written by the secretary of an organization
framed since his arrival in this city, for the
purpose Of preventing him from speaking.
The organization required that he should

being heard,

Douglas withdrew from the stand.
We are confident that We speak the senti-

were disgraceful in the extreme, and that

free State Of Illinois, and its metropolis. -
The precedent has been set. Where will it

But these things, though mortifying to
every over Of his country, will have lis re-
suits. The American heart is generous

We have been over a considerable nor
ton Of the country extending forty miles
west OF this, and the prospect for farmers is
truly discouraging. The whole face of the
country is burnt up. In Carroll county. ex
cept along some spring runs, there is to be
found scarcely a blade Of grass. Farmers
everywhere are anxious to dispose Of their
stock; but OF course find but few BUYERS,
and at ruinons prices. Oats and hav can
scarcely be bought at all. Corn, potatoes,
buckwheat, turnips, &c, will be nearly n
total failure. Many farmers are cutting up
their corn and feeding it to their stock
The hot dry weather las also had its etfec,
on fruit. Apples are generally small and
more Scraggy than usual. One thing struck
us as unusual. The soil, instead Of heiny
hard and baked, when turned over with The
pillow, moulds down and presents a fine
yielding surface to the foot, all the moisture
and adhesive qualities having apparently
been dried out. .H8'
Farmers tell us that there has been no
considerable rain since corn planting, and
no general rain for more than seven weeks.
From present appearances, there is pros
pect OF speedy rain. There is not in fact,
moisture enough in the earth to afford food
for rain, and untilthe fall equinox which be-
gins ON the Goth of September, breaks 10
the weather, and drives clouds and rain
which collects over seas and lakes and more
favored places this way, is probable that
there Is no relief for us. Each dsy seems
hotter than the last, and the time of the
fall equlnoxial gales is looked forward to AZ
