The WHEAT CRoP.-The papers are busy at
figuring out the probable wheat crop of this year.
or course the statements are merely conjectural
and not of much value. One estimate puts down
the crop Of all the States and Territories at 1853,
$4,000 bushels, which is sixty-eight million
bushels over that of lS49. The value Of the
wheat cropin that year is put down in the census
report at 800, ooOo 900. II we value the present
crop at one dollar and quarter bushel, It viii be
worth an aggregate gilmore than two hundred and
ten and half million Of dollars.

Dcnouncing the American party for its dis

papers, studiously ignore the proceedings OF
the Pennsylvania Democracy. Will it ever be
known in the South, through the medium Of
these papers, that the Nebraska-Kansas legis-
lation has been repudiated by the Democracy
of Pennsylvania, in convention assembled, by
the astounding majority of 95 to IA? We
challenge these journals to justify the Democ-
racy of Pennsylvania, according to the rule
which they apply to the American Order.
A correspondent of the National Era seems
not without hopes of carrying off share of the
Abolition Democracy. He quotes the fact Of
their having repudiated the Douglas bill, and
adds:

satisfaction with the administration policy relative

Pennsylvania At their recent State convention

Rseder's Removal-A Double Game.

We have noted small mystery attending
the attempted removal of Reeder, which is be-
ginning to receive solution. General Davis is
said to have asserted in Mississippi that Reeder
would be promptly removed Then we see
that the President addressed letter to Gov
ernor Reeder after the latter had left for Kan
sas in which he makes allusion to the specu-
lations in public land, alleged to have been
made by Reeder. We had a suspicion that,
if Reeder should be removed, it would be upon
this imputation of malfeasance in office, and
not because he did everything in his power to
favor the Frce-Soil party.
Now, unfortunately for the policy pursued
by the Democratic administration, the daily
press communicates to the North and South all
that is represented to either by the designing
politicians who would deceive either. From
this source we learn that the Richmond En-
quirer considered the removal Of Reeder due
to his Free-Soil procivities. The Abolition
lists, on the contrary, seem to have thought it
was because the Governor was too fond of
speculation Hear one of the latter press ex-
pressing it's surprise at the double game of the
administration
at was generally supposed that Governor
Reeder had been removed or suspended, If at all,
in consequence of his unauthorized speculations in
the public lands; but we now have 1t, upon the
sem-oficial authority of the Richmond Enquirer,
that he has been literally crushed out ON account
of his Free-Soil sympathies."
