The Wheat Crop.

ine danger OF failure in our wheat crop.
wnicb, under the dark sky and drenchiDe
rams OF last week, seemed imminent. and
which agitated tho grain market to an OK.
tont unparalleled since tho gloomy dsys of
1854. whom gold was up among the two
hundrods, eeoms to have passed, under the
genial sun and sun ny sky, like q ghost at
the break of day. The telegraph reports
from all quarters of the Great Weet' ,he
granary OF the world, show a universal ces.
sation of the rains and tho dawn of BRIGHT
skies again. Crops in Minnesota never
looked better than now. Probably as large
crop OF wheat as was ever raised In the
State will be produced this season. About
the same good report comes from Wsoon.
sin. While IL is admitted that the winter
wheat crop in Michigan, Indiana, Southern
Iowa and Central Illinois will prove not
much above half a crop, there is no doubt
but Northern Iowa, Wisconsin and Mime.
sofa will yio!d an abundant harvest. In
wisconsin, tho rain, instead of being thing
TO DO mourned over, has been blessing. on
account OF its having entirely drowned out
,ho chinch bug. which had appearedi in
large numbers. In this State the crop islby
no means full one. but the timely cessa-
ton OF tho ram will greatly help. and tho
damage will, we hope. prove much less than
has been anticipated. i ...l
In consequence of this great improve-
ment in the weather and the prospects, tho
panic in tho grain market, which had run
wheat aud -four up 25 per cent. 10 single
week, has spent its forco, and prices are
rapidly relapsing to their original position.
We predict that in three days they will be
lower than they have been during the last
year. Tho wheat crop of 1865 may be re-
garded as secure, and though not as heavy
as was anticipated fortnight ago. it will
prove full average crop.-Clere. Leader,

Gen. Cox's Letter.

If anything wore needed to increase our
regret that the Union Convention of Ohio
should omit oil mention of tho absorbing
question of Negro Suffrage. it would be
found In the attempt Of our candidate for
Governor to supply that unfortunate omis.
sion. Had the leaders but dared to embody
in the platform shose principles of action in
reference to that question, which they ad.
snitted to be just aud right in themselves -
in ether words, had they but dared to do
right, instead Of yielding to the dictatos Of
false expedienoy, which ever has and ever
will work injury to our causo.--the result
would have demonstrated their wisdom,
and relieved all self tituted committees
OF the duty of catecbisiug candidates, and
the candidates themselves of the more pain.
full and perlous duty of inditiug elaborate
answers. Wo deprecated the policy then; VIC
deprecate 1t still more now, as events arc
proving il alike needless and unavailipg--
Yet we are not of those who believe tha,
free discussion, even ut this stage of the
contest, will ensure division or defeat; any
such suggestion comes from he same timd
spirit that dictated tho platform. We have
TOO much faith in tho strength of our cause
to fear tho truth. We believe that the
Union Party is strong enough to be frank
and honest at all times; that its sole dan.
ger lies in concealment and distrust OF
great principles; and that. If it 10 to "learu
wisdom from tho enemy" at all, II will be
by Initiating bis earnestnoss and singleness
Of purpose, rather than tho unworthy arts
by which he seeks success. A party with.
out principle, like the 30 called Democratic,
must rely upon strategy alone; but party
OF principle, as ours Processes to be, should
have some 6rmer ground of reliance.
Whether Il DO wise or unwiss TO discuss
this question, We trust that, since it !,
fairly before tho people, no Onion man vii
contend that tho discussion should be mo
nopolized exclusively by the enemies of No
gro Suffrage. Gen. Cox evidently appre
bends no dangor, or ho would not so freel,
ezpress bis own peculiar views. Regarding
she question as an open one, not being in
cluded in the platform, no. by his letter
virtually invites "a free and friendly inter
change OF views" in relation to it, and it il
duo to him. as we'll as to tho question it
sell, that the Invitation be accepted. In al
frankness, therefore, as one who aided ,c
nominate and supports Gen. Cox, and who
appreciates his military services and Re.
publican antocedents. We must say that VIC
do not agree with him upon this question.
We regret that our worthy candidate for
Governor. in bis lengthy ie,tor. bas de.
vised no more just or practicable scheme
for tho solution OF the problem of recon
struction. We deplore the inevitable da.
dUction from bis reasoning. that he is on.

not the antagonism Of the races then show
itself in an aggravated formf
Aside from the manifest impracticabilty
OF this scheme, there are two fatal objections
to 1t: lst 1t is calculated to perpetuate and
embittor any autagonism that may now ex-
ist between the white and black races. I'd.
1t allows to the black race no voice in deter.
mining their political destiny. Assume that
an antagonism exists, and frame all laws
and institutions with reference thereto, and
one will most assuredly be speedily devol.
opod. Assign to the Negro his future posi-.
tion in government and society, as though
it were a matter for tho white man
alone to decide, and you cannot fail to do
him most cruel injustice. Nor will he re.
main quietly in that position. Ho will, 10
time, assert and maintain his right to be
an equal particpator in all the blessings and
franchises enjoyed by his follow country men
of lighter hue.
There are many other comments sug
gosted by Gen. Cox's letter, but, having al.
ready extended this article to an unusual
lopgth, VIC close by expressing the hope
that the discussion ho invites will serve 10
promote the cause of Universal Suffrage.
