TIE WEATHER, CGors, &c,,-The
abundance Of rain which has fallen dur.
ing the last few weeks has ensured a fair
crop of corn in this county. The pota-
to crop will be small, the earlier vines
having been too lar destroyed by the
drought before the rains commenced;
la'e patches will do tolerably we'll.
BucEwheat, of which but little is sown,
looks well. Apples are very scarce.
Peaches are not very abundant, and sell
at 81 a bushel. The nights have been
COO! for a week past, with hot suns at
midday. Farmers are busy rloughing
taIlow and preparing for their wheat
crop, TO which great attention is now
paid. Guano is in great demand, and
many who want cannot obtain it, Lime
is still pouring into the county from the
kilns in all directions.

THIS CON aRESSIONAL DISTRICT.

tf7lms o. faTfy anu O Ihd'cidu0tS.
The Wing county convention, as will
elsewhere be seen, appointed delegates
to a congressional convention for this
District, the time and place Of holding
which, have not yet been named. We
suppose one will be called, however, and
if 50, our delegates will be ready to at
tend.
We ore frequently asked if Mr.. Evans
is TO be the whig candidate, and we hear
the opinion from time to time advanced
that having had from the party, when
the district was strongl y whig. the nomi-
nation three times in succession, and
having been thrice elected. he ism honor
bound to run now that the aspect of
things have changed, if the party desire
it. This conclusion might seem just
enough if it were not founded on prelnl
SOS entirely incorrect.
In TIE last district of which Cecil
formed part, five congressional cleo
tionS were held-the first in February
1914 when Preston (wiig) beat Consta-
bic by 7 majority, which did not de-
termne the district to be rery strongly
wing. In October 1878, Constable beat
Wright 1S9 maj; that made it rather
strongly locoloco. In lSl7 the nomi.
nation was forced on Mr.. Evans, at a
time when it was supposed Mr.. ConSta-
bic would be the opposing candidate
the opinion at the time being general,
that the latter could not be defeated by
Ay whig in the district. We say the
nomination was forced on Nj. f., for be
in no manner sought it, and tried to de-
cline it: he sent friend to the lower
counties TO withdraw his name, which
would nave been done bad there ben
time for another convention. 1t so turn

NoWLANp&VILLE, Aug. 20. 'J3.
Ma. EDlroH Il would admonish all
persons to look we'll to their doors and
windows as there appears to be a gang
of Burglars proving drought the
county. Several suspicious looking frl-
lows have been seen in this neighbour
hood during the week past, and on Mon
day night a party, the number not
known certainly, entered house at
New MeMc6; adjoining the residence OF
John Rawlings Esq, and before detect
ed, succeeded IN removing a suit of
clothes with some other articles.

alarm, the occupants of the adjoining
residence with those near by arose and
after pretty severe conflict, succeeded
in capturing one OF the Williams. On Of
The party was compelled to FIRST fell him
with a stone before he could be brought
TO submit, and afterwards be used the
most daring and insulting resistance.
No person who has yet seen him has any
knowledge Of him. An officer near by
was immediately on the spot, and as
soon as possible with some assistance,
started in pursuit Of his accomplices,
bat up to tins time we have not heard of
their being captured. 1t will be we'll
for all to be on their guard.

What is Democracy I?

The Buffalo Republic, a Democratic
paper, asks this question, and answers
it in the following definite and compre-
hensve manner: Like all other names
of things, it implies whatever the people
mean who use it, in the particular
country where it is used" We have
never heard a more complete definition
OF the term "Democracy" from any
source than this from an organ Of De-
mocracy. ut implies whatever the
people mean who use it, in the partIcu-
lar part Of the country where it is used ~
We always thought Democracy an india
rubber cloak, that could be stretched in
to shape to cover all sorts of political
doctrines in any latitude. Ia MaSSa-
chusettS it implies CoalitiOnlsm; IN New
York it implies Hunkerism and Barn
burnerism, iIards and Sotts. At The
North it implies Free-soilism and AJol-
itionism: at the South Southern Rig hts,
Secession, and Disunion. In the East
it implies strict construction; in the
West Internal improvement by the Cen
eral Government: at the North it implies
projections; a, the South free trade; at
the North Fourinrism, in Georgia rap
perisrr, and so on at mfAjtnm. 1t i'm
plies any and every thing in turn, and
nothing long-its active principle be-
ing the loayes and fishes. sit implies
whatever the people mean" IT is one
thing at the North and another at the
South, and entirely different in the East
from what it is in the West; and yet it
is all Democracy. Truly, Democracy
is comprehensive term, and suits alike
the views Of Abolitionists at the North
and tire"atzrs ofthe South, Iatitudinar.
