The crops in Wisconsin are exceeding
the calculations of the most sanguine; the
yield to the acre being much greater than
was supposed before tlireshing the grain
One man informs us that he had estimated
the Weld Of his wheat at 20 bushels to the
acre; he had since measured off a single
acre and threshed it. and was astonlshed
to find the product 36 bushels. About the
same result has been ascertalned on all the
wheat thus far threshed in the State

The La Crosse Union SAYS: sThe
competition between the La Crosse Railroad
and the packet company has become inter-
ssting. The lower railroad companies pre-
tend to be out Of the fight, end to keep up
former prices. The Packet companies
are shipping grain for nothing, the charges
all going to the railroads. The Company
get next to nothing on passengers to Mil
waukec and Chicago. Passengers are Ia
ken from La Crosse TO st. Paul for one
dollar. They are taken from st. Paul to
La Crosse for nothing or for any sum they
can hit upon, We do not understand that
The La Crosse road have yet changed their
rates, but we suppose they will. The fight
promises to be a hard one and well fought

COUNTY CONyBNTION-sEcT on
SECTIONs.


The County Convention which met at
Lancaster on Wednesday last, was the lar
gest representative meeting ever held in the
county; the names of delegates will BE-
found In another column. But two Of the
twenty-nine towns were not represented,
they among the smallest in population in
the comfy. The Convention was largely
made up of sueh,as have nsnallyme TO So
iect candidates, manage affairs in County
Boards and act in public matters on behalf
the county. Their past success is an am
pie guaranty that ths candidates presented
by them for election this fall are from among
the best men in the county--notwithstand-
ing the usual objections are being raised.
The Convention was about rs harmo-
ious as usual. there having been raised at
the close Of every past convention, various
objections TO some one Oh. more candidates
also, the charge that this or that part Of
the county is overlooked and not fairly rep
resented in The county ticket. In '58 the
north part Of the county was neglected and
that section was more or less displeased,
while the central part was thought to have
an undue share: at present the north Is
highly pleased, and the west somewhat out
of humor. AT another time in the future
i may be. probably will be the case, that
the west part Of the county will receive the
lions share and other parts be disappoint-
ed and vexed. In '5S, the southeast and
north parts of the county complained for
want Of a representative in the county tick
ct. For nine years the west part of the
county has been represented by but one III
the county offices, Mr.. Beach, while the
Lancaster and Patteyille sections Of the
county have received more than their shares
Of Offices. II was intended by the masses
of the Convention on Wednesday last to
appcrtion the offices through the county,
something Ike equitably; but for want Of
union among the delegates ofwestorn towns.
upon any candidate, that part Of the coun-
~ was grievoilsly neglected. We believe
there are no charges atprescnt against Ian
caster influence, nor against Lancaster dele
gates, as no interference was offered in the
scramble, nor did the delegates of that
town offer any interference, only 70 adro-
cate along with others almost unanimously
"a cleaning out Of those who have held
office 50 long. Wc1add here, in justice to
those who have been in office for several
years, that Messrs, Clark, Beach, Foster;
Mills and Evans were not candidates, four
ofthem having positively declined and but
one having given his assent to re-nolnina-
tion-saying that he was no candidate but
would serve if elected. Perhaps the coun-
ty will never have ADLER or more upright
in office than the gentlemen nam
ed. The objections to their longer contin-
uanco in Office was purely upon the ground
that they had had their share, and that 9th
ers deserved places.

MEASING LANGUAGE-PLAIN MEs FOR
STRONG Work. - PROFESSIONALLY, the
name of Abraham Lincoln came to DO sug-
gested for the Presidency through his ex-
traordinary strength oflanguage. Among
the many specimens Of Lincoln's power Of
language, the followingis enc: said he. in
speaking Of the objects -of the Republican
parry.
"Our policy is exactly the policy of the
men who made the Union-nothing more,
nothing less"
Again, in defining his position on the
negro equality subject while canyassing Ill
inois with Mr.. Douglas, (sec speech at
Charleston, ILL.,, Sept 18th 90, in debate
Mr. Lincoln said:
81 will say then, that am not nor ney-
Ier have been in favor of bringing about il
any way the social and political equality OF
the white and black races; that am no-
nor never have been in favor of making yc,-
tiers of the free negroes, or jurors, or quail
tying them to hold Office, or having them to
marry with white people. | will say in adj
dition, that there is physical difference be-
tween the white and black races, Which.
suppose, viii forever forbid the two races
living together upon terms of political and
social equality; and, so long as they cannot
so ike, that while they do remain together
there must be the position Of Superior and
inferior, that as much as any other man,
am IN faUor Of The superior position being
assigned The white man."
The great men apd patriots Of our com

meaning, thought the country ought to
have such man for President. He was
nominated, and viii be elected.
