The WHEAT CRoP.-In Ohio ad-
vices from all quarters OF the State
show that the Wheat crop OF the
present season will be the largest
ever grown In the State.
In New York, Indiana, Michigan
and Wisconsin the yield is also very
large, and the Wheat Of the very
best quality. The DetroitFree Press
says it has einformaiion from all
parts Of the State that crops OF every
description promise an abundant
yield to the farmers. Wheat har-
vest has already commenced in many
places, and the yield exceeds any,
thing ever known, even in Michigan.
In the northern and western parts
Of the State, and also in the Southern
tier Of counties, the Wheat crop is
said TO reach from one quarter to one
third higher than in any previous
season. Corn is a little backward,
Dur no fears are entertained for is
iafety, while summer grains Of every
description promises an abundant
'ield."
In the northern and central lii
lois heavy rams have destrOyeda a
,ortion of the crop, butin the south
rn portion Of the State il will be
bundant. '-E

rowing parts ol ths Union indicate

LEWIS ANDERSON, OF Lawrence.
To the State ticket we have added the
Senator for this district, and shall give
the ticket place in our paper each
week until the. election.
The candidates on the State ticket as
above presented, are all men of the rad
ical wing Of the party, and clearly in.
dicate who had control of the Conven-
ton. As we stated last week, the ticket
presented by the Democracy of GalIia
for Judges, was far too good to be sue
cessful with such men as manage the
cards of the party in the State. Ken
non and Swan, after they had dared to
pursue an independent course in the
Convention, receive a nomination
from Convention of radicals. What
matter il they are upright men and
the abIest lawyers that can be found
on the list Of candidates presented,
they do not subscribe fully to the
progressive, leveIing platform Of the
"Young Democracy" and they can't
come in. The conservative members
were out-voteG, and they have no
part or lot in the ticket.
Those Democrats who were desi-
rous that the Supreme Judges should
be selected without reference to par
ty lines, will hardly claim that the
Democratic equals the Whig ticket
in point Of fitness and ability. But
the great objection 20 the majority
OF those named for Judges by the
Convention, is that on all the hume.
rous questions that will probably
arise under the new Constitution,
they are in fact committed to cer-
tain construction. The design OF
the majority Of the party, with and
Of which are these nominees, is by
judicial construction and legislative
action, TO accomplish what they
could not in the constitutional Con-
vention-supPly the want Of radical
sIenents. The peculiar recommend
lation Of Geo. E. Pugh, the nominee
or Attorney General, urged upon
ihe Convention by a DELEGATE from
was that the said Pugh's
only objection 10 the Constitution
was its want Of rsdicalism. Alter
this statement he was nominated
without further objection. The aim
