruins of Car
thage:

The American UniOiis

Il is not often that the English papers
appear to have any correct idea OF our po-
litical institutions and the nature OF our
Union, bu, in the following extract Of an
article from the London Times, that paper
properly appreciates the inherent strength
sGssssssy sqa !ss ssssEd which
"The maintenance Of the integrity of
the Union is to the people Of the United
States very like what the maintenance Of
the British constitution Is to ourselves.
A hundle ed times over, in the jargon Of
parties, or the heat of battle, the Union,
has been dissolved, and the sun OF the
Constitution has set for ever. But though
this catastrophe is denounced as the inevi-
table resul, of every grand contest, in the
one country as in the other-in the fede-
raj republic and in the Constitutional
Monarchy-such results would be equally
unwelcome and alarming to every party
to the States. The Americans use great IL
cense in what we must call a,nicable hos
tility;-,hey fight with each other in all
the ardor of the domestic passions: but
they have too lively sense Of the in
caculable advantages they derive from
their Union TO sacrifice that great political
power to any accident Of occasional war
| fare. Nothing is more remarkable, or
more creditable to the American people,
than the fact that, in spite Of their reck-
lessness and bold character, their wide
and numerous divisions, and their unlimi-
ted freedom, these States have remained
at peace with each other since the decla-
ration Of independence. That is more
than can be said of any other Confedera-
ton know to history. The Greek States
of antiquity waged constitutional war upon
each other; the Italian States Of the middle
ages were incapable Of league; even 'r
our own day we have seen one-th'rd o
the Swiss cantons subdned by an army o.
thei. confedera,e>; and the Germanic Con
federation presents melancholy picture
of an editice in ruins. The United State:
alone have retained the sacred deposit ol
the. national peace inviolate, under th'
sanction of common respect for su
preme authority. That is their chic
strength and their chief glory. From the
aggression or hostility OF European Pow
ers they have nothing to fear; but 1t eve
the evil time should come when local in
teres,s or passions prevail over the public
law, and disruption Of the Union shonl'
ensue, il is no, TOO much 10 predict tina
the whole face of the North American
continent would be changed, the habit
and necessities of war would predominant
over those OF peace, the institutions wh'cf
now suit the people would become 'mposs
sible or insufficient, and the New Worl
would, in time, exhibit but melanchol
, parody of the follies and errors whic
have so long afflicted the older habi,ation
Of mankind.

THE ANNOYER.

0Common a. light is love,
Ind its familiar voice wearies not ever."-Shelles
Love knoweth every body's house,
And every human haunt,
And comes, unbidden everywhere,
Like people we don't want.
The turnpike roads, and little creeks,
Are written with Loves words,
And you hear his voice like thousand bricks
In the lowing Of the herds.
He peeps into the Transfers heart,
From his Buena Vista's rim,
And the cracking whips Of many men
Can never frighten him.
He'll come to his cart in the weary night,
When he's dreaming of his croft;
And he'll float to his eye in the morning light,
Like man on a river raft.
He hears the sound of the cooper's adz,
And makes him too his dupe,
For he sighs in his ear from the shaving pile
As he hammers on the hoop.
The little girl, the beardless boy,
The men that walk or stand,
He will get them all in his mighty arms
Like the grasp Of your very hand.
The shoemaker bangs above his bench,
And ponders his shining awl,
For Love is under the lap-stone hid,
And spell is on the wall.
It heaves the sole where he drives the pegs,
And speaks in every blow,
'Til the last is dropped from his crafty hand,
And his foot hangs bare below.
He blurs the prints which the shopmen sell,
And intrudes on the latter's trade.
And profanes the hostler's stable-yard
In the shape of the chambermaid.
In the darkest night, and the bright daylight,
Knowing that he can win,
In every home of good-looking folks
Will human Love come in.
