EXTENSIVE ARRIVAL OF BLACKS FROM CAN

FUGITIVE SLAVES on THE BACK TRACK.-1es-
terday morning the packet Union arrived
from Port Stanley, Canada, with sixteen fugl-

at various periods within the last two years
and who had been living at the negro settle
ment at Chatham, Canada West. Becoming
weary of Canadian freedom, which To many
blacks embraces the exalted liberty OF going
inadequately clothed. and of beng nearly
starved TO death. they were about to return
to the South, pr ferring plantation life to the
responsibilities attendant on n state OF exist

his mother. wife and three children, who
escaped from near Paris, Kentucky. about
one year ago, after the experience afforded
by hard Canadian winter, began to sigh for
their ''Old Kentucky Home" and short
time ago they wrote to their master informing
him of their desire to return, and requesting
him to meet them at Cleveland. When they
arrived on the packet their old master was
there to meet them. and they expressed their
qualification at the meeting in manner
which denoted sincere regard for him.
"Old Aunty," venerable negress, whose
black and shining face stood out in strange

TO the Opposition OF tho sth Com
gressfonal District.

The efforts of your adversaries to defeat
your standard-bearer, Gen. QuARLEs, have
not parallel OF late years. They are sleep
lessly active. They are using every possible
means TO compass his defeat They will make
almost any sacrifice to accomplish his defeat.
Their warfare upon him is most bitter and
unrelenting. In this they have a double
object. They wish to crash out man who
has the boldness to come ont from their
midst and denounce their party Is unfit for
the association and afiliation of patriotic
and independent freemen who regards the
good and glory of his country as Superior
to the allegiance Of party, and TO the spoils
Of office. But their chief object Is to subject
the metropolitan district, the district Of J srK-
SON and BELL, TO the burlesque democracy OF
BUCHANAN and his coniederates. To eifectnate
this aim, Is the secret of their labors. VIII
the Opposition allow It's contamination, either
through their indifference or the ehicanery
of barterG We answer for you, thousand
times. NO! We are invincible. 30 long as
we discharge our duty; but when we depart
from that path We are, as we ought to be,
powerless. We have no fears Of General
QuARIEs. He Ia noble, an able and faithful
champion. He has fought AID is fighting a
brave aud gallant fight He viii lead his
competitor by IN increased majority, If the

Come up. therefore, and respond 10 his exer-
tions. giving him = rousing vote aud soul

SEWING MACHINE FOR AN ENPREsS.-A firm
in Philadelphia, engaged in the manufacture
of sewing machines, have prepared one as a
present to the Empress EUGENE. A letter,
describing it, says:
Upon silver base is embossed in elaborate
elegance the escutcbeon of the Empire, while
the whole rests upon four silver lions, over
which an eagle is perched. The names of
Napoleon's generals and victories appear
upon the sides of the base, and at the end,
upon a square, statuette of the great Ma
poleon is standing. This is done in enamel
led work. and is a gem in its line. At the
side of this figure. the Goddess OF Industry
is seen, and over both a spread eagle is flying,
which, bending forward. forms the vibrating
arm OF the machine, the needle being in the
beak of the royal bird. The plate of the
machine is of highly polished steel, support
ed by four angels Of silver with wings Of gold,
aud in front of the plate is the inscription.
The case and table of the machine is to be
made Of wood from Mt. Vernon.

MONEY, VIOLATES HIS OATH TO SUPPORT
THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES"
That is the broad and unequivocal doctrine
announced by the Union and american. 1t
was the matured and deliberate conviction
of its Judgment. What must be its opinion,
now, of those democrats who believe differ
emily, and who are willing to vote for banks !
What will they think of themselves, when
they vote for the hard-money advocates for

shall vote for banks, is in the estimation OF
the Union and american guilty of perjury, will

The Wheat Crop 1850.

The papers are indulging in speculations
respecting the yield of the wheat crop the
present year. 1t is utterly impossible to
make any estimate which can be relied upon
as correct. from the fact that there are no
means by which the actual amount produced
can be ascertained. All the figuring in the
world is but approximative when it relates to
wheat, no really accurate statistics being in
existence. We have, it is true, means of par
tial comparison:
The production of wheat in the several
States for 1867 and 1858 may be stated thus ::
1857, 10000 900 bushels
1888, l5s 5000 "
The crop of 1859 is variously estimated.
but it is safe to place it at 100000 900 bush-
els.
Now. rs to the amount we shall have for ex-
port. That may be ascertained by calculating
that there are 30,000.000 of people in the
United States, and, allowing five bushels per
head. we have home consumption amount
ing to l50, 900 900, leaving so 000, 900 surplus
for export.
This is a substantial addition to the wealth
of the nation. The aggregate value OF this
years crop is estimated at one Thousand Hilfion,
Of dollars!
So abundant has been the wheat crop this
season in localities where it bad in other years
been seriously injured by the weevil, &C.,
that greater breadth than ever will be sown
this fall. The disappearance of the weevil,
we are inclined to think, is the result of the
frosts in June; SO what was lost by the frosts
has been more than made up by the destruc-
ton of the weevil aud nudge. Another seas
on will settle the question as to whether the
frost has been awarded too much credit in this
respect.
1t will require some little time to prepare
the new wheat for milling purposes. New
wheat is always damp, and requires time to
dry before il will make good -four; but there
is no doubt that the new crop will be hurried
forward rs early as possible. and good prices
will be paid for the first receipts of prime
article.-Neto York Express.

re The Democratic headers nrofe,s

1s- The Democratic leaders profess to
think, and insist that in his letter TO Mr. LE-
CLERC. Mr.. CAss only announced the fact of
the claim Of the French government upon its
previous subjects for military service. This
view has been industriously circulated by the
press and in circulars. But here is what Mr..
CAss said TO Mr.. LECLERC:
The French Government claims military
service from all natives of France, who may
be found within its Jurisdiction. Your nat,r-
diiz0tOn in dis country WILL NOT EXEMPT
YOU from that claim if you should voluntarily
repair thither."
What can be palmer and clearer than that!
1t is saying just precisely this: Mr.. LECLERC,
your naturalization in this country is not
worth baubee against the claim of France
upon you for military service. Let who can
make nything else out of it.

The Hattie .of SoIferinO--A Curious
Calculation.

Calculation.
MEssRs. EDITORS Permit me to call your
attention and that ofthe public to the follow
ing facts:
In the battle of Solferino, between the allies
and the Austrians, il is computed that three
hundred and fifty thousand soldiers were en-
gagged for at least twelve hours. OF these
three hundred thousand were armed with
muskets. Suppose each one fired once in
ten minutes, or six times in an hour, then the
number of shots fired was twenty-one million,
six hundred thousand; or, if once in five
minutes, forty-three million, two hundred
thousand-if once in ten minutes, then only
one shot tells fatally in seven hundred and
twenty, if once in five minutes. then only
one in furteen hundred and forty, because
the number killed from the beginning to the
termination of the battle was less than
Austrians and fifteen thousand Italians and
French. Add to the twenty-one million. six
hundred thousand shots the tens of thousands
OF balls discharged respectively by the Aus
trian and French fields of ordnance, then
| how comforting the truth that not much more
| than one ball in q thousand tells fatally in
| the feld-a thousand fall harmless at the
| soldiers feet. Amid all the improvement in
| this our age, the improvements in the arts OF
war, like the failing of Goldsmith's pious
| Vicar lean all on virtues side. The imple-
ments of death welded at Wagram, Lodi
Austerlitz, and Waterloo were eminently
| more successful.

THoRNE. In all hopeless Opposition counties
and Districts, the scheme is to strike for the
Legislature, and they will swap any way to
accomplish this. That this is a deliberately
formed plan, we have the best Of reasons for
believing. Let our friends set their faces
as flint against such merchandise of their
votes. Vote the straight, clean ticket
throughout. The Opposition can elect both
HAIToN and McCo>Ico. In Sumner similar
efforts are being made in respect to their
floating candidates. Again, we caution our
friends to beware of these insidious maneu-
vres of the foe.

Ifyou are not supplied with tickets, you

that this matter should be attended to at
