In short, Mr.. WHITTEMoRB wants to 60 to Con-
gress, and from what we have recently seen by
his tour to Bennettsville, he clearly prefers the
African route. He is conscious of being of the
wrong color; but if there is any cure for leuco-
phobia, Mr.. W. is determined to find and
apply it.
He eschews all intercourse with "plain
people, associates, eats and sleeps exclusively
with the newly enfranchised-at least he does
so when on his travels-leaying nothing un-
tried in order that he may overcome this unac-
countable prejudice of his friends againstme
of white complexion.
Poetic justice requires that such assiduous
devotion should not 60 unrewarded but, alas !
that we should be compelled to say it, the sky
looks dark. Mr.. W. will not find the canvass
as smooth sailing as he had q right to antici-
pate. The primeval curse will often suggest
itself to him, apropos of his newborn oppo-
sition, ssIn the sweat of thy brow" etc. There

Aaron Sweat is the name of this colored Moses,
who is to take his people unto the promised
land. And by way of fully acting out the an
alogy, it is understood that he tells his igno-
rant and credulous hearers that they are the
people of God, and we the Canaanites, who
must be dispossessed from the land and exter-
minated. This is formidable opponent, cal
culated to throw a damper on the ardor of the
too sanguine WHITTEMoRE.
would not wish to be misunderstood. Mr..
w. has right to run for any Office he likes,
and to choose his associates, wheresoever, and
from among whom he pleases, and what have
said above, Mr.. EDITOR, is merely for the in
formation of your readers, who l think should
be put in possession of every movement of a
political, or even quasi-political character.

IGNORANT people, are always prejudiced
against what they do moi understand, and not
unfrequently conceive superstitious aptipathy
to things very innocent in themselves. We oil
know the difficulties of the census takers.
SAM. LOVER tells good story in his "1rish
Legends" illustrating this point: He took
sketch of pretty group of dogs at On Irish
country inn. While doing it, noticed the peo-
pie of the house looking mysteriously at each
other, and then at him but he paid no atten-
t;cn to it. In the evening, when he returned
from his days jaunt to this same village and
inn, he saw q number of dead dogs hanging
from trees What could it mean? He inquir-
ed, and, after considerable trouble, ascertain
ed that he had been the innocent cause Of this
murder of canine innocents. The people who
saw him take his note book and 'take down"
the dogs in it, instinctively came to the con-
clusion that he belonged to the "Internal
Revenue Bureau" and was going to report
them for tax. This spread in the village,
and so all dogs that were not "down" already
went "up. Inc LOnuOn WeS uotieeS tho az.
surd and unreasonable prejudice of farmers
against statistics Of stock, crops, &c. England
has to thank the cattle plague for getting rid of
some of this prejudice. Farmers saw that if
cattle were dying at frightful rate, and if
Government had to see to compensation and
face the gap in the supplies, it had right to
ask for figures. So they returned their cattle,
and by this time they are sensible Of the fact
that no harm has come to them in consequence.
The real confusion in their minds has always
been that they could not distinguish between
general and local information, and imagined
somebody wanted to pry into their private
affairs, and to turn the knowledge against
them. They did not see that all the returns
would pass through one Office, and come out
in comprehensive results, that would do nobody
any harm, and might do everybody some good.
Indeed, there is no one who is so much in
terested in knowing the prospects of the har-
vest as the farmer himself Of course he
wants to know whether to sell or not, and
what crops to try his luck with next year.

AID withdrew his amendment which specified GER

That as there was large share OF Judiciary power
left in the hands OF the District Commanders, it
would perhaps be as well to leave them to deter

The 4th section was amended by adding that any
person appointed by the District Commander may
be removed by him.
Mr.. DRAKs introduced an amendment demand
ing some additional guarantees preliminary to the
admission Of representatives, but it was ruled out

The CRoPs.-The accounts that reach us
from all parts of the District in relation to the
crops, since the recent rains, are very discour-
aging. In some sections of the District the
prospect is represented to be less favorable
than at this time last year. The corn crops are
said to have sustained great damage by the re-
cent prolonged season of wet weather, and 1t
is estimated that this crop will fall at least one
third short. In the neighborhood of Black
Mingo it rained fourteen days consecutively,
and the water reached higher mark in Mingo
Gre, than has ever been known before by the
"oldest inhabitants" In this section particu-
larly the crops are greatly injured.
