with the aristocratic millionaire. And how often
those who would think it degrading to come in
contact with the poor, ignorant plebian any other
time, take the man in rags by the hand, and per-
haps 60 so far as to put his arms around his neck,
and make great professions of friendship for the poor
in order to invegle them into the support of IA
vorite party or candidate But watch them, if you
please after the polls are closed-they suddenly cast
off the hypocritical garb which they have worn

= The New York Q4srisr mad u aqsissr sums up
m article on the hest crop "a thu United States
with the following conclasions:
The wheat crop 10 the several States nay Be con-
sdered as harvested snd partially ready for market
We can therefore, give the following returns with
come degree Of certainty: Ha'as- ftsE
saNsp Yorh-The crop is under the last years
about fifteen per cent, but the quality is much
~ fsnnsyzcania- crop is fully an average one,
but ten per cent less than last year per acre.
Nasyland.-The crop is an average one, but less
per acre and better in quality, than last year.
Nrginia.-The wheat crop in this State is twenty
per cent. less than last year for the amount Of
ground in cultivation, AND the quality not much su-
perior.
North Carolina.-The crop in this State is prob
ably nearer to total failure than in any other
The yield being fully fifty per cent less than last
year, and poor in quality.
Kentucky.-The crop is above the average but
less than last year, the quality is, however, unsur
passed.
1snnessee-The crop is good one, but under
the average in the yield per acre. The quality is
good
Missouri-The amount of the Wheat crop IN this
State is not fully known but it will generally COM
pare we'll per acre with the other Western States.
Ohio-The yield of wheat per acre is fully twen-
ty per cent less than lest year. but from the increase
Of land in cultivation the decrease from average
crop will not much exceed ten per cent
Losca.-The accounts from the centre of the State
In regard to the wheat crop are very gloomy. The
crop win hardly average ten bushels to the acre
Oats generally failure
= Hzinois-In Southern Illinois the yield of wheat
is about fair average, rather under than The
winter wheat has been generally successful, and
spring wheat the reverse. In other parts of the
State the yield will not be half the usual crop.
1ndiana-In Indiana the yield Of wheat has been
from one half to two thirds of the average crop.
Minnesota-Tbe yield of wheat in this State is of
better quality than usual and in quantity nearly two
thirds the usual crop.
Michigan-The yield of wheat in Michigan is
over two-thirds an average crop, and generally Of
good quality.
Wiseonsin-The crop of wheat is up to the aver
age the great extent in cultivation compromising for
any deficiency in the yield per acre.
The upward tendency in Wheat promising good
prices and the present fair prices, will, we think,
make the receipts at tide water this year nearly
equal to those of last year. The quality of last
years Wheat is such that attempt to store il
longer will be ruinous We have reasons therefore
for believing that the movement of the crop to the
sea5oard will be active for the rest of the year.

me by those whom am now addressing and by their
