furnished US as much of the pro-

another year to see our agricultu-

From reliable data your committee
would acquaint you with the following
facts respecting your resources. The
Wheat crop of Howard Co. and it's I'M
mediate vicinity, will reach the sum of
100000 bushels. That portion of Min
nesota lying West of Range nine and
South of the South fork Of the Root
River is directly tributary to the line
of the projected route. The wheat crop
of Fillmore county MINI. is 100000
one half of which will come in this direc-
ton. But, taking the estimate at 800,
600 bushels "a little more than 1-3, we
have, as the amount of the produce
which must find a market from our Sec
ton, sum total of 100000 bushels Of
Wheat. The corn crop of this section
is not less than 100000 bushels. The
Dat crop is equal to 100000 bushels
The potatoe crop, is about 100000 bus.
We wish to show you, that to carry
off the wheat crop alone requires nearly
double the sum asked in the way of SUBJ
scription, 100000 bushels of wheat,
supposing 40 bushels to be a load, will
be 10000 loads. If it requires 6 days

Will the Register support Doug
r- .. 1aS4

We have always been loyal Democrat, and
have never voted against regular nominee Of
the Democratic party. Ii, however, Mr.. Doug
las is nominated ut Charleston on the Minority
platform, as reported to that body, we Till not
support him either IN cur columns or at Tie ballot bon.
We have said we would support Mr. Doulas if
nominated ut Charleston. We gave publicity
to this expression Of intention on The suppo-
sition that he would accept the nomination on
a platform Of equality, for we have never for a
moment supposed that he could be nominated
on any other principle. We ask nothing for
the South that we would no. willingly grant to
the North. 1t is on this ground We repcl the
Minority platform report us an Insult to the
South; and if Douglas or any other man is
nominated on it, We will not support him. The
time has come when the South must demand
mud defend her rights, let 1t cost what il may.
Then, IL Mr.. Douglas wants the support Of u
united South, lie must return 10 the good old
Mnd-,narks, for he may rest assured she will
never swallow him on MISREPRESENTATION plat
form-no, never! .u
We Say this much without knowing what the
final result at Charleston is, at the time Of wri
ting We will add further, that, with the lights
We have before us, we endorse the action OF the
seccdlug sIAtcs ind conjure them to cling to
the whole armor Of Truth and Justice, and
stand firm to the last.

DOplglap StrenEth.

After all the Wanting and fussiug about
their strength and the popularity Of their can
didate, the friends Of Mr. Douglas make very
poor show in this rump Of q convention at Char
lesion. Though every friend and supporter Of
Douglas waspresent in the convention aud bis
opponents only had seeded, including the de-
legates Of eight certain Democratic States bis
highest vote has only reached 1901, which is
just ffty-one and half less than the vote re-
uuired 10 elect the candidate. His opponents,
even with this large secession, voted lO8against
him. This is certainly . great letting-down
from the high pretentions Of the turbulent and
clamorous party which 80 perversely and reck-
lessly presses the nomination Of 9 lnao whose
only strength lies in States. where the Democra-
cy are in hopeless minority.
The chief supporters Of Mr.. Deuglas, his
champions, come from the Northwest. and es-
pecially from Ohio, which assumes to be the
file leader Of the Northwestern Demoeracy.-
Mr.. Payne, who reported the Douglas platform,
the most deceptive aud humbugging Of all the
propositions yet presented, which refers TO the
Supreme Court the decision OF question Of
political and constitutional right, 10 from Cleve.
land, the very center Of Black Republication.
Mr.. Pugh. the able champion Of the same par
ty, has just been overwhelmingly beaten for
the Senate. Both these gentlemen are just
from State contest In which they actively
participated, and wherein they had all the In
fuence Of Mr.. Douglas, and his personal aid
The last State contest 10 Ohio was run upon
the Douglas platform. Mr.. Douglas left bis
place in the Senate and took the stump for the
Democratic candidate for Governor. At sew
eral large popular meetings, Douglas intro
duced that candidate, q gentleman Of great
merit and ability, as the future Governor Of
Ohio, and Senator Pugh, in return, introduced
Mr.. Douglas, as the future President Of the
United States
What grim facetiousness does this exhibit
when the result is remembered. The Douglas
candidate was beaten by the largest majority
ever given against the party in the State. This
is practical commentary on, and illustration
Of, the wild and absurd stories lchiedy propa-
gated in the South about Mr.. Douglass strength
! in the Free States. The whole support of Mr..
Douglas in the South is due to this delusion Of
well-meaning but not well-informed persons
that he is the only man who can get the North
| crn votes.
This Is the error of such journals 40 the Bee
and the Mobile Register. The very reverse is
true. With much personal prestige and many
warm friends, Mr.. Douglas is, in truth, the
very weakest candidate 10 the Free States-far
weaker than any good Southern man. The
conservative masses who oppose Black Repub-
licanism at the North, and have q desire to con-
ciliate and be on good terms with the South,
do not consider that they are exhibiting the sin
cerity Of their regard for the South by voting
for man Objectionable to the people OF this Sec
ton. Thisis the true secret OF Douglass weak
nese in the North.-DMa.

Judge Douglas, Platform.

In order that our readers may see wherein
the principles of the Southern Anti-Douglae
and Douglas sections Of the Democracy differ,
as regards the Territorial question, we append
the following resolutions, taken from the plat
form adopted by the Douglas democrats of ILL
nois at their State Convention on the 4th of
January, 1860:
Resolred That the democracy of Illinois. in
State Convention assembled, do reassert and
affirm the Cincinnati platform, in the words,
spirit aud meaning with which the same was
adopted, understood and ratified by the people
in 1856, and do reject and utterly repudiate all
such new issues and tests as the African slave
trade, or Congressional slave code for the
Territories, or the doctrine that slavery is
Federal institution, deriving its validity in the
several States and Territories in which 1t exists
from the constitution of the United States, iu-
stead of being mere municipal institution ex-
listing in such States and Territories under the
laws thereof"
RESOLVED, That the people OF the Territories
respectively shall be left perfectly free to make
just such laws and regulations in respect to
slavery and all other matters of local concern
as they may determine for Themselves, subject
TO no other limitations or restrictions than
those imposed by the constitution Of the United
States.

Slidell q Giant-Killcr.

In recent issue we gave life-like portrait
Of Senator Slidell, in which we styled him a
Prince among Senators, with the carriage Of
Emperor, and possessing the crushing power of
giant. Are not the friends Of non-nterpention
now satisfied with the portrait. The South
may thank such men Ms John Slidell for the
preservation Of her Constitutional rights and
privileges. Had II not been for Slidell, Bu-
chanan, Bright, Fitch, Hunter, Lane, Davis,
and others Of like grit, non-intervention would
have carried the day and the South would now
lie bleeding in the dust. Uncle Johns "death

May-Day Celebration.

MONROE, May 8, 1860.
Dear Doctor: AS it is the duty of some one to
record the pleasant sccnc witnessed last Tues
day evening, why should not that pleasing task
devolve upon MYSELF And, for that purpose,
ask small space in your estimable sheet.
With trembling limb aud throbb:ng heart l
found myself within the enclosure of the AGA
dcmy-the scene Of many childhood's hap
piest day, and from whence has issued the mer-
ry peels Of laughter, vibrating the atmosphere
to the utmost ends Of space and received in
Heaven as pure and spotless as the souls from
whence they came.
We were not long in suspense, for in few
moments there was rush from the door and
one Of the most beautiful pictures that was ever
imprinted on the retina of mans eye. then and
there was stamped on mine; never again to be
erased. The lovely Queen, for such she was,
surrounded by host Of beautiful maids and
Floras, proceeded to the throne, which was de-
corated with flowers and erected for the pur-
pose of coronation. Miss A., the fit emblem Of
purity and innocence, with very appropriate
and we'll delivered remarks, did the honors of
coronation; after which Miss S.. with few well
selected remarks, presented the sceptrc then
came the Floras in nymph-lkc array, each with
flowers, aud. Of course, (beng selected by Miss
X. and othcrs) with appropriate emblems-
though we were unable to hear a word that
was uttered by these beautiful and artless little
creatures Miss G. then, with honor to herself
and the ladies by whom she was chosen, made
n short, though very felicitous little speech;
After which we repaired to the parlor, where
there was quite crowd assembled, though We
were not long in Kidding ourselves of the old
folks, when young America was "hinlsclf
again" FISI.
