6TWheat harvesting has commenced. The
crop will be unusually heavy, without the
least blemish. The wind has blown down
the grain in some places, which will impede
the progress Of cutting, but will not material
ly affect the yield. We notice about the
same fattering accounts from the wheat crops
everywhere, which will cause the threatened
famine panic TO cease for awhils.-Jachsoy,

principle Of popular sovereignty embodied
in the Kansas Nebraska Law. "Surely you

says political parson te plain honest
Democrat who knows that if the people can
mol safely be trusted to manage their own
affairs, the whole theory Of Republican Gov.
ernmdnt is farce and humbng. "Dont
you see tha. this infamous Nebraska Law
extends slavery over a territory large
enough for mighty empire, from which It
was excluded by that sacred compact, the
Missouri compromise? Surely you are too
good man to sanction such an outrage
against God and humanity" The poor
fellow is puzzled By this sophissry, and aw-
ed by the anathcma implied in the appeal.
And SO he surrenders his judgment to his
political advised, and becomes Fusionist.
There are thousands Of just such cases, we
have no doubt.
Now the fact is, that popular sovereignty
is the grand safeguard of freedom, and the
grand opponent Of slavery. II has Danish.
