pate u deficiency. There Is now no
foreign demand, and 1t Is generally con-
ceded, we believe, that the exports TO
Europe for the ensuing year will fall
considerably short, as compared with
the season just closed. These views are
of course against high prices; and being
apparently well founded, II will be diff
cult TO drive dealers entertaining them,
from their position. Those who have
hogs to sell will, therefore, perceive that
IL will not be safe 10 make calculations
upon realizing SO on per 100 lbs nett
For the one dealer who would at this
time be willing to transact q regular bu'
siness at SO, there are ten who consider
that II would be unsafe to pay over an
average Of S5. The tendency Is now
towards this figure. Some days ngc
sales were made at S6:37h, while yes
terday the market was duff at o.. To
check this downward tendency will re.
quire very decided reaction in the pro

Sensible.

1t is rumored that Mr.. Buchanan does
not intend TO undertake the occupancy
Of the White House alone. He feels
the necessity of a help meet; and is SAID
to have made arrangements for joint
tenancy with an accomplished Southern
widow who has had the advantage of q
four years. experience in that position.
This is the most sensible thing we have
heard OF Buchanan's doing since the
canvass opened. II it prove true, we
shall have the must sanguine hopes OF
his Administrations This may account
for the sudden burking Of the story that
started the rounds in Harper some
months since, about his early love expe-

The Press.

The Washington Union rejoices over
the defeat OF Fremont because it shows
how little influence the Newspaper
press has in the formation ofpublic opin-
ion. This is a curious fact for ne'rspa-
per to rejoice over, even If it were true,
But in precisely those States where
newspapers are most widely diffused and
read, Fremont's majorities have been the
heaviest. 1t is in the Slave States
where, on the average, ONE in TEN Of the
free whites over twenty years of age
cannot read, and in New Jersey and
Pennsylvania, Southern Illinois and Sou
thern Indiana, which read newspapers
less than any of the other Free States,
that Mr.. Buchanan has received HIS ma
jorities. Take this county as an illustra-
ton. In Ray, Highland and Butler
townships. the Buchanan majorities am
cunt to $50, yet, in those townships,
there are not 100 Republican papers ta-
ken-probably not 200 of all kinds
Newspapers are death on old lineism.
