Every day we notice from the general
tone Of the Black Republicans Of the
Union. that Lincoln who so suddenly
arose before the people upon the
strength OF the Chicago nomination, is
fast disappearing below the VISUAL line
OF ms former supporters Instead Of
directing their entire energies in assist
ing their candidate as they did for a
few weeks after the nomination, ard as
they were ia duty bound to do, they have
now fixed their gaze solely aud comp etc
ly upon BRECKENRIDGE ticket, and actually
say mocr, do more and work harder for
this than for their own ticket What the
result Of this movement will be, remains
yet to be seen. The Republicans have
undoubtedly arrived at the conclusion
that in their own cand date the elements
OF strength or popularity are not to be
found. consequently they must tax.
some other means TO defeat Douglass

The Oregon Election.

From the rather ambiguous and al
most contradictory character of the
recent election news from Oregon, as
given in our Geographic dispatches OF
the two DAYS past, we have been un.
unable to form any correct idea or opin-
ion Of the true result Of the late cleo
tioa. Our neighbors have already com.
menced Growing before they are sure of
the true result, and it is not altogether
Improbable that they will be notified in
the course Of week or so that this ex-
ultation was altogether too untimely.
We have not yet given up the belief that
Oregon is purely Democratic, and
should the worst news be verified with
regard to this State election, it could
not in any wise tie considered "A test
question, OF any indication that Oregon,
at the Presidential election would not
cast her vote for the nominee of the
Democracy.
Before spen ling much breath about
the matter, we prefer to wait until sou e
intelligence is received upon which
some correct opinion can be based.

A SIGSIFIcANT SIGN.-At the Con-
vent:on in Baltimore we visited the
Douglas Delegation from Alabama at
their room, and found them figuring at
the number of niggers owned by the
seeding delegation from that State.
With all their blowing and striking
about security of their rights and pro-
lection of their slave property, the TWEEN
ty delegates owned by Yancy. owned
less than one hundred niggers, while
the Douglas delegation, who as no slave
code and go::tor nonintervention, summed
up over twenty-five hundred slaves.
A single Douglas delegate from Mis-
sour, Mr.. Davis, owns more slaves than
all the seeding delegates from Louis
lana. Col. Golden Of Georgia, who
would not secede, hut was for non-inter
vention, stated in his address TO tho
Convention that he owned more niggers
than all the tlunky delegates from thai
State. The real slave owners, the sole

the ripening crops. In the southern
portion OF the State, the wheat has al
ready been secured, or is in such an ad,

danger. The yield throughout the State
we would Judge, will be above the av'
erage, and far above the average yields
OF the last three years. TO the north

induced fears of rust; how far these
fears are justified we can not yet say
A few days at the tu'thest will settle
the matter.
Corn, the staple crop of the North
west, and especially Of Illinois, promise:
exceedingly well. The enormous guam
titles of corn, which have been received
here during this spring and summer
show that the estimated yield for 1855
was far below the real and yet We arc
assured from all quarters, that tins year )
crop can scarcely fail to 60 far beyond
that of last year in quantity. OF oats
the prospect is that the yield will be al
most unprecedented. Altogether, We
