COMING UP TO THE WoRK.-The Northampton
Courier one Of the oldest and best conducted
Republican papers in the State, which has here
tofore withheld its support from Mr.. Banks, be-
cause Of the doubts entertained in regard to his
position, has, since the delivery of Mr.. Banks's
speech at the Worcester Convention, placed his
name at the head of its columns, and gives him
its hearty support. In abiding to the speech,
the Courier says;
at is frank and candid exposition Of his gen
eral views on the political questions of the day.
The ground he takes is that which was contended
for in the Fremont campaign. and which the Re.
politicians Of Massachusetts and the country have
ever endorsed.
His illusions to Amerleanism-an incidental
part Of his speech-aIe Of the order Of sound
ing generalities. and are inofensive. They may
be construed to mean more or less, according to
the desires Of individuals.
Mr.. Banks now stands before the people as the
representative and eand date of the Republican
party. His defeat would be rejoiced over by the
enemies Of Republication. and his success
would be hailed with Joy by the tried anti-slavery
men Of the country. The views expressed and
the policy marked out in his speech. the views
and policy which even the old guard of anti
slavery men have upheld, aud which must be adj
hered to if fnal success is to be achieved"

qoircr, to glance at the resources of the Re-
public, to measure the present, and estimate
the future by the past The general impress.
sion is, that the crops of 1857 will prove every
way abundant, and, probably, surpass those
of any preceding year. What, then, was the
condition of affairs in 1850, and how may we
estimate the growth in 1857? This can only
be done by comparison, and we, therefore,
give the figures CT 1850, according to the CEN

hopeful and grateful. In this connection, we
invite attention TO the following estimate from
the Cincinnati Gazette
Let now turn to the probable production of
the West in 1857, as compared with that Of

one based on accurate data, in relation to
population, ratios of production, and the as
sumption, that the crops of 1867 will be a full

The Boston correspondent of the Hampshire
Gazette, in abiding to the withdrawal Of Mr..
Samuel Bowles from the Boston Traveller, says
1t is to be hoped that Mr.. Bowles will start
new daily, radically Republican in its tone.
Such paper as the old Commonwealth or Clron-
otype will succeed admirably, and be supported
handsomely by the old friends of the atlas,
Chronicle, and Telegraph"
Wepresume Mr.. BOwles will do no such foolish
thing as to start "radically Republican" news
paper, for no man would be more out of his ele-
ment, in sucha position, than he. The old friends
: of the Chronicle and Telegraph have had album
dant reason TO complain that their views found
no expression in the columns of the TraUeller,
while under Mr.. Bowles's control, and the out
andout Abolitionists have never bern more mis-
represented, vilifed, and abused, in the col
umus of the Boston Post, than they have been by
the Traveller within the last few months.

charge of the business of raising funds for the
amily of the late Douglas Jerrold, reports that

Mrs. Jerrold and her unmarried daughter.
Mr.. Jerrold was a man of large heart, as well

TO witness the love of his old companions, now
that he has left the world, manifesting itself in
such substantial tokens of regard for the mem

John w. McAlpine, whose career as
a confidence man is we'll known to the police
of Boston, was brought up for trial at the
Court of Sessions in New York city, last Fri
day, charged with melting woman named
Boland to commit perjury, by swearing that
she saw his trunk containing over $4,000
worth of goods, money, &c., lost overheard at
Punta Arenas, through the carelessness of
the Accessory Transit Company. As the
woman could not be brought to testify against
him, having been, tempered with by some
party or other, the case did nof proceed, but
the District Attorney had the defendant re-
committed, on a charge of obtaining 5000

representing himself to be lieutenant colonel
in the British army, sent over here by the
British government to purchase an enormous
quantity Of patent firearms.

1t has been discovered, on examine
ton, that former clerk OF the Senate in
Massachusetts, has, in his rage to collect au-
tographs, cut out the names of the signers of
important documents in the time Of the revo-
luton, and then wrote on the margin when

merous letters from Washington and his CO.
temporaries, have been served the same way.

This shows an increase of 90 per cent. on
the production of lS49. The increase of
population is about So per cent; so we have
allowed large margin for more favorable
crops. Looking to consumption of Indian
corn for bread, the consumption of wheat for
-four and seed, in these States, will not
exceed 45,O0O,OO0 bushels, so, that there will
be, assuming an average crop, twenty eight
millions of bushels for expectation. This is
probably double the amount which went out
from the Northwest to the Atlantic coast.

The above may be regarded as the leading
articles. The general list also includes hors-
es, mules, cows, sheep, working oxen, swine,
&c. The value Of the agricultural products of
the United States, for the year mentioned, is
stated at l,299, 1852. In 1854, the esti-
mate was LOGO, OOO,O 900. In 1857, it will
probably go beyond $1,000 900, 900. This is
an immense sum, which is now being gath
cred, so to speak, from the bosom of nature,
and it will, when realized, infuse new life
into every branch of business. The inesti-
mable value of good crop may be inferred
from these facts and figures. No greater ma.
tional blessing could be poured upon the
country. 1t should be remembered, too, that
in 1850 we had but four territories, Minneso-
ia, New Mexico, Oregon, and Utah, whereas,
since Kansas, Nebraska, and Others, are in
prospect. In 1850, the total amount of land
actually cultivated in the United States, was
