MR. FLOl'R.VOY.
Meeting at the African Church To-Xight.
Mr. Flournoy will speak to-night at the African
church on subjects connected with the Presidential
canvass Wc venture to predict that the highest
anticipations will be more than realized by the speech
of this distinguished orator.
Every now and then we hear a blatant Democrat
or a sofl-pated Whig refer to the alleged invincibility
of the Democracy in the past as assurance of Demo
cralic success in the approaching contest What
forre there ia in this sort of logic tnay be easily test
ed by reference to the past. In every other Presi
dential election for the last twenty years the Dentoc
racy have been routed aud driven from office. This
proves that a new aud powerful principle has come
into operation to control elections. That principle
U the tpoilt. The Ini have them—the Onto want
them The latter are a hundred to one of the, former,
and in every square and lair contest, unaffected by
aide issues victory will perch upon the banner of the
opposition The Democracy are attempting to evade
the effect of this principle by discarding the present
iurumhent and setting up a new man, who will hold
out hopes to the outsiders that some of Pierce's ap
pointments will be removed for their benefit. Hut
as this expedient can have but a very limited in
fluence, they lug in the slavery question,as has been
*,,vl* 1 iu ui>uau aim wiaKUi
the opposition. \V ithout the aid of slavery agitation,
what at this moment would be the condition of tl:e
Democracy * Taking the strength of the Adminis
tration as a fair test ol the strength of the Democra
tic party, that party is in a decided minority in two
thirds of the Stntes. The slavery question out of the
way, that opposition would bo united, and its union
would ensure the expulsion and subversion of the
Democracy. So much for the vaunted invincihili'y
of the Democracy!
How far their lugging the slavery question into
the Presidential contest tnay go to save them from
the merited fate of unfaithful servants, is a different
nutter. Since the unlucky character of their nomi
nee becomes more and more apparent, all the proiia
bilities arc that they will make nothing by their in.-—
tion. Every day's development tends to show that
he is the weakest candidate in tho field, and his long
er continuance before the country will only weaken
tiie cause, the success of which his Southern chain
pious profess above all things to desire.
In surveying the present triangular contest, ike
following positions seem incontestable : 1. That there
Is very great doubt whether either of the candidates
will be elected by the people. 2. If Fillmore well
withdrawn, there might be doubt whether Fremont
or Buchanan would succeed—though the probabiii
tic* are itronij that Fcinnnt irouhl be the *uc.v»»
.fal a. i;. This i. clearly the conviction ol the Black I
E publicans themselves who, with every disposition
to leery Fillm Te, arc forced to confess that lie is tin
only serious obstacle in their way. 3. If Frem >nt
were withdrawn and tnc opposition to tho Detuocra
« 1 si, «U tn tliat #»•«£ if irnttM h*» fha dftVnry
question being withdrawn by the withdrawal of Fre
mont,—Kiinuore would be elected. 4. If Bucha'tan
were withdrawn, Fillmore's election would he still
more certain, for he would then get the whole vot«
of the South and fully half of the North.
In whatever aspect these several positions an
viewed, Fillmore is seen as the national and conser
vative man, independent of the sectional factioi
and worthy of the confidence of the whole L'nioii.—
U - is a Northern man—a Northern conservative ; tin
pc iple of the North cannot fear him. He has fille
the Presidential chair in critical times, and has proved
by hi- action that the South need not distrust him—
that he is true to all the guarantees of the Constitu
tion.
In this view of the matter, wo seriously submit it
to Southern Democrats to withdraw Mr. Buchanan,
and thereby make certain the election of a man iu
whom we can all confide. The withdrawal of Mr.
f illuuro r iuld not aid Mr. Buchanan; on tho contr.i
ry, it would render highly probable, if not certain,
th« election of Fremont.

were withdrawn today, it would only eusure the clactiin
of Fremont. This, the liUck Republicans, who are ven
ready to depreciate the strength of Mr. Fillmore, admit.—

The Wheat Market.
The wheal market opened here at gl.80—1.8ft, am
though the news from abroad and from the North ia high
ly encouraging, and shows an advance, we note a diapo
aition to decline here. Soinetiody has said that the prior
was put too high at Gret, to stimulate farmer* to pual
their wheat into market, that a glut might enaua, and th<
millers have them at their mercy. Wc know not hos
much truth there mav be in this, hut wc are not disposes
to credit it. aa we have always found the Richmond mil
lens fair and liberal beyond those of any other city. Bu
a recurrence to the past proves that usually, at this sen
soil of the year, there Is a glut, and a consequent deprea
•ion in price. It ia natural it ahould be ao. The seasot
U convenient for delivery—and when the basin and doc!
become crowded with vesals laden with wheat, farmer!
must either sell or store. The Inter operation ia ripen
aive. To aell, Ihe immense quantity put* it in the powei
of millers to bny at a low figure—and it is their right tc
profit by the circumstance.
But farmers, being forewarned, are forearmed. They
must take care not to throw too much of the article on the
market at once.
Aa to Ihe range of prices in the future, we cannot
speak positively. Our belief is, that there will be a Eu
ropean demand tor all we have to spare. The stocks are
short abroad, both in England and on the Continent.—
What the vivid will bo In this country, we cannot say.—
Wc know It is less in Virginia than it was last year ; and
we fear tho short corn crop will require more of it than
usual for domestic consumption.
But let others judge fo- themselves. Ws endeavor to
lay belore our readers all the tact* boating on the subject,
and leave them to decide. It is a sale general rule to

Logic in Few Words.
A correspondent thus comer* Buchanan and his South
ern apologists. A volume of ftOO pages could not be
more effective :
"The h’lqumr, in its effort* tojusnty Mr Buchanan *
position in his Sanford letter, contends that Mr. Duchau
au'a position is right; and to sustain it, la forced to take
the ground that Congress has the right to legislate on
slavery in the territories. But, says the Enquirer, Con
gress has the right to legislate lor the protection, and not
for the abolition or exclusion ol slarerv iu the territories.
Well, admit that the argument of the Enquirer is right,
vet it cannot place Mr. Buchanan in this position, because
in She Sanford letter, where Mr. Buchanan takes hit posi
tion, he says : * Having urged the adoption of the Missouri
Compromise, the inference is irresistable that Congress, in
my opinion, possesses the power to legislate upon the
subject of slavery in tuc territories.' From this sentence,
the onlj just conc’usion that can be drawn is, that, in the
opinion ol Mr. Buchanan, Congress has the power to leg
islate upon the subject of slavery in the territories, in all
cases, as it did in the adoption of the Missouil Compro
mise Act, which Mr. Buchanan says he urged ; and in the
adoption ol that measure Congress did legislate for the
exclusion, and not solely for the protection ol slavery in
the territories And thus Mr. Buchanan is driven from
ths position ol the Enquirer, that Congress has the power
to legislate for the protection, but not for the exclusion ol
•Itvery in the territories."
The Ho i. Frank Granger, ol Sew York, in avowing
hiintoll lor Fillmore, utters a truth, which we believe l*
especially applicable to Virginia " II all the men in th.
Cuion, who think Mr. FWIinors would make the best re
sident, would vote lor him, he would be elected bv an
immense majority.”
We believe, if this rule were to govern in Virgin;»,
that this State would give at le»*t 2'\o00 imjo.itv lor
Fillmore. There aru scores and hundreds and thousands
of Democrats, who have every confidence in Mr Fill
more's integrity, and who regard him as far superior ti
other ol his competitors. Some of them will vote lor him
—if all would act with equal independence, the majority
ol go.nhn would be a certaint*.
_m_;_
Atlt. r.US 'Sf as stir knrm — 7T»- Iras ,ytht Confer,
i i'ire Hrret.—All the leading opposition journals of the
•South spfcak iu the moat encouraging manner ol Mr. Fill
noreanJ hi* prospects in that section ol the Chion. The
Richmond Whig is confident that be will carry Virginia,
the Wilmington Republican hold* a similar tone in relation
to Delaware; the Louisville Journal is equally sanguine
concerning K-ntucky ; the Augusta Chronicle is sure that
h • will prevail in Georgia ; and the Sew Orleans Bulletin
-• iiploys the most encouraging language in relation to
Louisiana. The intelligence Imm Missouri, Flotids and
.North Carolina is also of the mo*t satisfactory kind. We
have before us v.-n ous expressions of public opinion from
the States alluded to, but be havu only loom to notice a
lew. The New Orleans Bulletin says "the ground-swell ol
the people in (avor oi Fillmore all over '.he country.is ren
iering his opponents frantic and desperate." It quote*
thcexpressions of some of the Democratic papers, and says
that the language they employ "is calculated to make the
iitiprcasiu i that they aru beside themselves, and going
stark mad."
The Augusta ^Ga.) Chronicle, says that “every thing tends
o »lengthen the conviction that Fillmore will carry Geor
gia by a sweeping uiajoiity, if his friends but do their du
ty. Tbe enthusiasm with which his name is welcomed on
■II sides would be alone a guarantee of success, but we
lave other proofs of his increasing popularity. Men who
lave *tood alo-d Irom the political organisations of the
lay, are coming forward on all sides to record their cot fi
leuea for him. The young who are eager to enter the
arena, tike pride in brooming the supporters of one whose
tame is a sound of welcome to their ears. The large body
>f man who recognise in Mr. Fillmore the great exponent
.1 Ameiican sentiment, and who remember with gratitude
'he patriotism and sound statesmanship he revealed on
every occasiou during his Presidency, are happy io web
coming so many uew recruits to his standard.”

The Louisville Journal is battling manfully, and appears
to have no doubt whatever of a brilliant saceess in Ken
tucky. So too, the Nashville Banner in lelatiou to Ten
uessoe. The public meetings that have been held in that
State, have been truly enthusiastic. The Ls Grange Bul
letin, speaking of Miasouri, calculates the vote at the next
Presidential election, at I In,000, and it predicts a Fillmore
majority of at least 10,000. There are indeed cheering
signs, and they are from sources of the highest intelligence.
The prospect now is, that Mr. Fillmore will carry a large
msjorlty ol the Southern Slates. Should such a result l»e
realized, the election of Mr. Buchanan will of course lie
out of the question. The Fillmore strength in the South,
already great, is constantly increasing; a d this condition
of affairs is likely to continue, until the great struggle in
November. In brief, the nominations mule at Cincinna

Another Batch of Improvement Bill*.
The majority ot the Democracy in the Senate are intaipre
ting the Cincinnati platform for Mr. Mason with a ren
geance. Tuesday last wa* employed as Monday waa h
discussing and passing bills of improvement. How man
tuo:a they hare iu reserve, we are not adrlaed. Rnough
' no doubt, to settle the Cincinnati platform to Mr. Maaon'
satisfaction.
Wc copy a nummary ot the proceeding* from the Na
lional Intelligencer; r
I t osouu 7\rr*«/.iy.—There waa another earnest dl*
cuaaion upon Uie Internal Improvement bill*, and *otn<
progress waa made In their disposition. The first till
considered wa* oue making an appropriation for the con
nlruction of a hartnir at New Buffalo, in the State ol Mich
i igau. Thi* w** discussed on it* expediency and necvwai
ty, and rejected by a rote ot 17 to 21. The next bill wa
one making an appropriation for the construction of a liar
bor at the mouth of Clinton rivet, in Michigan. Thi* *U«
[ wt* contested with spiilt Ity the minority, and was pamci
tty a vote of 24 to 17. The bill making an appropriatior
for completing the harbor at St. Joseph, in Michigan, wai
passed. The bill making an appropriation for completing
th« pier* at the harbor ot Monroe, in Michigan, was alec
passed. The bill making an appropriation tor the con
slruction ol a heritor at the mouth ol the Moskcgon river,
in Michigan, underwent the saute aoiere ordeal as its pre
decessors, and wa* finally laid upetn the table at the in
stance of Mr. Bell. The next lull was one to continue th«
improvement*in the harbor ot Newark, Naw Jersey; and
upon tliia the whole field of argument was again travers
ed. Messrs. Masou, Tooinbs, Oar, Hunter, Adams, and
Utggs questioned tli* nccufwey ol the estimates, the neces
sity and propriety of the proposed improvement, ande*
|teciaily iu claim to nationality. Mr Butler repeated hi*
declaration that iu lit* opinion no Confederacy on the face
ol the earth could stand which, without regard to justice,
levied tu contribution* upon one portion ol the pimple for
the benefit of a larger portion. At otto moment the im
provement was claimed under the power to provide a na
vy, and there muat bon harbor of refuge; at another, a
different power was invoked, and thus the advocates of
these measures always had a place of refuge. The frien<i*
ol the bills und r consideration seemed anxious to proceed
Without deflate to the consummation of the work before
them,and Mr Bell, ofTemiesaoe, expressed hisanxietr to
get a little further South They therefore only took part
iu tho discussion when severely pressed by their oppo
nent.; and whilst Messrs. Crittenden, Seward, Douglas,
and Ca.s were content with making brief explanations ami
>espouses, Mr. Stuart and Mr. Pugh retorted with rigor

bill last under consideration, and the Senate adjourned at
a quarter to fire o’clock.
Effect* of the Whig Convention.
Movements arc being made in various States, responsive
to the suggestion* of the Whig Convention held in thi*
city, for a National Convention of the Whigs in Baltimore.
Tin good effects ol that Convention are visible everywhere.
Its proceedings have infused a new spirit into the noble
old W hig party. Every man of them feel* that he staud*
upon firmer ground than lie did six week* ago. All teel
that they have high and holy duties to perform, and they
ire encouraged by the aigti.* of the times, that their labors
will not be in vain.
A correspondent from Greenbrier, writing to the Staun
ton S/tectalor, thus rclers to the cheering influence* of the
Whig Convention :
" I am happy to say that I find the feeling in behalt of
Fillmore in this county quite enthusiastic. The Americans
are tor him. of course, with all their heart, and I am credi
bly informed that the old-line Whigs are ditto. Our cou
temporary ol the Chronicle has gone sadly estrav, but the
Wings ol Greenbrier will prelor to follow the lead of such
men a* Rives and Micfarlaud, and Pendleton and Goggin.
The action of the Old Line Whig Convention ha* given
intense satisfaction to ail parties tide, except the Demo
mat*. who foolishly anticipated a different result. These
latter Walk about with their fingers in their mouths, and
ludicrously declare that the Whig Convention was con
trolled by Know-Nothings. I am assured by some of du
llest informed men in the county that Greenbrier will be
O. K. in November."
OPINIONS OF THE DEM0CRat7c”PRESS.
The organs of the Southern wing ol the Democracy,
which has heretofore in a great tnr*»ure controlled the
party, are very indignant at the late action ol the United
"tab's Senate, in passing the internal improvement hills
over the President's veto. They arc not only indignant,
l ut nlarmed,—there is danger of a great defection. The
Columbus t Mississippi) Corner Stone, a thoroughgoing
Demociatic paper, speaks out very freely. It says: “The
Democratic party is to all intents and purposes a* fully
federalized a* the old Whig party, ind it ou./ht to be kirk ,
•d o-r of poteer." Tile Charleston (S. C.,) Merrury say*:
“\\ e regard thi* last act of the denioeratie parti as
mat nnfort Data for it* aoccsss and stability. No party
can i-ominai d the confidence of the country which wears
it- faith so loosely. It taint* with suspicion and distrust
nil it* pledges, and biings the party into contempt with
honest men evervwhere, and it ia >>. * position *-u priUvu*
to Vlmit ol such tampering with it* principles."
And even the Rietimond Enquirer, with all iw skill in
explaitdiig away the inconsistencies of the party, and its
present leader, is obliged to enter » “Protest" against this
act. See what the Enquirer nfiys:
“Against the traditional policy of the party, against its
latest declaration of principle in the Cincinnati Platform,
•nd despite the protest of the President, three Internal
Improvement bills have been enact- d by the aid of Dem
ocratic voles. Never have we known the mass of the De
mocracy in thi* State, and we inav say throughout the
South, so huimli ited and incensed a- by this instance of
profligate suWri iency to local prejudice. No occur
rence since the <-rga- ization of the Democratic party has
*o shaken the hiitli of the people in it* firmnes* and fidel
ity. Dur only ctmsol.iiion is that it is not within the pow
er ol a few ivcrca t individuals to debauch and demoral

received after the forecomft was written There add at/eugth In the
; view* cipreeaed above.
Since the election of the 34tli Congress, the result of
every election haa been adverae to the Democratic par
, ty. Amid unparalalled exertions within and beyond the
, limits of the State—with every nerve oi the national ri
oculive stretched to tho utmost to win back hb nativo
State—with tho eloquence of tho South sent to impart
warmth to the expiring Democracy—to cherish and min
I later to it—the granite State ot tlio North resisted every
1 effort nl the Democratic partv under circumstances far
more favorable than can occur again. New Hampshire
has been the never faltering bulwark of Democracy; it is
the Stale of Franklin Tierce; his re-nomination to the Pre
sidency waa the issue at stake. The influence of State
pride—the power of the executive head of the nation—the
expectation ol reward in the distribution of spoils—were
not sufficient to restore her to tlic Democratic rank*. No
other *t.ito of the North presents prospects hall so promi
sing as New Hampshire.
I-ook uow to the great Sute of New York. The Dem
ocratic party held more than two thirds of the represenu
live power ol the State in the thirty-third Congress. It
is onr-tmth in the existing Congress ! At the last Novem
ber election (it i« the latest teyt), the American party, with
a vote of US.ftiV), won the State with a majority ol 12,000
over the Black Republicans, 57,000 over the Soil and
lol.tHH) over the Hard lacliona of the Democratic party.
Thirty-five thousand “old line Whigs" withheld their votes.
Upon the assumption (which will be shown to be unfound
edl of u perfect union of the Hards and Sofu in the Presi
dential contest, the combined vote of the Americans and
Whigs, united as they are on Fillmore with enthusiastic
cordiality, will be a majority of 33,000 over the Democra
tic party, and a majority ol 47,000 over the Black Repub
licans.
Hopeless as it is, this is the most favorable aspect of the
casein New York upon the side ol the Democracy. But
there is no cordial union between the Hards and Suites_
oil and water will mingle quite as well. At the recent
marriage of the two committees, celebrated a few nays
since in the city of New York, nearly one-third voted against
thu terms of umon—the vote being 1st to 6.* If such dis
sent exist in the city, far greater will be that of the Sute.
The New York firming Pott (Democratic orgau of the
Softs) publishes, under the head of the “ I'oiet of the Ra
dical Democracy of A York," an address protesting
against the action ol the Soft Sute Convention, hold at Sv
i .reuse on the 10th of January last, in promulgating doc
tiinea “widely and irreconcilably at variance" with the
doctrines heretofore held by the Radical Democracv ol thu
State on the slavery question.

SCARCITY OF IIRKA D3TUFFS IN FRANCE.
We mnsirler it useful to offer to the public certain po
eilive facta afforded by history with respect Pi the natural
| rau-cs of scarcity, in order to destroy the popular prrju
| 'lice, which has existed ter centuries, that attributes n> tb*
a relics- of speculapir* and to the hoarding of corn, the oc
currence of famine. Scarcity ia no le«a natural an event
than abundance; that la, there exists in llie regular course
of event** succeaaisiii ol rircumatancea connected with the
climate that are r-*pectlvely favorable and prejudicial to
the production of corn. The earth has its periods of abun
dance and alerilily. ft baa appeared o> us advisable p>
pon»iilt the source* of hispiry containing secrets #o useful
to the psipulalinti, and we place la-fore the public a series
ol eighty four year# of scarcity, which historian* have re
corded within the last four centoriea.
From the list given by our cotemj orary we extract the
most memorable inatance* of scarcity that have occurred
in France:—
From the year 182V to 1884 a continual scarcity exis
ted, whiMi wa* due to excessive and permanent heat.
During these six years it did not frsexe taro day* in aue
ceaaisrn. The earth was covered with weed* and insert*.
In 1666 an extraordinary scarcity occurred. In 1676 Pa
rt* wa* was Invaded by the population of tire rural districts,
drivsn in by famine. In 1687 the field* were not culti
vated in consequence of the wars of the Leagite. All
stranger* were driven out rtf Pa<i*. In 1626 there wa* a
general scarcity over Europe. In 1684 the wheat perish
ed in const quence of inundations. In 1892 a famine fol
lowed eight years of abundance. In l6V8the crop# were
destroyed by rain*. The moat terrible irtatanre of scar
city in modern limes prok place in I7b9. The previous
autumn had been rainy; in the night of the 6th January
there ante# a north wind of a severity hitherto unknown to
man. The earth was froten two feet in depth. All the
wheat perished, and not a single eer of corn was produced.
In Ihe spring the whole country was lik* an immense
field. In 1764 a general famine I* recorded. In 1796
took place the Prairial insurrection. Bread was sold in
PaHa at three hundred ftaaea, In amlgna*, the pound. Ii
*ha provineaw the pound araa disposed of at SO u
ft<i sous In silver. In ItOrt, |gn|, and lgiM. partial soar
ciliea occurred In ISIS bread uae worth 7 eous tlss
pound In Parte. This doarnerM delayed for two atonthi
the departure of tho army which Invaded Russia; them
two unntha changed th* face ol tho glob#. In 1817. ths
price of breed i n Paris was t* eous the pound j and it
I83V>. 4 1-2 eous; in 1847. fi 1-3 sous; and in 1844, I
sous the pound. This list proves that in general eightrei
yesr* of scarcity occur In the century, or more than out
year of want per 8 year* of abundance. These are unde
triable facte, and to doubt their significance would Ire pur
tile. They prove that the produce of a century coni|iritt
thirty-two season* ol abundance and eighteen ineutHeieui
or had harvest*. Scarcity ia thcrvlor* a nominal scourge,
or rather it ia a regular feature of the general production
Are we certain that the period* of sterility, during whieli
vegetabl* life appear* at a -land Mill, do not conlributr
to the energy of the fruitful period * Who ia the land
owner that doe* not po*ar«a fruit tree which bear unit
once in two years 7 •••*** '
The beat solution ol th* problem of scarcity will alwayt
be that whiclr combat* the scourge with the greatest nuui
her ol possible mean*. The reduction uf railway Iran*
port charge* on provisions, the improvement of cultiva
tion and drainage, a more extensive produetion of cattle
which diminish** th* consumption of bread, the Introdue
tion of tropical tubercle*, and the more general usage oi
genuine wine which keep* up the strength—nothing in •
word must be neglected. It would be, however, a great
error to be alarmed by the idea that Prance does not pro
duce in a regular manner the necessary quantity of corn
for homo consumption. It iaonlv in poor or weakly pop*
'dated countries that a surplus of wheat exists, such as
Poland, th# Ukraine, the Danubian province*. Hungary,
Turkey, Kgypt, Spain, Algeria, and the Uuited Stale*.—
Rich and populous countries never sell corn, becau** they
consume it. Knglaml always, and Prance, often requires
corn. But there always exist com to he sold in some di
rection or another, and it only requires to be In pos
session of naval material in order to transport it with ce
larity, and ol railways to distribute it with economy. It
is only necessary to be rich enough to pay for it.
Wttio Movxmkmt IM Lor tat am *.—In accordance with
previou* announcement, there waa a large gathering ol old
; line Whig* at Baton Rouge, in the 17th instant, at which
I resolution* were adopted in favor of Mr. Fillmore, and the
j Hon. F. D. Conrad was appointed delegate to the Whig
> National Convention at Baltimore, and J. M. McCutrhen,
| K«q., as substitute. Thu* the old line Whig# in one State
1 after another are wheeling into line for Fillmore.
Hkavt Skmtkmck.—Michael Gleason was convicted in
, the criminal court at St. Lout*, on the 23d in*t , ol viola
ling a little gill. and waa sentenced to fifty years’ impii
•onmerit in the penitentiary. He i* about thirty-five year*

GagaaaL Rnstaaa.—The prediction* of the wcathcrwlie have not
been fulfilled In this locality. Although other section* have been fa
vored with light showers, no rain ha* yet fallen here, or lo thl* vi
cinity. The consequence la th»t the spprehenrtoo* for the corn crop
bare much Increased, and the belief (alnaground that the rain could
now do no good. The protracted drought baa rrodrrod all the
stream#, including James river, unusually shallow. This scarcity of
wat-r Interfere# sadly with milling operations, here as elsewhere.
and without copious ralos In a short time, ths supplies of Sour mast
prove e aceedlngly light for weeks to come. Bacon is taking the
•backtrack" Groceries generally steady. Wheat In f. Ir demand
at a small decline. Tobacco advancing. For prices see aooeied
