Elections.
The November elections have generally re-
suited in favor Of the opposition a. men and to
the benefit of the Democratic party on principle.

and made common cause with the opponents Of

questions of domestic policy shall be submitted

Provisoism, Lecomptonism or any other ism
c"ncocted at Washington-if this was always
Republican ground. We confess to having made
radical mistake in ever having opposed them
in their views Of Territorial policy. But, if
they compose the larty which fought Douglas
and Democracy on the Nebraska Bill and de-
manded that "Congress should exclude slavery
from all the Territories Of the U. States'-if
they are the fellows who met in convention in
Philadelphia in sc, and passed resolutions em.

shall still insist that in the late elections they
have turned their late principles out Of doors
merely to secure offices for their leaders. OF
this We do not complain. tits the best evidence
Of political foresight the party has exhibited
since its birth in 1854. and as a return to COM
mon sense principles always is fatal to the or
ganization of any party opposed to the Demo-
cratic, we shall look forward with anxiety to
the next campaign to learn what other phase Of
sectional opinion or interest will be assumed in
a re organization of that uneasy element which
aa the short space Of four years has succeeded
in the North by advocating each side of the
only two questions which gave the party birth
"Americanism" and Slavery restriction by
late opponents this last canvass their admi.
ration for Foreigners was 90 extensive that the
German vote was the only vote on which they
proposed permanently to rely, while the Demo-
cratic orators have been thrown in the shade,
by tho earncstness of Republican defamation
in favor Of ''pure and undefled, legitimate
constitutional Popular Sovereignty"
1t is probable that no 1860 will dawn upon
the present Anti Democratic organization.
Crops.
The loss of the wheat crop has caused our
farmers 10 look in some other direction for the
production Of agricultural values. The Chi

all sections it has been tried and what is very
remarkable with new thing. it is Invariably
commended. We need write no long article to
our farming readers about the importance of
having something besides ,cheat to depend on,
nor need we tell them to plant Sugar Cane,
Hemp, Tobacco, or Flax. to set out Vineyards
in this country Of natural grapes, to raise sheep,
and good beads of Hogs that will not require
