The Crops.
It is gratifying to us to read the accounts
from all sections of the growing crops.—
All our exchanges speak in cheering tones
of the growth of all kinds of grain. In
this county, as far as we can ascertain, the
grain is growing finely.

the fault is not with us, as their papers are

them any further. We have now on foot
a project for ferreting out the cause of the
irregularity of the Journal, and hope in n

Whigs, Bew a re of Fusion•
We positively believe that it is the in- I
tention of the Locofoco party of this coun
ty, to endeavor to persuade the Whig por
tion of the commnnity, which does not en
tirely endorse the American platform of
principles, to enter into a coalition, for the
purpose, as the locofoco leaders say, of de
feating the Know-Nothings. Their real
object is to introduce locofnco office-holders
into our midst, and overthrowing the pow
er of the IVhig party, make 'old mother
Huntingdon," which has always been one
of the first and foremost in the Whig ranks,
a "turn coat." Let the Whigs of the coun
ty look to this, end stand a firm and united
band, as they did in days that are past,
when, shoulder to shoulder they charged
and conquered their former bitter and vin
dictive antagonists.
We most earnestly caution our Whig
friends to beware of this abortion; this dis
loyal and treasonable "fusion." It is only
a locofoco scheme, to use unsuspecting
Whigs for the purpose of building up the
corrupt principles and establishing the po
o'er of toryism. When we consider what
the leaders of Locofocoism are,—a gang
of unprincipled hacks, we can imagine
how much honesty they possess, and how
far they should be trusted. Away with

EITROPEAN INSOLENCE.
As we promised last week, we again
turn our attention to the request, or rather
the order of England to the United States,
for the sympathy of our people. Ve are
a free, independent, and we hope not un
grateful Teeple. We think as we please,
go wherrwe please, and generally, do as
we please. We may be led, but cannot
be driven, and the British people have had
an exemplification of this truth, on several
occasions, which our rough Yankee polite
ness forbids us mentioning. We rejoice
that the feelings of our noble countrymen
are for the right, in the struggle which is
now shaking, the very centre of Europ).'
It is and should be to every native or our
country, a proud satisfactiohto ' know that
the proud, the haughty, Ore insolent, the
mighty English nation craves the sympa
thy of the youthrel and once despised Jon
athan, a sympathy not to be obtained.
'Die United States has been too long be
gulled into a co-operation with England,'
by the stereotyped phrases of "common
brotherhood," "own flesh and blood," and
"friends in civilization," &c., &c. As
Goethe inforMs us such phrases tend "to
ossify the organs of intelligence." But
however truly the English nation may at
one time have boasted of the similarity of
her institutions and people with those of
America, she cannot now say the same.
England is no friend to civilization, or lib
eral gevernments, consequently at heart is
opposed to the very fundamental princi
ples of our government, and the doctrines
which have made us what we are. If we
but glance at the - countries conquered by
England we will see that they amin a con
dition infinitely worse than when in I,os
session of the ign , rant and uncivilized bar
barians. The policy of England has ever
been to keep its subjects in ignorance.
In all we agree entirely with a cetempo
rary in declaring that her past history pre
nests little to warrant us in regarding her
as the leader of civilization, and her pre
sent history presents nothing. Her great
ally is France, which has expended lion
' deeds of thow_and4 of lives and hundreds
of millions of money in exterminating the
people of Algeria, destroying their farms
and burning their villagesthat same old
France that introduced the fashion of stno
king out and Snfrocat4vg brave men who
were not to be reached by the sword ; her
chief object of adoration at present is Lou
is Islapolean, the friend of despots in Italy,
and the head in France of a despotism un
der which no freedom in the expression of
opinion is tolerated. Gladly would she
add to the list of Ater allies that same Aus
tria whose "sympathy for Hungary" was
manifested in the hanging 'of her bravest
men and scourging of her most accomplish•
ed women—to secure the co-operation of
Austria and Prussin,Eng,lanrivould with
out a murmur abandon Hungary to the
tender mercies of a Elaynau, Rome to the
Pope and Louis Napoleon, and fight Rus
sia, because she dared aspire to an equal
greatness. Is view of all this, the suds
city and insolence of that contemptible na
tion in asking our sympathies, and declar
ing our of for Russia to be "an un
natural and unholy partiality," is without
a precedent. We can assure Mr. John
Bull that we considerer the successes of the
Czar, of more value to the cause of civili
zation and liberty, than all the victories of
the Allies.
The Pennsylvania Railroad.
We understand that the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company has purchased the cars
boats, Rc., of the Forwarding Companies, '
with the intention we believe, of transfer
ring the cars to its road, and the boats to
some other canal. Many interested pa
pers ara indulging largely in denunciatory
language towards this road, for its action
in this matter, declaring among other mat
ters and things, that it is but a scheme of
a mammoth Corporation to '.break up, di
vert, and destroy the business on the Main
Line, so as to boicome the purchaser for a
mere song."
Now we do not wish to be considered as
the defenders of any "mammoth corpora
tion," but we think the Pennsylvania If.
R. Company has as good right to purchase
these line boats, &c., as any other corpora•
tion. And if the purchase is, was, or shall
be made for the purpose of reducing the
price set upon the public improvements,
the "mammoth corporation" is in no wise
to be blamed. The so-called public im
provements of this Commonwealth, and
more especially the Main Line, truly con•
sidered, are of no material benefit to the
majority of the tax payers of the State;
indeed they are a continual annoyance, al
ways requiring more money to keep them
in repair, pay employees, &c., than they
bring into the treasury If even the an
nual receipts balanced the annual expen
ditiist, we would be content to lot these
linllnvements remain in the possession of
the State, but their past financial history,
is certainly of such character, to awaken
the idea that they will never become of
much benefit to the State. In view of all
this, we imagine that the selling of the
Main Line, to the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, if only for "a mere song," in
• the end, would result advantageously to
` the interests of our tex•burthoned, debt
' groaning, plundered old State. Let them
• go for whatever they'll bring.

sue of the Globe, and prove how ung uar
edly it talks. In other words, we'll mere
ly prove the Globe a base calumniator; and
how faithfully it follows in the footsteps of
its antitype, the Pennsylvanian, in insert
ing a falsehood whero the truth will not
suit. T 0 the first interrogatory :
"But really Gabe, we can't see how you can
make it appear that you voted the Whi et?

Whig ticket? Didn't pri vote for hi

gularly nominated Whig candidate? Come

In relation to the manner we ever
have or ever will vote, we consider none
of the Globe editor's business. We do
not think we are bound to 'show our hand'
to every gawky country editor, of some
miserable lampoonish sheet. But to ease
the fuddled mind of this 'big little soul,'
we answer, as we did before, that we voted
for Whigs, ever since wo have been of the
age required by laid forfor exercising the
right of suffrage; and which, from some
unaccountable delay in our making our ap

Globe, that we last fall, when editor of the

nominated Whtg candidate for the Legisla
tare, and voted for the Hindoo clnclidate,
we pronounce a downright lie. The evi
dence we bring forward to prove it such,
is incontrovertible, it is the 'family record.'
If it would be a source of any gratification
to the editor, he is perfectly welcome to
examine the "big bible," in which he will
find that "Gabe, Jr.," was born on the 19th

City Newspapers.
We have often noticed paragraphs going

effect, that such and such a 'city paper'
has declared the country papers to bo re
ally worth reading, or something similar.
All that city editors have in view when
they make such a terrible condescension,
is to procure a notice, and many of our
country brethren are .sqfs' enough to give
it to them. We do despise such miserable

Correspondence of the Cleveland Herald.
Polygamy in Vtah.
kph fica-
I have detailed to you in previous letters the
debased condition of the woman in Utah.—
The Mormons, after their passions, (or, as they
call it, their holy desire to people the earth) ara
gratified, seldom pretend to support their nu
merous wives. Brigham Young declared last
conference that he did not know how many
wives he had. "Tell the Gentiles;" said he, "I
do not know half of them when I see them."—
rhe majority of these poor women aro compel.
led to work for their daily bread, and many aro
in such a destitute condition that they are for.
ced to seek the charity of strangers. It is an
actual fact that ono of the wives of the
of the Apostles gains leer livelihood by wash
log for the boarders of a public house in town.
Indeed it is nothing uncommon for these-lords
of creation to send their wives out in canoes for
wood, and any day . you can see women chop.
ping logs and driving cattle to the mountains.
I Subjected to a slavery worse than can be re
alized in the South, turned into prostitutes and
concubines against their will, denied even wo
man's chief prerogative—the use of her tongue
—them are now hundreds of females who only
await the opportunity to abandon forever a life
that so illy befits the proud spirit of American
Womanhood.
It was but yesterday that a widow with her
daughters called upon me, and lifter asking me
to lock the door of my room for tear she should
be 'surprised in the house of a Gentile, unfold•
od her story of bitter wrongs and sufferings.—
The Bishop of her ward had demanded her
whole Sanity, including herself, in marriage.—
She had given ne; all she had for tithes and
other taxes, and was new in the dilemma of
either starving or being compelled to share an
incestuous bed with the daughters of her own
body. With tears in her eyes, else prayed me
to afford her the means of going to'California
in the spring. These cases occur every day—
indeed the spirit of dissaiisfiection is univeriaj,
I have never conversed with a solitary woman
who was not discontented with her situation and
prospects. This speaks more than all the in
genious arguments in favor of polygamy, and
demonstrates the "plurality system" is adverse
to domestic love and happiness.
Mire would boa great field for your strong
minded women. If a few Bloomers and fast
young ladies would come out to Utah and raise
the cry of "virtue and independence," in the
valley of the mountains, the whole Mormon fe•

Execution of Pianori.
The French papers briefly say that the asses
sin Pianori was executed at 5 o'clock in the
morning, on the usual place of execution.
Pianori, it may be remembered, was con
demned to die the death of a parricide. The
place of execution was in the square of the
prison of Roquette, not far from the Bastile.
A scaffold was erected over night and the ear
ly hoar of 5 in the morning was appoint, d;
with the view of preventing a crowd. At a ve

Abducting an American Child.
- -
A letter write; at Home, gives the following
instance or reli,;ions chiltdsttaling. The New
York Observer correspondent states the filets
as follows: . . .
"A day or two since, a lad, the ton of •an
American artist—the well known illustrator of
llarper's Illustrated Bible—was missing. The
domestic, a most devout Catholic, protested her
innocence of his whereabouts. The Itid's'little
brother was called, and in his innocence, re
marked that he guessed he was at the convett.
This was the first intimation the parents had
that the child had ever visited a convent.
They then sent for the lieu. Mr. Ca.', who
took the boy with him, and went in, in his or
dinary dress, to the convent. The manner in
which the inmates gathered round and
wel
comed the boy, convinced Mr. Casa, that the
boy not often been there, anti led him to W
hew that the brother would Ito found there.—
He inq u ired for km but the Superior stoutly
aflirtned that he was not in the convent. Mr.
Cass, asked to be shown through the convent.
His request was granted, but no boy was found.
Mr. C. then noticed a passage leading to an
other part of the building. lie insisted on be
ing conducted there. Heaping a noise in a
count ns he passed along, ho opened a door,
and found a priest or two and a seat just vaca
ted. his instated that it was the seat alike
lost boy. The priest denied it. Mr. Cass,
then made himself known as the represents;
tine of the United States, nod pretty distinctly
intimated that some of Jonathan's thunder
would be put into reinsition if the boy was not
forthcoming immediately.
The boy was then brought forth from an ad
joining room, and restored by Mr. Cass to this
anxious parents."
The woman's excuse was, that if she could
save the souls of the children, all her sins
won't] be pardoned. Probably the lying supe
rior had similar views of the proceedings.
lltsuoxon.tutx CONOCCT.—We learn from
the N. Y. Express, that Archbishop Hughes
has published what purports, on its face, to be
“the controvcrsy between Senator Brooks and
Archbishop Hughes, growing out of the recent
ly enacted Church Property Bill, with an intro
duction by the Most Rev. Archbishop of New
York," but that the last letter of Mr. Brooks,
giving condensed testimony of the substance
and reality of all his iwevious assertions, and
embodying additional conveyances of property
to John Hughes, is designedly omitted its this
Book of 1913 pages; also, TILE CA !NARY CEME
TERY tErrEtt, and one other, though the Book
purports to be a complete correspondence. It
is also stated that the Archbishop has untended,
and altered, his own letters. The whole Book
thus becomes a fraud upon the public,—a sham
and a cheat,—in character throughout, as in
the controversy.

to the New York Times, Mr. Ericsson directly
contradicts the report that he has abandoned
his idea of making hot air serve the purposes
of steam ; and says that on the contrary he is
more than ever satisfied of the soundness of

to establish it. There are 'those who have

from some German statistical work. It is to
the effect that the area of the Russian empire

LUMEN L—The telegraph announced the elec
tion of our esteemed friend Hiram Hyde, lisq,,
of Truro, to the Provincial Assembly of Nova
Scotia. Mr. Hyde is a native of Sandy Hill,
in the State of New York, and has been for
some time one of the most enterprising and
successful of the citizens of that Province.—
He has been for yenre the mail contrite or, and
has distanced all` competitors, in spite of the
unfavorable disposition of the Provincial gov
ernment. Fire years ago, he obtained the con
tract for establishing telegraphic communica
tions between Halifax and Pictou, mid aeon
jolted even his friends by completing the line
in eight days from the commencement of put
ting down the first pole. He has subsequently
established a line to Sydney across the Gulf Of
Canso, Four years ago, he opposed a 'member
of the government running for the Assembly
trout Truro, and, came within half a dozen
vote:, of beating him. We are glad that this
time he has succeeded, and doubt not that ho
will prove one of the most popular and valua
ble members, though not a nutive.—Borion

Scorn—ths APPEAItANCE.—A corres•
pendent at the Boston Journal, writing from
New York, of a late date, speaks as fellows in
regard to the old wur••worn veteran Uenerat
Scott :
In passing down Twelfth St., today, I met
fur the first time for many months, lien. Scutt.
Ile resides in a splendid -mansion in that street,
which he has purchased since the title•of Idea
-
tenant General was given to hint, with the'Lil•
ary added from the time ofjhe war with Mex
ico. Ile grows old quite rapidly, and the
change in his appearance since the result of
the campaign that elected Gen. Pierce is very
apparent. Ills lofty form is bowed down—his
elastic step ht. passed away—a look of sad.
tees and weariness has settled upon those once
expressive and decided features. lie leads a
very retired life—sees but little company--
rarely appears in public, and • usually walks
alone. It is not possible to see Gen. Scott and
not be struck with the truthfulness, of Shake
spear's assertion, "That there a tide in the
affairs of men."
A WHOLE SYNOD AT DINNED. 1$ PITTS/WHO.
—The more solemn and dignified egercises of
the Reformed Presbyterian Synod in se,sion at
Pittsburg, were interrupted on Tuesday, says
the Gazette, by a dinner at the Monongahela
House, given by George 11. Stuart, Esq., of
Philadelphia, n prominent and active elder of
the church. The particular object of this festal
interlude was to give the members of the Synod
an opportunity of meeting, for the last tune, in
pleasant scudsl and fraternal intercourse with
Hey. Messrs. Herron and Calddwood, who are
about to depart ffir India, as missionaries.—
Several toasts were given on the oceasian, earn

MAINE LAW IN MICIIIGAN.—Tho liquor shops,
are closed pretty generally, though n few are
dealing out on the sly. Some are under indict

day adds to the number, and, therefore, every.
day decreases the amount of violation. At
first, various dodges were attempted, and liquor,
real blue ruin, was sold under the name of pop,
ginger beer, burnt cider, vinegar, and a thou
sand other names signifying something to take.
But when they saw the spirit of submission ta•
king a strung hold upon the mind of the public,
and when one alter another was hauled up to
answer for their violations, they became slight
ly tremulous, and concluded that it was at
least safe to keep out of the way of retribution.
