the recent Republican nomination for Supreme
Judge It is pretty clear that The republicans
had it all their own way at the late State Con-
vention which was pretended to be composed o f
men of all PARTIES. Both the nominees are
rank Republicans. The Convention was ru-
led by such men as Thaddeus Stevens, Judge
WImot, Judge JessuP. and others not shade
whittier. They nominated just such ticket as
they wanted, without regard to The wishes oi
their "American" associates. The nominee Tor
Supreme Judge, John NJ. Read, made FIe-
mont speech at Harrisburg IN 1859 so yiIulent-
Iy abusive of Fillmore and his supporters that
every ''American" left the meeting. He is an
admitted Free Trader. We see that the Amer-
can papers in the State have said not a word
in commendaton of Mr.. Read, and many of
them have alluded to him in terms not very
complimentary. We do not believe he will
receive the "American" yote.-Geaius Of Lib

have been a reader Of
your valuable paper, "fhe Gazette" Tor a nnm-
Der OF years, whlIe living 10 ;he Keystone State
and also since l came to this State, in 1884.
Having settled IN the garden spot OF the great
Miami Valley, on two very important rail road
lines, ] have had an excellent opportunity Of
lrarnlng from the travelling community las we'll
as our own larmers) the condition and prospects
ui the crops in Ohio, which with Your permis-
ion / viii give.
Is regards wheat, il is considered by all an
excellent crop; | think can safely say it IS the
best crop Ohio has averaged since | have been
living IN the State. ] am certain ii is Of very
superior quality; there is YET considerable old
wheat in the hands OF our farmers, who are now
getting ii into market
IN nregard 10 Corn, | cannot say as much some
think ;he prospect toIeraJly good; others look
on II as dubious. One thing is certain: we have
il all sizes, qualities and conditions.
The Oats have been nearly all DESTROYED By
the wet and rust | never knew the rust to
make such havoc among oats in my life before
We had fine prospect few weeks ago, which
has been suddenly blasted
Barley in this part Of the State, is good, aad
think is generally 50 over The State.
There is great abundance of grass which
oul farmers are now very busy putting up
Vegetables are generally plenty and low, IN
deed our markets favor the buyers generally
Wheat is now 70cls; Corn, 40, TO 10; Oats, 30
Barley, 30; Hay, 50 per Ton, &c, sc. We
have had, since II ceased raining, about the 9TH
June, an unusually fine growing season, and
can assure you there is no danger of starvation
as yet out here. We feel thankful that amidst
the singularitles of the season we have had
remarkably healthy summer, notwithstanding
the predictions 10 The contrary.
Business Of all kinds has been very duh in
this as well as all other parts of the State this
season. However, The prospects for the future,
have frightened up the faces OF manv of our en-
terprlslng and industrious citizens. Yet, traces
OF last falls fearful crisis, can be seen wherever

years ago there were over 100 buildings erected.

THE AMERICANS MOVING.

The attempt Of .he leaders of the Straight A
mercan PARTY, to transfer their organization to
the Black Republicans, has turned out TO be
signal failure Instead of selling their party,
as they intended doing these venal gentlemen
find that they themselves are the only persons
sold, and that whilst they are landed, high and
dry, on the rocks Of fAbolitionism-those rocks
on which so many parties have split-the mas
ses who were wont TO look 10 them for pilotage,
are themselves steadily and resolutely steering
their ship away from The dangerous cliffs.
The following, which we clip from the Phil
aGelphia Duly .News, will serve 10 show that
the trickery of SpoQpe, Flanagan, Sc, in try
ing 10 fuse the Straight Americans into the Alb
o ition mixture, was far from being successful,
and that the men who stood by Fillmore in SO
and Heiehurst last year, still cling 10 their ma
llonal principle and refuse to amalgamate with
the sectionalists:
