Severe Storm.

About As severe a summer storm Of
Rain as we recollect ever before expert
encing, occurred in this section, commenc-
ingon Thursday evening. 1t begun with
severe thunder storm from the north
west and the rain continued with only
occasional interlnission to pour in tor
rents during the whole night. and the
next morning, and we doubt whether it
is yet over at the time of our writing.
All the bitches and cutters of the city
were rapidly converted into extensive
water powers, and occasionally entire
streets were submerged. Some cellars.
which have never before ocoasioned any
trouble, were filled with water up to the
first floor, threatening to float the houses
off bodily. Doubtless vast deal of dam
age has been done of which we have no
knowledge. We perceive our Main street
bridge is impossible, though from what
cause we are not aware. as it looks sound.
We shall expect to hear of a number of
bridges being floated off from streams
within the range of the storm.
But the greatest damage is no doubt
to the ripcning crops. Amore untoward
storm for the wheat harvest could not
have occurred. 1t must have broken
down whole fields of the standing grain,
and we can hardly see with the moisture
and heat yet prevailing, how it can cs-
cape very general blight.
The lowlands too, must be flooded to
some extent with water, thus prevent
ing the cutting and securing Of grass.
We hope for the best but have reason
to anticipate the worst with reference to
the coming harvest.

Saturday, July 3, 1854.

I
E1 The Democrat is sure, it is, that
the Anti-Slavery party of the nation is
doing considerably more harm than good
in its efforts, even in reference to the
special end it has in view. This is by no
means an original idea. There is not a sla-
very propaganda in the country, but
| is possessed of the same idea and
never loses al opportunity of uttering it.
For the past eight, ten, or twelve years,
the Democratic party has done nothing,
and sought to do nothing, except to
strengthen and extend Slavery. Yet du-
ring all this time the Anti-Slavery senti-
ment has been increasing in the nation,
until at the present time, we have good
reason to hope that we are now having
the last distinctly frecdom-crushing and
Slayery-propagating Administration we
sh ii ever have. 1t might be supposed
! from this broad fact, that notwithstanG-
ing in its policy the anti-slayery party
had not in all things pleased the Denso-
crat, it was yet making advances towards
the end desired. And what pretty
piece of assumption it IS, for the editor
of the Democrat now. right in the heat
Of the battle. with the result yet unde-
tcrmincd, but with a growing strength
! and confidence in the anti-slavcry ranks
that victory will finally be theirs, to sit
down and dogmatisc about this move be-
ing wrong, and that dishonest, and an
other ruSe, and so on. He knows. OF
course he does, precisely the effect OF the
Free Sellers supporting Van Buren,, and
of their contributing to the election OF
Farwell. With an eagle eye. and Sol
omonic inspiration Of wisdom, he has
tracked them to thcirultimatc, and knows
that the cause has been put back and re-
tarded by these labors. We presume
Free Sellers are fallible as other people,
and may have made blunderS in their
policy but the idea that honest and ear
nest men, who are laboring, and striving,
and agitating with reference to certain
idea. are putting it back by those errors
J of policy which are inscparable from the
! action of all men and parties, is unwor-
thy of a rejecting mind, and is possessed
by no rejecting mind. When we come
to the end Of the strife, the story can be
better told, and we can then, perhaps,
Judge to whom Freedom owes the most
for its success whether these men who
without hope Of reward, have for years
through good and evil report been bat
Ting for it, or to Pierce, Douglass K Co,
and the men and presses who sustain
them by sustaining the party which up
holds them.

Smoothing Iron.

We sometime ago noticed in the pa

worth. We took it home, and the wo-

The next Presidency.

The name of Col. Benton in connec-
ton with the Presidency, is more and
more, and wider and wider spoken of
and always by the Independent and lib
eral politicians of the country.
We were told, short time since. in a
personal conversation, by one of the most
prominent politicians connected with the
Wing Press of Chicago, that the whole
Wing Party of Illinois would cheerfully
AMI heartily support Mr.. Benton as an
Independent candidate.
This is but a straw, showing the course
Of the popular current.
\ new correspondent of the Y. Y.
Erening Post, from Massachusetts, warm
ly approves the idea of running Benton
and suggests the name of HANNIBAL HAM
LIN, of Maine, for the Vice Presidency
The signs Of the times indicate strong
ly, the probability of Benton being the
Man for the -North.-D.

1t was a sight to make one feel glad.
They have already saved this City from
an immense loss; and to witness their
zeal, their enthusiasm, for so worthy an
object as to protect the property Of citi-

an opportunity of obtaining this valua-

who wish it; the work to be delivered

of our readers are acquainted with the
design and scope of this work, as also
with its highly interesting chracter as a

got up and printed, and furnished to sub

Something Wanted

In consequence of the late storm a
number of cellars on Main street have
been flooded, a good deal of mischief
done. and in scme instances, (as in the
case of Wales Bakery,) where business
is carried on in the cellar. the business
is stopped to the great damage of the
proprietor, and inconvenience of the pub
lie. As will be understood from the ma
ture Of the land, it is about impossible
for every separate proprietor to make a
drain which will carry off all the water
accumulating. Then, it strikes us to be
good policy, as well as Il duty on the part
of the city. to make a good. deep culvcrt
along Park street to the lake. This will
furnish excellent drainage facilities to
both sides of Main street. will add to the
general wealth of the city, and promote
much its health and comfort This seems
to us very necessary improvement, and
we hope it may be done.
Eg Mr.. Getting, Of Richmond, in
forms us that the storm which was SO Sc
we're here, was not felt at that place eX-
cept as pleasant summer shower; and in
coming from there towards this city, he
noticed no market effects of an unusual
storm, until he got this side of Fox river.
The storm came from the northwest and
went to the southeast and we shall pro-
badly hear something of it from the di-
rection in which it came. The O'Plain
bottoms, we are informed, are pretty
well covered with water

The storm of Thursday extended over
large portion of the State. We hear &c
it at Madison and at Beloit, where is was
as violent as in this city. The wind blew
with great fury and the rain descended in
cataracts. Many fields of wheat were
knocked fiat to the ground. AS the sun

is much apprehension ofrust striking tho
wheat and doing extensive mischief The
fresh breeze from the west, however may
