According to Gonzales Inquirer of the 2 1th

complained of in Texas, are taking their de
parture from thr.t region, the air being Tilled
witti the vast hosts, ull riving northeast. It
would tako about two weeks to get lid of all :

full grown. Great numbers were dying ulso

tngnged in devastating fields cf corn, coltrn, !
and wheat, which had previously escaped. So i
complete and general has been the destruction j
thut all the farmers will bo compelled to re-j

afflicted are Fe.xar Guadeloupe. Cald well, I
Hays, Comal, Karnes, Golia.l, Nneces, I'e ;

tl eir crops aro doing remarkably well. On
the Lucas !u Atascosa county.several farmers
saved their crops by arming all their people

grasshoppers did not attock the growing corn

THE BALE or 1 HE CABALS.
The Luzerne county papers appear exceed
ingly wrulhy on account of tho sale of the
State canals to tho Sunbury & Erio railroud,
as they contend, at a great sacrifice, Sup.
poso this to be all true. Is not tho north
western portion of tho Statc from Lock
Haven to Erie, entitled, to as much of a gift
or aid from the State as the people of the
Wyoming region, who hnve received 'from
tho coffers of thn commonwealth otct fonr
and a hiilf millions of dollars in getting up
that hopeful ttructure called tho North
liranch extension, from TunUhannock to tho
State line, 93 miles? Now if tho snmo amount
of tnorey had been appropriated by tho
commonwealth to the Sunuury & Erio road,
it would have been completed years ago, and
the advantages that would have accrued to
the wholo Slato would have been ten fold
grealcr than cut) ever be derived from the
uioft successful operations of the North
Brunch extension.
And why were they not as much entitled
to aid from thn State ns other pottions of the
commonwealth ? Their isolated position, and
their inability to construct a thoronghfure to
market, by privato enterprise, gavo them, if
anything a stronger claim than even our
North French friends, to draw upon the
public tTfntury. If this sale was for the
benefit of individuals or foreign corporutiotls,
there might be some force in their arguments.
Fut as tho State is simply appropriating or
loaning a portion of her means, or rather her
unproductive property, to improvo another
portion of her domains, who has any right to
Complain ?

As an evidence, if any were necessary, to
Show tho superiority of steam overhand pow

Steam Ferry bout, on Saturday, at tho land-
o n the Western side, when a fiat with a I
bnggy set out for tho Sstibury shore. The

steamboat put out oa her return trip to Mar
ket street wharf, where sho landed scVeral
passengers nnd totk on several others and
then returned to tho lan ding on tho Snyder
county side, before the flat and buggy r ached
tho Sunbtiry shore. The distance from tho
Market street landing to tho Ferry landiug
opposito is about one mile. Dr. llottenslein
claims the Ferry landing on tho Stiydercouu
ty side. Mr. Clement, the proprietor of the
Steamboat contends that the lunding on the
tow path belongB to tho commonwealth, nnd
that ho has a right, under the charter of the
Steam Ferry Company, to use it. Ilo has
no disposition to deprive the Doctor of any of character of States ; 1 oppose it bucause. in

As tho government, which had a large
surplus of over twenty millions of do'lurs iu
tho Treasury a year or two since, is now
almost bankrupt, toe Cubiuet is now begin
tiing to look about to replenish the same, uud
a revised tariff with specific duties is uu
event thut tr.ay bo looked for. Forney's
i'rcsi says :
"Mr. Fuchanan has always occupied a
middle, conservative ground on the subject of
the Tariff. Ho vuted for the Tariff of 1842,
though greatly opposed lo some of its pro
visions. Ho was u member of the Cabinet of
Frcsident Folk when tho Tunff of IS 10 be
camo a law, and made no secret of his oppo
sition lo the unvaried ttd vulnrem feature of
that measure. A long nnd intimate know
ledge of his views on this question, uud a
general acquiescence in thi-m indued, llie
steady support which we tlwuys extended lo
Ihesu views, even while accepting the Tariff
of lf-l'j as u party measure Mtubles us to
speak somcvvhal distinctly ut this time. We
cu-inot doubt thut ho entertains ilium now
for they have ulwuya been unhesitatingly
avowed, up to llie latest moment."
Tho Fhiladelphia Daily Xrrs referring to
the ubove, thinks the freo traders aro begin

after they have smelt sufficiently they will
seo tho necessity of promptly using some
disiufectiug and other ugectu to remove the
cause of the unsavory odor.

is the following, which uppeared in the Mil

ter refers to tho question of protecting ouj

up iu Congress. On this question Colonel
Cameron, wo know, has always been sound.

The action of the 'Congress of the United
States on Friday week, decided fte following
propositions and contradictions, Inasmuch
as this action is not Settlement, but a wicked
rc-oponing of that which honest legislation
would have forever tranquilized, it is desira
ble thut tho reader will prcsorve and remem
ber thoso facts :
I. That nlthough the people of Kansas
have repeatedly rejected the Lecompton Con
stitution, with all its protection to slavery,
they must take that Coostitution now, or
wail till they have a population of 93,000 or
120,00(1.
II. That the people can have no vote.npon
this Leeoinnton Constitution under the En-
glisu4iill, bs lately, most .positively, and dis
tinctly shown by Senators Douglas and Green
in tho Senate, and by Mr. Stephens iu tho
House.
III. Hut in order to bribe them to tuko it,
some four millions of acres of land are offered
to them, which if they accept, theyo into
tho Union with Lecompton, and which if they
reject, they remain out an indefinite period
of time.
I V. If they take Lecompton with the land
bribe which is a slave Constitution, simply
und -wholly, they enter the Unioo with 30,000
of a population : if they refuso it, they will
re in u in in territorial condition under pro
tlsvery management, for yeas to come.
V. That the commission appointed to hold
the election in Kunsas, when the land ordi-
j nance (not the Constitution) is submitted,
I has been constituted by the English bill) to
: consist a majority t f pro-slavery men, who
will ol course count only to suit themselves ;
the House bill made tho commission stuud
two and two.
VI. Thut the clause so highly favored by
tho Lecomptonites, that the people of Kan
sas should alter the Constitution ut any time
outside of its forms, had been carefully exclu
ded by the English legerdemain.
VII. That all the Southern men say there
is no submission of the Constitution to the
people of Kansas, while their partisans from
tuo Northsay tbe're
We oppose this last fraud, to use the lan
guage c! Senator Stuart, of Michigan, on Fri
day, for the following, among other reasons :
"1 oppose it on the same ground thut 1
would oppose an accumulation of property in
a dishonorable way ; I oppose it as 1 would
oppose the reception of stolen property know
ing it to be stolen ; I oppose it because it is
unbecoming the magnanimity oud generosity
of u great people, and a Congress represent
ing a great people ; because while in effect
the peoplo may destroy this Constitution,
thoso who repot t it here to day in thuir pla
ces have said that .the Constitution is not
submitted ; I oppose it, sir, upon highor prin
ciples than any possible personal conserpi ti
ces ; I oppose it because it seeks to lay down
in the admission of States into this Union one
set of propositions of one character of States,

i tno organic law or Kaueas, and the true pnn

Noun would despise aud condemn, and ilenue
and trample under foot such a proposition as
this. Sir, 1 will never agree to any such un
just, despicable discrimination as 16 continued
iu this bill.
"Sir, wo aro called upon to soy to the peo
ple or Kansas, "if you will take this obnox
ious Constitution you may come in now, at
once, by the proclamation of tho Fresident
a Constitution wuicn we kuow is obnoxious
to every impulse of your nature ; but if you
insist upon framing a Constitution that is

you shull not come in until you have doubled

borne down by oppression or under duress,
that I was compelled to falsify ull my opin
ions of constitutional authority, and lake tbe
nuked Senate bill or tuke this'thing, infinite
ly would I prefer the original Senate bill, be
cause that does stand, and can stand upon
technical legal authority, if you choose to use
thut iu opposition to the known will of tbe
people. This can stand on nothing either
human or divino. If you wcro to set it up,
und uppiy the commandment to it, you could
not make it out heresy to worship it, for it is
not lika unythitig in the heavens ubove or iu

people of KansaB, an obnoxious organic law."
