Gov. Seward in NichiGan..Grand
Demonstration at Lansing.

LANSING, Mich, Sept. Z.
The progress of Gov. Seward and party
from Detroit, yesterday, was contlhuai
. ovation. On the arrival of the train at the
different stations on the D. M. Il. H.,
crowds of people turned out to greet the dis
tinpuished Senator. At Owosso, where the
party dined, his arrival was announced by the
firing of cannon and other demonstrations,
and the citizens turned out almost Gu nadsse
to do him honor. Addresses OF welcome
were made, to which Seward and Nye re-
sponded. At St. Johns, from whence the
party proceeded in carriages, they were met
by deputaton from this city, and, when
within eight miles of Lansing, by cavalcade
of mounted Wide Awakes and large number
of citizens, under whose escort they arrived
here in the afternoon, and were formally
received by the Mayor in an address OF well
come, to which Gov. Seward responded.
Notwithstanding the unpropitious appear
ance of the weather, this morning, the flow Of
people from the surrounding country was
unprecedented. Delegations in wagons and
on horseback have been pouring in by every
avenue. from an early hour, until the streets
were literally blocked, and the arrivals num-
bered not less than 10000 people.
1le pFOCeSSlou, WAASh ~ ,NN,N. .
at noon, to proceed to the speaking ground,
was composed of large bodies of Wide Awakes
and citizens on foot, several military compa-
MES. and over three hundred wagons, covering
space of about three miles in length. Prom
inent in it were two triumphal cars filled with
young ladies, large platform car drawn by
twenty oxen, with men in the act OF rail-
splitting, sad ipuumefable wagons carrying
rail fences, a deputation of forty young men
from the State Agricultural School, preceded
bv an immense hat-boat on wheels, bearing
rakes, scythes, mauls, wedges, and other
farming utensils, flags and banners bearing
appropriate sentiments and quaint devices,
the whole plentifully interspersed with bands
of music and forming an imposing appearance
AZ it wound its enormous length through the
principal streets.
The concourse of people on the speaking
ground was addressed by Coy. Seward, Gen.
I'VE, Attorney General Howard and others.
A grand torch light procession takes place
this evening.

Dean in WapcIIO.
WApELLo, Sept. 5, 1860.

WAPELLO, Sept. 8, 1861.
: DEAR JOURNAL: =. -.Iowa's dirty orator
} Hon. REQ. H. Clay Dean, favored mike
audience of Democrats and Republic MS wit
one of his peculiarly characteristic harangues
at the Court House, this afternoon. do no
propose to enter into the details of this bill
lingsgate speech, but think few remark
upon the career of this gentleman in this city
would be of interest to your many readers.
Nearly at the commencement of his speech
he managed to kick up muss with young
man in the crowd, and leaping from the stand
aourishing big cane over his head, was about
to attack him, when he suddenly encountered
little obstacle in the shape of about t,oenty
hve Republicans, and the valiant Henry
returned to his stand in double quick time.
The opinion that prevailed in the crowd
which was composed, by the way, Of about as
many Republicans as Democrats that
he would have been considerably "chawed
up" if he had not been taken away by his
friends. The spectacle of candidate for
Presidential Elector rushing through crowd,
trying to accomplish, by the use of a. club,
that which he could not by argument, must
be very pleasing one to the respectable
portion of the Democratic party.
Through the agency of your correspondent,
Dean was presented, during his speech, with
the challenge of Mr.. O'Connor, published
recently by you. After reading it, he pro-
ceeded to decline the challenge uncondition-
ally, and for reasons, emanating from the
source they did, insufficient and ridiculous in
the extreme, and the more so from the fact
that he said, upon opening, that he had hoped
and expected to meet Mr.. O'Connor at this
place. ~
twill be well, perhaps, in connection with
this article, to give you another story to add
to the catalogue of his achievements. A few
years ago, while Dean was pastor of the
congregation in this city, he made
them the proposal, as they were trying to
raise means to pay for their new church, that,
# they would raise $40 to pay his expenses,
ne would go East and obtain money by
donation to help them out of their difficulty.
The money was raised, and he departed and
he next that was heard Of him by his expect
mt parishioners. he was Chaplain of the
United States Senate! This story comes
rom responsible source, and is we'll known
n this vicinity.
This, with the profane and obscene char
cter Of his address here, has made him very
in these parts; and, if for nothing
lse, the name of Henry Clay Dean upon Ito
Douglas electoral ticket will defeat it in
.ouisa county. U.

Its Fruits.

In New Mexico, which Douglas boasts
became slave territory by virtue Of his doc
trine of non-ntervention, they have white
slaves as well as black ones. By the laws
prevailing there when that Territory was
acquired by the United States, slavery had
been abolished, and the land was free from
the curse Of human bondage. Under the
Joint operation of the Dred Scott decision and
Squatter Sovereignty, that land has been
converted into a widespread slave empire,
where white as we'll as black men are enslaved.
A white man becomes q slave, and his children
inherit his condition Of slavery, upon the
non payment of debts or the non-fulfillment
Of contracts-a process which operates to
reduce the poor and unfortunate to that con-
dition of "negro equality" talked of so much
by the Democrats, which they appear to
regard as such potent argument against the
Remember this, ye ''mud-sills !"
The slave code of New Mexico, which the
Republican party tried to anaul in the last
Congress, applies alike to white men, black
men, Indians, and mixed races. 1t is said
hat more whites than negroes endure the
curse of its barbarous enactments.
But it is in accordance with the Douglas
doctrine that one man may vote another his
lave, and that the Constitution thereupon
recognizes the slave as property like mule.

BUSINESS RULES. REGULATIONS AND CuAR.

BUSINESS RULES, REGULATIONS AND CHAR
aEs IN CHICAGO MARKET. - We are writer
to very often by our friends that wish intor
nation on the subject Of the rules that gov
ern Chicago trade, and the charges that ar
made by business men Tor their services
that we are constrained to give somewhat il
detail the various items of charges and ex
penses.
As the grain trade is one our friends ar
most interestedEin, I'VE will first give th'
expenses of receiving and selling grain
Grain arriving in bulk goes into some one o.
the numerous elevator warehouses after being
inspected, for which fee OF fifteen cents pei
car load is charged by the inspector. The
charge for storage is two cents per bushel
for the first twenty days, and one-half cent
for each ten days after the first twenty, This
charge is generally paid by the purchaser of
the grain. Ii it is desired to bag the grain
up and take it away from the warehouse,
another cent per bushel is charged for the
labor OF bagging, and from halfa cent to one
cent per bushel is charged for carriage, ac-
cording to distance cafted. The Commission
Merchant charges one cent per bushel for his
services in selling. This comprises all the
charges in the market, unless it remain in
store some time, when small charge for
insurance is added to protect it against the
contingency OF fire.
The storage and bagging charges can often
be saved, ii grain Is bagged by the shipper
Commission Merchant direct from the cars,
and if it is grain suitable for milling, can
generally be sold as much as storage and
baggage charges higher, as these charges are
saved, thus making it to the advantage of
tie farmer or country dealer some three
cents per bushel if he has good article to
send it in bagged. If it is a No. article it
will probably sell just as well in bulk, as
millers would not probably want it, and it
would have to be sent to the warehouse any
way.
If the shipper has bags of his own, and
has either very fine lot Ct wheat, or lot
that is damp, so that it would pass rejected
in this market, We would recommend send
ing ii in bags, as in that case the Commission
Merchant can have chance to take it to
some open store, spread it out and dry it,
which when done, if free from must, it will
pass as No. or 2, as the quality will warrant.
These are all the charges contingent on
shipping grain to Chicago. Farmers should
have their grain clean and dry, end as the
present crop of wheat is very plump, it will
generally be graded NJ. l. The inspection
regulations are at present, for Whea: weigh
ing 50 lbs to the measured bushel and clean,
graded No. J, weighing 56tbs to the measured
bushal, No. 2, any weight below Sc lbs, it is
graded rel -cted. Corn posses 10. l when

nothing for his own State that ne Woulo noS

otherwise, and that all the powers OF Chris
