War Declared

Below are the resolutions upani-
mously adopted at public meeting
held at Weston, Missouri, near the
border Of Kan sas. They breathe a
spirit of resolute hostility to the oc-
cupation of that fertile territory by
abolitionists and free-soilers. These
hardy men of the borders look to
sterner measures than the balIot-box
for the protection of their rights and
property. They know what con-
slant source Of trouble and loss
would be entailed upon them by the
erection of a free State at their very
elbows, and they have no idea that
emigrants sent there by abolition so
cieties, for no other purpose than
their injury, and the ultimate over
throw Of their great institution, shall
be permitted peaceably, anq without
molestation, to fulfil the objects Of
their mission. Far away in those
Western wilds, on the broad field oil
nature, there is to be a str ggle be-
tween slavery and abolition, between
the North and the South. Be it at
the ballot-box, or in AM other
way, success to the brave pioneers
of Southern Rights and civilization.
Here are the resolutions;
Resolcca, 1st, That this nssocia-
ton will, whenever called upon by
any of the citizens of Kansas Terri
tory, hold itself in readiness to &C
there to assist in removing any aud
all emigrants who 60 there under
the auspices Of the Northern Emil
grafton Aid Societies.
%, That we recommend to the
citizens Of other coun mites, and partic-
ul1rly those bordering on Kansas
Territory, to adopt regulations SINH
lar to those of this association, and
TO indicate their readiness to co-ope-
rate in the objects of the frs rcsolu-
ton.
That these resolutions be pub
lished in the papers at Weston.

The Hog and Corn Crops.

The Louisville Journal publishes
the following letter from respecta-
BILE source relating to the prospects
Of Corn and Pork in the West:
Chicago, Sept. 2.
SIR:-I find the corn crop is very
good in northern Indiana, fair in O.
hio, and large northern Illinois; and
| am told much the largest crop ev-
er grown in Wisconsin and Iowa.
The receipts Of corn here average
over 100000 bushels week, and
would, Lam told, be twice that guam,
tity if the rivers wers not so low
Mr. =, has $4,000 on its way here
from Illinois river, which may ac-
count for his ideas Of short crop
There are millions and millions Of
year before last corn in the country
yet, and no end to last year S crop
There isold corn enough to fatten all
the hogs in the country. The hogs
do not require as much corn as usua
this season, as they are now two OF
three weeks in advance Of other sea-
sons, dry seasons being favorable fol
iattening hogs. los hogs came il
here last week, Weighing over 3OC
pounds each. Imention this to show
that there are some large hogs now
| took some pains 10 find out about
the corn in fremont, Illinois, and d
gentleman who is from there, says
that it will average 80 bushels to the
acre, and that corn is now worth 32c
at Pekin, and about Zoe. at fremont
and that distance from the river
So you, will see was right in pro
nouncing that story about no corn
and 81 per bushel offered for corn il
fremont, a humbug; and the Other
stories have about rs much truth.

Instances Of this kind we're rare.

Instances OF this kind were rare,
however, and by no means the gen.
eral condition even Of the worst corn
growing districts. Our informant
heard but little complaint north of
the Illinois river, though in maIy
counties he saw here and there Il
parchsd spot; but upon the whole
he thinks pork packers and hog spec
ulat0rs may calculate upon two-thlrds
Of an average crop Of both corn and
pork in the following counties: Schuy-
Ter, Pike, Calhoun. Scott, Cass, Nor
gan, Hancock, Menard, Mason and
McDonough. Some of these are the
larg est corn-growing and hog raising
counties in the State, and We are
pleased to hear such favorable nc
count FROM them 1t may be that
I pork and corn are to rule considera-
bly, above the average price Of form
er years, but doubtless there will be
enough Of both in the country tc
prevent want, much less famine.

Speech Of Senator Douglas.

We publish I'd day sketch of a
late speech at ] ndia napolis, Ia, by
Senator Douglas. We do this main
ly fer the purp9se Of showing the
inannerinwhich the Nebraska Kansas
act is sustained lIy the Northern def
Imocracy. Although these reasons
are not in all resp bets the same which
commend the act to our own appro-
baton, yet the g eat principle upon
which it is defended of non-inter-
vention by Congdess with the subject
of slayery-is I'll lie test of. democratic
soundness everywhere. Judge Doug,
las finds himself enga ged in contest
in defence of this principle, with the
combined whig and abolition forces
Of the Northwest. Although he may
for the moment be overwhelmed, yet
his eventual triu mph is precisely as
certain as tina. the Union is to be
maintained.

Staunion, va. Spectator, SAYS:
A few days since VIC saw, in the
possession of IA friend at Waynes-

letters Of Junius, the history Of
which is interesting and renlarka-
bic. The manuscript belongs to
Sir. J. FL, Baylor, Of Caroline conn-
ty, Virginia, who inherited ii from
his father, MIR. John Baylor. The
owner of the document states that
that bis father was sent to England
in the year 1766 or 1867 for the
purpose ofcomPleting his education.
He went first to Putney and then
to Gains College, at Cambridge,
where he remained three years, or
through the exciting period when
the letters of Junius appeared in the
"Public Advertiser"
He returned To- Virginia in The
autumn of 1872, again visited Eu-
rope III. l775, married while there,
AID returned ID ITO, lie brought
wiih him on his return fine pri-
yate library. and at bis death left
among other books and papers the
manuscript copy of all The letters Of

also had in lis possession copy Of

the letters were published. MIR
Bal lor states that lie has often no.

Bay or says that his father often

What could have induced Mr..

The HOG AND Corn CROP -Ex-
tract of a letter from a packing house
in Louisville, dated August 81, to
their correspondent in this city;
The opinion Of our best informed
men in regard to Corn and Hogs,
now, is that prices of both will rule
very high, as the rain has come toe
late, and in some instances actually
done harm by sottening the grain
The regions of country where corn
can be had are too remote from the
important packing points, and even
there it is selling at 50 to 50 so per
barrel, making hog cost S. gross
if be should be given to you. You
are then so or 125 miles from mar
ket, and the ebrn on the road, will
cost 81 per bushel. The pork must,
therefore net S. so to So IS at the
packing point to get back your mon
| ey for your outlay. For example;
hog. $50 lbs, at ic. per lb......$ 81 50
barrels corn, Is bushels at 81 50..75 so
Cost of driving, average 100 miles, is
20 cents; corn 20 to 80 cents, (now
at 80 cents to 81. fully 150-$I050
hog, $50 lbs. gross, wonld be at
So IS delivered at the pen. .........1 10 so
This year hogs will gross more than
usual, aud when driven 100 miles
will net fully 80 per cent. less, thus:
One hog weighing $50 pounds, gross,
costing So rs, will net 1876 pounds,
equal to So 81. Nothing is here
allowed for loss Of hogs in driving, or
dead hogs This calculation will
irold good for 9-I0th of the hogs at
this point, and about the same result
would be arrived at in Cincinnati.
Now take a hog in Shelby, our
large raising county, and We have
l hog $50 lbs,, at l4c............... So 20
3 barrels corn, ut SO. 90 +
Cost of delivering, -. .-......... so
S11 75
gross $50 lbs. and netting
2l0 is equivalent to So 60; dearer
hog stifl than the one 100 miles OF,
owing to difference in the value of
The hog and the cost of the corn. /
The shortness Of the crop holds
good all over the country, and pro- ,
Fisions must go up and remain high.
