An Inside View of RepubiIcanism !.
We publish this morning extracts from the
speech of Mr.. CONWAY, the Republican Repre-
sentative in Congress from Kansas, which is
doubtless a true reflection of the radical Repub-
lican sentiment upon the present aspect of our
national affairs. Mr.. CONWAY is in favor of an
immediate cessation of hostilities the recognition
of the independence of the Confederate States;
uniform impost duties; free trade between the
States, North aud South; the free navigation of
the Mississippi river, and the mutual adoption of
the MONROE doctrine. which proposes the union of
all the States of North America for mutual pro-
lection against the aggressions OF foreign powers.
The Republican Representative from Kansas
favors these propositions for the reason that the
attempt to subjugate the Confederate States by
force OF arms is thus far failure and there is no
reasonable probability that the Union can be re-
stored by war He is for disunion because he
thinks a division will be more advantageous to
both sections of the country, and to that COM
plexion he thinks it must come.
If any Democrat had made speech similar in
sentiment to Mr.. CoSwAY's S, it would have been
pronounced reasonable and the author deserving
a traitors doom; but coming from a true blue
Republican, and we may say an Abotionist it
will not only be tolerated but will be endorsed as
a sensible and practicable solution of our national
difficulties We publish what Mr.. CONWAY
says as an inside view of radical Republican

The wheat ana Tocacco crops of uses

n
We conversed yesterday with gentleman en-
gagged in the manufacture of farming implements,
and who mas during the present winter visited ev-
cry county in Indiana. and result of his in
quiries and observations be informs us that the
wheat crop never more promising at this sea
sou of the year than at the present He also in
forms us that the area Of land sown throughout
the State will average in acres with previous sea
sons. Our informant is well posted in matters
of agriculture, and he estimates the wheat crop
of 1863. if the season proves favorable, at not
less than 20 900. 900 bushels. The crop of 1860
exceeded % 600 900 bushels.
From the same gentleman We learn that an un-
usual excitement prevails among the farmers of
Indiana, especially in the southern counties. on
the subject Of tobacco culture, and that an i'm
mense crop of this great staple will be planted in
southern Indiana the coming spring We are
satisfied that no crop can be grown the coming
season which will pay better than tobacco, and
the soil and climate OF Southern Indiana are most
admirably adapted 10 the production Of this inn
l,ortant staple The closing of the Southern
ports and the consequent suspension OF CONNER
cial relations between the South and the great
tobacco countries OF the word. will create a de-
maud, at very high prices, for all the tobacco
grown in the Northwest.-[N. A. Ledger.

Many suppose that the effect OF the proclama-

speedily and completely annihiate and extirpate
slavery, that the shareholders will have no longer
a motive TO act together This is an eSregious
mistake. The proclamation will have no such.
effect. Its constitutionaty is denied 1t is still

rHE ARMY CONSERVATIVE.

Nevertheless, without reference TO the result of
the war, consider the chances of the conserva
tves in the election far superior to that of the
Administration Great reliance is placed by the
later on the vote of the soldier; but. in my
opinion, this is delusive The soldiers will be af
fected 10 like manner with the rest of the people,
and, moreover, will be tired of military service
and anxious to return home. They will be dis
satisfied from a thousand causes and desire a
change The suffering and indignation yet TO be
engendered by the unlimited issue of an IRE
deemable paper currency, will of itself over
whem the Administration party, and sink il
deeper than plummet ever sounded. But the
Democrats, in my judgment, safely calculate
that they can take Issue on any one of hundred
necessary incidents of the war, and defeat their
opponents 10y large majority.
