Democratic Congressienal Dist let Convention.

CONGRESSIONAL.

A Democratic letter writer at Washing
ton discloses HARLOW S. ORION Of Madi
son rs the Democratic nominee for Con
Dress in the western district Of Wisconsin
and a. being at heart sound on National
(Lecompton) issues He will he expected
to save the Union if elected-that is, take
care of the niggers that they don't escape
and promote discord and sectional strife by
agitating in Congress the everlasting sla-
very question. He belongs 10 the Rufus
Choate, Caleb Cushiog and Everett class
Of dearly beloved mourners for the Union.
All Of them were led of after Buchanan
who was Federalist and afterwards
Joined the FederaIsts then, was elected
Federal President and is now FeGeraiSt,
believing in a strong central government
and submissive State governments. Yer
ily, does the old Federal branch Of the
whig party rule and reign over the re
mains of Jackson and Jefferson! Even
Douglas, Slate-Rlghts Democrat, is not
at home with them. Fedcraiism las tri.
nmphed for a season,--so will the devil he
unclaimed just before the millennium, after
which there is to be peace and good will,
liberty and righteousness.
Whom the DadsIIs of Hammond will
run against Orion is uncertain, though if
Washburn consents to run we think he
will be nominated by acclamation, as be-
FORE Washburn holds that the Union
cannot and shall not be dissolved, land that
all the Choates, Cushings and Ortons in
America couldn't dissolve it if they would
yet might if they could. Republicans
do not admit the possibility of disunion !;
Democrats do admit the possibility-the
admission being father to the secret wish
for dissolution. To admit the possibility
of doing a thing is always three -fourths of
the battle in accomplishing it.

INJURY TO THE CROPS.

The warm and damp weather of the
last week has done serious injury to the
crops in different parts of our State. The
following from the GAINESVILLE Gazette Of
yesterday is sample of the complaints
that reach us:
RusT IN THE WINTER WHEATON
Saturday reports of rust in the winter
wheat were quite prevalent, from the diff
ferent parts of the country. Some fields
are reported as a total loss, while others
are badly damaged. We are satisfied
that there is little winter wheat IN this re-
gion which is not injured to some extent
Spring wheat still gives promise of good
crop. Barley is blighted to a great ex
tent.
We hear similar reports from Milwau-
kee. A gentleman who rode out on Fri
day, as far as Waterford, Racine county
25 miles, informs us that almost every fielc
of winter wheat he passed was more or less
rusted. Happily the weather changed OIL
Saturday, and came off quite cool. This
may check the mischief which threatened
to prove extensive.
The GAINESVILLE Gazette of Saturday last
says:
Within the last two or three days we
have heard very discouraging news con-
corning the new wheat crop; some farmers
tell us that there will not be half croT
in Rock county, unless the weather chan
ges soon,as it is being struck with the rus
in many fields, and there is considerable
complaint of its bhghting. We saw {
few heads of this Wheat, Saturday, taker
from a field few miles south of this city
which was badly blighted. We also hear
considerable complaint about barley. We
learned on Saturday from a reliable source
that the barley crop on Rock river would
be mere nothing, as it had been much af
fected by rust, and that there would be
many fields that would not be harvested
We are inclined to think that barley will
not be as plenty this season as it was last
Winter wheat is also very much damag ed
by rust, and there is not half a crop expec
ted in Wisconsin. The severe hot wealth
err for the past week, with occasional
showers, has been very bad for early sown
wheat in Wisconsin. Barley is already
gone up.

NEW POLITICAL ISSUE.

The National democracy Of Wisconsin
are divided upon the Buchanan issues of
popalar Sovereignty and therefore cannot
agree. They privately announce new
programme of principles. Just now, the
public mind of all palties is divided upon
the new Assessment law, some opposing
the basis of assessing at full value and tax
ing all property equally, some approving
the basis nut condemnng in detail the
mode of assessing, some approving the
law, others opposing it and wishing the
old law restored. Seeing this discomfort,
though not confined to any party, the Or
gus raises the issue of opposition ia blind,
not knowing what may be the result but
Aazarding all upon a chance in one out of
twenty for success.
All freely acknowledge the law imper-
feet, but very large majority, excepting
of shavers, approve the baSis-that all
property should be assessed at full value
and taxed equally.
The new Assessment Law was copied
almost word for word from the Indiana
and Ohio laws, in both of which states
they Were passed years ago by dem
oeratic legislatures and continue to stand
the test to this day of all parties.
Certain chartered cities have not been
brought within the power Of this law, it is
said; but this arises from oversight and
can be remediod. There are other defects
that should be remedied and will be rem
edied.
In the Wisconsin Senate and Assembly,
the members of both parties pretty gener,
ally voted for the law, never dreaming of
party issue growing out OF it. The real
intent of the 4Argas democracy is TO ride
an ANTHRAX hobby and if possible, cut off
all sources of revenue, to flatter the rich
spectators and get their opposition to the
resident land owners, the latter being ia
Sored by the law
The Republicans are too smart to be led
into this new issue; they will oppose the
law, go for amending it or for its repeal
just as they may think best for the public
welfare, and not enlist on any side as a
party.

G OHM u MIC A T E D
ROME AND THE RIBLE.

DEAR HERALD Your correspondent
signing him elf "a Catholic" favors us
with another article which he heads Ger
ror again corrected" But he fails in this,
as in his former letter, not only to correct
error, but in showing where any exists
He stated then, that the Protestant trans
lation of the Bible (English) ''is not cor
rect version of the word of God. that the
original teat was corrupted 10 suit the
Protestant creed" | called on him to
show wherein it bad been corrupted to
suit the Protestant creed" and the answer
get is 81 say in reply what | said be-
fore, it is corrupt and mutilated copy; 1t
a6ounds scith errors wsich wea'e committed
by design. Now sir, / call on him again
to point out the particular 'ctrruptions
and errors" which he says "ARouND" and
''were committed By design, and corrupted
to suit the Protestant creed" The errors
for him to point out, and which he must
PROVE to be errors, must be such as IN
Uolve the Protestant creed, and that they
were "committed by design" | am, and
| hope your correspondent is seeking for
truth, not sound Of words and 'sglittering
generalities." All the extraneous matter
therefore Of his letter, l hope be will not
expect me to refer to. One or two points
which seem to have remote bearing
upon the subject, shall just notice in pass
ing.
He says Protestants reject certain books
as apocryphal, i. e. doubtful. Of course
we do. The church of Rome receives
these books as inspired; and this is one
Of the errors in that church against which
We PROTEST! Perhaps your corresron-
dent intends this reference to the apocry-
phal as conclusive on bis part; especially
as he says "these books were received as
Canonieal by the 3rd Council of Car
thage. l want historical proof, that such
a council as s'tke third Council of Car
thage" ever sat as general Council of the
church. The mere dictum Of Councils
was not conclusive in the days of the Ref
ormatiou. 1t is too late now to produce
any such musty authority In the present
day we test everything by the clear light
Of now,-not by the dim light of an
tlquity.
Your correspondent, instead Of designa-
ting ''corruptions committed by design, to
sust the Protestant creed," gives few
names of Protestant scholars, who advise a
revision Of the present translation, because
some English words, since the present
translation was made have become obso-
lete, and others nearly unintelIigible.-
And be says .sJohn Calvin doubted wheth-
er the Apostles creed was made by the
Apostles So do /. But all this is no
proof that in the ssauthorized version" Of
English translation of the Bible, as it is
called,is "a corrupt and mutilatsd rersion,"
and that the original text was corrupted
by design to suit the Protestant creed
That is the issue your correspondent bias
made. want him to meet it fairly, and
squarely. Because some scholars, as in
disiduals, have objected to some parts of
the sscred canon as received by Protas1
tants; is that any legitimate arpumen

MINING-WEATHER-A DRY TIME COMM
OBSERVATIONS UPON THE TINES.

The spring and summer have been toe
wet thus far for mining, except in the
shallowest, dryest diggings. Miners have
therefore been idle most of the time
Mineral continues to bear good price
better in proportion to the times than any
otler product. A present, no kind Of la
Dor pays so we'll as mining, or would pay
so well were the weather fair. A long
dry period will. probably follow these pro.
tracted rains, when mining may fouris h
beyond any time heretofore. We have
heard several men, not regular miners, say
that when the rains stop they will begin
mining; the same notion is no doubt gen
eral throughout the mines. No danger OF
monopoly, or that too many will resort to
the mines and overdo the business; no
danger that all the mining lands will be
taken up or that so much mineral will be
raised that the price will come down, and
no danger of exhav sting our mines. A
million diggers could not exhaust the mines
or even prove all the crevices in a century.
Land holders may levy restrictions but
they drop off, one after another and their
lands fell into more liberal hands. Plenty
of lands are unencumbered with rents or
prohibitions. Our mines are frees
