Mr.. Prices Speech.

The speech of Hon. HIRAM PRICE, de-
Nvered before the Convention, last Sat
urday, was characterized by the usual
clear and forcible reasoning of that gen
tleinan. It was a speech easily under
stood by those who can understand the
simplest logical deductions, and com
prehend the plainest political truths
He showed that the johnson party are
In favor of having the rebels dictate the
terms OF reconstruction, and in favor of
yielding to their demands; while Com
gress and the Republican party are ia
favor Of having the loyal victors arrange
the terms. He proved that Johnson's
policy favored such reconstruction as
would place the reins of government in
the hands of the rebels and their sympa-
thizers. To establish this point, he re-
ferred to the facts that johnson had
pardoned thousands of the meanest reb-
els-that he appoints them and their
sympathizers to ot1ice-that he refuses
to appoint Union soldiers to office i'm the
South-that he insists on such recon-
struction of the rebel States as will re-
store to the meanest rebels all their for
mer political rights, and place at their
mercy the Union men of the South
that he insists that the Union shall he
restored in such way as will give to
the rebels more political power than
they possessed before the rebelion-that
he insists that the negroes shall not vote,
but that they shall be counted in deter
mining the number of Representatives
to which the rebel States are entitled
and that he insists on the Immediate
admission of the rebels whom the rebel
States have elected to represent them in
Congress. He also showed that while
Johnson was pardoning rebels who had
committed murder under circumstances
OF the most revolving cruelty, he refused
10 pardon Union soldiers who were inn
Prlsoned for foraging. We are sorry the
johnson men did not turn out to hear
the speech, but we learn that Mr.. Price
ana Mr.. COOK have made arrangements
TO hold joint discussions. We NAV ex
pect then that both sides will turn ont
to hear them when they come to linton

- The Chicago Tribune says of the corn
crops" A private telegram received on Sat.
urday morning from Peru, NJ, stated that the
frost had exercised a very beneficial effect on
Inc crop on the Illinois river bottom as il
checked the growth of foliage and stalk, and
hasteDed the ripening of the ear. In our opin =
ion the crop has not received any material
damage. The ear was well protected by a lux.
urious Growth of leaves. which the frost has
not yet been severe enough to penetrate We
still believe, and the feeling generally per.
vading the minds OF corn operators gives ad-
dit'onal force that the crop will be one of the

cuced, provided 1t shall be favored with dry.
