We are in receipt of Plat & Newton s
San Francisco Market Review of April 22d
from which we extract the following:
"Our receipts of wheat are considerable
for the season, meeting prompt sale on
arrival, at full rates. Within the last few
days 3 lot of good Napa wheat has been
offered for sale, which the owner refused to
sell, more than year ago, at 81 80, the
best offer now made, 81 so per GENITAL

THE FUTURE OF THE REPUBLICAN
PARTY

A document el,ting to the future politi-
cal purposes of the republican party, has
been drawn up by prominent eastern SEN
ator, and has been signed by every repubii-
can in the Senate, to-day. 1t was circulated
among the republican members ofthe House
and signed so far as it was presented. The
object is to convene a grand caucus OF all
the republicans in congress, there being
over two huHdred members, for the purpose
of devising ways and means, and setting
forth the issues which the party will present
to the country in the coming tall election,
for members Of the House of the Forty SEQ
ond Congress. 1t is intended to constitute
grand campaign committee, to furnish
documents, &C., and especially to look after
the condition of the radical party in the
southern states where the contest is repre-
scented IS likely to be close, with a fair pros
pect of conservative results. This caucus
will be held probably next week, and it will
be more important than an ordinary caucus,
from the fact that it will make declaration
of principles.

alton from the Federal Treasury for the
benefit of Internal Improvements in their
several States. Let their e1celleneies go
home and read their respective State consti-
tutions and find therein the most stringent
provisions against the taking of public mon

let them ask if it be fair to be begging from
all the States moneys TO be employed tc
such uses in Wisconsin and Minnesota as the
constitutions of those States do not approve
