for President IN 1850. This is stab under
HENDRICKS fifth rib. 1t is quite probable
that HENDRICKS, who was never dsloyal
In the Senate, while VOORHEES, was bla-
tant in his sympathy for the rebels, has
seen his day in the front rank of the De-
mocmcy. The real Bourbon spirit is COM
ing to the front in that organization now,
and none but outspokeu sympathizers with
the Southern Confederate ring are to be al
lowed to act as leaders. In due time THUR
MAN will no doubt repeat his secession ad-
dress to the literary societies of the Uni

which he instructed his hearers, most of
them his fellow -virginians, that tho doc
trine Of State Rights remains to-day, rs IL

governmental system. The fact that he en-
tcrtains this political belief and the further
fact that he has turned a double. back ac-

TO REDUCE SOUTHERN POLITICAL
POWER

The suggestion made in these columns not
long ago that the negroes of the South shall
Go West" to escape the persecution of their
present homes has aroused the ire of the
entire Democratic press in that section
against THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,. The
average Southern journalist never has had
burning and consuming warmth of affection
for us politically and this suggestion seems to
have icicled his heart toward us, as IL were, so
that he accuses us of "bawling" and other
undignfed and, perhaps, untruthfnl things.
But we would really like TO bawl, and bawl
loud enough to have every Southerner hear
us, when We say tn 1t the Liberian emgra-
tematic depletion Of the South. 1t is based
upon the same impulses and prompted by
the same motives that led our ancestors TO
leave the Old World and seek freedom from
persecution in the New. The persecution
from which the colored people of the South
are fleeing is ten-fold greater than that they
suffered. But there is another object to be
gained by the emigration of the blacks to
the West, and that is the reduction OF the
representative strength of the South in
Congress and the Electoral College. They
are now counted rs full citizens in the ratio
Of that representation, while it is notorious
that they have no voice in selecting their
representatives. They should not only be
counted but heard and this cannot be done
in the South. Tho result is that their
friends-what few there are left Of thcm-in
the North, who freed them and gave them
the right to vote are suffering from per-
vertcd result of their own benevolent and
philanthropic acts Instead of the blacks
being now an aid and support to the Re-
publican party, they are practically its most
effective enemy, for their dislranchisemcnt
at the polls and eniranchiscmcnt in the ap-
portionments for Congress increases the
representative strength of the Democracy in
the House. There Is more of significance in
this go West suggestion than our South
ern contemporaries seem to grasp at first
glance. 1t means not only to take their
labOrcrs away from them, but also to deprive
them OF portion Of their political strength
unless they mend their ways and make
free citizenship all that the constitutional
amendments imply.

THE CEREAL CROP.

Among the resources of this expansive
country the fruits Of the earth form very
important factor. The interests of agricul-
ture are yearly augmenting under the
earth's ,illage, and the broad acres brought
under cultivation are multiplying in rapid
ratio. With soil of unequalled native fer
tility-with appliances Of every character
to facilitate culture-with n great variety
of climate and rapidly increasing agricul-
tural population, the United States are
moving steadily forward to an agricultural
supremacy that has never yet been attained
by any country on the habitablc globe. In
this consists the elements of our increasing
and future stable prosperity, and an
other century will find this country either
n political ruin or among the most
prosperous and wealthy of the civilized
world. TO very great extent the future
of the nation is in the hands Of the tillers
of the soil As they devote themselves to
their legitimate pursuits and aid in the de-
vclopmcnt OF the earth's resources; as they
educate their children, and study the char
actcr and needs of the institutions of their
Government rs they assert their rights as
citizens, they will become the sheet anchor
of the country and the cOnseryels OF nation
al prosperity and perpetuity.
But it is our present purpose to briefly re-
view the state of the crops and the extent
of the harvest of the present year. The fer
tile West Is teeming with abundant crops Of
cereals. Our information encourages the
belief that much larger yield Of the great
staple products Of the earth will mark the
present over tine last year. There are ex
ccptonal sections, where storms, insects
worms, and other enemies Of cereal crOp'
have worked harm, but the prospect is pro
pitious of superintendent harvest. While
these magnificent crops may tend to lowe
the prices realized by the producers, they
nevertheless guarantee " large income tG
reward their efforts and labor. This pos
pect guarantees an abundance and chcal
food to aid the manufacturing ant

Of iobbery over the public interest. So long
rs Mr.. FINLEY has lent himself to one OF
the vilest schemes Of plumber yet set on foot
at the seat Of government, and hns occupied
one entire session in an effort to accomplish
selfish and corrupt purposes instead of pro
noting the public good, 1t is to be hoped
that the people Of his district Will relcgate
him to private life and send some one in his
place whose estimate of public service is
elevated little above the plane where pub
lie plumber is regarded as the chief end OF
man. We have no purpose to do Mr. FIN
LEY injustice. We have watched his course
during the late session with especial care,
hoping to discover in him the elements of a

handicapped by combination of unprin-
