THE WEArHER-CRops, &c.-Thus far V

# TIE WEATHER-CRoPs, &C.-Thus far we have had the hottest summer which has ever been experienced in this portion of country For five weeks, up to the 2Sth ult., no rain &bad fallen, at least not sufficient to save the early corn from serious injury. The rains a week since have been great benefit to late corn and the cotton crop. The prospect of an extra crop of any kind has been pretty much dissipated west of White river, but our friends on the East side say that their pros pects were never finer, especially as regards cotton.
 From Eastern and North Eastern Texas i've learn that crops of every description have been burnt up, no rain having fallen for months past.
 In Alabama and Georgia the corn crop is said to be an absolute failure. q The North Eastern portion of Mississippi has also been visited with an unprecedented drouth, and there are thousands of acres of corn that will not make a peck to the acre. Fears are entertained of extreme suffering for bread in Eastern and North Eastern Texas, Alabama, Georgia and portions of Missis- sippi.
 From all we can glean from our exchanges, the evidence is plain that Arkansas. although suffering to a great extent from the recent arouth, will be enabled to raise her own Dread and some to spare, to say nothing of the cotton crop, which will be, at least, an aver hge one.

EXTRACT FROM MIR. BRECKINRIDGE'S
 FRANKFORT SPEECH, LAST DECEM- BER.
 MT. Breckinridge has been speaking ol the Dred Scott decision, and continues as | follows:
 | We'll, that being the case, and it having been authoritatively determined by the very | tribunal to which it was referred, that Con gress had no power to exclude slave property | from the Territories, and judicially determ- ined that the Territorial Legislatures-au- thorties created by Congress-had not the power to exclude or confiscate slave property, l i confess that had not anticipated that the doctrine of friendly legislation would be sci up. Hence, need not say to you that l dc not believe in the doctrine of unfriendly leg islation; that do not believe in the authority of Territorial Legislatures to do by indirector what they cannot do directly. repose upon the decision of the Supreme Court of the Uni ted States, as to the point that neither Con- eress nor the Territorial Legislature has the Tight to obstruct or con6scate the property oi any citizen, slaves included, pending the Ter ritorial condition. Applause.l
 do not see any escape from that decision if YOU admit that the question was a judicia one. if you admit the decision of the Supreme Court, and if you stand by the decision of tn' highest Court of the country.
 The Supreme Court seems to have recognfz ed it as duty of the Courts of the Union, il their proper sphere, to execute this Constitu l tional right, thus adjudicated by the Supreme Court in the following language. In speak ing of the acquisition of territory, they pro nounce it political question for Congress tt determine what Territories they may acquire and how many. Now mark the words of th' Court.
 THere follows quotation from the de cision.l
 So that in regard to slave property, as Il regard to any other property recognized ant guaranteed by the Constitution, it is the duty according to the Supreme Court, of all tn Courts of the country, to protect and guard i by their decision whenever the question i brought before them. To which only add that the judicial decisions in our favor mus be maintained-those judicial decisions mus
 be sustained. Applause.
 If present remedies are adequate to sustal ! these decisions, would have nothing nor done. with many other public men in tn , country, believe they are adequate. If the are motif they cannot be enforced for tn want of proper legislation to enforce then , sufficient legislation must be passed. or ou , Government is failure. Applause. Gen
 tlemen, see no escape from that conclusion

 EXTRACT FROM DOUGLAS FREEpoRT
 SPEECH.
 tLINCoLN's SPEEcH.-Can't the people of the United States Territories, in any lawful way. against the wishes of any citizen of the Uni ted States, exclude slavery from their limits prior to the formation of State Constitu- ton?
 DOUGLASS ANSWER The next question propounded to me by MT. Lincoln is, can the people of Territory, in any lawful way, against the wishes of any citizen of the Uni- ted States, exclude slavery from their limits prior to the formation of State Constitution? answer emphatically, as MT. Lincoln has heard me answer hundred times, from every stump in Illinois, that in my opinion the peo- pie of a Territory can, by lawfnl means, ex- cude slavery from their limits prior to the formation of a Slate Consultation. Enthusi- astc applause.] MT. Lincoln knew that l had answered that question over and over again. He heard me argue the Nebraska bill on that principle all over the State in 1854, in 1855, and in 1856, and he has no excuse for pretending to be in doubt as to my position on that question. It matters not what way the Su- preme Court may hereafter decide as to the abstract question, whether slavery may or may not go into Territory under the Consti- tuition the people have the lawful means to introduce it or exclude it as they please, for the reason that slavery cannot exist day or an hour anywhere, unless it is supported by local. police regulations. [Right, right. J. These police regulations can only be estab- lished by local legislation, and if the people are opposed to slavery, they will elect repre- sentatives to that body who will, by unfriend- ly legislation, effectually prevent the intro- ducton of it into their midst. If, on the con trary, they are for it, their legislation will favor it's extension. Hence, no matter what the decision of the Supreme Court may be on that abstract question, still the right of the l people to make slave Territory or free Territory is perfect and complete under the Nebraska bill. hope MT. Lincoln deems my answer satisfactory on that point.
