THL CR0PS.-By the news from Europe, from
the steamer at Quebec, we hear of decline of
Cd. 1s. in -four in the English markets This is
the natural and necessary consequence of the
bounteous harvest crops throughout Europe; and
is only tie beginning Of general and severe de-
elise.
We had intended to publish, as is usual
at this date, an enlarged and comprehen-
size view Of the progress of the crops a, this
seaon. But after q careful and thorough ex-
animation of the papers from all sections of the
country, we come to the conclusion that all that
can be said about the crops eau be said in a sin
gle sentence. They are universally and through
out the country unprecedented In quantity aud
quality. Never was such prospect of Immense
aud generous yield.
We congratulate the poor Of this and other
cities on the cheering and blissful prospect
Cheap -four il a very small matter to the rich;
to the poor it is a matter OF the highest and
most momenfous consequence. 1t means plenty
happiness, prosperity and health Already do
He see symptoms Of the change in the West
We hear that heavy contract has been made to
supply large quantity Of flour at Louisville
for 81 so per barrel, in March next: and our
own operators here arc looking confidently for o
heavy fall. simultaneously we hear that pota-
toes are selling at twenty-five cents in Cucin.
Da'i, and that contracts have been made to de-
liver lots of 1000 bushels each at Cleveland at
twenty cents.
Conformity with these gratifying tokens of
plenty We note a growing tendency toward q
decline in sugar. There is reason TO believe that
large economy has been and is still being prsc-
tsed in this staple thus diminishlng the de-
pard, while the supply Is being rapidly in
creased. In short time, II is calculated, the
patience IL not the means Of some Of the sugar
growers will be exhausted and their corner"
will break down
Alicg ther though the sugar growers and
farmers might Conceive better state of things.
We never remember a fairer prospect Of material
prosperity for the bulk of the people OF tue
country.

RATHER CHEAp.-Ex Judge Desn made an ap-
pllca!ion to the Surrogate yesterday morning, in
the matter of Mrs. Cunningham, which is curious
to remember. MAY it please the Court" said
this eloquent counsel, in substance, "events are
comforting a new Importance on the litigation
before you. You have now" said he-his air,
manner and tone beaming with the magnitude of
the disclosure be had to make-"you have now to
decide, not only question of marriage, but a
question Of lcgitinSdcy!" About an hour afterwards
Mr.. Oakley Hall had taken the liberty of deciding
the question Of legitimacy by having Mrs. Gun.
ningham quietly locked up en- q charge which
may send her for ten years to the State prisou.

Board IL invested with very extensive powers,

no. thc case To cit with olosed doors, convert
irg their public Board into private corporation,
IL an injustice both TO the people and themselves.
Each one Of the Commissioners may be an Arts
tides in character, and the Board itself may be
impoccsbe IN its movements, but 70 long as the
Commissioners insist on having their proceeding
private they will not be like Casar's wife. We
think, on sober second thought, the Commission
ers will recall their very injudcious resolution.
and at their next meeting throw open their door
and let the representatives of the people see tina.

patriotic feelings in all that has been done in
reference TO that Territory aud that If there was
any leaning at all in their policy either towards
the North or towards the South the latter section,
at all events has no cause of complaint Indeed,
ii is somewhat remarkable that toe Northern ex-
temsts and the Southern extremists as.ail the ad-
ministration on the same Kansas question the
abolitionists asserting that the policy pursued
towards that Territory has been pro- slavery
one and the ul'raists Of the South asserting with
equal vehemence that it has been an Al ii slavery
policy.
Moderate common sense men in both sections
see that the policy pursued by the administration
in reference to Kansas has been neither pro
slavery nor antislavery, but straightfor ward,
fair and impartial and no matter how ex
tremists, North or South, may foam and raut,
Mr.. Buchanan may enjoy the consollng as,urao,e
that his course is approved by all whose approval
is desirable. BE can, therefore, well affDcd to
look with contempt upon the efforts of few dis
appointed, designing or eccentric politicians ia
the South to bring his administra ion into

so despcable as we bold that they are still th4ie
course would be equally indefeosble. They mus.
know that upon the platform which they set up TOR
themselves the democratic party at the North
could never stand. Admitting therefore. for
arguments sake, that they should gain over
msjOrity of Southern democrats to tneir WAY of
thins'ng-what then? Why, as the Northern
wing of the party could not possibly CO operate
with the Southern, the party is4lf would be dis
orgauized and broken up, and black repuolicau-
ism would be lef, in und,spu,ed possession Of the
field.
Bot what care unp,incipled political adven-
tureIs for such fatal Consequences as these, pro
vided that they, 10 their selfish designs, obtaio
temporary triumph? What care they for
party or for county? Nothing. The motto Of
this class with such men rs Hunter and Jefferson
Davis at their head is Rule or ruin" They
would, if they could, obtain the control of the
administration and failing in that, they would
ruin it. 1t is gratifying, however, to know TIA.
their efforts are as futile as they are unjustable
