The folIowings from the Chicago TTi-
6Une, is to the point:
In The southern part Of indiana, Ohio
and Illinois, where the corn crop was re
garded as a failure. the crop has turned
out much better than was expected. The
yield per acre was not heavy, but as
there was u greater breadth sown, the
number of bushels will aggregate as
much as in former years. The crop in
Central Illinois and throughout Iowa
turned out much better than the most
sanguine ever anticipated, and take the
the country throughout, it is safe to say
that there will be as many bushels TO be
marketed as in any previous year. The
new corn being marketed is Of superior
quality. The grain is large and we'll
filled. andTf il were only q little drier,
would readily inspect No. l. Already
il is having aneefect on the market for
corn. The new crop rules steady and

THE canvass.

We had the pleasure Of listening, on
Friday, to the speech of the Conserva-
tive candidate for Governor, delivered
to a large, orderly and attentive audi
ence on the public Square.
Mr.. ETHERIDGE is quite able to main
tain himself, and the great cause of con-
stitutional liberty, of which he is the
advocate, against all corners. The best
criticism of a speech, as of a book, is
that which is just, and not extravaRant
either in praise or censure : and 1t is just
and not extravagant to say that our can
didate, having the country for his client,
does the great case justice. He is fluent
and a graceful speaker, eloquent when
eloqusnee is appropriate, logical, cohe-
rent, sarcastic and humorous when the
topic requires it, and that he performs
the righteous task of flaying ~Jacobinism
alive with skill and efficiency. His
speech had fine passages that are worthy
to be preserved, of well chosen words
and forcible thoughts. That his speech
and reply were somewhat too long, may
be excused on account of the super
abundance of material and the magni-
tude OF the questions discussed.
We also had the pleasure Of listening
to the speech Of MI. STOKES, who rashly
adventured a reply and an attack, and
was demolished. Pleasure, we say
since it is grateful to one whs detests a
bad and miserable cause, to hear it miser-
ably defended. The author Of the Dun
CAN letter must have felt, when ETHER
IDGE responded, the full force of the
maxim, that he who excuses, accuses,
himself. OF BRowNLow there was but
a feeble defence attempted, but rather
confession without avoidance. The jus
LITIGATION pleaded Of the legislature Of
Tennessee DISTINGUISHING two-thirds Of
the audience, was lsmentable and pitis-
bic and as to the Speaker himself, if
he is to be compelled, whenever he o II
fronts ETHERIDGE On the stand, to give
the same explanation Of the DUNCAN
letter, that he gave yesterday, he must
envy those who are only 10 purgatoTy.
We hope that ETHERIDGE wilnot fall
ter or grow weary in well doing. II we
are defeated in this contest, so be it! In
the mean time the seeds of the truth will
be sown broadcast, and they viii tSke
root, and by and by the fruit and COLDER
grain will come in its due season. Lett it
at least be said ofS that we deserUed
to win, if We do not.
We cannot refrain, in conclusion, from
the expression Of u qualification at the
perfect order and good humour which
prevailed among the very mixed sud-
ence. It would be a sad calamity If 8
riot should occur in Memphis, whoever
might be to blame. We know who
JUolad be blamed, however innocent.
