Mr.. Miller followed in s speech Of one hour

and happy manner, the Inconsistencies Of Mr..
Andrews arguments, and stripped modern pop

up in its true light to the condemnation Of IN
enthusiastic audience. It il conceded on ill
sides that Mr.. Miller 10 altogether too heavy for

power to keep them awake, even if he did not
make them Wide Awakes. During his address
there was no appearance Of WEAKNESS, but .
feeling OF enthusiasm pervaded the whole mass.
Mr.. Andrews had the wind up, in which he
showed that he and his favorite candidate had
been completely wound up by MIR. Miller
At the close Of the meeting. which was at late
hour, the Wide Awakes gave three rousing
cheers for Honest Old Abe and Hamlin, which
aroused the Fast Asleeps to give one long
cheer for Douglas and johnson. Taken alto

the Republican cause in Winona. The speak
ers left town this morning for La Crescent,
where they have debate this evening.

Land. Sales.

Next Monday commence the Land
Sales which is to drive hundreds, We fear
thousands Of families from their homes and
turn these owe, to spectators. Those at
distance can Fave no,idea Of the distress
thus occasioned. In this part Of the
country the distance from market makes
our immense crops quite unavailable in
this emergency: The river has been too
low for boats since the crops came of the
ground, aud hauling grain to St: Paul in
wagons will not pay, 50 that many farmers
with large crops and good supply Of cat
tie are absolutely unable to preempt their
claim !; while some are sacrificing almost
every thing to save their farms. An indi-
vidual who would press claims as the Gov
eminent is now pressing settlers, would
be held in universal execration and would
have some trouble ia escaping Lynch law.
Yet the government ordained for tho pro-
lection Of the people can thus Cypress a
whole class Of its most worthy supporters,
and do it with impunity. Want of money
is the apology, but it does appear doubtful
If government will realize $4,000 cash by
all the land sold. It will be taken up by
Land Warrants, and as these are almost all
in the hands Of spectators, the great COM
mercial use Of these sales is. to increase the
gains Of class Of men who pride them
selves upon living BY their wits, not by
their labor 1t is strange to observe that
these sa'es, though il accordance with the
letter Of our laws, are, in spirit, an act ofpure

CUBA AND THE sLAvE-TRADE.

The journal Of Commerce expresses the opinion
that the acquisition of the Island of Cuba by the
United States holds out the only method likely to
be effective and complete of suppressing the i'm
portatiOn of slaves into that island 1t admits that
there are many serious objections to the annexa-
ton of Cuba, but viewing it as the "end and
I" final break. down Of the African slaye.trade,"
seems inclined to look upon that measure with u
certain degree Of favor. We hope, however, that
before renquishDg its objection to the acquisi-
ton Of Cuba, 10 the expectation that the African
slaye-trade to that island will thereby be at once
extnguished, The Journal Of Commerce will give
the subject little further consideration. To say
that the Spanish Government " continues TO en-
" courage the importation of Africans into Cuba"
and to ascribe the continuance of that traffic to
that fact is pressing the point rather further than
facts will warrant. The Spanish Government has
made the Importation Of Africans a criminal Of
Tense, and has subjected imported Africans TO seiz-
IRE. There is no open encouragement of the
traffic; on the contrary, instances from time TO
time occur of the actual enforcement of the laws
against it. The great difficulty is that the Spanish
officials wink at the violation of those laws, aud
that the slave-traders obtain impunity by paying
high price for it,
TO what extent would the transfer of Cuba to
the United States charge this state of things
Experience here in NewYork tends to show that
United States officials might be induced to wink at
the traffic by the same means which proves so
eiectual with Spanish officials. As to " the great
/" demand for negro labor" and the "ayarice and
"cupidity of Northern ship masters and ship.
" owners" which The Journal Of Commerce recog-
nizes as placing very serious obstacles in the way
of the suppression of the traffic, would they be

THE FARMERS PROSPECTS.

Having Travelled. within the last three weeks,
over n pretty wide extent oi country, stretching
from Lake Michigan il the West to the Merrimao
River in the East, moking frequent inquiries with
respect to the growing crops, We submit the follow
ing conclusions:
The Spring, dough April WIS unusually cold,
has been very favorable to blowing, sowing, and
planting. so that an unusual brtadth of land has
been deeoted to Grain and Vegetables almost uni

but moderate, but We think ii never looked better

been extensively sown, but it is yet too early to
peak of their probable harvest. Rye is always
widely sown at the East, but now looks badly

ence of drouth. The rains of this wetk will im-
prove it, but there can hardly be an average crop.

Grass has been looking badly, especially at tn"
East owing to the almost total absence OF fata

afternoon. A party of volunteers to chasti'e

was much TO the advantage Of the Indians, lasted
some two hours, when denomination Of the vol

An insult to member OF the House is an insult
to the House itself, and is not atoned for till an
apology is made TO the member as well as t. the
House. Southern members are very ready to

never assert its own dignity so long as it shows
any indulgence to conduct Of this Sort 1t

ample apology not only to ITSELF but
to the member so gratuitously insulted
Should this not sufficiently meet the emergency,

The House Of Representatives at Washington
was the scene yesterday Of another of those dis
graceful brawls which have especially distinguished
the present Congress In the course of debate
upon question relating to the Covode Committee,
Mr Tappan, who, having obtained the floor,
yielded it, as he had right to do, to Mr.. Train
Of Massachusetts,. Mr. Houston Of Alabama in q
most unjustifable way objected to tits arrange
ment, end continued taking in spite of many calls
to order. When Mr.. Train was able to make him
self heard, he remarked that he should consider
himself guilty Of gross improperly as member
and gentleman if he insisted on speaking when
he had no right TO the floor. To this perfectly
iustifable remark Mr.. Houston, in that bull
lying spirit so common with Southern mem
bers, chose to take exception, and asked if
it was meant to apply to him? Mr. Train
replied that what he said he meant, and should
stand by it. Whereupon the other called him a
disgraceful liar and scoundrel. A scene ensu-d
which, except that blows were wanting, would be
considered anywhere else a row, and one that
ought to be suppressed by squad Of policemen
