Gov. Morton's Speech.

On Thursday last Gov. Morton, with
his personal staff. and accompanied by
the officers Of State, and the officers of
the Sanitary Commission, visited Rich
mond, for the purpose of presenting
banner to the county. for the largest do
nation 70 the Sanitary funds II was an
event looked to with a good deal of in
terest. because it was understood that
the Governor would deliver prepared
speech on the occasion. The address is
now before MS. and is characterized by
the force. directness and yigor which
mark all of Gov Morton's productions.
Eleven wears ago, during the memorable
canvass o: 1854, we first heard O. z.
Morton, and was then SO impressed with
the ealm and dignified power of his al
dress, that we have ever, since then.
avowed ourselves his admirer.
We lay this addyess before our read
ers. To the exclusion Of our usual miscel-
ianeous matter. not only because it Is
deeply interesting in itself, but also to
expose the meudaeitv of the Democratic
papers, which are teeming with reports
of radical attacks on the President -
There are no such attacks Some fear
he Is too lenieut toward traitors. and eN
press fears they viii prove vipers, and
sting the bosom that warns them, But
the Republican patty well know that the
President will be true to those who elect
ed him. and utterly despises the mean
sycophants who abused him with every
contempt in the days of adversely, and
now bow and scrape in his pathway be
cause he has power and patronage
Gov. Morton is Republican, is the
recognized head of the party in this
State, has been bitterly denounced as a
radical, has been spoken of as a candi-
date for the Presidency, and therefore
has some claim TO be regarded as an ex-
ponent of the views and purposes of the
party. In vain will the reader look for
those Recommendations" of which the cop
perheads speak. Instead he will find a
hearty and generous support given to
the President, and a substantial proof Of
fered that Johnson is but carrying out
the line of policy laid down by Mr.. Lin
coin All who revere the memory of
that eat MARTYR in the eause of human
freedom. will he glad to see this thorough
vindication of President Johnson's con-
sistency, and will be Quilted OF the fears
raised by the lavish praise bestowed on
him by his and their oppOnents.---Nesc

The Corn Crop 4 for 1864.

las Among all the farm crops of New England
there are none which are more pleasant 10 ths
sight, and few We believe, that are more prof
liable to the cultivator. Much is said OF corn
crops in the West, OF the great yield per acre
the vast breadth of acres planted, and the
! profit that may be derived from extensive cuk
tivation of it in that region. We have moi
been convinced however, By any statement
we have seen, than more money can be made
In the Vest, in raising this crop, than can be
realized In Massachusetts, or either OF the New
England States. The average per acre oil
these States, in 1854, is very nearly thirty
one bushels. while the average per acre OF the
States OF Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois
Missouri and Wisconsin was about two bush
els less, or twenty mine bushels per acre. We
grant that, on most Western lands, corn may
be raised at cheaper rate than on many Of
our lands, but not cheaper than it can be on a
considerable extent of our best corn lands, -
namely, the aliuvial, or intervale lands along
our rivers, and plain lands, either OF which
may be well plowed with pair OF horses. az
Ia addition to the value OF the grain, the
fodder on an acre producing forty bushels OF
shelled corn Is worth as much as a ton of our
best English hay. The fact is now beginning
to be appreciated. But In order to possess
!. this value, the fodder must be perfectly har-
vested and housed. In the Report Of the Ag-
rtculburai department. for Sept and Oct, 1914,
we find an interesting statement of the aCora
crop Of the United States," for three years
which is as follows assI ssss 4z t,1 7
