A Ealseh God Nailed.

The Portage Democrat publishes letter
stating that HERBERT the murderer OF KEAT-
ING was delegate in the Cincinnati Con
venton. We are surprised that our oppo'
hcnts should persist in such falsehood.--
HERBERT is not emocrat--was not dele.
gate from California and was not at any
time, inside the Convention room. This we
knouo from our own personal knowledge
We saw all the delegates from California,
and HERBERT was not among them. The
following are the names Of the California
delegation as will be seen by reference to
the proceedings OF that body published in
pamphlet form:
p. C. Rust, p. j.. Solomon,
Samuel H. Dosh, J. Lancaster Brent,

That cause must be a poor one indeed
whose advocates are compelled to resort tc
such means of warfare.

es, and settle the Kansas difficulties fairly.
No one can object to il. Here are its pro-
visions:
THE ADMISSION OF KANSAS.
Mr.. Douglas, from the Committe on Ter
Fitories, to which was referred the various
bills relative to affairs in Kansas, made q
volUminous report on the subject II con-
tains an elaborate argument in favor Of the
new bill accompanying the report, which
provides for the appointment of five Com.
missioners, to be selected by the President
from different sections of the Union, to re-
present fairly all political parties. They
shall take a census of oil the legal voters
in the Territory. and make fair apportion-
ment Of delegates to be elected by each
county, to form constitution and institute
State government. When the npporlionment
shall be made the Commissioners are to re-
main in session every day, except Sunday,
at tho place most convenient for the inhabi-
tants OF said Teritory,i0 hear all complaints
examine witnesses, and correct all errors IN
said list of voters, which list shall be pre-.
viously printed and generally circulated
through the Territory, and posted in least
three OF the most public places Of each elec-
tion district; and so soon as all the errors
have been corrected in said lists, the Com.
missioners are requested to cause correct
ed list of the legal voters to be printed, and
copies furnished TO each Judge Of election,
to be put up at the places of voting, and cir
culated in every county in the Territory be-
fore the day of election-no person to be al
lowed to vote whose name does not appear
on the list as a legal voter; the election for
delegates to take place on the day OF the
Presidential election, and the Convention to
meet on the first Monday in December to
decide first, whether it be expedient for Kan
sas to come into the Union at that time
and if so decided, to proceed to form Con.
stitution and State government, which shall
be Of republican form, Kansas then to be
admitted under such Constitution on an
equal footing with the original States. The
bill provides further, that no law shall be en-
forced in the Territory infringing the liberty
of speech or of the press, or the right OF the
people 10 bear arms. &c. 1t also provides
punishment for illegal voting, or fraud nnd
vioences at elections, and authorizes the
use of the military for that purpose. The
main point is, that the persons designated BY
he census as the present inhabitants OF the
Territory, shall decide all points in dspntt
at a fair election, without fraud or violence
or any other improper influence. All the
white male inhabitants over 81 years o
age are TO be allowed to vote, if they have
resided in the Territory three months Previ
Gus to the day Of election, and no furthe
test shall be required; no oath to suppor
the Fugitive Slave law or any other law, no
any other condition whatever.
Mr.. Douglas gave notice that ne wonl
ask for vote on the bill on "Wednesday.

People Read and Reflect.
The Rochester Union has come into pos
session Of memorial to Congress which is
being sent for signatures into every town
throughout the State of New Yerk,-pray-
ing for a dissolution of the Union. 1t re-
cites the old abolition rigmarole about
wrongs being inflicted upon the North by
tho South; expresses the "helief that the
time has come for new arrangement OF
elements so hostile, or interests so irrecon-
cilable, of institutions SO incongruous;' eur
nestly requests Congress, at its present ses-
sion, to take such initiatory measures for
the speedy, peaceful and equitable dissoIu'
ton Of the existing Union as the eXigencias
of the case equre-leaving the South to
depend upon her own resources, and to take
all the responsibility in the maintenance of
her slave system, and the North to organize
an independent Government, in accordance
with her own IDEAS ofjustice and the rights
of man," and requests the person to whom
the memorial is transmitted to circulate it
Tor signatures, "and see TINT it is speedily
sent to either Senators Wilson, Hale, Wade,
Seward, and FesSendcn, or to Messrs. Gid.
dings, DurlingOme, Collamer, Campbell, oil
any other suitable Representative, at Wash
inston."
All the members Of Congress mentioned
as equitable" persons to whom TO send thi!
precious document, are prominent leaders
Of the black republican party, and promi
nent supporters of the nomination of FRE
MONT. OF course, il Fremont should be e
ected, these "suitable" men would exercise
a controlling influence over his admniStra
lon. Would it not be beautiful condition
Of affairs for the government Of the Unior
to be in the hands Of men who favor dsun
ION! Would it not be pretty state of thing
for the interests Of the confederacy to be il
the power of men who advocate disruption
of those interests!
Every patriotic citizen should reflect ear
nesty upon this fact; that the election o
John C. Fremont to The Presidency of the
United States would throw the reins OF gov
ernment into tho hands OF disunionists.-
What would be the result of such an event
is clearly apparent to even the dullsst com
prehenson.

4 Patriotic Letter from Charles
Anderson, Esq.

We make tho following fnrcible extract
from letter written by this able and elo'
quent "Old line Wing" to a Buchanan club
in Chillicothe, Mr.. Anderson says:
For Gas look upon ~ this nomination OF
Fremont is the first serious and open move
ment OF any part of our confederacy. or OF
any respectable of our populatioD,which
looks to, nay, which is separate action Of
one section in public affairs. There has
been often before mitch writing and talking
of such procedure, but never before such n
deed. As to me sit squnts awfuIy" of dis
union; feel, therefore degree of fapprehcn-
sion concerning the perpetuity of our Union,
and, consequently, of the liberties OF our peo.
ple-I mean, of course, the aohite people,
Tor whom our institutions were established
such as never felt in any preceding elec.
ton. ] lam sure If the most fanatical "frce,
dom shrieker" of all the Abolitionists, who
are now the leaders and masters Of these
steady old conservative Wings, with mouth
foaming and face pale with the atlatus of
prophecy, should have foretold our people,
three years ago, that convention would
assemble from one haifof the States to nom
mate candidate for the Presidency OF the
Lnited States, the prophet and the prophecy
would have been secuted with derlson or
horror. But here we are right upon this
actual event Of history. God help US! ] do
not fear the present success Of such an nm
holy combination, but~the fact and the ex.
tent of such On effort is most .rghtful por.
tent to my sober contemplation. In such an
issue all other questions dwindle into. insig'
niicant worlhlessness. My whole heart
therefore, is with the only National Union
party, which is now seriously in the field.

The Crops the West.

A two weeks tour through the States Of
Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Hines,
has given US an opportunity TO observe the
growing Crops and to Judge for ourself.
In Michigan the corn is backward, but the
rains and sun is bringing II forward fast, and
an average crop is looked for. The winter
whestis good.
In Illinois, (lhe northern part) wheat,
both spring end winter is rank. Corn is
breast high. stands well and promises hea.
w yield. There is too, in this State, an i'm
mense breadth Of land sown.
Farmers are getting more independent,
have more facilities, and can take care of
more grain than heretofore. The trouble
has been with them, that they could SOW
more than they could reap, help in harvest
being scarce. But now, machinery plows,
sows, reaps, rakes, thrashes and cleans their
grains, and but little is left for man to do, ex-
cept to market his crop.
There is no old wheat in the country, but
plenty Of corn. Every farmer almost, has
half or two.thi-ds of his last years crop on
hand, laying in heaps about his barns;
Crops-In Iowa, and Wisconsin there
will be on immense yield Of wheat. oats and
corn; there is no fly or rust yet visible, and
this week the wheat havest will generally
commence. Look out for low prices.
The WHEAT CRoP.-The Lebanon (Tenn)
Herald, says that from all it can gather from
our exchanges, the prospects are very fat
te ring in this State for on abundant CROP
The wheat crop has yielded much better
than was anticipated. The yield per acre
will not be more than half what it was
last year, but ns there vns nearly double
the quantity sown, we presume the yield
in the aggregate, will be nearly as great al
last season.
MISSOURI.
The wheat harvest has been rapidly pro
crossing during the past week. The weaIh
er has been fine for cutting and securing
grain, and the many reapers that have beel
introduced in the country hare contributes
to tighten the labors of this always arduou
task. A gentleman who has lately vsite
different parts OF the country informs US, tina
the wheat crop is much larger than for sew
eral years past, both in the quantity of land
sown and the amount likely to be realize
from each other.
We have rumors Of sales Of the new crop
but have not been able to learn anvthin
particularly as to the fuct Of such sales q
the prices paid. 1t seems however, to b.
generally conceded that the prices " ill dro
from what they have been for the pas
year.
The dry weather for some weeks past
has enabled the farmers to get their cor
crops in good condition, and with favor;
Bile season from this on, heavy crop wi
be made. Oats, hemp. and other croT
we learn are doing well.-Indspenden

from Mr. Dallas by the last steamer, in regard
to the difficulties between the two countries,
nor any notice from Mr.. Champion that he
had received the answer to Mr. Marcy's de-
mand, which has been SO long promised
At the latest accounts Mr.. Dallas had not
beenpr presented to the Queen. probably owing
to her absence at Windsor, but he had been
formally recognized by Lord Palmerston, and
was transacting business at the foreign Office.
The rumor from here of the contents Of Min
ister Whecler's dispatches, are mere fabrica-
tons. Not a line has come from him concern
ing the recent acts OF hostility in Central Amer
lea.
The reported challenge Of Senator Douglas
by Col. Lane, has very little foundation. No
challenge mas been given and no correspon-
dence between them yet exists, except note
from Col. Lane addressed to Mr. Douglas, to
relieve Col, Lane from the imputations cast
