WARREN, Oct. 4, 1858.
EDTToR DAILY LEADER We are having a
very warm, pleasant seasoR-much pleasanter
than Autumns which have seen before this
one. The sun seems not unmindful that his
genial rays are needed to add to the farmers
wealth, while anon warm shower gives fresh
ness and Spring-hks yigor to vegetation The
days are mild and balmy, while the nights are
too warm for quiet slumber
The corn crop is wholly out of the way of
the frost, and will be much better than was an
ticipated at the commencement of the season.
Some fields within my observation viii yield a
heavy crop, while the general average will be
equal to the crop of many years past.
The potato crop is a good one, with how
ever a slight tendency to the rot There does
not seem to be well grounded complaint IS
yet in that respect and it may, therefore, be in
ferred that this disease has very much abated
There has been large breadth of the "sweet
potatoe" planted in this region, and a good
yield has been harvested, of very good quality,
which sell from wagons in the streets at the
low and reasonable price of one dollar per
bushel
The political field is now pretty well occu-
pied. The canvass is pretty well under way,
and our stumpers are ''like the Huma, on the
wing" Mr. Hutchins, the Republican candi-
date for Congress, was in Ashtabula county
fur nights last week, accompanied by Mr..
Taylor, our State Senator Mr.. Cox, the busi-
ness partner of Mr.. Hutchins, spent all of last
week in Ashtabula. This week all the availa-
bic material from Tmmbul and MahOning
counties are advertised for Mahoning county
Hon. D. Caldwell and H. A Plumb, Esq, held
several meetings il Trumbull county last week.
There is not very much feeling amnng the Peo-
pie; and fear the vote Of this District will not
be kept up to its usual standard. We will do
however what we can to get the voters out; for
this is all there il of it. Those who hang hack
with the Buchanan Democracy, now, with all the
sins OF the party and administration glaring in
/ the eyes of the public, cannot be converted, un-
/ less BY some unsccountable process Of nature,
/ they can be re-created There Is no hope for
/ them; they could 90 the party and sustain the
/ administration without why OF wherefore" II
| the chief measure was 10 sell their fair daugh-
ters into the awful est slavery known to the
South. If the voters can be got TO the polls,
our vote will tell with the old expressive Ian
guage.
didate for Congress, is also on the stump. He
is haying Shareholders and lawyers alive. lie
is to labor in this lawyer ridden county this
/ week, and is TO hold forth IN our town, at En-
/ pire Hall, on Friday night. He will have q
hearing and there will be lots of fun. The
/ DR.. has published pronunciamentJ (there,
that is big wOrd) in which ne styles himself
the rebellion candidate and appeals in the name
ofthe people, against the arrogant usurpations
Of the Doctors Of the Law" He also talks
about "riding on the wings of the wind" One
of his neighbOrs, a gentleman Of much good
\ common sense, suggested that he had better
''stick to the old mare" DIR. Richmond is a
/ genius one OF that class who aspires to motor
iety rather than solidity Of character, or tena-
/ bic position. The two column circular which he
| Is distributing among the people, to convince
them that they should vote for him, has about
as much sense, Pith or point in it, as there would
be in the rawlings of the veriest lunatic IN New
burgh- The DR.. says he will get large vote in
| Ashbtabula Co. that he knows where the people
| Sleep and therefore knows what he afirms.-
/ apprehend he IS mistaken. He certainly will
not get muoh of a vote in Tumbull or Mahon-
ing. 1 shall be much surprised if it exceeds
one hundred.
Hon. D. Tod, Ex-Minister to Brazil, is the
| candidate of the Democrats. He WAS nominal
| ed without his consent, and when advised of it
wrote letter of declination but the Commit
tee waited upon him a second time, and after
much solicitation on their part, he finally con-
sented 10 let his name stand as a candidate. At
the last gubernatorial election he rendered Gov.
Payne cold and doubtful support, because of
that gentleman's Proclivities to the South,
while since the Douglas division he has sym
| pathized with the Little Giant. The COnVen-
ton that put his name in nomination adopted 4
| resolution endorsing the Administration in all
its length and breadth, without qualification,
and, of course, Mr. Tod stands before the peO-
pie as a candidate approving the policy of the
President, which is position that his daily
conversation gives the lie, as l am informed
Mr. Tod is not on the stump, but IS quietly
mining black diamonds " for the Cleveland
market where he sends them at the rate of
about 800 tons daily. He will get bis party
vote-nothing more.
Among the events transpiring worthy of note
in this little village, is the opening of q new
Liquor grocery, In the old building deserted by
King & Brother. This make the third within
the last three months and swells the number 10
about 25 in the town. This event should be
celebrated by our drinkers and topers with the
firing Ofcannon and the eteetera which surround
all great celebrations. It would seem that
Liquor would be eheapened. or else there must
be an increased demand. In June our citizens
held large meeting in which q Committee was
appointed to devise some place by which the
liquor traffic could be suppressed That Com
mittee IabOred a month when they called a
meeting and submitted their plan which was
adopted. That plan was to raise $1,000 and
elect Vigilance Committee of 80, which was
10 be divided into an Executive Committee, pro-
scouting or Police Committee, DC, &c. This
Vigilance Committee advertised to meet for or
ganization, and when the time arrived three Of
It's members met, but 80 wero missing. Moth
in therefore has come out Of it.
Our County Fair Is to be held on the 18th,
l4th and 18th Of this month. Active prepara-
tons are now going on, and 1t is to be hoped
that it may be good one.
Judge Hoffman is now of on his Circuit. He
is holding Court in Portage county. In Ma
honing county he commences Court on the 18th,
and in Trumbull the 25th Of October.
