MrssEsoTA.-We were grati6ei by visit, on Mon
day, from old Temperance compstriot DR..
CHARLES JEwErT. who has been for several years
recruiting his hcakh and strength farm in Mime
sota and returns to his proper work in the field of
his former usefulness being engaged TO lecture for the
next three months in Massachusetts, haipg from Bos-
ton. He filter for il than now.
DR.. Jewett reports the crops in Minnesota generally
good, and the Corn nearly out Of danger from frost
Oats partial failure; otherwise the labors of
the husbandmsn will be nobly rewarded. Even the
Ohio corn will generally mature without injury and
Sorghum is doing fairly. He gave Us flask of excel.
lent Sirup made above lat. AZ, from canes OF this
years growth, planted the 10Th Of May ard out

We see no reason TO doubt that even Minnesota may
grow her sweetening if she will If the Sorg hum
will not her turn, the Beet. her deep, warm,
rich soil, unquestionably would. And that this branch
OF industry ought TO be prosecuted her soil,
not doubt. Some OF her farmers have given two bush
els of potatoes for pound Of sugar within the present
year. The ike OF that viii never be- after she shall

Iu the speech of Mr. JAMES S. PIKE of Maine,
delivered there during the recent political canvass,
aud printed in another page of this paper, the
reader will find expressed much Of the earnest, de-
termned and most manly spirit that has animated
the Republicans of that State in the struggle which
they have just brought to a cheering and victorious
conclusion. Not only does this speech present a
clear and powerful statement of the relative posi-
tions Of the Republican and Pro-Savery parties,
but it sbounds in original views of the questions
at issue Mr.. Pike is politician who thinks for
himself, and thinks strongly; and his suggestions
always stimulate thoughtteven when they do not
enforce conviction Thus his speech has value
extending far beyond the bounds Of the local con.
test which gave occasion for its utterance; and it
may be proftably consulted by those who are FORM
ing or revising their opinions with view to action
in the approaching elections in this State and else
where We are confident that we shall publish
few documents during the pending campaign which
will better repay a candid and careful study.

The vote in Mime this year IL quite full one
and the result most gratifying. But We believe it
would have been still more so had not two Mem
bers Of the present Congress who have served
scceptably for but single Session been oyerslaughed
by nominating Conventions for 10 better reason
than that other men wanted their places. This
very nearly cost the loss Of one District. and might
have lost another. There il no objection to the
candidates nominated, but good deal to the appa-
rent slight shown to their predecessors. A faith
full Member should be accorded second term;
decidedly capable, efficient, industrious one should
be sent at least thrice, and think still longer.
The North will never have adequate weight in
Congress till her people learn to disregard I" the
"shrieks of locality and the impotence Of per-
sonal aspiration and keep her best men in Con-
gress at least twice as long as is her present Gus
tom.

Our downtown merchants are IN danger Of sff-

We observe that some Southern newspapers are
grumbling as to the expense likely to be imposed
on the United States treasury in the case OF the
SLAYER Echo. First there is Lieut.. Maffit and
the crew Of the Dolphin 10 be paid for cruising np
and down the Gulf of Mrxico-though this, we
submit, ought rightfuIy to be charged to the sup
preston of British outrages and the y!adicaton OF
the liberty of the seas. Then there is the twenty
FIVE dollars head for the negroes which the eaptors
have right to claim from the treasury. Then
there is the cost of keeping them, doctors bills IN
cluded, till they can be sent back. Then the cost
of carrying them back in the Niagara. and then the
fifty thousand dollsrs to be paid 10 the Colonza.
ton Society for their support for year. All this
The Wilmington Journal concludes will make the
cost mount up To some four hundred dollars for
each negro. But then We do not very well see
how the United States can grumble at paving four
hundred dollars to send stolen negro back to
Africa, when they have made not the least hes,-
tstion at the expense of forty thousand dollars or
more TO send runaway negro back from Bostoa
to Charleston or Savannah.

In other words, Wheat, Corn and their pro.
ducts-Flour, Meal, Pork, Bacon and Lard
form the bulk of the exportable produce Of the
Free States, comprising two-thirds (in popula-
ton, trade and wealthy of the American Union;
and if is now probable that, instead of exporting
nearly Seventy Millions worth Of these during
the ensuing year, We shall not be able to spare
half that amount. Can any one doubt that our
Imports must be correspondingly reduced or not
paid for, and that the aggregate capacity Of the
West to pay for Goods, and in fact the entire
commercial activity of the Free States, must shrink
in proportion' Let our importers, jobbers and
merchants give earnest heed to these facts.

Fernando Wood 4 Co. had the door of the
Syracuse Convention politely shown them last
evening, according to the original programme;
when, with good breeding for which our Butt
Enders and Short-Boys have not hitherto had
credit in the rural districts, they promptly took
their leave without waiting to be kicked out. So
the SOfts and Tammanyites have full swing in the
Convention, and il is said that they will proceed
to nominate Judge Amasa J. Parker for Governor,
and Controller Sandford f. Church for Lieutenant,
according to their original programme Then if
they do not hear music from Fernando d Co. We
shall confess ourselves grossly mistaken-uness.
indeed. they prevent the concert by giving up our
local nominations, wholly or mainly, to the Wood
men. After Woods sore experience Of last Fall,
when the same beauties gave him the nomination
but beat him at the polls, We doubt whether he
will be inclined TO trust them. There is evidently
fun just ahead.

Whoever asserts that EDWIN ID. MORGAN is
opposed to the prompt and full completion of our
State Canals, or that he is pledged or secretly
favorable TO any adverse interest, is a willful
calumniator Mr.. Morgan is not d new man-he
Nas for years Il State Senator-and We defy any
man to instance act of his public or private life
indicative of hostility to the Canals. He owns no
stock in the Central Railroad, and ia nOwise identi-
fled with It's fortunes committed to its interests.
No Governor ever elected in this State was more
absolutely free from all complications with private
or local interests at war with the public good.
We beg our friends in the interior not to credit
the stories sAoat that Mr.. Morgan is unpopular
here, where he is best known. We have no Repub-
hcan in the City who is less obnoxious to personal
hostility than he. Long known as among our most
intelligent, energetic aud successful merchants,
utterly free from pride or ostentation, public
spirited, liberal and thoroughly Republican, there
is absolutely no objection here to the man which is
not based on repugnancc to the cause of which be
is the representative.
That much disappointment and regret are felt here
at the failure TO unite the Opposition at Syracuse
IL tiut' put ~ NOT TtsponslUlt lot
that, and should not be- blamed for it. He was an
early and active champion of union of the Oppo-
sition and, We doubt not still heartily desires il.
We have ample reason for our belief that the
effort to elect snti-Lecompton Congressman and
legislators from this City will receive his hearty
support That he would not grudge any personal
sacrifice for the promotion of the good cause we
are confident. But all the stories shoat of back
stairs arrangements in progress for fusion of the
two Opposition State Tickets are to be secuted as
idle tales II any such movement were seriously con-
tempsted, its execution would ofcourse be commit.
ted to unfettered Conventions Of delegates fresh
from the People No other could command or
would deserve popular respect and confidence.
When our readers see in The TRIBUNE call for
such Conventions, they may believe that there is
something in these rumors-and not till then.

than over fifteen bushels per acre, while great
deal growing on rich. mellow SOL Will fall beio"
even FIVE bushels. From all parts OF Ono, indiAhs
and Illinois except 4 very narrow belt of dry, warm
soil on the shore Of Lake Erie, our accounts
indicate a similar deficiency. Iowa had but a thrd
Of Wheat crop. no Oats at all. and Is likely 10
have not more thn hall Corn crop. Mcni2an
end Wisconsin send better accounts but only from
Minneso,a and Kansas have We assurance OF iuii
Harvest. and even in Mime .ota the Oats are deii-
cient The Slave States participate but slightly in
the general disaster, while NewEngiand, Eastern
New-York. New-Jersey and Pennsylvania have
nearly or quite average crops. Very little OF the
Corn We have seen j. yet fl 10 cut up, and frost
within the next week would damage II most seri-
Ou.ly. while warm. growing fortnight would
greatly improve it. We consider every days gen.
rral exemption from frost henceforth as worth at
least One Million Dollars to the Country. And,
masking full allowance for the fact that, while fall
ures and disasters are blazoned good average yields
attract 10 attention and provoke no comment We
are confident Of being within the truth in estl-
mating the Wheat and Corn crops Of the whole
country as twenty five per cent below the average,
while the Oat crop is deficient by thirty TO forty
per cent
The Censu. for 1e40 and that for 1850 show the
following aggregate production of each Of these
staples:

Of course, these bat rough approximations
TO the true aggregates; but the proportion main-
tanned between the returns of l54O and those OF
lS50 prove that they are within the neighborhood Of
the true amounts. Assuming their general accuracy,
the following table will indicate the magnitude of
the present deficiency:

In others words, our total Harvest Of Wheat,
Oats and Corn for the current year will fall below
what might have been reasonably expected as
fellows
whes, % ooc GO Oats, 80 90 co
Indian Corn, bushels. ocJrD
Now the value Of these amounts to the growers
may not exceed One Hundred Millions of Dollars,
but their value TO the Country is at least double
that sum. Our Railroads, Canals, forwarders,
shippers, &C., are deprived of business which they
were prepared to do, and in default of which their
earnings and profits for the next year must suffer
deplorsbly. We consider the country at least
Two Hundred Millions poorer than it would have
been if our crops had proved good.
This deficiency is likely to exert baleful in.
fuence on not only our Domestic but our already
depressed Foreign Trade. The Official Statements
show that We exported in the years ending on the
Ist Of July, 1856 and 1857 respectively (those up
to last July not having yet been promugated) as
