CIRCULA1AE THE PAPERS.
Weekly Register for Fifty Cents.

The WEEKLY REGISTER for July 10th
will contain the full Proceedings of tht
Democratic National Convention, which
meets in New York, July 4th, and the
WEEKLY REGISTER for July 18th, will
contain the Proceedings of the State and
Congressional Conventions to be held in
Grafton, July 10th. Commencing with
the number for July 10th, We will send
the WEEKLY REGISTER until after the
Presidential Election in November fol
SIXTY CENTS, or in Clubs of TWENTY
for FIFTY CENTS each.
The campaign about opening prom
ises to be the most exciting, as it will
surely be the most important to this
country that it has ever witnessed.
The principal issues are now fairly de-
fined and well understood. The con-
test is for the preservation of what is
left of the Government established by
WASHINGTON and his eompatriots,
against the insane fanatics and thieves
who have full possession Of the power
of the Federal and State Governments,
and who are using the places they &C.
cupy to strengthen themselves and
plnnder tho people. The battle
must be boldly fought by the Conserv-
ative masses who would save the Coun-
try and restore peace to distracted
people, overwhelmed by taxation, and
already deprived of many Of the rights
they once enjoyed. To conduct this
contest intelligently and successfully
all must understand the issues and the
arguments, and to obtain them, all
must read. Democratic papers must be
circulated everywhere. A Democratic
paper every week in the hands of every
voter in the Union, would insure a vic
tory in November, without parallel in
the annals of tho party. 1t is the duty
then, of all whe wish for the success of
the cause to circulate Democratic pa
pers. To facilitate this object the pub
fishers of the WHEELING REGISTER
now offer their large Weekly issue at
the bare cost of printing, to Clubs for
the Campaign.
The WEEKLY REGISTER is the largest
paper issaed in this State, and contains
double the reading matter of any other.
In addition to the political information,
it contains all the current news of the
day, telegraphic news from all parts of
the world, markets, agricultural infor-
nation of value, &c.
Onr political friends who are ahont to
assemble /" primary meetings through
out this State for the appointment OF
Delegates to the State Convention,
would do well to make, on these occa-
si0ns, special efforts for the circulation
of the REGISTER in their respective
neighborhoods LEWIS BAKER d Co.

WIN, the People are Taxed For

On the 1lth instant, the Senate passed
the bill to continue the Freedmel's
Bureau uutil July, 1869. 1t had passed
the House, and, whether vetoed or not,
will bee ONE law. By it the tax-pay-
ers will be called upon to pay about
twelve millions for the support of ne
groes, satraps, Yankee school marms
and lazy carpet -baggers. Is this the
kind of retrenchment and economy
talked of in the Grant Chicago Plat
forms
But this is not all. Estimates for the
support of our navy for the ensuing
year are set down at thirty-three mil
lions of dollars. To be sure this is
vastly less than for the support of q
standing army to keep white people in
the South under the negroes feet. But
S33, 900, 900 is pretty round sum for the
tax payers to fork over for little OF
nothing. Our navy is unemployed, and
good economy would suggest the rednc-
ton of its expenses. Nothing of the
sort is done or proposed. Again, we
ask, is this the kind of reform and
economy talked Of in the Grant Chica
go PLATFORM
How do the Taxpayers like it

NEW LONDON, Conn, July 3.-The
steamer City of Boston, from New
York, last night, was run into by the
steamer State of New York, of the
Hartford line, of the mouth of the Con.

it is feared, involving the loss of thee
lives. The City of Boston was struck
amidships, carrying away the wheel,
house and upper works in the vicinity
and demolishing five state-rooms.
dense fog prevailed. The City of BOs.

No political platform which Radical
ism has yet devised, no electioneering
document which the party may issue,
no promises that party may make, will
remove the impression now so general,
that if there were no other reason for
oyerturning the now dominant party,
public economy alone would demand
it. Radiealism costs the country too
much. What Radicalism demands in
the way of appropriations" would
swamp the most plethoric treasury the
country with all its resources could Gre
ate, and to these appropriations must
be added the stealings, defalcatisns,
and swindles of the most corrupt party
that ever put fingers on the peoples
money. The country, as rich as it is, is
TOO peor to stand another four years OF
hadicallsm. 1t costs too much.

SATURDAY, JULY 4th, 1865.

far as may be practicable and conve-
nient, the Delegates be chosed by Town
ship or County Cony entions, on
SATURDAY, JULY 4th, 1865.
1t is also recommended that
the Delegates from the First and Sec
ond Congressional Districts in attend
ance upon the State Convention nomi-
nate a Congressional candidate and a
Presidential elector for each Of their
respective Districts.
The possibility that, owing to their
remoteRess, some Of the counties Of the
Third Congressional District may not
be fully represented, has induced the
Committee to leave the selection of the
time and place fer making their Con-
gressional and Electoral nominations
entirely to the discretion of the Demo
cratic and Conservative voters Of that
District.
Fellow Democrats and Conservatives.
Your political brethren in all parts of
the country where elections have been
held within tho last twelve months,

The great reaction which is to redeem N
the nation from tyranny and nisrule

THE CROPS.
Report Of the Agricultural Depart
naent.

Report Of the Agricultural Deparf
| ment.
The following is SO much of the june
report of the Agricultural Department
as relates TO the incoming whoat crop
An increase of acreage is observed in a
greater or less degree in nearly every
State. The Eastern States show no in
crease of fall sowing, except four pei
cent. in Vermont, but the enlarged area
Of spring crops, which are the main
home reliance for bread supplies, isvery
marked in Maine and Vermont, the for
mer showing al advance of twenty-six
per cent, the latter of sixteen per cent.
A very slight movement in this direc.
ten is shown by New Hampshire and
Massachusetts,. New York indicates
five per cent. increase'in fall acreage,
with no change in spring wheat. New
Jersey shows an increase of three per
cent. of winter wheat. In Pennsylva-
mia the acreage is very slightly enlarged,
three per cent. for winter wheat. In
Delaware q reduction of seven per cent.
appears, while an increase of nine per
cent. is shown in Maryland; eleven in
Virginia; seventeen in North Carolina;
twenty ono in South Carolina; eleven in
Georgia; ten in Alabama; fifty-three in
Mississippi; thirty-one in Arkansas; for
ty in Tennessee; thirty in West Virginia.
In Texas decrease is shown of six per
cent, and in Kentucky of one per cent.
Spring wheat is not grown in the South
The increased average in the West,
where the great bnlk of the wheat crop
of the country is grown, is of peculiar
significance. Of the States in which
winter wheat 10 most largely cultivated,
Ohio presents an increase of five per
cent, and Michigan seventeen per cent.
In portions Of these States an unusual
effort has been made to enlarge the area
by spring sowing, showing respective
ly eleven, fourteen and six per cent. in
crease.
Iu the States which rely mainly upon
spring sown crops, Illinois indicates an
increase in that variety of twelve per
cent; Minnesota twenty. three per cent;
Iowa twelve per cent, an increase hav-
ing been made also in winter wheat in
the same States, with the exception of
Wisconsin and Iowa, though in MIN
nesOta the total product of fall sOwn

by it. The increase of winter wheat in
Illinois is placed at ten per cent; in
Missouri fifty per cent; in Kansas twen
ty-five per cent. An analysis of these
averages will show general average
of about eleven per cent. in
crease in fall sowing, and twenty
eight per cent. in breadth Of spring
wheat; altogether, an increase Of
eighteen to twenty per cent. in the az
gregate number of acres in wheat. Re-
ports of condition for June are general
ly very favorable, and the promise of
the best crop ever known is held out by
local correspondents. In many places,
particular west Of the Mississippi, some
complainto of falling is made, but the
extent of this damage, which has been
more severe during the latter part of
the month, is not determined. Many
of the most serious complaints Of win
ter killing in Kentucky and Tennessee
have been greatly modified of subse-
qucnt growth and tilling Of roots pre-
sumed to be dead.

He will receive, on the first ballot, be-

The Convention will organize tempo

Some of the Ohio delegates are strong
ly pressing a proposition to incorporate
in the platform q resolution to pay the
pensioners of the late war in gold or its
equivalent. The ground which they
take is that this class, as general
thing, have been greatly reduced in cir
cumstances by the result of the war,
and placed in . position where they are
dependent, to greater or less extent,
on the amount received as . pension.
Further, that the depreciation of the
currency is so great that the amount
which they receive furnishes but little
relief; therefore, they should receive
