Z Defiant Know Nothing.

BJuache'S Sunday Press, whose editor,
though we'll known as radical Loco Foco,
it is generally surmisea knows more about
the doings of those who know nothing
than he processes, or cares to let the pub
lie know, comes boldly to the rescue Of
Canal Commissioner candidate Mott, and
thus bids defiance to the threats made Of
throwing him off the ticket, if he does
not purge himself Of the charge Of being
a Know Nothing.
HENRY 5. MoTr-This gcutleman's )

head for Canal Commissioner. We hH0lr
HENRY S. Mort, and choerfuIy endorse
his pure Democracy, private worth, and
sterling integrity, while member Of the
Legislature.
We have nothjng to say about Col

tainly, we have right to our preferences;
we have fought Biglcr from June 5th,
1858, to the present time, and We do not
hoist the name of Chief Justice Black, be-
cause he ran away when the decision was
given on the Barr liquor case. Our pa
per is Democratic to the core, and we de-
! fy contradiction to our principles. # the

let its conductors strip to the buff, and
enter the ring-and if we don't lick the
scurvy lot Of kuaves who conduct that
yil!ainous sheet, in less than three rounds,
we will cave in and cry Peccar1. Such
! jnsolence needs be rebuked, when it is
threatened to haul Motifs name down
from twenty odd papers in the State, and
call another Convention to nominate al
LlShn1an in his place. We defy you to
bring about such result. We dnre you
to the issue; and we say openly and above

The TrCuth.

We copy the following from the New
York Tribune:
Just as everybody was congratulating
himself and his neighbours upon the Sc
cured crops Of wheat, oats and grass, as
well as on the cheering appearance OF
the growing corn, and the bountiful sup
ply of potatoes in prospect, isolated ac-
counts Of droutL began to excite some un-
easiness, but no great anxiety. Ia places
where winter wheat had failed, and a
backward spring had prevented putting IL
as much corn OF potatoes as could have
been planted in more favorable season,
great fields Of bucknheat and turnips
we're soUp, aud the hope OF tcem'ng
supply Of food for the coming winter was
almost universal.
At frsJ the reports Of drouth came
! from some Of the western and northern
counties of this State, but they recently
! became more extensive aud mere alarm
ing; and now, whoever has read our ex-
tended reports in the present number oi
THE TRIBUNE, must be convinced tEat
the drouth now prevailing Is more VIDE
snrcad and more destructive than any
heretofore known in America. The corn
in many Of the best counties OF Illinois
and Indiana, that promised an average
yield of sixty bushels per acre, will, II
many fields, not poduce single bushel
and the product cannot possibly equal
one half the usual average, if indeed, it
equals one fifth. As we have before sta
ted, this drouth is no longer confined to a
few isolated localities it extends from
Maine to Missouri; it has not only cut of
Indian corn. but potatoes, turnips and
buck wheat, and the fall feed for cattle.
In some places the poor brrtes arc liter
ally starving. Some feed them out OF
their winter store, and some drive them
to the woods 10 browse all sell them as
fast as they can, and many are sent to
the shambles, though only fit for the
knacker's yard.
Now what is the prospect. for we may
as well look into the fact at once. 1t Is
undeuiable that the greatest Ofall Amer
lean crops-Indiau Corn-will be woe
fully below the anticipations Of every far
mer in the country, and greatly below
our actual wants. The consequence will
be, that Western pork cannot be made at
such prices as have prevailed for many
years, and our supply of Western beef
cattle, though it may not fall of in numb
err, will be like Pharoh S lean kine-sadly
deficient in tallow; and if we have gTaIn-
bled at what we have heretofore received
we shall groan at what we get hereafter
The loss of the corn crop must be felt b.
all classes Of society, whether they eat
corn or wheat bread, or whether they eat
consumers of meat or vegetables. The
aattering prospects of abundance of cheaI
food next winter, is now to be counted d
moDg things past.-Let all who read and
think, husband their resources. There /.
no danger of famine, but there is need Of
economy.
