matter, aud has no connection whatever With
The Breckinridge organization, though, perhaps,
intended to operate upon it. The greatest dill
dculty encountered bJ the Breckenridge inte-
rest here is in finding an editor Of sufficient
sponsibility during the canvass, and Of the con-
troll Of the party organ afterward. All their
efforts thus far hare failed, though seconded by
the most abundant means. They desire to cut
loose from the Administration ii possible, know
ing it to be millstone around their necks.

The friends Of Mt. Douglas complain that the

Crops In m lAsour&.

Notwithstanding the uniavorable spring,
owing to the pEotraeted drought, the crops in
nearly every part Of the State are IN very
fne condition and promise IN abundant harvest.
Especially ma3 This be said Of corn, which nerer
looked better Than now. Tho hemp crop, which
Is cultiya.ed to very considerable extent IN the
western ptrt Of The State, has suffered more
than any other.
The grape culture is carried on to 4 large ex-
tent in this State. 4 good crop will be realiz-
ed this year; Tbs climate and soil Of Missouri
arc better adapted to the successful culture Of
the grape than in any other State in the Union.

Two ;mnortant facts are obvious from this
SYNOPSIS. First, while the free population OF

nenrly half as much as that Of the Free staes,
lis use Of the Post Office is only two-t1ths
Us much. That is to say, were the white popu"

ously to convince tho people Of the North
Western States that Mr. Douglas is more un-
compromislngly hostile to the extension Of |
Slavery than the most ultra Republican in the
nation, it is we'll enough 10 bear in mind that |
geut1eman's OWL declaration, recently made
in the q. S. Senate, TINT he had been instru- t
mental in planting Slavery in New Mexico,
Territory five times as large as the State OF
New York; that his associate on the ticket
f,r Vice President is in favor Of Slave Codo
for the the Territories, for the repeal Of the
prohibition Of tie African Slave trade, and in
| favor Of capital owning lqbor; and that Mr..
Douglas supporters at the South are made up
Of the most ultra Of the pro.slarery, filGbus-
| teripg and Cuba~stealing crew Of that section.
We have before US copy Ct the Southern
contedraey, published ut Atlanta, Ga, Of the
9Th inst.-oue Of the two papers Of that State
which support Douglas and johnson. The
editor announces his position in tho follow
ing language:

QUITE TRUE.

It is true, as the Chicago Times alleges, that
tho Republican State Central Committee held
session in Springfield on the 10th Inst
the day before tho Bre.kinridge and Lano
State Convention was held, 1t il also true
that the Douglas State Committee, together
with their Presidential electors and candidates
for State officers, had sessions ut the same
place on the 10th and llthl It is still further
true, that the Republican Committee let tue
"Danitea severely alone, while Jim Allen
and Lewis Rosz, douglas nomineeA hung on
their coat tails all day beseeching them either
t, make no nominations or to nominate
the Douglas ticket over again. Ross WAS
particularly urgent claiming that he bad
never uttered disrespectful word concerning
either Buchanan, Breckenridge or old 10. Lane,
while on the contrary be Ind been pronounced
"Danilo" himself two years ngo. As
matter Of fact tho Republican Committee
meeting was called before it was known that
there was to bc any Breekinridge OF Lane
ticket nominated. Perhaps the Douglas Com
mittee meeting was also appointed in the SAINT
ignorance Of tho "Danite" movement
| "A word as to our opinion Of the BrecAln
ridge movement in Illinois. We are oppose'
to it in toto. We desire to get both faction

Douglas will get as many votes now as b
would have got without any electoral tlcke

EFFECTS OF THE LATE FROST.


Vegetables and fruits in this vicinity have
been seriously injured by the frost Of last
week. The frost of Tuesday and Wednes-
day nights killed the early corn and the
fruit crop in the neighborhood of Hannibal,
Mo.-St. Louis Democrat.
In the vicinity of Louisville, the recent
frosts appear to have been about as destruc-
tive as at any other point from which we
have heard. In gardens where they had no
artificial protection, tomatoes, beans, corn,
cabbage, &C., have been either cut to the
ground or materially damaged. Peas, with
their usual hardness, stand untouched, as
do also radishes, beets, &c. From the
country, several miles out, we hear of sim
lar destruction. t..
We have not had many reports as to the
amount OF damage done to fruit, but pre-
sumo it has been considerable. In Pewee
Valley, correspondent writes Us, the FIRST
bloom of grapes 10 damaged in all VINEYARDS,
and entirely destroyed in some. By the
frost Of Wednesday night and the sunshine
OF yesterday, the young leaves of the cataw-
ba and the bullitt are in many cases
burnt to a black crisp. Apples and peaches,
what there il Of them, do not appear to
be suffering only from the circulio pears,
so far as our correspondent had examined.
we're measurably injured. Louisville Ku.
Journal.
The thermometer on Thursday morning
was down to 50, with heavy frost, and on
Friday morning marked down to %, willing
vines and cutting down all tender plants,
corn, potatoes, and vegetables generally.
On friday evening the frost was not quite
as heavy. The extreme dry weather may
save the apples, but We look upon the fruit
crop rs about gone up. We can only hone
that our fears may not be realized. Fruit
trees were about three weeks earlier In
bloom than last year. The last freeze of
that year here was on April l7sb.- Quincy
