nation of Mr.. Seward, by the Whig legislative eau.
Gus at Albany. telegraphic despatch says:
One half the members of each House were In
attendance. The Legislature is composed of thirty
two Senators and one hundred and twenty eight
Assemblymen. There were In the caucus sixteen
Senators and sixty-four Assembymen. 1t thus ap.
pears that Mr.. Seward has not majority in either
House. Even if the entire caucus had gone for

to feel confident of his election on Tuesday. Ex-
President Fillmore received one vote In caucus.

Starvation Prices.

1t is the duty and interest of every man
who owns piece of land whereon he can SOW
bushel of grain, not to allow the spring to
slip by without doing it. We are at starva-
ton prices in breadstuffs as well as in meat
We shall have famine,if we do not look out.
The nations OF Europe are engaged in the
amiable business of butchering one another,
and if the half dozen gentlemen at Vienna and
their hackers do not come to terms, this state
of things will continue, and perhaps for half a
dozen seasons. The fertile plains of that con-
tinent, instead of being used for producing
what viii feed its population, will be the scenes
of havoc and bloodshed, and death alone will
reap harvest therefrom If, in addition,
the crops in the island of Great Britain should
be cut short, (and it must be remembered they
were very abundant last year) it viii be left
to the valley of the Mississippi, mainly, to
support the immense vacuum abroad. Under
such circumstances, the drain upon us for for
eign consumption is likely to be greater than
it has ever been before. Our present reserves
of breadstuffs must be very light, as the high
prices of corn and -four plainly enough denote.
Our corn crop last year was wonderfully small.
as was well established at harvest time with
out aid from the prices current
Entering upon the year with exhausted
granaries at home, with poor crop following,
and an immense European demand, grave APP
prehension may well be excited as to our cir
cumstances year hence. We have had a
hard winter and enormously high prices
throughout But what is all we have seen to
what we shall sec, if W should chance to have
bad summer, and the war goes on in Europe
We may then see suffering and starvation in
earnest.
1t is in view of this not merely possible, but
too probable state of things, that we invoke
the attention of farmers everywhere, in the
East as we'll as the West, to omit no opportu-
nifty to swell, in large and in small quantities,
the product of the soil the coming year New
England, especially. should bestir herself
At a dollar bushel for corn and ten dollars
for flour, these articles can be raised at very
great profit all over the North.
