At the present time, we find, in this county, Whigi who profess to be aitached to the doctrines and sentiments ot Henry Clay, but at the same time we see them bowing and smirking and aequiea10 thsir grand masters, "Know-Nothing ism," "black Republicanism and Abolitionism" denying .to tha foreigner that which thty are seeking to bestow upon the negro the right of suffrage and of holding office. These are the prims principles, the two heviet planks in the mongrel platform, and no man who is possessed of common sense and honesty, can Etoid .seeing that while they peek to disfranchise all but Native Americans, they are striving to extend the elsctive franchise to the sal's sons of Africa. While a majority of the Whijs of this county hare attached themselves to this self-consuming organization, a few of the rn still remember those patriot ic sentiments that came from the silver tones cf Henry Clay, when, in 1ES0, only four years ago, he said; Eat, if u (the whig party) is to b merged into a contemptible abolition party, and if abolitionism is to be engrafted upon tha whig creed, from that moment 1 renounce the party, and cease to b a whig, I go yet a step farther. If I &m alive, I will give my humble support to that man, for the presidency, who, to whatever party he may belong, is cot contaminated by fanaticism, rather than ta one who. crying out all the tim that he is a whig, maintains doctrines utterly subversive of the Constitution and the Union."

Slavery lu Icmsliia Every person writing, from "Kansas asserts ia the most positive terms that slavery will not be introduced into that Territory; and tha case is the same with regard to Nebraska. Notwithstanding this evidence however, ail the free soil papers and a large portion of the northern whig press persevere in expressing a contrary opinion hoping doubtless by a continual reiieration cl averments that the newly organized Territories will certainly be slavehoiding to induce a beliefto that effect in the minds of soma of their leaders their objects in pursuing this course being to advance the accomplishment cf certain political objects. That some foolish people will be giillid by their confident assertions is highly probable; but that any person possessed of common sense will be deceived by such evident misrepresentation is hardly within the range cf possibility. Tha following extract from a St. Louis cerreipcn&ent of tha New York Tribune, & paper entertaining the most rabid abolition views exhibits in a true light the fesiiE cfth pepk of Missouri relative to the introduction of slavery into ii.antE3. Here 1st me say a word to the men ol the North who intend to settle ia Kansas. While I would not abate on jot or tittle cf my principles, nor sacrifice them to any time-serving policy, and whib I would not hesitate to proclaim them boldly and earnestly when the occasion shall demand it, of which each person mast judge for himself yet my advise is by slS means forbear uttering hot and a ng words. They effect nu good whatecer, but tend only to exasperate the feelings of tha aavshoider and southern men generally, It is my earnest conviction that a Urge majority of people of Missouri are not only willing but eager tr.ct Lamas shall be secured to freedom.

There can be no party deserving or capable of influencing the destinies ot this republic, whose organization embraces only half the States of the Union, end which is avowedly hostile to the other half. What trut patrot, what thoughtful statesman, could give hts confidence to such a partyt For our humble selves, we would rather be in a minority of one than among the majority of any party that embraces only a section of the Union. To the ex tension of slavery we are as strenuously opposed as our Springfield cotemporary can be and we think it may be assumed that the whig party in the free Statss generally entertain that sentiment. iiut there are whigs at the South, also, who do not desire its extension, and not a few who, could it be peaceably and safel accomplished, would be glad to ieeahe pecurial institution abrogated. If the whigs of the free States are going to erect a platform for themselves, from which thena and t'.l other Southern whigs are to be positively excluded, these gentlemen must of necessity unite with the pro-slavery democrats cf the South, just as it is proposed that the whigs of the North shall unite witn the Ireesoil democrat; ai.d then where are we? On the way to certain disunion which ever section is victorious; for from the moment that North and South take this, defiant hostile attitude the spirit of union departs and the lifeless form will undergo certain and rapid decay, The whigs will do thdr best to keep up faithfully their party organization and wait the course of events. The signs of the times indicates that they will have abundant need of perfect organization and unity before-long. At any rate we had better be as we are than be a party limited by fjeogrphical lines. . An Exciting Scene lions Dashing into a Camp Meeting.

The above naraed States in 1850, according the csnsuj . returns, produced ths f-lIor-irj . "Entities ol this stiple. Illinois bushels, Missouri' do Indiana do Ohio ' ' do Tennessee do ' Kentucky do Total . . . 57,645,584 v J I -a jU-J ( 2,Ci 4S S3 3,672.672 316,353,390 Now, if we estimate half 'a crop in the present season, and it is more likely to fill below, than go above it, tha failure in round numbers, in these half dozen SlaUs reaches the round amount of 153,426,633 bushels! The direct less in the value of this quantity cf corn can be readily estimated, and it ia frightfully large: but the indirect loss will be much greater. The States named are the principle grazing, stock growing and hog producing States of the Union, end upon tha money received from these sources the people of those States chiefly rely. But the failure of the corn crop produces a corresponding failure ia the hog crop, and a partial one in the beef crop. Thousands of farmers who expected to realize large sums tha approaching autumn and winter from- the sale of pork and beef, will consider themselves fortunate if able to fat sufficient far their own family use. The turns which will thus be lost are difficult of estimation but the New York Tribune's estimate of onehundrsd million of dol. lars for the United States, will not near, ly cover the loss in the six States named in our list. But while the farming community are thus compelled to suffer loss all other classes will more cr less participate in if It must have a depressing effect upon every description of buianess it will materially check the progress of im. prbvemenl throughout tha country pri. nes of real estate of horses, caitie and hogs will depreciate in the region of the drought and prices of provisions will. go up to a high figure in the principle mar. key cf the country-railroads, steamboats and vessels upon lea lakes will have less to do. In a word Tvery - interest great or small must coma in for a share of ths loss resulting from the failure of this great staple ot our country. We conversed yesterday with an in. teili-ent and active buisness man from 5 Middle Illinois, from whom we learned that ram in any degree of atunu ar.ee could not now -Iva in his region even half a crop. rtnr'ers, he informed us, were offering to 8?11 stock hogs, 'atone tn ene ar.d a half cnts j ir pound, gross weight.
