MADISON, Wis, Sept. II, 1851.
You are undoubtedly well posted in regard to mat
ers in this State, and aware that we have Just
secured one of the most bountifu hsrvests that ever
gladdered the heart or rewarded the labors Of the
husbar oman. l have never seen anywhere such fine
crops of Wheat, Oats. Barley and other small grain,
as have been produced in this State this and
this remark applies not to locality, or few
ties but TO the entire State. Our Corn crop is back
ward, but heavy, and if our present dry warm
weather continues for ten days. will be quite mature
ard beyond the reach Of frosts. The Potato crop
is excellent and if people do not pay of old scores
ard get out Of debt, il will certainly not be for the
want OF bieads.ufs to do il with Still, we are
ueasurably dependent on the East for money to
cur crop to market and should the financial pressure
or psnic be great that we could not get accommo-
cations for this purpose, condition will be truly
distressing and embarrassing, notwithstanding the ex-
UbeIsnt plenty OF our harvest. We therefore watch
with increasing interest your columns on Commercial
Matters" and hope soon TO besr the report that the
lowest depre ssion has been reached, and that the
money market is easier.
The Conventions Of the two great political parties
recently assembled in this city and made nominations
for the various executive and administrative offices
cf the State. Both Conventions were large and well
ATTENDED. The ProSavery Convention was the first in
the order of timebayng assembled on the 10Th ult.-

There was considerable log rolling aud pipe laying,
plotting and contemplating among the disnterested
ard truly patriotic members, ard hard things were
said about rival candidates, and the previous course
of this and that; but the great magician of Wis

Washington in making oil appointments in this State,
snd equally OmDpotent at home in putting up for Office

Indeed, it is no more than justice TO say that Gov
BaTstow Owned a majority OF the delegates to the
Convention he really owns the greater part Of the
politicians Of bis party in the State. so when they
meet together they are not likely to do anything to
offend him. II i, not the strongest recommendation

10 ihe Barstow faction. The People, somehow, have
taken up the idea that this class of men not more
honest than they should be. So. since the Conven-
ton adjourned and for popular effect, very strong
effort has been made by the ProSavery press TO Gre
the general impression that their ticket s not con-
posed entirely Of the adherepts of Gov Bsrstow B1t

ton will be TO cut down materially the vote for Mayor
Cross. The Mayor, however, has united MS poticai
fortunes with tbose Of Barstow, and ougnt not and
probably does not desire to win triumph that he
csruot fairly promote the interests Of bis leader

The platform adopted by the Convention is more OBJ.
iectiOrable than the material Of their ticket. OF
course the Convention expressed abiding confidence
in ard heartily ndor.ed the genuine Democracy of the
National Administration. The decision Of the Su-
meme Court in the Dred Scott received the
cordial and united approval Entire in the

has become the test Of Democracy here elsewhere
