Democratic Convention To-Dar.
It i understood that several distinguished
gentlemen from abroad, now in attendance
on the supreme court at this plac hava sig
nified a willingness to address the democracy
at the close of, or during the convention this
afternoon. We regret that notice of this
fact could not bve been given in time, as
we then should have bad a rousing demo
cratic meeting. Democrats ef Ottawa,
however, who wi.-h to hear sotno good
speaking, will not fail to be on hand.
Drought.
There has been no rain in this region for
over four weeks, and very little compara
tively, for four months. This drought oc
curring just at the critical period with corn,
oats, potatoes, and, indeed, most of the
growing crops, is doing very great injury.
The grass i3 dying in all directions, corn is
pale and sickly, wheat is going into car
with less than a foot of straw, potatoes
are wilting, and oats and corn palp, sickly,
and dwarfed. Such dry weather at this sea
son, has not been seen in La Salle county in
fifteen years. Meantime, thf weather is
warm, and the streets insufferably dusty.
We are beginning to notice complaints of
drought in other quarters. We pray north
ern Illinois may not be on the eve of such a
drought as afflicted the southern part oi tne
statrf twe years ago. '

striking out the word "prosciiptive" and

the convention, with a great flourish of

a nephew of the patriot Etninet," to occupy
the chair during a whole day of its delibera
tion. Bit in the permanent organization
he was superseded by 11. S. Lane, of Ind.

The If orlh Americans," or Abolition
Hindoo.
Last Friday a convention met in New Yotk
city, in accordance with the appointment is
sued by the seceders from the National Hin
doo convention in Philadelphia that nomi
nated Fillmore. The object of the conven
tion wa to nominate a K. N. candidate for
the Presidency, who, while a good Hindoo,
should also be a god abolitionist. -A ftcr the
convention had met and organized, a com
munication was received from the National
fusion committer, inviting the convention to
make no nominations, but to join the grand
fusion conventional Philadelphia. A motion
was made to accept this invitation, witn this
modification that this convention would re
commend candidates, to be subject to the
final ratification of the Philadelphia conven
tion. The motion created a stormy debate
that lasted a day and a half; but was finally
adopteJ. whereupon about a third of the
delreaUS, being the Stockton men, headed
by New Jersey, withdrew in disgust. The
remaining members proceeded to ballot for
some good Hindoos to be recommended to
the fusionbU for ratification ss Presidential
candidate. A close run, through some ten
ballots, was had between Banks and Fre
mont, when finally Banks got the majority,
and w a declared nominated. Cor. Johnson,
r Pa., was then nominated for the Vice Pre
sidency, whereupon, after adopting a Hindoo-Abolition
platform, the contention ad
journed. Twe seced. rs met in a different quarter of
the city, and nominated Commodore Stock
. too 0f 2i. J., as their candidate for the Pre
sidency, and Kennett IUynor, ol N. C, for

From Kansas.
There is nothing exciting from Kansas
since our last About the last act of the
"border ruffians" was the destruction of
the town of Ossawatamic, where some bouses
were burnt and a printing press destroyed.
The gang was soon overhauled by Col. Snin
uer, disbanded, and sent about their busi
ness. At Palmyra a row occurred in which
fire pro-s!avery ruca were killed, but we find
I no particulars.
t Gov. Shannon had joined Col. Sumner at
the head of the troops. Several companies
j that had gone from Westport, Mo., to the
i aid of the pro-slavery men in Kansas, were
j disarmed and sent home; and indeed wher
! ever in the territory a squad of armed men,
no matter of what party, are heard of they
I are- at once sought out by the troops, and
sent about their business. The following
j " incident," shows how Col. Sumner docs the
. business : lie had overhauled Capt Brown,
ficc state, who bad taken Capt.- Tate and
party prisoners at Hickory Point
ffiiMi c. Sumnrr found Brown and bis
1 prisoners, he" read to both parties the pro
i clamation of Gov. Shannon, placing the ter
I ritory under martial law. He then ordered
i Crowu's parly to gc quietly to their homes,
;,i lni Raid. "What business
.iiu w"o 1 -
have you here, sir?" Pate answered, "1
am here by orders of Gov. Shannon." " You
are not, v.r," replied Col. Sumner, and fur
ther remaiked, "I saw Gov. Shannon yes
terday, and jour case was specially consi
dered, and he asserts that you are none of
his, are not here by his orders, and have no
business here. You are Missourians, all of
you, and when you crossed, your State line
you trampled on State sovereignty. Now
go, sir, in the direction from whence you
came," and thus speaking, Sumner waved
Pate's party to leave.
And so Capt. Pato himself writes to the
Missouri Republican that "all is now quiet
No fighting going on. The United States
troops are actively engaged in disbanding all
unlawful military bodies. In cases where
they have re-asscmbll, all arms are taken
from them." "Humors reach here every
day of violence upon the pro-slavery sctticrs;
but the evil is gradually curing itself. The
Abolition party is committing suicide it is
nothing but a disunion party. The pro
gramme is this: To leep up a running ji'jht
until the uhcle country it incolctd in tear.
This is their plan, as developed in various
ways. The leaders have told it, and there
can be no doubt as to its truth, and the plan
came from the House of Representatives.
The better class of free state men are anxious
for peace, and to get peace they are willing
to obey the laws."
Kansas News. Two letters were received

It is said Hinrnan received quite a nice
sum of money in Chicago for the story he
has been peddling around the country about
the sacking of Lawrence. But it seems the
general impression is getting abroad that
Illnman never saw Lawrence, and that his

in which this Hintnan's father was plaintiff
and Murray defendant.
We have known this youth for several
years, and have generally looked upon him
as a windy, noisy fedow, full of self-conceit,
with any amount of brass and impudence,
but entirely harmless. He is the 6ame fel
low that rigged our national flag on a pole,
upside down, and dragged the eagle and
stars in the dust through the streets of Otta
wa the time Cassius M. Clay made his fa
mous disunion speech here two years ago.
We are glad he has mounted the Kansas
hebby, because we know of no one who
could more speedily run it into the ground.
Fremont a K. N. Fremont, the nominee
! of the Philadelphia fusion convention, was
also a candidate for nomination in the recent
K. N. rational convention in New York,
where he run Ranks a close hitch through a
number of ballots." Previous to the balloting,
he was waited upon by Messrs. Davis, Raker
Sutton and Cary, as a committee from the
Convention, and interrogated respecting his
views upon the "American" question. The
nsult of their interview was highly satisfac
tory to the proscriptionists. Ho assured
thro that he approved of the main features
of the American platform, and that he would
carry them out honestly were nominated and
elected. He also expressed his willingness
to accept the nomination of their party, and
agreed to run as their candidate, even though
he might fail ia obtaining the nomination at
Philapelphia.

Domestic Ginger Bleu Two gallons of
ginger beer may be made as follows : Put
two gallons of cold water into a pot upon
the tire ; add t- two ounces of good gin
ger, and two pouuds of white or brown su
gar. Let all this come to a boil, and con
tinue boiling for half an hour. Then skim
the liquor, rid pour it into a jar or tub,
along with c . sliced lemon, and half an
ounce of cream of tartar. When nearly
cold put in a teaspoonful of yeast, to cause
the liquor to work. The beer is now made ;
and after it has worked for two days, strain
it and bottle it for use. Tie the corks down
i firmly.

The nomination of Fremont don't ' take"
with the fusionists in this region. The abo
litionists, particularly, say they can't stand
it. Fremont has always been known as a
Baltimore platform democrat, in faVor of
non-intervention by Congress on the slavery
question supporting the fugitive slave law
and all, and has never given any intimation
of a change of his views. His nomination,
as well as the platform adopted, they sayi
looks too much like a back-out' from the
anti-slavery position of northern fusionism,
and if this is not meant and they are told
Fremont is taken on a generous confidence
that he will come out right after the election,
they shake their heads, and intimate that
the wblgs wci c once cheated by John Tyler.
If our principles are worth anything, say
they, let us have Chase or Seward, or some
body that is known to be their advocate,
and not.Ukc an enemy on trust, that like
an adder, when we have warmed him into
life, will turn upon and sting us. There
were no guns fired on tho reception of the
news there was no rejoicing but an omi
nous sombre scowl darkened the counten
ance of fusiondom.
Harmonious Fusion ! The "nigger" cam
paign of 1 856, against the democratic party,
is not unlike, in many respects, the great
"hard cider" campaign against the democra
cy in 1840. The whig paity had then, as
the abolition party has now, its principles ;
but as these principles had become odious,
the wbigs dared not then, as the abolition
ists dare not now, nominate a man known to
be their open supporter. Thus Harrison and
Tyler were nominated in 1840, with the un
derstanding, or. hope, that, after the elec
tion, out of gratitude for the support re
ceived, they would turn whigs ; and now
Fremont, a mag opposed to abolitionism and
everything savoring of it from his boyhood,
is nominated for President, and Col. Bisscll,
a supporter of the fugitive slave law, and
not six months ago protesting that lie was
still a national democrat, is nominated for
governor, in the expectation that, ajtcr the
election, should they succeed, they will turn
abolitionists. It turned out, however, that
Tyler was not quite weathercock enough to
verify their anticipations, and should Fre
mont and Bissell be elected, we have no
doubt abolitionism will also find itself Ty
leritcd. There is another similarity in the two
campaigns. Hard ciderisin was made up of
all the fag ends of opposition to the democ- ;
racy, and from the speeches oi tneir orators, j
ana their papers, you iuuiu giuw ouj
hue of opinion on every conceivable fcubject.
It is jubt so now. On what possible points,
save opposition to the democratic party, can
Uenton and Seward, Giddings and Houston,
... VI n 1 1. . ,
or Fremont and Chase agree
In Illinois we have a fusion state ticket
made up of these fag ends, and it presents a !
piece of patchwork infinitely grotesque. The
harmonious blendings of the colors is forci
bly illustrated by the following extract from
the State Itegister:

though we have from the start condcronedf
and still condemn as an act of unmitigated
the assault bv Brooks uiion Se
nator Sumner, in the senate chamber l
Washington, there is yctno doubt but that
the iniury sustained by Mr. Sumner has, for
"'J"'J . J .
mere rarty effect, been most grossly exag
od. In the evidence, taken by the
house committee in the affair, appears that

Ant. They are nothing but
wounds.
Ones. What is your opinion in reft
to the condition of Mr. Sumner ? How
need he be confined on account of these
wounds?
Ans. His wounds do not necessarily con
fine him one moment. He would have come
to the Senate on Friday, if I had recom
mended it.
Que. Could he have come out with safe
ty? Ant. He could have come with safety, as
far as the wounds were concerned.
Que. And, as a matter of course, from
that time to the present ?
Ara. Yes, sir; he stated that he would
be ready to appear before the committee to
day. Sumner was assaulted on Thursday, and
on Friday, bis physician says, he could have
come out with perfect safety, and only failed
to do so, another part of the evidence says,
on accouut of the excitement. The surgeon
denies that he had, at any time, bad the
least fever, or was in any danger whatever.
And this is the man in reference to whose
case hourly bulletins were sent to the N. Y.
Tribum, whose head was a "mass of suppu-
rating sores," kc, Ac.
California. The San Francisco papers
by the latest steamer from California, give
accounts of a terrific excitement in that city,
growing out of the shooting of James King,
editor of the Eccning Lulletin, by James P.
Casey, editor of the Sunday Timet, both
San Francisco papers. The parties met in
the stieet, when Casey, without any previ
ous intimation of his intention, drew a re
volver and shot King, inflicting a wound of
which he died the next day. Casey Wa9 ap
prehended, and lodged in jail ; but the San
Francisco Vigilance Committee, to the num
ber of 2,500 well drilled and armed men,
took him from the keeping of the sheriff, to
gether with Cora, the murderer of Richard
son, (a month or two ago,) and at latest ac
counts had them in charge, intending to try
them by a lynch court, and would doubtless
hang both of them. There appears to have
been no considerable immediate provocation
for the assault on the part of Casey upon
King.

Isterxal Improvement in Egypt. Of the

was entirely subscribed in three days by the
public, and one millian nine hundred thou
sand of the amount was taken by fifty na
tiye Egiptians of the ancient race being
the first known instance of the participation
of that people in an industrial enterprise of
a national or corporate character. A new
light is certainly breaking in upon ancient
Egypt, the mother of the arts. Who knows

The position, of the Democratic partf on

Mr. Editor The fusion popera abound
with misrepresentations of the position of
our party on the subject of slavery. They
undertnke to fortify their statements from
tho "Richmond Enquirer" whose Editor
writes more like one non compos mentis than
like a sober reflecting man. That Editor is
not considered a true exponent of the views
of our party, either at the north or south.
It is clear to me, that tho position of the
party, as laid down in the Cincinnati plat

State of the Crops
We copy the following resume of the
nowspaper reports in reference to the crop",
from the Chicago Press i
The first wheat cut this season was in
Georgia, something more than a week ago,
and the harvest of this cereal in that State
is now Well advanced, if not entirely finish
ed.
The farmers of Sangamon county in this
Sute are preparing to cut their wheat, and
many fields, says the State Journal, will be
entered durinz the present week. 'Ihc crop
In that region will be a fair average one.
i- i . . , .,, .,i r"..,,. i
V c have not heard directly from bg pt, ,
but piesume the harvest has commenced
thr-rc also, as the crop there must be more
fully matured than it is through the centre
of the Stale.
Of the state of the wheat crop through
out the country we gather tho following in
telligence from various sources.
An experienced farmer who has recently
traveled through the Military Tract in this
State, says the fields of winter wheat look
finely, and promise an abundant yield. Such
is generally the case throughout t .e State,
though it is backward in some sections,
through the influence of cold weather and
t:.c drought.
We hear a very encouraging account of
the crop in Iowa, and the yield promises to
be abundant.
Our "Wisconsin exchanges and gentlemen
from that State with whom we conversed,
concur in stating that the wheat fields never
locked better, and it is the general opinion
that the yield, acre per acre, will be quite
equal to what it was last year.
In Northern Indiana the wheat looks
j splendidly, and we hear good accounts of it
from other sections in mai aiaie.
...... .1 ,
In Michigan, wherever the snow lay un-
disturbed by the winds during the winter,
the wheat was never better or more prom
ising than it now is; but where the ground
was exposed, and the snow swept away, the
crop is almost entirely destroyed. It is es
timated that the destruction embraces about
one-third of the breadth sown.
In Ohio the crop promises splendidly, and
the Buckeyes will soon be in the midst of the
harvest.
In the wheat-growing regions of N. York
the crop is reported to be in good condition,
' though rather backward.
In New Jersew the wheat has sunered se
verely from drought on low lands, but on ,
high lands it promises we'L
The crop has suffered severely from drouth '
in some portions of Maryland.
In Virginia it has suffered still more sc- j
verely from this cause, and also fiom the j
ravages of insects. j
Corn in our State is generally backward, j
from the effects of cold and drouth, and such
is generally the case throughout the country I
In different portions of Northern Ohio j
many farmers have been compelled to plant
a second and in some cases even a thi d time, !
on acccunt of the failure of the seed, and in !
the vicinity of Krie the pigeons have com- .
nutted creat depredations by plucking up ;

BURK'S PATENT
WIRE FENCE!
j premium awarded at tho State Pair
lleldat Chicago, October, 1855.
ffTE are now prepared to build and contract for T.
B. Murk's Omtraetite, Erpamits and Lateral
Prrmure Hire Awe.
For durability, utility and economy, tins Fence is nne-
quaied. On Prairie Farms, for the enclosing of fields of
grain, there is no Fence equal to it. For Km rods of
Fence I use only 4V common posts, two large posts 6x6,
and Inn spring posts one inch square, thus SAVING 1i
I'ER CENT, iu posts over any other Fence.
All the different kinds of Wire Fence in use, are con
tinually getting out of order. Cattle running or bearing
against the wires, spring the Fence, bend the wires, and
the Fence needs constant watshing and repairing. The
arrangement of this fence is such, that thd key and le
ver regulate all such trouble. The moment a wire Is
bent by an animal, the key aud lever restore it to its for
mer position.
The usual price for building within 100 miles of Chica
go is as follows :
Against Stock, down to Calves C months old, Cedar
Posts and S Wires, per rod, 75 cents.
Against Stock, down to Calves 6 months old. Oak
Posts and 8 Wires, per rod, 7U cents.
Sheep Fence, Cedar Posts and 5 Wires, per rod, tl.

This remedv, (known as "Smith's Tonic,") would Inva
riably BREAK an ague, but it did not CURE it, as it
would olteu return with renewed vigor. This on cir
cumstance I deemed in your favor, if I could Institute a
test comparison between it and yo ur CURE. The follow
ing is the result :
Three p rsons took your "Cure," ad of which were
cases of "Quotidian Intermittent Fever," of many weeks
standing. They had tried Quinine, and other remedies,
occasionally misting a chill, but it was, (as in all taeh
cases,) slowly wearing them out, and laying the founda
tion of other and severer maladies. I did sucseed In ef
fecting a radical cure of ail three of these cases with
your remedy, an l they nave not had a chill since. In
all three of these esses tbe -t'mith's Tonic" had been
used, and would, as before slated, break the chill, but
after a period or two had elapsed it would retain.
I think there will be no dilhculty now ia giving to your
"Cure" the vantage ground of any other remedy now in
use here. Ac. Ac. WILLIAM BUCKS. ER, M. D.
