Union between the Douglasites and
Know Nothings of New York consum.
mated

The negotiations for union between
the Douglasites, and the Know Moth
ing Bell faction, which have been in
progress for several weeks past in the
State of New York, were finally brought
to consunmation between the lead
ers of the two parties on Wednesday
! of last week. The terms of the agree
ment give the Douglas party, two thirds
of the electors, and the Bell Know
Nothings one third. This is the under
standing on the part of the leaders; how
far the voters belonging to these two fac
tons will agree to the sale, and sanction
the transfer, remains to be seen. Only
some year or two ago, the cry of Know
nothingism, constituted the chief politi-
cal stock in trade with the Democracy ;
the "unterri6ed' especially, snutfed blood
and thunder at the mere mention OF
R7aoao Nothing. Now the Douglas
democrats, majority of whom are OF
foreign Lirth, in accordance with the
contract entered into by the leaders, are
asked to take to their bosoms their old
enemies, the Know Nothings, and hold
political communion with them. Will
they do it? With large number of
our adopted citizens, the adherence OF
Knownothingism has apparently in past
years, been almost as intense as their
hatred of the devil. Although the sale
has been made, it is hardly possible that
they will consent to the transfer. The
Germans,it is d,what few there are IN
ranks of the Douglasites, will repudiate
the coalition.

SecdiOERasESMR.

Only short time ago the Democrat
ic party, keptup a continual cry about
the sectionalism Of the Republican par>
ty; it was accused of being purely a
northern party. The Douglas wing of
the Democracy do not delight to fiddle
on that string any longer The indica-
tons now are that the November cleo
ton will prove the Douglas party quite
sectional affair-without a single state
south of Mason and Dixon's line. The
Convention at which Mr.. Douglas re-
ceived his nomination gave him only
Is 1-2 votes from the slave states-not
including the Is bogus delegates from
Alabama and Louisiana. Including the
Is bogus votes, Douglas had 80 10
votes from the South in the convention,
while Mr.. Lincoln had 35 1>2 from the
South, in the Chicago Convention.

Democratic Congressional NOmi-
nation .sr ..a

The Douglas Democracy Of the First
Congressional District, met in Conven-
ton on Thursday last at Milwaukee, and
nominated Jonathan e. Arnold candi-
date for Congress, in opposition to J.
+. Potter. The vote of the convention
GU the first ballot stood as follows:-
Arnold l6, Carpenter, IL, Brown 2,
Coon 2, Pratt 6, Carey 3, Palmer 8.
Mr.. Arnold is an old resident Of Mil
YANKEE, and is accounted a goodlawyer.
He has failings common to many men,,
but for which he might ere this, have
risen to some public distinction. Being
expected to define his position, in res
ispect to his choice between the two
wings of the Democratic party, Mr.
Arnold made speech, in which he scor.
ed down the Breckenridge men, in a
most cruel and unfeehng manner. The
Breckinridgers will most likely repay
Mr.. Arnold, in his own kind of coin
with interest. Mr.. Arnold was former
ly an old line wbig, and remained in the
ranks Of that party, SO long as it mains
tanned a distinctive organization. He
has considerably distinguished himself,
since the passage of the Fugitive Slave
act, as legal adviser ofnegro hunters.
The Free Democrat says: "Mr. Arnold
has been the main reliance of the slave
catchers, the slave stealers, and kidnap-
pers generally ; entering into their de-
fence, and into their service, with zeal
and earnestness, giving abundant assu-
rance that his heart was in their cause"
This nomination of course is not
made with any expectation of success.
Mr.. Potter's vote will very nearly, if
not quite, equal Mr.. Arnold's, even in
the city of Milwaukee mark that

Or have the Douglas papers some
qualms, as to endorsing Johnson's ideas
of Territorial slave code? Mr.. John
son states his belief as follows:
II believe that it is the right of the
South to demand, and the duty of Con-
gress to erte1ad, protection to persons
and property of every kind (i'aclatdirg
slaoes) in the Territories during their

Johnson has also some peculiar ideas
of national policy on other matters,
which perhaps are of less Importance
than his theory of oacaed labor, and
Territorial Slave Codes. Why will not
some of the Democratic journals speak
out, and say what they think of these

The recent action of the Douglas
party in New York, in taking into
partnership the Bell Know Nothings, is
evidence of its weakness and forlorn
hopes. A party which has been bare
ly able to keep the political breath of
life in itself, by claiming to be the only
party really opposed to the prescription
of foreigners, now turns a sumnerset
takes 'Sam" into the ring, and agrees
to share the spoils of victory with him!

Millet.

The Waterto wn Democrat says "Mr
NJ. G. Scott OF Pennington, has this
year sown five acres of millet, on new
and unplowed land, and expects to cut
20 tons, to be used as food for cattle.
He has shown US a cluster of stalks av-
eraging five feet in height, and stream
ing with blades Of grass. In some
countries in Europe, millet forms very
important article of agriculture. AS
food for cattle it is considered in many
respects superior to hay. We also no.
tice that number of our farmers have
small fields of Hungarian grass. We
are glad to see such experiments tried. :"

New York Fusion

1t appears the Douglasite leaders i'll
Wisconsin for some weeks past, have
been kept advised of the progress of
the schemes, to unite the Douglas and
Bell Know Nothing factions in New
York, Even in this quarter, the lead
ing Douglas men, profess to beed in pos
session Of some hidden news, in respect
to the prospect of the New York cleo
ton, and talked with confidence of
something startli ng, which would
in due time appear. While the Doug
las leaders, were shuckling over the
prospective contamination of the union
with the Bellies in New York, they
very likely kept the contemplated bar,
gain, carefully concealed from the for>
eign born members of the party. But
what say you adopted citizens Will
you sanction this joining of hands with
the American party, over which event
the Douglas natives appear to be so
jubilant?

DOUGLAS, POPULAR SOVEREIGNTY
When proposition was made in the
Senate to allow the people of the ter
ritories of Kansas and Nebraska to ell
ect their own officers, DOUGLAS voted
against it. He insisted that the Presi.
dent should appoint his own creatures
as Governors, Secretaries &C.. with
power to veto any bill the Legislatures
might pass. His popular Sovereignty
is sham.

EFse BARLEY Crop OF 1860.

From the annual Barley Circular of Samual Il.
Ford, commission merchant Nc. II South Street
New York, we gather some useful information
with regard to the barley crop of 1860. In New
York Milford says The breadth of groC I'D sown to
barley was fully one-fovrth less than 1853 and the
quantity of spring barley VIII not be more than
one half as much as last year. Some of the bes
barley counties in thai State have nearly aban-
doned spring barley The farmers turning their at
tention to winter barley which is a much surer
and more profitable crop The average yield of
spring barley in the State is estimated at 5a2O bus.
Ter acre aud that of winter 50 to so bus, The
large proportion Of winter barley win probably
bring the aggregate crop of the State nearly up to
that Of last year In most counties spring barley
is resented as light and poor, winter as heavy
and good.
In Wisconsin The crop is represented at I" about
the same as last year, will weigh better but be
some StaiaaG I"
Last year Illinois and Wisconsin sent 100000
bus to this market, but, judging from present adj
vices, heir crop of this year will not be popular
with brewers and maltsters that of last year.
III Canada West the breadth of ground sown is
estimated at twenty five per cent, greater than
last year and the ''yield and quality is said "nev
er to have been better" Last year Canada West
exported near 100000
The barley crop Of 1860 will undoubtedly ex-
coed that of 1859 in quantity, but the average
quality viii be inferior 20 the last crop.
The crop Of Illinois and Wisconsin, and spring
bailey in this State, much poorer than last
years crop. The crop in the Canadas will be the
largest in quantity aud finest in quality ever grown
by them.
The stock of old malt is much less than last
yeas, and the consumption is much larger The
abundance of the crop will insure low
range Of prices, but choice samples will undoubt,
eddy command higher price relatively than last
season.
The production of barley during the past four
years appears to have increased faster rhan the
consumption, aud if it should continue in the same
ratio Inferior samples of barley win only be saiea-
BILE for feeding or distlling purposes

Timbered Land and Prairie LGnd.-It has
general in past years been held that land orig

A gentleman of this city, who has been engaged

that this year, the wheat crop is almost invaria-
bly, the best on the prairie lands. This fact will
do much to remove the prejudice, which has to
some extent been felt against prairie farms the
claim of superiority for timbered lands does not
hold good this year.
