The Richmond Enquirer, IN one of its recent
issues, hns long article under the above cap
tio, in which the position is assumed that 1.-The
Democratic party of this country possesses, in
an eminent degrees all he requisites for the obser
vance aud maintenance of thni policy which alone
can enable free people to ENJOY the fullest lib
crty without mourning the danger Of self des-
iructon from lis abuse"
This CHIN Of conservatism for the Democratic
party is certainly something novel and refresh
ing We believe the tact is incontroyeflible
that nearly all tho disorders which huvo arisen
in our country are clearly ,raccable TO the agen.
cy of parties claiming to be Democratic, and
that in every single Instance, since the forma-
ton of the Government, when our institutions
regarded as in jeopardy, Democratic mis-.
rne was the cause, and tho conservatism of
Whiggcry was always looked TO IA the sole hope
of relief. II we were in need of an illustration
of the facts just stated. such illustration would
be afforded us in the scenes now enacted at tho
capitol of Minnesota In accordance with law
Of Congress tho people OF that Territory were
authorized to elect delegates to II Convention
called for the purpose of forming State Con
stltution. The law prescribed the qualifications
necessary TO constitute a ,oter-theso voters
made choice of delegates, majority Of whom
happened to be Black Republicans, (and that in n
Territory where Democrats had always had the
supreme power.) The Democratic party, in
stead submitting to the oppressed will fthe PEG.
pie for whose voice they hnvaevcr protested tho
most profound regard and veneration, attempted
to trnmple under foot the laws of sle land and as.
sumo for their minority the right TO govern the
majority.
Although we have no possible sympathy with
the Black Republican majority and regiously
believe them to be corrupt and utterly devoid of
of principle, still we must hold to the notion in
this instance, nj least, that tho majority should
rule, even though that ma ,riy should be Black
Republican. Its very poor rule which works
only one way.
We might also, with equal proprety, point to
the present state of things in Kansas ms afford
ing an additional illustration in point At least
three iourths of the persons now in that Terri
tory are or have been Democrats; and vet we
witness almost every day scenes which would dis
grace the most turbulent aud disordercd nation
on earth.
These and numhercss other instances. which
we could easily adduce, make it appa-
rent TO any unprejudiced mind that Democ-
racy, as understood in this country, is the very
reverse of conservatism, and is totally unfit to
preserve our institutions, or the institutions of
any other people with Republican form of gov
ernment.

TIE Crops IN THE WEsT.--The Cincinnati
Gazette thus reviews the crops prospects III Ohio
and the vicinity
The weather since our last, has been all
that could he desired for the crops. 1t has
been particularly favorable for corn, which has
grown with wonderful rapdty the last ten days
and Is now in all rich corn lands, as forward and
luxurlani as II has ever been at this season, so
that with continued favorable weather, we NAV
say the corn crop will be as large and profuse
as. that of grass and small grain. The range of
temperature has been during the night IS to 92
degrees in the shade. and during the night IS to
IS degrees with some heavy showers. Wheat
has reached maturity in Kentucky. and the har.
restlng of IL in that State is about drawing to n
close. In that state, Indiana and Illinois, il is be
ing cut ia the southern portions aud nearly ripe
in the Northern and before this month i out
the wheat harvesting will be general throughout
the entire Northwest. The oat and grass crops
are very abundant. Owing to the rapid and sim
Infamous maturing of the wheat, consequent up.
on the hot sun and high Temperature, farmers
are kept so busy securing the barley, rive and
wheat crops, they have not had time to prppare
any of consequence for market and several mar.
GELS OF wheat, sold some time ngo and which
were to be delivered last week have not vet come
to hand, and 1t Is not pretty certain that we shall
have any new wheat Of con ,equence in market
before the middle of August There is nov n
good demand for it for export. and buyers from
the Lake towns nnd'from Western New York
have been here seeking to make contracts
