Facing the Music.

II has been said that all discord is but har-
mony not understood" The music of OLE BULL
il considered only g tuning up" by rustic au-
ditor, and the caterwauing of nocturnal PROV
lers discourses most eloquent music" in the
ears Of the dismal tabby, whom it is intended to
charm To the initiated the recent discussions
and striking manifestations Of opposition among
the members Of the Democrats party on the
door Of Congress, would not produce the i'm
precision of an harmonious burst" or even
of "a tuning of the Instruments" They would
rather convince outsiders that the instruments
were out of tune, and the music" anything but
melody. Yet it would appear that the good
time is coming, when at the wave of the hand
of the leader of the orchestra the full band is TO
break forth into strain of ravishing sweetness
which is to pacify the pachcators, compromise
the State Rights men, soothe the old fogies
subdue the young Democracy, and last, though
not least,
Smoothe the raven down Of darkness,
Till il smile,
In the persons of the Freesoilers.
And this political millennium is to be brough
about by no new Orpheus, but by " that full
band" aiohen The Baltimore nomination Is uades
This prediction, or prophecy, was made in tn
House. few days since, by one Of the "eI
tremes"-a gentleman from Maine.
Mr.. APPLETON, in his speech in the House o.
the 18th Of March, said that what the Wing
listened TO there and imagined diseord, was onl
the tuning Of The insirumenfs "When the Bal
timore nomination is made" continued Mr.. Al
PLEror, we will give them harmonious burs
from that full band, whose music has drive
them often heretofore from the field Of battle.

EN- One Of the the most sensible and ortho-
dox speeches we have heard In Congress was
delivered yesterday in the House by Mr. NIGER
SOIL, of Connecticut. He asserted the right Of
the South to participation with the North in
territory acquired by joint conquest or purchase,
and he denounced the idea. Of compelling Sc
ceding State to subsection by federal bayonets,
as impracticable and abominable. A union of
the South. in support of the old republican doc
trine, might yet result in its restoration as
the fate of the federal government.
The Deficiency bill was passed in the House
by a majority Of about twenty-76 voting in
the negative. The Union approved its passage,
although majority Of the Democrats present
were opposed. We shall have to assume the or
ganship of the economical portion of both par
ties.
The Democrats who voted for the Deficiency
bill, defend themselves by saying that the Exc
cutive is responsible. The Wings defend the
President by saying that the bill passed House
where a majority are Democrats-and that if it
were extravagant or improper, the Democratic
party ought to have rejected it. And it is upon
no better shutting than this, that the millions
of public money are squandered in defiance of
law and constitution.
Mr.. WILLIAMS, Wing, of Tennessee, made a
speech yesterday, in the House, and proposed
that both parties should adopt the finaity of
the Compromise. And he threatened that if
the Wings did not, or nominated General ScoTT
without explicit avowals in favor of it, he would
not support the ticket. Such is the determina-
ton now expressed by large body of South
ern Wings. But, alas the North has heard so
much of Southern threats and resolutions. and
seen 80 little of the performance, that they no
longer produce even a sensation.
The late controversy has produced at least
one advantage. The power of words has been
tried and has failed. That's a considerable
step.

Corn and Coffou

The following information. derived from the
New York Commercial Reporter, will interest
many of our readers. The demand, both for
breadstuffs and for cotton, promises 70 be brisk.
both at home and abroad. These are encour.
aging tidings to the planting interest, and seem
based an reliable data.
"Prvate letters from England continue 10
speak OF considerable demand for American
cereals as likely TO occur. They do not promise
high prices, but firm and healthy market at
present quotations. In 1850, Great Britain i'm.
ported of all kinds of breadstuffs, the enormous
quantity of 72,874, 800 bushels, and in 1851.
77,48S,944 bushels. The Dry Goods Reporter
adds
"'Such was the immense quantity of grain
which England required, and she wants no less
this year, when the United States are the only
source of supply. But our supplies are abund.
ant, and increasing railroads and diminishing
tolls on the internal canals TO maintain trade
are deepening the channels for delivery, until
the ability of the United States to undersell
Europe in the Ecgish market in ordinary wears
is past doubt. The wealth which the Western
farmers will this year draw from England. will
probably exceed the best years of Southern
crops and ensure such a basis for business as
reflect upon Eastern manufacturing degree of
prosperity with which any former year will fail
to compare"
"Thus far in 1852, our exports of wheat and
corn are double those of the same months of
last year, while those Of -four will not long run
behind"
OF cotton, the Reporter says
"The price Of cotton remains pretty firm. not
withstanding that estimates for crop run as HIGH
as 100000 bales. The probability is, how
ever that notwithstanding the large receipts at
present. the crop will reach no such figure.
The winter all over the South has been favora-
BILE to hauling cotton to the river banks, and IL
now goes down freely with the rise in waters:
but there is now little or nothing tn go from
plantation. The chances are that the receipts
will cease early in the season, and that the crop.
at 270o,o0o bales, may average $40, making
SiOs 100000, which viii give vast sum 10
