The Radicals Ask Help.

The Richmond Wing thus notices a late ar
ticle Of the Chicago Tribune which undertakes
20 persuade the South 70 accept the miscalled
Constitutional amendment. The Wing says
truly:
"The Tribune, finding that the Southern
people cannot be wheedled and cajoled into
supporting a measure intended for their injury
anddsgradation, threaten them with worse mea-
sures so as to fighten them into its acceptance,
pretending the while that it does not wish them
70 accept it. This trick is sometimes very eff
cacious with children, but we hardly think it
will succeed in this instance. The hctis, that
the Southern people have pretty well made up
their minds TO heed neither the advice nor the
uenaces Of the Radicals, and not in any man
ner to assist them in carrying out their policy,
but to be entirely passive. The Radicals Ell
Their have or have not the power to carry out
that policy, If they have, no tenderness for
the South will restrain them. They will do
their worst, and we have made up our minds
10 let them do their worst and 70 endure it as
well as we can. If they cannot accomplish
their objects without our assistance, they are
reckoning without their host when they expect
Us TO aid them. As Daniel Webster would say,
" We are not quite green enough for that
They may spare both their entreaties and their
menaees. If the South has formed any resolu-
ton stronger than all others, it is the resolu-
ton not to assist the Radicals to put collars a.
round .hsir nscks and chains upon their limbs, :"

Harvest.

Our farmers are now in the midst Of their wheat
harvest The wheat is Of good quality, and the
yield much better than anticipated early in the
son. The weather has been cool and pleasant for
those employed in harvesting. With the increase
in price of wheat, it is hoped the farmer will be re-
munerated for the deficiency in quantity.
The corn crop is promising, and with genial
rains, in instruments between this and lst August,
an unprecedented yield may be calculated upon.
