gainst traitors and treason. He said ii was
important 10 understand that the Government
Of the United States is government of force
as we'll as Of law, and would maintain itself
against all traitors.
Mr. Berrien thought the most effective way
OF destroying the Union, was TO use threat s
Of employing military force TO put down the
movements Of n minority.
Mr. Foote, IN reply, referred 10 the employ
ment Of force to pul down the Hays rebell'
ion in Massachusetts, after the Revolution.
Mr.. Berricn was explaining this, when,
| Mr.. Winthrop rose and said that Massa>
cLusets had put down that rebellion by her

enough in its government 10 suppress it with
out the aid Of the General Government.
Finally the vote was taken and Mr. Foote's

THE CROPS OF THE UNION
A CHEERING PROSPECT

From all parts OF the Union the accounts
arc favorable. As a people we have cause
to be grateful, Abundance characterizes The
land. The grain crops of the present year
ARE likely 10 be enormous. We quote a few
paragraphs from the various sections, TO
show the uniformity of language upon this
important subject. The Springfield, Mass,
Republican says:
"The grass, in this region Of lhe Connec-
ticul valley, has been mostly cut, and large
proportion of it has been capitally cured and
housed. In the hill towns, back from the
river, only the more forward home lots have
been moved, but there, as here, the crop is
very heavy, and there will be no lack of hay.
Potatoes are looking iolerably WE'LL Corn
looks well, but is very backward. Upon
localities where usually, at this time in the
lycar, the car has been formed, we find the
plants only beginning 10 show The tasse.-
Rye in the vicinity, though not showing de-
cidcdly light crop, is not heavy. The same
may be said OF oats, both having been injured
by The late cold rains Of sprung. II is BELLE
we'd that favorable summer and autumn, to
finish out the growing and harvesting season,
will, Notwithstanding their present backward.
ness, bring forward the corn and potatoes to
fine CROP"
Within the past len days, says the Cincin.
natl Gazette, we have received statements
iiom all the States of this section Of the u
mon, and while none Of them speak Of less
than an average yield in any locality, many
say that the crop in particular districts will
be Of full average size, while not few speak
Of considerable sections wherein will be gars
nered much more than the usual average. -
And moi only is the crop large one, but it
is also very good one. The grain is spok-
en- Of universally as round, plump and heavy.
10 one or two localities lille rust has been
spoken Of; but il appeared late, and was con-
fined TO The straw, and nowhere have we seen
any mention made OF sick wheat In Penn
sylyania also, with the exception of few
counties where the weevi was al work, the
yield will be large.
The Louisville journal says:- "a gentle.
man who arrived here on the Bostona yesier.
day informs US that within The last few weeks
The cotton and corn crops have SO much i'm !.
proved that in many places full average
crops are now expected 10 be made"
Ia our own State, Pennsy Ivania, every
thing wears cheering appearance The
fusi has affected few fields Of wheat, but
they are as nothing in the general aggregate.
Looking at the prospect throughout The nu-
tion, wo repeat that we have the greatest
reason 10 be grateful.
