SIcNIFIcANr.-Mr. Carpenter, a promi.
nent and influential Douglas Democrat of
our county, gave in his adhesion to the
Republican party Saturday OF last week,
and gave as his reason for so doing, that
the Douglas party was divided into two
factioRs-apro-slavery and an anti slavery
faction, the former Of which Endorsed the
Breckenridge platform, the latter the Re.
publican. He boldly stated. and he chal.
lenged contradiction, that large majority
ofthe Broderick Democrats I've use Mr. c. :
language wore Republicans at heart and
would ultimately join the Republican
party. For the last fivO years he did vio-
ieueO to his feelings by acting with and
voting for mon who differed fundamental
II with him in principle. Ho was now in
his proper place, where he properly be-
longcd, and If his Broderick Democratic
brethren were equally as honest and man.
", they would DO NTH him. They agreed
with him in sentiment but false pride re-
strained them from following his example.
A great deal Of uneasiness and alarm were
manifested by his old political associates
while he was speaking, and they severely
censured him for exposing family Sc.
crets."

WHoARE TIE DIsUSIoNIs1s!-The queS.
ton is one which it ought not to DO nee.
esSary to discuss, which every intelligent
reader understands, but the extraordinary
assurance Of the sectional press, in charg.
ing upon the conservative mon Of the
country the responsibility for existing
evils, il passed over in silence, may lead
to erroneous impressions upon the pub
lie mind. Truly and forcibly saya the
New York Journal Of Commerce., after
pursuing for q period Of years, the Avoca.
ton Of agitatorS, AsSailing the slave hold.
ing portions Of the Union in the most un.
just and unchriS,ian spirit-after denying
to the people Of tho Slavc.hOlding States
equal rights in Union. designed to pro.
tect alike the interests Of ali, resisting
every proposition Of conservative and
Cnion.loving citizens Of their own section,
for conciliation, harmony and peace
after stirring up strife and commotion and
bitter enmities. until tho cotton States,
no longer able TO endure the association,
no longer willing to submit to insult and
outrage, have been driven out Of the Union
these dcstroycrs Of political unity and
republican institutions, with an efTrontery
which would be surprising, were it not
entirely Characteristic, turn round and
charge tho conservative portion OF their
fellow citizens with being disunionists-
traitcrs-enemies TO their country. These
are becoming stereotyped words in the
mouths Of the anti.slnvcry incendiarics,
who, having destroyed the Union, now
seek to cast the responsibility for the
wrong upon others.
This is downright impotence and
cowardice. Having produced tho result
which all right-mindCd men dcplore, they
should have the manlincss and courage
to avow it, or else the honesty and patri.
otism to retract and abandon the errors
which they have hitherto followed. Eav.
ing neither tho one nor the other, they
falsely turn upon those who have sought
to prevent the consummation Of the dis.
union schemes and accuse them with the
wrong Of which they themselves are
guilty. II is an admitted fact that if tho
Democratic party were now in power, the
country would not be engaged in q civil
war. The disunionistS are those who
have persiStcntly waged q 6rrcs war
against the institutions Of the South"

INTERESTING TO WHEAT GROWERS.
following is from Fridays 9Th inst.) New
York Courier and Enquirer: The Eng
fish crops do not promise to be very large
this year, and it is acknowledged that
under the most favorable circumstances.
something below an average crop is ali
that can be expected. An unfavorable
ripening or harvesting season may re-.
ducc the total to a very serious extent.
Tho crop in France is still lesS promising.
Under these circumstances. the prospects
before our Western farming States seem
bright indeed. England will have to con.
tinuc to purchase our wheat for three
months at least, and as We are importing
very little, she will have to pay US for
what she buys in gold.
