Pennsylvania. Her Democracy is aroused, and
ready for the fight, whether it is single handed
against the combined forces of the wings, abo

separate candidates of each of these parties or

THE FARMERS AND THE CROPS.

The newspapers from all parts of the country
TEEN with mournful accounts Of the general
destruction of the crops. Scarcely within the
memory of man have our farmers been visited
with so protracted, so general, and so desire
tive a drought. The wheat crop in many places
injured by the worm, suffered yet more from
the rust. The corn that at first promised so
well has withered under the influence of the
drought. In some few favored places there
has been sufficient rain to make the crops
In other places there have been floods, that
proved ruinous to the corn; whilst in some
parts Of the country hail storms Of unusual
violence have devastated the fields. But few
localities however, have been exempted from
the drought. The prayer Of the farmers has
almost universally been for rain. IT is per.
haps too late in the season now TO anticipate
much benefit from it. The parched, stunted,
and whitening crops can be hardly recruited by
the most general and copious showers.

NEW YORK AND PHILADELPHIA,

New York and Philadelphia, we fear, are
about TO have regular setto. The Herald
Of Tuesday, in q long article, brings serious
charges against the Philadelphia merchants
and journals. 1t says that, in order to get the
western and southern trade, which usually goes
to New York, the Philadelphia merchants have
sent circulars all over the country in which
they represent New York as suffering dread
fully from the Asatic cholera. The Herald
saws:

This closing sentence is 8 the cream of the
Joke and, what Is astonishing, thousands into
whose hands these missves fall, are simple
enough to believe them. Some of our princi

the past month with letters from old and regu

The Herald bluntly denies all these charges
and produces statistics to prove that New York
is quite as healthy as it generally is. Various
other charges are brought against New York BY
the Philadelphians which the Herald also un,
dertakes to disprove.

BOYS Our AT NIGHT.-I have been an OBJ.
server, as am a sympathizing lover of boys.
| like to see them happy, cheerful, gleesome.
Indeed, can hardly understand how a high.
toned useful man can be the ripened fruit of a
boy who had not enjoyed full share of the
glad privileges due to youth. But while
watch with very jealous eye all rights and
customs which entrench upon the proper rights
Of boys, am equally apprehensive lest parents
who are not forethoughtful, and who have not
habituated themselves to close observations
upon this subject, permit their sons indulgen.
ces which are almost certain to result in their
decentralization, if not in their total ruin and
among the habits which / have observed tend.
ing most surely to ruin, i know of none more
prominent than that of parents permitting
their sons TO be IN the street after niqhtfdH.
1t is ruinous TO their morals in all instances.
They acquire, under the cover of night an un-
healthful state of mind-bad, vulgar, immoral.
and profane language, obscene practices, crimi-
nal sentiments, a lawless and riotous bearinp.
Indeed, it is in the street after nightfall that
the boys principally acquire the education OF
the bad, and capacity for becoming rowdy.
dissolute, criminal men. Parents should in
this particular, have q rigid and inflexible
rule, that will not permit a son under any cir.
cumstances whatever, to go in the streets after
nightfall with view of engaging in out-ofdoor
sports, or meet other boys for social chance
occupation. A right rule of this kind, invari.
ably adhered to, will soon deaden the desire for
such dangerous practices.
Boys should be taught to have pleasures
around the family centre table, in reading, in
conversation, and in quiet amusements BOYS
are seen in the streets after nightfall behaving
in a manner entirely destructive of all good
morals. Fathers and mothers, keep your
children home at night, and see that you take
pains to make your homes pleasant, attractive,
and profitable to them; and above all, with
view Of their security from future destruction,
let them not become, while forming their char
acters for life, so accustomed to disregard the
moral sense Of shame as to openly violate the
Sabbath day in street pastimes during its day
or evening hours.

THE RICHMOND WING ON THE RE
riOVAL OF A KNOW-NOTIIING.

The Richmond Wig having been informed
that a clerk has been removed from our CITY
Post Office because he was member of the
Know-nothing organization, speaks as follows
In these days Of prescription for opinions
sake carried to the utmost extreme, we have
nothing better to expect We shall not be sur.
prised to hear, before long, Of the spoilsmen
turning out their subordinates because they
worship their God according to the dictates
of their own conscience"
The Whiy must have poor opinion of the
intelligence Of its readers if it expects to iufu-
ence them by such language as that we have
quoted. It is indeed, ridiculous to denounce
the prescription which removes from Office a
member of one of the most proscriptive asso-
Citations which has ever been seen in this or any
other country. In fact the Know nothing organi-
cation is based upon prescription, and proscrip.
ton alone. The members of that organization
will not vote for foreigner or the son of a
foreigner 1t is the leading article of their
creed to prescribe such and drive them from
every species Of public employment But this
is not ALL The members of the Know-nothing
organization do not confne their hostility to
foreigners and the sons Of foreigners. They
scrutinize the religious belief of their fellow
citizens, and prescribe all the members of a
particular denomination, no matter how pure
their lives may be.
The Richmond Wing, in its heated prejudice
against the Democratic party, states that pro-
scription has been carried so far, that it would
not be surprised if officers were soon dismissed
from employment because they worship their
God according to the dictates of their own
conscience The Know-nothings have al
ready arrived at that extreme limit of intole.
rance, for they have undertaken to ostracse
the freedom Of religious belief by prescribing
all who adhere to particular church. The
Know-nothings elected their candidates at the
last election in this city, and they have carried
out their proscriptive principles most remorse-
lessly. The complaints of the Richmond WAig,
because one ofthat fraternity has been removed
from clerkship in the City Post Office must
provoke a smile in this community even
among the Know nothings themselves. The
clerk was prescribed because he was proscrip-
tive. He was removed from Office because he
had Joined an association which opposes can
didates and removes officers because they
worship their God according to the dictates Of
their own conscience" The Richmond Whig
is welcome to all the capital it can make out
of the transaction
