LANCASTER COUNTY TOBACCO CROP The
Lancaster county tobacco crop Of 1859 is heav,
ier than ever it was before We cannot ven
tnre make an estimate of how many thousand
acres are now in tobacco, lest we should
make it too small and yet be thought by
some people abroad to be exaggerating We
do not know about the lower end Of the coun-
ty, but in the southwestern and western pOr-
tiOns of it, the traveller is never ont of sight of
tobacco fields So far as We are able to Judge,
the crop is an exceedingly good one-b4Sing

if early frosts do not blight those nearly ready

SENATOR DOUGLAS SPEECH AT CoLUMBUs.-
Senator Douglas of Illinois, addressed the cit
liens of Columbus, Ohio, on Wednesday after
noon in a speech of great length, on Slavery in
the Territories, and the Fugitive Slave law
The speech is given in full in the New York
Times of Thursday. Senator Douglas says
that the Republicans in 1856 claimed for Con-
gress the power to prohibit Slavery in the
Territory, while the Democrats are pledged to
the contrary doctrine of non intervention by
Congress and popular sovereignty in the Ter
ritories. New Mexico and Kansas, he says.
by their legislative acts, present cases which
will put the advocates of these opposing prin-
cipes, both North and South, to the test, New
Mexico having passed lews to protect Slavery,
while Kansas has passed laws to exclude it
from her territory. The Republicans are,
therefore, pledged to exclude Slavery from New
Mexico, while the other side are pledged to
protect Slavery in Kansas. The only course
for the Democracy, therefore, is to adopt the
principle of Popular Sovereignty, and permit
each Territory to do as it pleases. This is the
substance of his speech in relation to Territori.
al Sovereignty and in relation to the surren-
der of fugitive slaves he insists that it is du-
ty imposed by the Constitution, and that every
good citizen must be faithful to that consttu-
tional obligation.

A CLEVELAND Locals EXPERIENCE WITH
HANNIBAL--The local of the Cleveland
Plaindealer relates the following:
1--WE doubt if we shall ever forget our first
view Of Hannibal, which was also our first
view Of any elephant-of the elephant in
short. 1t was at the close Of sultry day in
June. Is. The sun had spent its fury and
was gcing to rest among the clouds OF gold
aud crimson A solitary horseman might
have been seen slowly ascending Il long hill
in New England town. That solitary hor-
seman was US. and we were mounted on the
old white mare Two bags were strapped
to the foaming steed. That was before we
became wealthy, and of course We are not
ashamed 10 say that we had been in the
mill, and consequently them bag, contained
flour and m,ddlin's. Presently large oh
lect appeared ut the top of the hill. We had
heard of the devil, and had been pretty Of
ten told tina, he would have clear deed and
title to US before long. but had never heard
him painted like the OBJ ect which met our
gaze at the top Of the hill, on the close of
that sultry day in June. Concluding (t"r
we were mere youth that it was an &C
centric whale, who had come ashore near
North Yarmouth, aud was making tour
through the interior On wheels, We hastily
turned our steed and made for the mills, at u
rapid pace Once We threw over ballast, al
ter the manner Of baloonists, and as the OBJ
iect gained on us we cried aloud for our pa
rents. Fortunate ly we reached the mill in
safety. and the object passed Us At furious
rate. with portion of a woodshed on ITS
back 1t was Hannibal, who had run away
from neighboring town. taking shed with
him"
