New York, Sept.16.-Greeley returning
from his Western tour, writes deliberately re-
garding the crops. He estimates that in
wheat and corn, the whole country is efficient,
as compared with full average crop; in oats
from thirty to forty per cent. His estimate is
that the country is short thirty millions of
bushels of wheat two hundred millions of
bushels of corn, and sixty millions of bushels
of oats
The earnings of the Michigan Central Rail-
road for August, show a decline of forty-fve
thousand dollars as compared with the earn
ings last year. The decline for the first week
of August was sixteen thousand dollars.
Daniel Ullman and Thurlow Weed, the
leaders of the American and Republican
parties of New York, had an interview to-
day, an hour and a half in length, endeavor-
ing to adjust the difficulties which caused the
rupture of the double headed Convention at
Syracuse. But slight progress was made,
and the final result is doubtful.
The President has gone to Lancaster, to
look after the Congressional election. He
don't like the prospect of the election in his
home district of Thaddeus Stephens, one of
his Oldest, ablest and bitterest enemies. Nor
is he gratitied at the declaration made by the
Democratic candidate in opposition to
Stephens, that he will vote for the admission
of Kansas, without any regard to the English
bill restriction.

sham HARMONY.

The democracy have been in the habit OF
Boosting of their unity and harmony of senti-
ment so much as to have obtained the soubri-
quet harmonious" This has always been a
most palpable and shameless pretense. They
have always had principles and held opinions
on almost all questions of national policy en-
tirely opposite and contradictory. They have,
however, managed to humbug the people, and
cordially cohere on the paramount questions
of power and spoils. Recent events have de-
veloped their hypocrisy, and we witness the
drawing aside of the curtain and the presen-
tation of a scene of wrangling and conten-
ton, which may be appropriately likened to
the famous fight among the Kilkenny cats.
We have democrats of every hue and shape
and size-for banks and anti-banks; for pro-
tective tariff and against it; internal improve
ments and anti-internal improvements; free
trade and tariff for revenue; Pacific railroad
and against it; Lecomptonites and anti-Le-
comptonites: squatter sovereignty men and
the reverse; anti-slavery extensionists and
slave propagandists; flibustering democrats
and anti-flibustering democrats. In view OF
these various conflicts, correspondent of the
Louisville Deusncrnt, who was a LecOmptonite
suggests that these differences shall be toler-
ated. He says, Il want no party so ortho-
dox that all the men in it believe exactly the
same thing; besides. it is a hypocritical pre-
tense to assert that of such is democracy. A
Kentucky Democrat differs vastly from a
South Carolina Democrat, and yet we all
think he is just as orthodox. 1t is no time to
catechise a man on what be thought of this or
that question; what his abstract opinions are
as to the constitutionality of National Bank
or Protective Tariff, or the question of the
right of South Carolina to secede." All OF
which the Democrat indorses, and thinks will
be indorsed by the mass of the democracy of
Kentucky. Whether we attribute the confess
sion to candor or shamelessness, it is all the
same, and will go far towards opening the
eyes of the people of Kentucky to the true
nature and character of modern sham democ-
racy,

inrerfere In any manner whatever in the local
politics of our sister State, at the same time
assure the Democracy of Illinois that they
have our hearty sympathy and best wishes
in their contest against Freesoilism. Black
Republicanism, Abolitionism, and all other
discordant elements and isnss united in oppo-
sition to the National Democratic party.
Rssolued, That it is the policy of the DEM
ocratic party, in view of the many factions
which will be united against us, no longer
to discuss dead issues, based upon mere
policy. but to united cordially, laboring in
solid phalanx together, in defense of the time
honorrd principles of our party.
Resolved, That in Stephen A. Douglas. of
Illinois, we have always found a staUnch,
unwavering friend and fearless advocate OF
Democratic principles. and that upon his
success in the present contest in Illinois
depends, in great measure, the triumph OF
the National Democratic party in 1860.
The meeting adjourned after giving nine
cheers for Douglas.
AS such facts as the above are not likely
to be republisbed in any of the organs of the
democracy in Tennessee, 1.-THE Memphis appeal
.xceptcd) -government favor being more
powerful than sense of justice to great
leader of whom the dispensers of patronage
are jealous-we print them for the infnrma-
ton of our democratic readers, and also TO
keep our American friends advised of what is
going on. The attempt of the administration,
and the organs of the leaders who are aspir-
ing,to the nomination of the Charleston Con-
ventiOn. 10 break down DOUGLAS, is, we are
inclined to believe, destined to be decided
failure; and if DOUGLAS is not the nominee of
the party in 1860. his friends will dictate the
nomination. None of the leaders, who are
warning upon him, will be permitted to run;
for. without his aid in the great Northwest,
the hopes OF the party for success would be
utterly destroyed.

Hon. THos. l.. HARRIS, of Illinois, recently
had another narrow escape from death,
having swallowed tea-spoonful of arnica
by mistake. The Menard Index says:
''COl. Harris has for the past six or eight
weeks suffered much from rheumatic affec-
ton of the hip, and the consequent general
debility attending it, for which he had been
using remedies both externally and
internally. One of the antidotes recon-
mended by his physician is preparation of
the tincture of arnica, a phial of which he
took up by mistake and administered to him.
self teaspoonful. In an instant he was
aware of the mishap. With the presence of
mind which charac.erizes the man, he called
for and drank down quart of warm water,
which Immediately disgorged the contents of
his stomach and cleansed his system from
the effects of the poison. He has entirely
recovered from it's effects.'

Kentucky, held meeting on the 18th inst,
and recommended Hon. WILLIAM PRESTON, of
Louisville, the renegade Wing, as the next
democratic candidate for Governor. Among
the resolutions adopted, were the following:
''ResolUed, That the administration of the
Hon. James Buchanan is eminently conserva-

ResoLUef, That we hail with pleasure the
restoration of harmony and good feeling in
the Democratic party; the past must be for

have differed with us on recent questions, must

Our Relations with Mexico

Walker Fearn, Esq, United States Secre-
tary OF Legation at Mexico, and Capt Henry,
who went out as bearer of dispatches from
Washington, have arrived at New York. A
letter from the city of Mexico says:
Mr.. Forsyth was instructed to inform the
Mexican Government, in closing his relations,
tibet hat United States had fully decided upon
calling Mexico to an account for the long ca
talogue of outrages upon American citizens
and the American flag. and TO insist that
those Outrages or the like should not be re-
peated in the future. He has therefore de-
manded and received his passports, and will
close the legation about the end of the pre-
sent month"
