to those who camo after, but tho floor and

over with a smoothncss, absence Of noiso, that
we havo never soon surpassed on any other

tho limo is in tho best possible condition, as
may be inferred from tho fact that we passed
over sixty-two miles in ono hour and thirty
four minutes. We noticed that tho crops along

tire limo from Monroe to La Port passes

General Election in the Upper Penirs IA

II will be seen by tho act of tho last Legis-

laws of 81, pngo 3l4, that a general election
in tho Upper Peninsula, of this State, takes
place on the "last Tuesday, [tho 2Sthl of Sep

our friends to bo active. There is but six
weeks left for thom to work--fivo weeks less

aration; OF oe-y n,i'G1I r tln,
"Sec. 1. The people Of he State Of 1fichi-

The Objections to Gen. Scott.

We gather from the opposition papers that
thero arc four serious obstacles to tho election
of Gen. ScoTT.
2. He is suspected Of being opposed, at heart.
10 Me ertcnsion Of slarery.-That is bad. He
probably got into that way of thinking from
lighting good deal first and last, for freedom,
and from studying rather closely tho character
of our revolutionary heroes, who, il must bo
confessed, were somewhat prejudiced against
slavery. Perhaps this sin will bo forgiven him
by those who can look charitably on ancestral
feelings.
2. He ,could not fight duel.-That will work
sadly for him among rowdics who have moro
buster than brains, and moro brute courage
than conscience. There's difference of sem
timent on such points. Some men few years
ago did not consider dueling habit rec
ommcndation for a candidate Those. howey-
or, who would be willing to expose tho lives Of
two such men ns JACKSON and SCOTT in tho
settlement of private difficulty, will find this
an insupcrablo objection to voting for tho Whic
nominee Ho will have to 60 in without their
valuable support. Alack.
3. They say he is a Catholic We'll, if that
is true, IT will spoil him for such Protcstants as
regard creeds rs more important than crcdita-
bio lives, and years crowded full of valuable
public services.
4. They say he is Protestant-and that
will ruin him for any Catholic who rejects
PIERCE for tho samo cause.
To judge, however, from what is flashing in
from hamlet and village and city, and every
corner of tho land that has so often shared his
glory, and prosperity only as no has succeed
cd, tho masses arc concluding to circlo the
square of this four-fold objection, and gvo old
Chippewa chance at tho helm of our stanch
and sturdy ship Of State.-[N. Y. Times

Indian Corn and Irish Potatoes.

Our English papers by tho Africa, says the
y, Y, Times, represent tho sudden ro-appear-
ancc Of tho potatoo disease, which created such
an extensive and i'm many localities fatal mis-
chief throu ghout the United Kingdom, i'm ls-
40. How far tho owl will extend through
tho country, tho adviccs arc yet too imperfect
to judge. Tho London Timos, through an Ag
ricultural correspondent, reports that tho crop
in that vicinity shows unmistakeablo symp-
toms Of disease. . Tho leaves and stems ap-
pearng withered and burnt, and those signs
wore developed Immediately after "tho groat
thunder storm of Friday, 22d July" A Liv-
erpool paper states that in that neighborhood.
tho disease had boon fatally manifested for
several days previous to the sailing of the
steamer. In all cases ii had boon unusually
rapid in action; tubcrs which bad been porfect-
ly sound ten days before had since boon cut
of by tho blight, We 500 no report as vet. of
tho progress of the disease in Ireland. =
Our own Indian Corn crop-and probably
bread stoils generally-will, Of course, feel the
influence of this change to so important crop
as potatoes, on Tho other side Tho supplies
now in London, Liverpool, Sc. arc light. In
deed, the shipments from tho United States.
OF tho whole of tho current season, to end on
lst September, have been less by nearly ono
third less than last year; say from tho princi-
pal ports, 100000 bushels against Z. 200 900
bushels. This is owing TO tho rather limited
receipts at tide water, and tho partial fniure
OF tho crop, in como portions oftho country
the amount passed from tho West. through
tho Eric Canal to Albany, since the opening
of navigation on 2Oth of April, is only three
millions of bushels, against four and a half
millions to samep period in 1851. i--ai1
