- The wheat Crop.

There is something remarkable in the
present aspect OF the growing wheat crop.
Wheat never looked lcorse nor better
Unundrained, level lands bud on the same
lands drained, good; on clay naturally y
drained, bat plowed shallow, poor; on tile
same soil plowed deep. toterabts; on ex-
hausted soils, hopeless; on well mauured
soils. of same class, pretty far; on rich
lands, well put in, pefy good; ON the same
lands, drilled in, magnificent
Since our last Issue we have been over
large portion of the State, aud are compelled
to admit that our estimate of the growing
| wheat crop, IN last number, was too favor
1 able The late- unusually dry March has
ruined many fields then hopeful, and the
! plow is rapidly turning them under. This
will likely reduce the number of acres to
| less than last years crop, and makes our
prospect not at all hattering And we feel
! mortified to know that this less--aIl of it
is the result of superficial farming The
Drill is almost an infalhble remedy for WIN
ter freezing, and deep plowing and green
| manureS an intnllible remedy for dry wealth
er.r Why does experience teach no lesson?

rarely heeG ed? The average Increased pro-
duct on 20 acres OF wheat, in one year, will
pay for wheat drill The average increasr

for a subsoil pillow, and the most thorough

morrow, and be reported to the Convention
as basis OF settlement.
Several of the more conservative mem
bers from the South have conferred with
the cotton States, and persuaded them to
remain in the Convention until after the
nomination, with a view of controlling it if
possible.
The present belief now is that there will
be no vote till then, as the Alabama in
structiens fix no point of time for a secess-
ion. It is improbable that contingency
may occur in which John Ceehrane and
others in the New York delegation may go
with the seeding South if the platform be
unacceptable, looking to an ultimate fusion
of the Wood interest in the State of New
York. He will vote for Douglas, unless
sudden reaction occurs, and Douglass
friends claim H52 vores on The first ballot.
The committee on credentials are still in
session. The majority favor the Softs. A
large minority will present report favor
ing the Wood delegation. The Illinois case
is now under consideration. - -s

Geffing Frlghtened.

4 The Democrats are getting frightened
over Col. Henry S. Lanes tour in their
stronghold" the Pocket" The Enquirer
of yesterday copied an article from the State
Sentinel, which endeavored to convince old
line Wings that Col. Lane is not to be re-
lied on as a conservative man.
Messrs. Democrats, your labor to this end
is all in vain. Col. Lane was whig so
long as there was whig party, and now he
adheres to its cardinal Principle-the car
dinal principle of Clay, Webster, Crittenden,
Bell, Clayton, Corwin, and all the glorious
old leaders of that glorious party, viz: Nom
interference with slavery where it exists un-
der the shield of State sovereignty, but op-
position tc It's extension into free territory.
This is Col. Lanes platform, and the plat-'
form of a majority of the people of South
ern Indiana, on the vexed question of slave
~.
You need not tell old Wings that Henry
s. Laue-who was the intimate friend of
Henry Clay in the latters lifetime; who
stood by HIM and defended bis good name
from the venOmous. calumnies Of the very
Democrats who now profess a hypocritical
regard for his memory; who contended
with him on The slump and in the Capitol
ut Washington for those principles of free
government, which have rendered us to-day
SO happy and prosperous we say, you ter
ror-stricken Democratic leaders need not
seek TO avoid your inevitable doom by try
ing to prejudice old line Wings against the
Opposition nominee for Governor. The
means you use to neutralize Col. Lanes eff
forts to overthrow your corrupt party, are
reckless, but will not avail you.
Old Line Wings, go and hear Col. Lane
on Saturday night at Mozart Hall for your
selves, and you will come away satisfied
that he is all right. .t. a.ssf ~

WASHINGTON, April 25--As the FIRST
legislative step on the subject which has
been privately discussed during the past six
months, Mr.. Morris of Illinois urged the pas
sage of a joint resoiutiOn.appointing Mr.. Orr
of South Carolina, Gen. Doniphan of Mis-
souri,, and GOV. Wood 5of Illinois, commits
sioners to negotiate with the Mormons for
the sale of their possessions, on the express
condition that they remove within a reason
able time, from the limits and jurisdiction
of the United States. The commissioners
are to make their report tothe President at
the nextsession of Congress. The ground for
this movement is to prevent q recurrence of
war and bloodshed, as the history of the
Mormons in Missouri andsIllinois shows
that they cannot, owing to their peculiari-
ties, live on terms of peace and good neigh
borhood with contiguous settlements. 1t is
also treated as a question of economy to the
Treasury. tl-5 fa ali4gi
