e A friend who claims to have in
vestigated carefully, assures US that the
statement of our correspondent o, p, g
published day or two since, is incorrect
in many particulars. OF the persons en-
gagged in the liquor business he says the
number of Americans is tiro more than
was stated; the number of Dutch 3nore
the number of English 2 more; and the
number of Irish , less, there being in the
aggregate six Americans, thirteen Dutch
three English, and ten Irish.
Also instead of there being seren Irish
i'll the poor house, there is but three
two children and one man. The father
of the children was temperate man and
died four years ago and the man is not
incorporate but blind.
We have no personal knowledge of tho
facts stated 10y @, p, Q, nor have we o
these now stated above. Both Of GU
CORES )ondents arc reliable men, and the
difference between them must arise from
a misunderstanding or want of knowl
edge of the whole facts.

G- The JaaesriHe Standard, a Democratic
sheet, has the following with reference to the
Republican nominee for Congress in this
district:
Judge SrooHER is man Of unimpcacha-
bic integrity, Of excellent mind, OF approved
knowledge as acgislgtor, ami hoS long since
won the respect of political friends and enc
mics His nomination, too, must have been
Il free will offering Of tie delegates, for he
would never stoop to beg an office. norwill
lie stoop to work for his election, i'll the usual
manner of mere politicians. Ills opinions
will be gircn without reserve, and he will
leave the rest to others. If elected, he will
be, we think, an industrious member of Con
grcss We know he will be an honest one
but Inc never will be one OF those who will
make money ont of the berth.

&c If the Democrat will refer to the ~

and candid letter from Chicago, giving Il full
account of Douglas meeting. 1t will then
see the extent of the proyocation lie gave
his hearers from the course he pursued. We
have looked carefully ut the testimony of
both sides, and are satisfied if Douglas had
been disposed to pursue towards the people
Il eonoiliatory coursc-had commenced and
continued his speech in n gcntlcmanly man
ner, and moreover had not given abundant
reason beforehand for the suspicion that the
meeting was to be packed with and governed
by his own retaincrs-hc would have been
listened to in silence The truth is the peo-
pie were silent, and the silence was unintcr-
rupted and unbrokcn until Douglas accused
them Of ignorance OF what thcy were about,
and then they uttered in concert and spon-
tancously horrible groan. And the confu-
sion a.d excitement that subsequently pre-.
rogating the crowd. His queries were an
swcrcd and one thing led to another until
he got mad and the crowd grew noisy.
1t 10 doubt would have been a most lau-
dable and praiseworthy cXcmplification of
christian patience and virtue, if the people,
under the circumstances, had preserved an
uabrokcn silence but it was hardly to be
expected. Douglas provoked the wrath and
mirth both, of the crowd, which very natu-
rally were manifested. We see 10 attack
upon freedom of free speech in II. We are
sure that Stephen y. Douglas can always
get from the people of Chicago, treatment
full as good as he deals ont to them and his
freedom of speech will never be intcrfcrcd
with, unless such Interference is provoked.
We see no particular reason for the Demo
Gratis agonizing over the matter as it does
We doubt whether Freedom will Shrek, or
Hope, even for a season, bid the world fare

BY many the taking of pictures at all
is laughed at as a piece of folly; but all
wholove their friendsa and especially their
parents or children, every token which
will recall the place, the dress, the att
tudc, the appearance, or any accompany
ing circumstance attending any happy
beloved scene of the past, treasured by
the natural law Of association, which is
the basis of large share of human hap
piness, and which makes so earnest and
|'fervcnt the prayer, 40 Lord, keep our
memories green" is keep sake of pleas
ant emotion and Of real, true happiness.
So to the parent, the pictures of their
children, from year to year, as they are
growing, even if they live, and attain to
all the soul could wige., as they aid in
keeping the memory of their infancy and
the happy hours spent in their gambols
green, are Of much and real value.
We were recently present in the rooms
of Mr.. WEST, the Daguerrean Artist OF
this City, and saw him take picture OF
a child of two years. 1t was perfect
picture-as good one We think as we
ever saw-and Mr.. West manifested great
patience and suayity in kind of work
which cannot fail to be excessively an
noying to the most stoical, owing to the
almost utter impossibility of keeping a
child still. Mr.. West is patient and pre-
STRIVING, affable, and good artist, and
we'll deserves the patronage he gets.--D.

The Bu7ato Republic specuates as fol-
lows upon the Tatter involved in the
head of tbs article:
The Euro 1ean demand for our bread
stulfs must DC small, in consequence of
their own unusual abundance, and prices
must go down. Farmers have conceived
the idea that wheat is to go up to three
or four dollars PSF bushel. and they are
holding it back orr that account. No lon
ger ago than last week VIC iSuc1v N miller.
to offer a farmer four thousand dollars
for his crop of two thousand bushels of
wheat; but the latter turned on his heel
and babe him good morning. SO it is in
all the great wheat growing region in this
state. The farmers will not sell till the
market begins to fall nor would they if
it were up to five dollars pcrbushel. They
are generally wealthy and have no neces-
sity to sch, and they seem determined to
hold on till they are sure it has reached
the eliminating poi,.t. This we opne it
aaS already reached, and we should not
wonder if the same person who refused
four thousand dollars for his crop Shorld
take two thousand for it before next llar-
vest. The same influence which makes
pc sons hold their crops back in this state.
produces the same effect in the western
states. To these circumstances we are
Indicted in great measure Cor the ex-
cess of prices of brcadstuG;s in this coun-
try above those in the European markets.
The idea of eleven dollars per barrel for
flour in New York. when it is less than
eight in Liverpool, and v hen our har-
vests are abundant is most prepostcrous
There must and Will be fill, and we shall
not wonder ifthe opposite extreme shoald
be reached by the down ward impetus.
