MIR. DOUGLAS AND THE REPUBLICANS. Our
comments upon the recent speech of Mr. Kellogg,
Puoilshed day or two since, were written before
seeing 1t In print-upon verbal accounts Of It,
since reading 1t, we find that he has made his
case out clearly against both MI. Douglas and Mr.
Greeley; proving that the latter urged the support
OF Mr. D. aspirations for reelection to the United
States Senate upon the Republican party upon
the ground that its (the Republcan party,s) cause
would be much more benefited by 1t, than by the
election OF Mr. Lincoln. Also, that the former
Mr.. Douglas-asked for Republican party support
on The ground that, If reelected, he would prove
the unfaitering enemy Of the Democratic National
Administration, and determined supporter Of
the Republican partys cause in the contest of
ieoo-aleglng, at the same time, that being a
young man, he could afford to postpone his own
aspirations for the Presidency. Mr.. Kellogg gave
the name OF the Hon. John Covode of Pennsylva-
MIA, as the gentleman with whom Mr.. Douglas
used that argument. Mr.. Covode was not in the
House at the moment; and thus was not called on
to substaRtiate the allegation Nevertheless it is
Well known that he stands ready So to do when.
ever called on to do SO in open session. He is I'M
oers.ood to proclaim the fact to all who approach
him on the subject
So, too, in the case Of Mr.. Colfax, who sat dumb
under the lnterrogatories of his fellow-members
on that occasion. No man here of an ounce of
Drains doubts that If Senator Douglas loosens his
tongue by calling him to tell all he knows
about his (senator D.'s pledge to aid in the cleo
ton Of F. p. Blair, Jr., to the U. 8 Senate over
his Democratic competitor-SenatoI Green-Mr.
Colfax will, in trice, prove the truth of that
allegation.
III there be those who wonder at the consistency
and persistence of our opposition TO the aspira-
tlons OF Senator Douglas 20 the Democratic Presi-
dental nomination, we point them te these facts
In the secret history of his wiring in and wiring
out during the heated term Of his late often
slve and defensive alliance with the Republican
party, well known to US from the time of their
occurrence-but not within the reach of our
capacity to bring them to the knowledge Of the
public Sustained by proofs carving conviction
with them. That proof can now be brought ont
by the Interpolation of Mr.. Covode upon the DOR
of the Hail, and by the act of Senator Douglas in
calling on Mr.. Colfax to state all he knows about
the Blair affair That Mr. D. does not dare to do
however-lest the result may be, that he will not
receive single vote in the Charleston Convsn-
ton.

sowing wheat after ,ridwIn,er.

1t will be remembered that in the early
part of the month of December last. there
occurred a freeze which pretty well destroy ed
the wheat crop then upon the ground. Some
few fields in certain localities escaped, while
about three fourths of the crop was destroy
ed. This being discovered some time in the
month of January, some of our citizens were
induced to resow; and which was done about
the last of the month. there being spell of
moderate weather. Some made light of the
experiment, as being waste of the wheat
thus sown. TIE experiment, however, was
tried, and the result has fully proven that
wheat may be sown after midwintcr in this
climate and make good yield.
We are informed by DR.. r. Il. Fain. of this
county, that his sowing has produced an ex-
cellent crop, the head and grain being of fine
