The Baton Rouge Gazette Of Saturday last s.

The Baton Rouge Gazette of Saturday last says:
For the past week or ten days, we have had rain
nearly every day, with showers at night. Should it
continue much longer the cotton crops will be seri-
ously damaged if not entirely destroyed. The fruit
gives evidence of decay from too much rain whilst
the cane and corn are being seriously damaged. The
prediction is out, founded upon some ancient alma
nae, that to have forty days of rainy weather.
If So another year may be added to the two last with
their catalogue of disasters.
The editor of the Advocate has recently seen spe-
cimens of corn bearing from six to ten large we'll
filed ears to the stalk. L
The Iberville Gazette of the 1st inst. says:
Since our last, heavy rains have fallen. The cane
crop is improving slowly. The river and bayou are
falling. The health of our parish remains good.
The Plaquemine Sentinel Of tie same date says:
It has raned every afternoon in this vicinity since
last Saturday and appearances indicate that such
will be the case to-day-( Friday )-eyerv evening
being shrouded in thick wintry clouds, yet contnu-
ing very warm. We are afraid that if this rainy
weather continues for any length of time that it will
prove injurious to planters, whose prospects at
this time are evidently very fattering.
A man who gave his name as VIM. H. Sherman
was arrested in a skif near Plaquemine, few days
ago. in company with negro woman in male cloth
ing. They were locked up. g..
The Caddo Gazette of the 25th ut. has the follow
ing:
We have at length had an abundant supply of rain.
In addition to two or three partial showers, during
the early part of the week. we have had almost in
cessant rain since Thursday which has been of meal
eulabe benefit to the crops. We may now look for
medium crop, if should be so fortunate as to
| cape the usual casualties from this out.

The vicksburg Whig Of the LIST inst says: y

would gladly take all the surplus rain that has fallen
to the share OF our country friends for while our
streets are exceedingly dusty, gardens are being
sc0rched up and many cisterns are dry
P.S-We had glorious rain last evening, one
that made glad the whole face Of nature
In the Clark County Enterprise Of the 2lst ult. we
find the following; 2.-
We have been favored with an abundance Of fne
refreshing showers for the last eight ten days and
the crops fast improving. The corn crop Il suo-
ken Of fine everywhere in the adjacent counties and
will no doubt be an abundant crop. The cotton has
improved considerably, but we hear Of injury already
occurring from too much rain, especially on the low
and wet lands should the rains continue the cotton
will evidently run too much to weed. -
The prospect not favorable for the cotton and the
most desirable weather cannot make the crop good
one
The Columbus Democrat of the 2sth ut. says: a.
We have had an abundance of rain this week which
has gaddsned the hearts Of our planters Corn which
is generally in silk and taele getting to be in q
critical condition. Ten or fifteen days more Of such
dry, scorching weather as we had last week, would
have cut it short some twothirds in many neighbor-
hoods but these plentiful rains, which came in the
very nick Of time, have saved it almost beyond the
reach Of contingency. The crop may now be con-
sdered safe, and if the rains Of Monday and Tuesday
last were general, as from the appearance Of the
clouds they most probably were, there will be q
greater yield Of that indispensable article Of food than
there ever before since the settlement Of this
country by the whites. The potato crop too will now
take fresh and vigorous growth, and vegetables d
all kinds will continue to flourish and be abundant
The cotton crop s unusually backward, but that
is now beginning to look up, and If we are blessed
with favorable weather and late fall we may safely
calculate upon something at least approaching an
average yield of that great southern staple.

We often find in the Democratic press statement
similar to the foregoing. It goes the round every
month or two, claiming to be full and sufficient an
swer to all the American speakers writers in op-
position to the alien suffrage principle. And yet the
statement is unfounded in fact and its inaccuracy has
been over and again disproved. We clipped the
above extract from the (Natchez) Free Trader, in
which paper it appears part of its selected matter
Some four months ago similar statement was made
edtoraly in the Free Trader, and to it we then re-
piled, as we now do to the present.
The Minnesota Territorial bill, instead of receiving
the sanction Of Mr.. Fillmore became law over the
signature Of James K. Polk, Democratic President,
on the Sd day Of March, ,and sixteen months
before Mlard Fillmore became President of the
United States.
There are some other mistakes in the quoted para
graph which may as well be noted. The convention
to organize State government for Minnesota, was
not held under the provisions of the law OF ls9 but
under that Of 1857. That law contained the alien
suffrage principle and was carried through by Goa
lition of Democratic and Black Republican votes.
Cass, Toucey and Douglas equally with Seward, Hale
and Trumbull voting for it. Each of these factions
supposed that by advocating this principle, they
would catch the support of the unnaturaiized for
eigners who throng Minnesota. And the Black Re
puhcans instead of the Democrats, won the day, it
now appears, electing to the convention a majority
of the delegates. Such was one OF Z" the beautiful
effects of alien suffrage
