1t Is cheering, indeed, to witness the
indications Unpopular favor, which greets
the name of Hon. HENRY B. PAYNE,
in every section of the State. The de-
mocracy regard him as their Joshua, to
lead them on to victory. The people
look upon him as the only man, perhaps.
in the next contest, whose name carries
with it the prestige of success. 1t is
somewhat remarkable that the name of
this noble democrat should be received
with so much favor by the masses through
out the State, who, as if by inspiration,
seems to regard him as the chosen to
lead them on to glorious conquest in the
next campaign! 1t does appear to our
view that, Hon. HENRY B. PAYNE must
be nominated by reclamation, if the del
egates to the sixth of August Conven-
ton carry out the wishes of the people
Ask in my section-everywhcre, what do
the people want for Governor, and spon-
taneously gushing from the heart, comes
the name of HENRY B. PAYNE.-In this
section of the State, his friends arc
named legion, and he will go into Con-
v%ention with the delegates in his favor,
from a majority of the counties. While
the talents and qualifications of other
gentlemen named in connection with
the G~overnorship are acknowledged, the
people, those who do the Uoting say, give
us PAYNE, and success will crown our
efforts b!
We notice the of a number of
gentlemen mentioned in connection
with the Lieutenant Governorship,
among the list, DIR. DORSEY, of Mama
County, who is a gentleman and demo-
crat, a statesman and scholar, has few
equals in the State. His nomination
would be one eminently fit to be made,
and add much to the popularity of the
ticket. The name of Capt. VIM. H.
LYrrLE, of Old Hamilton, that Gibral-
ter of democracy is also mentioned in
connection with the Lieutenant Govern
orship, and we hazard nothing in saying
that, there is no one in the State who
would more CALAMITY bear aloft the
glorious banner of democracy han would

ated, with PAYNE as our leader, u

The Grain Crop.


The New York Tribune of Wednes-
day week says:
awe have very favorable reports in
regard to the crops from Illinois, includ-
ing Bloomington, a section where it was
said the winter wheat was entirely killed.
The letters are cheering from every part
of the State, despite the croakers and
spectators who are ~endeavoring to keep
up high prices. The stock on hand at
Buffalo is over 430, 900 bushels wheat,
and over 800 900 bushels corn and the
stock at Chicago is over 10000 bushels
wheat, and 200, 900 bushels corn. Large
amounts are on way to Oswego of wheat
and corn also a considerable amount
in store at Milwaukee of matchmaking
in store and in transitu including flour.
p millions bushels wheat. With all
this the daily receipts on Lake Michi-
gan of near or quite 10000 bushels
wheat per day, and no prospect of dim
mutton. y gentleman from Kentucky
and Tennessee reports that wheat is
finely headed out, and looks for the
largest crop ever known in those States.
Wheat also looks very we'll in Missouri,
Iowa and Wisconsin.
n letter from Bloomington says:
ave have nothing of Importance to
communicate, except the cheering pros
poets of the coming wheat crops. Both
Fall and Spring on the ground looks
very fine. Most of the farmers that left
their fall wheat to plough up for corn
would not sell the crop remaining now
for $50 to $40 per acre. Large amount
of ground has been sown with Spring
where it is supposed to have been killed
out by the winter, beside as much other.
There is but one sentiment, and that is,
every field looks the best it ever did.
There is, to be sure, time enough for a
partial failure. But in all reasonable
probabilities, Illinois will have all the
wheat the railroads, etc, can handle
this fall"

baE Our neighbor of the Register,
seems to be very much exercised be-
chuse we stated that the opposition de-
sired that Kansas should come in as a
slave State, and promises, if we point
out one individual of the Republican
party of that character, to visit upon
him all kind of direful calamities. We
reiterate the charge, not upon one indi-
vidual, but upon the leaders ofthe Black
Republican party. And if such were
not the case, why did they forbid their
followers to go into the Convention to
be held in Kansas for the adoption of a
Constitution Was it not because
they knew they had a majority, and that
being so, would be compelled to enact a
Constitution excluding slavery, which
would make an end to all our troubles,
and as VIC remarked before, irretrievably
damage or totally destroy the Black
Republican party? Certainly it was.
To have, Kansas at once admitted as a
free State is the thing of all things least
desired by these fauatical demagogues.-
They are bent on having her come in as
a slave State, for that and that alone
will Keep the party together, and to ac-
'complish this end the only sure means
is to force the Convention to be a pro-
slavery one, so that it shall be compell-
ed to enact a ~pro-slavery constitution
They are playing, a contemporary says,
for what is called in chess, a state-mate,
where one wins the game by seeming to
have lost it.. And, now neighbor, when
yon commence the work of "banish-
ment" upon all guilty of the ''infernal
meanness' charged, remember we OBJ
ject to your threat of sending them to
the Democratic party-send them to
your Know Nothing allies-our party
has long ago been cleanscd of all such
i'infernal meanness," and We intend
that it shall remain so.

The Next House Of Representa-
tiVeS.

The recent election in Virginia seems
to render it about certain that the De-
mocfacy will have a majority in the
next House of Representatives ove all
other parties. Their strength will
probably exceed one hundred and
twenty members, while one hundred
and seventeen is a majority in a full
house. In the last House the Democ-
racy had but seventy-six members. So
far as elections have taken place, the
result is as follows:

Another Rev. From inter In

We have againto record notice of the
downfall of a political preacher in Ohio,
a class of men who seem to be peculiar
ly unfortunate in judicial Investigations
about these days. At a recent term of
the Court in Carroll County, o, that
Rev. Joseph Barclay was found guilty
of the scduction and breach of promise
of marriage to Elizabeth Sharp, and
mulcted in damages to the value of S.
900. The Stark County Democrat in
noticing the case says: .a.
The defendant was a preacher of the
Covenantcr or Scceder faith, and was
one of the leading Fremont Kansas
shricking preachers of Carroll Coury.
The evidence on the trial showed that
he had been for some time paying his
addresses to Miss Sharp, an accomplish
ed and highly respectable young woman
of the county, that he had promised to
marry her, and hen with the hellish
Vaccinations of a fiend, but shielded
with the livery of Heaven, he sat about
his work of destruction, and by prayers
and great professions of righteousness,
coupled with his promise of marriage,
he succeeded in seducing the young girl
from the path of virtue, and accomplish
ed her ruin and deserted her. .5i

vessel selected for this duty, intended

This expedition is undertaken at the

devoted the whole of the remains of her

She has purchased for the purpose a

the late Sir Richard Sutton, and now
lying at Aberdeen. This vessel is to be
strengthened for the service she is to
enter upon, and at once got ready for

USIIGY.

The following from the Coshocton
Democrat on the subject of "usury,"
speaks the sentiments of every honest
man. Read it carefully:
We look upon the evils of usury in
the North to be as great as those of sta
rery at the South. How much of suff-
ering and sorrow is brought upon the
poor, who, unable to struggle against
such high rates ofinterest are compelled
to suspend busincss-have their proper
ty sold under the hammer; the family
broken up and separated-hopes blasted
bright anticipations frustrated and
the labor of years sacrificed! These
evils are net merly political they are
social and moral-calling aloud-for re-
form, both in Legislation and public
opinion! We did hope taat the last
Legislature would provide some adcqu-
ate remedy against usury-but it spent
all it's sympathy on the Negro-the
birds and the fshcs-and still loft the
poor white man a prey to the usurer
end the speculator!
