The Wing National Convention to assem-
bic next summer will, of course, contain an
equal number of votes: and the probable
manner in which they will be cast in that
nominating body has been the subject of no
little speculation. 1t is perhaps too early to
form any very reliable conclusion, yet we
think the following cannot be reasonably
controvcred by the aid of any lights yet
before the public.
Fifteen States, viz:-Maryland, Virginia,
North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia,
Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana,
Arkansas, Missouri, Tennessee, Kentucky,
Texas and California, will cast their entire
vote in Convention making l22 in all-iol
Mr.. Fillmore. This is only 26 less than q
majority, which cannot hardly fail to be much
more than made up from the other States
Indeed, il is more than probable that out OF
the remaining l73 votes he will receive At
least fifty on the first ballot, and nearly 100
should there be second, thus placing hi'
nomination beyond all contingencies. But u,
all events he cannot fail we'll to get the SINAI
number requisite for a majority. =.
We therefore look upon MIR. Fillmore
nomination, as almost certain.

Scott Licensing Gamblers.

A few years ago, and, according to whig
testimony, Gen. Scott's brains were all in his
epaulets, and his adoption as the candidate of
any party would pile upon it such mass of
concet and weakness as to insure It's break
down. Now it is different. &c Fuss and
of the present. Some very pious wings derive
very much satisfaction on account of having
such pious candidate. Let such wings refer
to the record, and see Gen. Scott in the city
of Mexico issuing licenses to the most eaten
siue gambling houses, which are kept publicly
open night and day. No sooner had General
Scott established his headquarters. than he is
sued an order proposing to issue licenses for
gambling houses. Under this order several
large gambling houses were opened, one was
called the Lafayette House, and in the language
of an officer then present, "these hells did
more to demoralize the army than all other
causes combined The rules and regulations
of the army strictly prohibit gambling of all
kinds; yet not only gambling was extensively
carried on, but liquor was sold 10 the young
men of the army, many of whom were minors,
and every species of dissipation followed as the
consequence, and that loo within sight of the
quarters of the commander-n-chief. The ex-
cuse given by Gen. Scott was, that it brought
in revenue TO the army Golfers. What an ex-
cusel A revenue for the use of the army by
denoraH@ing the soldiers. The truth of the
matter was, the commander-in-chief charged
three and a half per cent. for the licenses, and

nifty at least, meets with your approval, you
will do favor by publishing it.

whether he does or does not think, that every
person from early youth up to the age of ftwen-
tY-one, should have some time in The course of
every day To devote TO relaxation, exercise, So
cial amusement, self-cuture and Improvement,
one and all would answer in the affirmative
At this season of the year, the evenings are
very long, often stormy, dark, and otherwise
uncomfortable, and so will continue for months
to come. Now taking the average of sunset at
five O'Clock for the ensuing five months, what
can be the objection to closing all the stores at
halEpast seven. Laborers will then have an
hour and half for trading, and an hour for
tea, while the young man leaving the store can
attend lectures, study, join the home circle, or
otherwise dispose of his time, as best suits
him. We frequently hear employers say that
they would gladly shut up, even earlier than
this, did not some neighbor persist in late
hours. If all shut up together, all would re-
,ceive the same share of trade, and of course
the same amount of goods must be Sold
There is one objection which would be urged
and that is this. Says Mr.. A, 81 prefer
to have my young men with me in my store,
TO giving them an opportunity to dissipate and
carouse." "But,' remarks Mr.. b, who is
our friend, 81 am as much opposed to dissipa-

to self culture are driven from it by the lack of

,half-past, will not amount to anything at home

On the 29th ult., the Club had a large and
spirited meeting at the Town House, and was
eloquently addressed by Hon. JAMES w. BRAD
BURY.
Mr.. Bradbury commenced his address BY
portraying in his peculiarly happy and vivid
manner the situation of the country at the time
of the compromise measures-sh showing their
necessity, and demonstrating the folly of slavery
agitation. He then traced the origin of parties
in this country, and showed the Democracy 10
be the party of liberal principles and of pro-
gress-the party of economy and strict con-
struction of the constitution. He vindicated
Gen. Pierce fromshe foul charges of his oppo-
nents, and closed with stirring appeal to his
audience to support at the polls this first New
England candidate for the Presidency.
The speech of Mr.. Bradbury was one of the
most eloquent and stirring appeals to the De
mocracy that we have heard during the present
campaign, and was received with marked eff
fects.

The Season.

Although the season has seemed unpropi-
tious, and we have experienced one of the most
severe and long continued summer ,sdroush,s
the gathering of the latter harvest shows that
in quality and the season has been an
average one in the productions Of crops. For
months the heavens were as brass, affording
hardly drop of rain to invigorate and fertil-
ize the parched earth. To all human appear
anee, famine stared us in the face, and man,
naturally prone to distrust and complain, re-
pined at the allotments of Providence. But
He who declared "seed time and harvest shall
not fall, has been better to man than his fears,
demonstrating now in the in+gathering harvest
that "He doeth all things we'll"
The only really short crop of the season, is
hay. About two-rhirds of crop has been
raised, but the deficiency will be- severely felt.
The article will bring double price in our
principal markets. Already it is up to SIG
per ton, and it must be good cow that shall
pay for wintering. Cows have been sold re-
Gently for 50, and farmers generally are reduc-
ing their stock to their means. The man who
attempts to winter some of the horse frames
seen in our streets, will show himself to be a
bad calculator. But farmers will lie able, by
an economical use of hay, which is Of quality
better than usual, and good yield of root
crops, to winter nearly their usual amount of
stock. TIE danger is that they will be in
duced by the tempting price of hay to sell of
too much stock. and thereby injure their farm
ing prospects another season.
The corn crop is abundant. We have known
of some instances where the yield has been
over fifty bushels to the acre. Corn is not SO
much affected by drought as other crops
The roots dig deep, and abstract moisture far
below the surface. -a ..I lA
Potatoes are potatoes this year Their
mealy, bursting popularity puts us in mind of
olden time. The crop is fair as to quantity,
and the disease prevalent in the potato
fields for ten years past, has almost entirely
disappeared. .s.... -..t g..
Root crops generally will come in we'll, and
never was there season when they could be
put to better use. -. .
Apples will be abundant. Baldwin trees
hang full, the branches almost touching the
ground under the weight of the fruit. Taken
all in all, the latter harvest is good one and
we see no reason why the good old fashioned
Thanksgiving soon to come off should not be
celebrated with as much fervor of mind and
appetite as usual.
