A Young Wheat State.

The committee on Farms, o! the
State Agricultural Society Of Wis
copsin, have made careful estimate
from which they set down the wheat
srcp Of Wisconsin for the year 1860,
at twmiy-iwo miiiOns of bushels
This will probably exceed the crop Of
'asy other State in the Union. In
1850, according to .hs Census, the
heaviest vheat-growiDg State was
Penns, lvauis, whose crop amounted to
I5,367,69 bushels. The crop OF
Wisconsin, in that year, was 42S6,-
l31 bushels. For comparatively
young State, the crop estimated for
the present year is amazing. Cor
respondinglv large crops in the other
Weatern States, with good Eastern
and European demand, will 80 far
towards relieving the embOrrassments
Of the West and enabling the farmers
and merchants to pay their heavy IN
debtedness.

Popular Sovereignty vs.. Sguailer
S9YereigntY.

Populsr sovereignty means thr
right Of the people in a Territory
to frame their own Constitution
and when framed, io.rntiry or rejec
it. If ratified, aud accepted by
Congress, it becomes the supreme
law of sovereign State; and if il
abolishes or prohibits slavery-such
being the will of the majority OF
the sovereign people Of "a STATE
Congress will have no right to iGisr.
vene, for the State must enjoy its
rights-rig admitted and sane
toned by Congress 10 accordance
with the Federal Constitution.
But Squstter Sovereignty is a
very different thing. 1t demands
the right of the first mob Of squat
ters in a Terrilory-yhether few or
many-to exercise not only the
sovereign buttbs tyrannicalaulhority
of excluding persons and property
from the public domain, iD defiance
Of Congress, the Supreme Court and
the Constitution of tho United
States; and the only argument ia its
favor is that the Territorial Legis-
lature may tar or ercfude slarery
which IS 40 argument at all, or at
best merely pGt-houss or bar room
logic. The best Illustration is a
partnership Of three men ia business.
They sign en agreement that ,he

In process Of time they fall into

seemed TO have lost his interest in

DOCTRINE OF UNyRIENDLY LEGIsLA-
This is discussed at consider
able length in the World news
paper Of New York. The article
concludes thus: 81,
"When the Douglas party admits
that the Constitution gives TO slave
holders the right to settle in the
Territories they virtually admit all for
which the Breckinridge party contend,
The latter arc the more logical aud
consistent; but both stand virtually
on the same ground. 1t is IN.

like Mr.. Douglas to ooncede the
right Of the South, and then suggest
a way Of rendering that right multi
ty by a trick of territorial Legis-
lation.'

POLITICAL The editor of the Owe
60, N, Y, Gazette, who 10 post
master in bis village, puts the Names
Of both BreckinrIdge and Douglas
at the head of bis editorial columns
He will be lucky if bs saves Lis

And he deserves to lose "his Of.
fioial head" for attempting "snch a

many churches are in part huilt fror

OF ancient Rome, is now a grand an,
imposing wreck Of the most majes
tic and colossal structure ever erecte,
by the hand of man, Shrubs, gras
aud Towering plants cover its walls
and trees are growing upon its mass

ted to Christian worship, and shrine
erected in the center Of the arena
so that now may be heard the voice
OF prayer and the song of praise
instead Of the lions roar and the

Two nights since we were out to view

given to old castles, towers, tenant
less walls and iorsaken ruins by the
soitened light Of the moon on clear
sill night when all around is silent
as death. In pleasing and silent
meditation we fingered about the
walls, inches and ruined arches of
this architectural Colossus ill long
after the Eour Of midnight.
The ruins of the ancient Baths
are also among the interesting OBJ.
jects of Imperial Rome. These were
constructed on an extensive scale
and their remains are found. not
only iu this city, bpt throughout the
Roman empire, and we.e established

benefit, health and accommodation

great port Of entry to Rome when at
The zenith Of its glory, and whence
embarked the victorious armies of
his extensive empire, and the con-
Iuerors whose DEGREES sealed the
lestiuies Of The then known world.
The renowned Iiber which is about
he size Of your Elk, divides
Rome into two parts and empties
nto the sen twelve miles below
reversing country abounding with
beautiful scenery. The river Tiber,
hough small, from its many historical
associations and being SO intimately
connected with the most interesting
vents Of past ages, is, unquestions-
bly,, the most noted of rivers. 1t is
narrow, deep and muddy stream
md, it is said, that in former times,
he whole Roman fleet WAS brought
Up from the sea and anchored With.
u the gates of the city. Along the
whole course Of the river from this
,ity to the sea, are rains of cas-
les, temples, walls and works of
every description of which history
gives little or no account, and their
purposes are involved in conjecture.
In short, the entire country for
great distance in all directions, is
