The Cincinnati Gazette says A feature
worthy of mention is the favorable appearance
Of the grSEng wheat crop. Of course the
result cahs" yet be predicted with any de-
gree of certainty, as the crop is liable to ac-
cident or disaster up to harvest; but the pros
pects.are at present favorable for the largest
yield ever obtained in this country. The
weather during the month of February, and
SO far in the current month, has been favora-
bic, and these are generally the most trying
months in the year, on the plants. Nothing
serious is now to be apprehended, except
such disasters ak may occur Immediately pre-
ceding harvest.

The CANDLE Box DEMocR .oY.-It has been
suggested that the supporters of Mr.. Buehan-
an, being committed to the Lccompton Con-
stitution, be hereafter known as the Candle
box Democracy. Certainly they do not stand
upon the Cincinnati Platform, but upon the
Candle-box found in Calhoun's woodpile, and
which contains the famous Delaware crossings
returns; or rather to the system of morals OF
which the CandIe-box aforesaid is q specimen.

ssThe defeat may bring matters TO crisis in
three or four of the Southern States, but q
crisis that can be brought on thus, must in

Just as well come now as ever. Let it come,

the sooner come to the end of his rope.

PARsoN BRowNLow.-The Parson seems to
entertain serious misgiyings about the claims
of the Abolitionists to place in the Kingdom
of Heaven. s'WheB l get there, as expect

more business in our FATHERS Kingdom than
Commodore Paulding had in Nicaragua when
he captured the fllibusters."

MODERN DEMocRACY.-The Washington U
nion, with infinite regard for the will of the
people, gives vent to its liberal feelings in the
following characteristic language:
sUe don't care irhetter the people like or dis
like the Constitution. We are unwilling TO take
any more testimony. The case has been clos
ed after full notice. The verdict has been
rendered, The judgment entered up, and the er-
ecufion is aor in the hands Of the otfcers."
This is democracy with a vengeance.
Such common fellows as the people, it seems,
are no longer of any account.

THE SLAVE TRADE.-In view of events now
occurring in the South, which look to re-
opening of the odious slave trade, the Phila-
delphia Press remarks =
sit viii not surprise us if, at the end of an
other year, the re-opening of the slave trade,
under the joint auspices of Messrs. Toombs,
Green and Slidell, is made the new test of
Democracy. Let those who doubt or deny
the prediction fall back to this time last year,
and tell US how they would have felt if at that
time it had been stated, as Democratic prin-
ciple, that the will of the majority of the peo-
pie should not prevail in the Territories. The
re-opening of the slave trade goes braveIy on,
and SO does the minority rule in Kansas"

SENATE Mr.. Mason moved for fun.
ther consideration of the lIiIl for relief of Com
Jones. \ discussion ensued. His motion pre-.
vailed and the bill was passed.
The Senate then took up the Kansas bill
Mr.. Hamiin, of Me, said that no subject az
equal Importance had been under consideration
since he had occupied Il seat in the Senate aud
he regretted that it had been made Carty
question.
After speaking at length, and without con-
Guiding his speech, Mr.. Hamlin gave way to an
Executive session.
HouSr.-The House resumed consideration
Of Qutman'S volunteer bill.
Mr.. Faulkner opposed to sending vclun-
tccrs to Utah. and belicvydif they were placed
ut the disposal Of thc Executive he wouldn't
find occasion to use them. He thought the
proposition to employ volunteers was dictated
by outside pressure rather than convictions of
sound military policy.
of. volunteers would be appealing to the conn
try's passions, setting the precedent of carrying
death and destruction To our citizens. II was
prolific Of most disastrous consequences. The
war i'll Utah was war against people on ac-
count OF their religion, and whoever engaged
i'll such a war, whether volunteer or rcguiur,
would he guilty Of murder. The Executive has
said plainly it don't want volunteers
Pending the question, the House went into
Committee ON the diplomatic appropriation
bill.
Mr.. Kcitt, in discussing the Constitutional
power to admit new States, defined his views of
political Government as contrary to the views
Of some of his friends. He believed the people
of Kansas cannot change their Constitution
prior to 1864
Mr.. Clemens asked how Mr. Keitt reconCiled
that declaration with the expression in another
part of Lecompton, that the people have right
to alter that instrument.
Mr.. Keitt replied, a general declaration in a
bill of rights is like preamble and is restricted
by the body of the bill itself Should Republi-
cauS tell the South slave state shall hereafter
be admitted TO the Union, they will shake every
pillar in the political Union. Should this poll
cy be carried into effect. 10 Federal tax-gatherer
would ever ngnin tread the Sonth. When the
work of inccndiarism, Propagandism and revo-
luton begins, this Union will end-may be in
