THE COMING WHEAT cRor.

&
4, Advices from various parts Of the coun-
try are being received eR the condition IL
the coming crop. tsoisss n sa,,sl'
In our own portion Of the State the
prospect at present indicates good crop.
In East Tennessee the crop. il said 10
look remarkably well.
From Illinois the accounts are not al al
Of favorable character. The excessive
severity of the winter, unattended, as IL
was, by any considerable quantity Of snow,
which might have protected. the young
blades from the frost, has told damagingiy
on the crops in mary parts Of the Siate.--
In Sangamon County, many fields, IL was
said, had been entirely destroyed, though
from the great breadth Of ground sown, it
is hoped that the yield viii not fall consid.
erably below an average In Mclean
county similar, if not worse condition Of
things is reported. Il Some farmera have
lost their crops, and abandoned all hope
of reaping anything from their fields. In
Marion county, farther south, things wear
a better aspect. The crop is said to be In
a lourishing condition, and the prospect
for the yield to be unusually large is quite
pIomisiHS.
From Missouri the accounts are sparse
and discoaraging In Marion county the
young wheat. looks poorly. In Jackson
and Penton counties, the prospect is ne
better, and unless the spring shall bring
out the crop the yield win be very short,
The Chester (Ill) Herald on the other
hand, speaks, in glowing terms Of the
prOspeetin that county. sesrsA e-'fg
From Virginia the accounts vary, GEN
orally, however,; they are cheerful; and the
probabilities are decidedly in favor Of ss
average crop, ga

D7- The N Y, fFibane has been very
successfully ferreting out the frauds in the
city, at the November election. That is a
task easily performed to a limited extent
but the remedy is the thing. There is moi
a town or county, in any State in the
Union, where frauds we're not practiced by
the democratic party. This is 3 fact well
known; but what the country wants, is q

R1- If southern democracy had taxed
its ingenuity to discover the most effective
means for restricting slavery within its
present limits, it could not have found two
to answer the purpose SO well as land ap-
preparations to the Northwest, and squat
ter sovereignty. And yet we are gravely
told that the latter, especially, is SO small
a matter that democracy considers it be-
meath its notice. lr'3 -iT "a"
Does tho South desire the extension of
slavery Oh, yes; says democracy, that
is the aim and policy of the South And
to carry out this policy, what are southern
democrats doing2 Why, they give mil
lions of acres of the public lands to the
new States and the Territories to build
railroads, which invite population; and,
then, lest southern emigrants may pre-
dominate, they declare by act of Congress,
that aliens may, by their votes, neutralize
those of native and natufalikcd citizens
The floating vote Of the North, which cafi
be concentrated at any given point, before
the people of the South can make up Their
minds to emigrate, is sufficient, under
the doctrine of squatter sovereignty, &c
make any territory free But southern
democracy, not content with giving thi.
advantage, against the South, calls in tn,
alien to aid in crushing our intitutions
and when rebuked for the dastardly sur
render, the answer is--oh, it is of no con
sequence--democraey doesn't stoop to lool
| into saeb small matters. Nc, having nj
nobler end in view than party supremacy
the sacrafce of the South is small mat
ter, if it can purchase that supremacy
There is not decent--a comparative tern
democrat in the South, who would no
have raised his voice against squatte
sovereignty, had he not known that h
must yield the point, or loose the spoils
by the extinction of his party, North
And the proposition to confer the right o
suffrage upon aliens, would have raised
storm of indignation, but for the sam
motives and feelings. q. IHrf -

p@- BY reference to a communication
from Col, NJ D. Davie, in another column,
it will be seen that he has consented to let
his name 60 before the nominating con-
vention, which is, soon to assemble here,
as candidate to represent this county, in
the next Legislature. His announcement
breathes of the right kind of sentiment,
and we hope to see every American in the
county animated by the same spirit, in the
approaching canvass Col. Dayie, as our
representative in the last Legislature, prov
ed himself faithful and useful public
servant, and won, we believe, the unquah-
fed approval Of bis constituents. Should
he again occupy that position, We fcol con-
fdent that our Interests will be safe in his
hands.
Several gentlemen have been named in
connexion with the nomination for repre-
sentative, either of whom would do honor
to our party in that position, and would
guard faithfully the public interests; and
We can only hope that the convention in
making choice, may select the ono who
will accomplish the greatest good.

came in yesterday evenings train from
Tuscumbia, that the ceremony of laying
the last rail was accomplished greatly to
the satisfaction of all present. On the ar
rival at the gap, which required the laying
and fastening of only two rails to allow the
train to pass, Col. j. j. Donegan OF
Huntsville was called to the Chair, when
it was proposed that inasmuch as Gov.
Jones, first President of the Road, had
driven the first spike, he should be reques-
ted to drive also the last. The Governor
responded in short but felicitous speech;
when Gen. Haskell being called on, sug-
gested that, as Tennessee had laid her rail
that Aldban,d should come to the work.
This brought up DR.. Beirne of Hunts
Vile, who made speech full of point and
humor. The company then descended

From the Patriot.
THE NOMINATION FOR GOVERNOR


SOUTH GIBSON, Tenn, M'ch 2lst, 81
EDS. PATRIoT;-We, who are General
Haskell's old neighbors--whe have known
him from youth upwards, have not deemed
it proper or modest to be the first to urge
his name and claims as our candidate for
Governor But since so many express
sions of preference of him have been
published, from all parts of the State, We
no longer hesitate to acknowledge that we
are proud Of it, and that we would hail his
nomination with acclamation. For, the
opinion is almost universal that he is su.
perior, as an orator. to any man living,
combining as he confessedly does-both
argument and ornament-great logical
force with dramatic power Besides, he is
known, and most favorably, to every man,
woman, and child two years old, through
out the State. This is an important item,
especially when We add that he has fought
CALAMITY through two wars, has declined
the highest honors Of the State, on two
occasions, in favor of others; never yet
sought an Office it was several tines con-
ferred upon him in his absence. We
elected him Major General, while in Mex
leo, and nominated him for Congress be-
fore his return, and he never betrayed a
public trust. Like all men of transcend
ent ability, Of genius, he has few enemies
men who envied his talents, or beheld
with jealousy, the lavish outpourings Of
popular favor upon so young man.
But enough. If nominated, his old
neighbors, men who fifteen years ago wit.
messed with prophetic pride the first efforts
of boardless youth, will gladly take the
hand of the matured Statesman, and lead
him to the chair Of State. One word
mere A Urion complete, and embracing
] the shOle opposition to The squAtter Sow
ereign dynasty, must be effected TO insure
our success; and Gen. Haskell is the only
man in the State, Il believe who can con
centrate, discipline, and lead our host tC
victory. 49,
