The GRAIN TRADE OF THE WEsT.--Some OF
our Western exchanges state that there is com.
paratively but little wheat in store at the stations
on the railroads and canals in that section OF
country-The fall crop, it is said, did not tern
out as we'll as was expected. A Chicago paper
SAYS that there are only about 10000 bushels
| of wheat, and $4,000 barrels of four In that
market There are not more than 600 busf1-
els in Milwaukee,, and the whole aggregate on
Lake Michigan will not, it is believed, exceed
100000 bushels of wheat and 10000 barrels of
-four. The price of seed wheat in the interior
of Illinois is considerably above the market,
spring wheat for seed and milling, bringing from
SI.20 to $3.50, and the supply furnished is bare
ly sufficient to meet home consumption. The
stock of corn on the other hand is represented
as being quite heavy. Upwards Of l,9oo,0
nois river and canal. The Chicago Citizens be.
lieves that last years prices would bring into
that market alone, the enormous amount OF 20,-
100000 bushels. Prices range now at that
point, from 81 to 40 gents bushel.
At Louisville we learn that the price of corn
has declined materially, rausing to spectators
serious losses Since the increasing of the corn
crop, says the Courier, dealers have been largely
engaged in making purchases all along the Ohio
river and the Wabash. They commenced ope.
rations at comparative high figures, and soon the
river banks were lined with hugh piles of corn
in sacks, awaiting shipment. Prices almost I'M.
mediately declined, and holders have in a great
measure ceased shipping, as the price in foreign
markets would not warrant the cost of transport
tation. One house in Louisville is bound for
purchase of nearly hundred thousand bushals,
ut from 40 to AZ cents per bushel. Subsequent.
ly they proffered the farmer ten cents per bushel
to take the corn back, and rescind their contracts,
which they of course refused. Prices have de-
clined to 25 cents, at which rate Spectators are
again buying largely. The CROP, it has been
generally conceded, Is large one. Last season
the crops, owing TO the drought, failed, and pr-
ces everywhere run up to 80 cents and 81 per
bushel, but from present Indications there is no
likelihood that they will exceed half those rates
this season.-BaItimore American.

The events now transpiring in California, no less
than those of which Kansas is the scene, are OF
character to occasion tho greatest disqaietude to
the sincere friends of Liberty and Of our democratic
system of government. Considering the great
number of worthless and desperate characters
which. upon the first discovery of gold, hOcked to
California from all directions it has, on the WHOLE
been great wonder that social order and security for
life and property have exs'ed there to the extent
they have. Indeed, there was no little occasion
to e1ult over the natural capacity OF Americans
for sef-gOvernment, that out OF such materials .
government based on our republican ideas could
lave been organized at ALL
Al 70 this matter, however, the rogues vaga-
bonds. cheats gamblers, thieves acd robbers OF
California have shown themselves exceeding
wise in their generation. Instead Of banding to-
pether. No might have been expected, and placing
| them,elyes in apparent and open opposition as
| they were in secret but real opposition to law
| and Justice. the gentry of this stripe
,douted the course much safer for them
selves and much more dangerous to the
community of attaching themselves to the dominant
political party, of setting themselves up as special
Democrats and by bullying and violence at noml'
mating caucuses, and by like bullying and violence
and frauds at the pols controlling the elections and
securing the appointment of Judges, Magistrates,
She,iffs and other executive officers, from whom
they had in the way of political gratitude, much -

It 10 highly creditable % we'll TO the pluck as to
the patriotism Of Commodore Stockton that rather
than let the Union slide, he should be ready TO
stop its downward molten not only with his own
body, but even to submit to accept fer that pur-
pose a nomination for the Presidency rendered to
him by half dozen political adventurers, for aught
we know quite as honest patriotic and self.sacri-
fcng, but certainly quite as impervisas to rdlcule
as the gallant Commodore himself.
The Commodore is, however, totally mistaken as
20 the nature of the crisis in which he has thus
been called on to act. The Union is in no i'm ne
date danaer-at least none from which it can be
saved by the interpOsion either of his body or his
eloquence. No party that we know of proposes
to let the Union slide. All the Presidential plat
forms that we have seen are not less full than the
Commodore himself of devotion to the Union and
determination to save it at all hazards. 1t is not
TO save the Union from sliding that the halfdOzen
factonists, to whom he so gravely responds, have
nominated the Commodore for the Presidency; and
go far from saving the Union BY accepting that
nomination, all the Commodore can accomplish by
it is to make fool of himself, and, what is more
to exhibit himself before the public delighted with
the jingling of his own bells.
The Commodores decided hostility to the repeal
of the Missouri Compromise is oil very well, and
bis anxiety for the union Of oil honest men for the
rebuke of that breach Of faith is also very well;
but il seems an odd way Of showing sincerity Ia
these ayowals 10 accep. fragmentary nomination
for the Presidency, to pretend that she very union
which he thus contends for, cannot take place
without an alleged danger to the Union OF the
States, and then to set up that danger as q good
reason for splitting up the opposition and SO
allowing the regulators of tue public faith
whom he denounces, to have every thing their
own way. Of what ayais all the CommO-
dsre's il Indignation sgainst the reputation Of the
Missouri Compromise, when that indignation re-
cults in course of conduct, which 30 far as it has
any effect at all, operates, and can only operate to
strengthen the hands of those very repudiators'
While the Buchaneer and the Republican parties
are ranging side by side like two hundred-gun ships,
the Comm, dore may think il very gallant to put
out in his little jersey cockboa expecting by the
flourish of his hand to part the combatants and to
induce them both to submit to his views. The
Commodore may thAk it very gallant, but as to
the rest of the world, the few who in the excite
ment Of this busy contest may happen to cas-. q
glance at him and his craft will be apt to set him
down as of thoee persons Of weak disor dered
understanding who have no idea Of the relation
| between means and ends.

KANSAS IN THE HOUSE.
,ndenes Of The N. Y. Thbune

WASHINGTON, Saturday, June %, 1856.
The debate on the Free Kansas bill draws to
e,ose. Mr.. GROW having given notice that he shall
move the Previous Question at O'Clock, which is
this moment; but Mr.. EVANS Of Texas has just
commenced Pro-Slavery speech, which under
stand Mr.. MORRILL, of Vermont, 10 to answer,
which will postpone Mr.. Crows motion till near
s o'clock. OF course, efforts viii be made mean.
time to adjourn the House, and perhaps with sue
cess; those who urge an early close Of the session
being generally as anxious to close each DAY
sitting o. early and with as little result as possible
So think the chance against getting on tho Pre-
yious Question to-day. If it should be reached
and carried, the House will probably adjourn lm'
mediats,y on ord ing 1t, and lot Mr.. Grew, %
Chairman of the Territorial Committee, close the
debate on Monday, or as soon a. the subject snah
again be reached. Then the vote will be taken-s
very close one undoubtedly trust the bill
will prevail, though Dunn, Haven, w&tsey ana
Walk will undoubtedly oppose it to the Hanost.
There has been very spirited debate to day Do
tween Me.srs. STEPHENS of Ga, and l. d. CAMP
BELL of Ohio, wherein the Nebraska bill, the ms@
ner Of its passage, the doctrines Of our Revou'
tonary fathers, the origin and rights oil sisVeV

Cuba. The e1ampis would be bad. Freedom Ia
H. psss would be inconsistent with sAveholding In
Missouri and the institution attacked In Missouri IL
attacked In every other State. 1t is on arguments
like these that the shareholders rely to justify them
in the violation of solemn compact and in the At
tempt to steal Kansas just as Mr.. Buchanan pro-
posed to steal Cuba. 1t 10 pretended, indeed,
that the Missouri Compromise was unconstl-
tutional aid that is ICED as reason for
the passage of the Kansas-Nebrasks bill;
and 90, If in the course Of events Mr.
Mr.. Buchanan's project was to have been carried
out, doubtless some equally plausible pretense
weuld have been found for the war with Spain,
which wonld have led the way to Cuban emancipa-
ton. We may be permitted to doubt, however,
if the pretended unconstitutionslity Of the Mis-
souri, prohibition would have troubled the Souls
of the shareholders any more than tho unques.
tiopsble unconstitutionality Of the annexation of
Louisiana and of Texas troubles them, had not
pretended constitutional scruples been convenient
under which to cover up q robbery. Indeed, sub
seouent events have shown how much the robbery
wss the main-point. The Kansas.N Nebraska bill,
the Repeal Of the Missouri Com promise, and the
inpudept swindle of Squatter Sovereignty, which
Douglas so notoriousy borrowed from Cass, not
having effected the purpose of transferring Kansas
to the Shareholders, the Border Ruffians were
then introduced on the stage, with the applause
and appreciation of the whole South. and were
employed to apply the principles of the Ostend
Msnftsto to Kansas by seiziog it with the strong
bond for the benefit Of Slavery. And the cOunte-
nance given to tbese Border Rufians in this opera
ton by Mr. Pierce AID his Cabinet abundantly
shows that, whatever the reason might have been
for not carrying out the the doctrines of the Ostend
Confertn nee in relation to Cuba-whether fear of
foreign powers or Jealousy of Mr.. Buchanan-the
earliest domestic opportunity, esteemed safe one,
was greedily snatched at of seeking to apply the
principles of the Ostend Manifesto for the joint
benefit of the shareholders and the oficeholders.
There is, it thus appears. logical consistency
the indOriement simultaneously given by the Gin
cinnati Convention to the attempted seizure of
Kansas and the BuchaneeriDg principles Of the o.
tend Manifesto. Both rest on the same basis; and
ii is impossible for The Journal Of Commerce. or for
anybody else, to separate the two. They are chain
shot of which, if the one is swallowed the other
nu.t go down too or el.e the patient will choke in
the operation. Our conservative friends who are
making up their minds to swallow Buchanan and
the subsection Of Kansas, need not make up any
mouths at the Ostend Manifesto. The Ostend Man.
iiesto is nothing but theory expressed in words;
what is now going on In Kansas is that theory at
Il npted to be embodied in facts.
New-York daily tribune. [volume] (New-York [N.Y.]) 1842-1866, 1856-06-30

That the Southern politicians, and the Southern
citizens generally, should find in Mr.. Buchanan's
signature of the Ostend Manifesto nothing to object
TO- ia perfectly natural; and we are surprised that
The Washington Union and our Journal of Commerce
should spend their powder in attempting to raise
smoke in which to cover up that manifesto. Sure
ly no advocate of the Kansas. Nebraska bill, no
journal which justifes the repeal Of the Missouri
Compromise or which sustains the present efforts
of the Slave States, the Border Rufians, and the
General Government, to force Slavery into Kansas,
ought to have, or reasonably and consistently can
have, the slightest objection to the Ostend Mani.
festo, or to the most thorougbgoing Interpretation
which an, body has ever proposed to put upon it.
The doctriae of the Ostend Manifesto is simply
this: that slaveholding, like necessity, knows no
law: that with shareholders might makes right; and
that If they regard Cuba as essential to their &C.
cu,i,y and to the security Of their pet institution
in that ea.e Cuba is what they have right to, aud
in that case, if they cannot get it by fair means,
then let them get it by foul means. II Spain will
not s.ll il, then we will take it BY force. This is
the doctrine which the Ostend Manifesto lays down
the, re,cally, but which, 30 far as relates to Cuba,
our Government wa. prevented from carrying out
by discreet drad Of the French and British na.
| yier.
This great doctrine, however, thus enuncisted
by Mr.. Buchanan at Ostend, was not destined tc
,tmsin a mere theory. The slaveholders being
disappointed in its application to Cuba, Douglas
eIdeayored to console them and to cut Blu.
chanan cut by applying it to Kansas. The argu
mert brought forward in behalf Of the attempt t.
steal from the Free States the Territory of Kan
,as, is the very same argument BY which Mr.. Blu
cbspsn Undertook tn prepare the way for the steal
Jig Of Cuba. 1t is said that the possession Of
Kansas by the Shareholders is essential to the So
curity Of the Save Power. They want it By
wsy Of preserving that control Of the SENATE
which otherwise they may be in danger Of lo+ins
and besides, the very same objection is urged t.
Kansas as Free State, which is brought forwart
| in the Ostend Manifesto against emancipation il
