Accounts in the public prints in all parts of the State, aa well as those received from individual observers, confirms the apprehensions hitherto expressed, that the wheat crop in Ohio has been greatly reduced, both in quantity and quality, by the rust, and the attacks of the weevil. With the exception of a small portion of the Western Reserve, which has comparatively escaped, the loss seems to bo nearly equal throughout the State the variation being as great between different fields in the vicinity, as between different counties. From conversations with gentlemen who have taken pains to inquire, and who have come from various parts of the State, we are constrained to believe that the harvest will not exceed in quantity one half of the promise of the opening season. Ohio State Journal. Virginia. The harvest is prttty well through, in all Virginia east of th mountains, and though the crop is unusually late, and suffered somewhat from rust, and very much from the April frosts, it will exceed an average one. The season has been dry and favorable for securing the crop. ? Missouri. This is harvest week. We learn from many of the farmers that the wheat crop will be a tolerably fair one, and the grain generally very sound. The prospect of the hemp crop, in many sections of the country is good.

" Sirrfilar intelligence reaches us from IoW, where the wheat crop is becoming one of some moment. The Burlino-toni Hawkeye says that the farmers have just cut and put away "the heaviest crop of wheat ever grown" in that State. The ber 1 " ry is round, plump, and unusually large. The same paper says: 44 It is certainly of very superior quality, and the yield per acre must considerably exceed the average of the last several years. These taken in connexion with the fact that the amount sown last fall and spring was much greater than that of any former year tells a most encouraging tale for the farmers. The Hawkeye gives a good account also of the growing corn of Iowa.

To the Voters of Wayne County.

Fellow Citizens: On the 20lh day of last December I was attacked with a fearful disease, j with which 1 was confined to my bod till the middle of last My: during that time, without any agency of mine, I was chosen aa one of the Whig nominee, for a seat ia th-s next Lgislature. Although I am recovering from the disease, which so entirely prostrated me, I am still unable to walk except with the aid of a crutch and cane, and I fear I shall be unable to canvass the whole cotintv in person; as I am advised. that certain gentlemen of miscellaneous politics I " ! are making strenuous exertions to def-at me, as ,k-. --tl-,..,. nims are associated with me on the ticket, I have, iu com ! pliauce with the wishes of my friends. dopted this mode of laying before you the views and , ,' sentiments entertained by me on the various questions, by which the public mind is agitated. ; As the conduct and votes of our members of . . ... i Congress orten are. ami always should oe re- .... . , ,, .,,. : irulated an 1 controlled by votes of instruction, B ' . . . . . emanating from Iho Legislature 01 meir .-iaie. it is important that a candidate for the State : legislature shoulJ give a fu'.l and candid expositioii of his vie.vj on quustious of 11 ttioiial policy Upon the questions of Protective Tarill', the improvement 01 our rivers aim naruors, nuu mr establishment of a uniform currency for the government and the people, my sentiments are those advocated by the Whig party, with which I h ive been for years associated. Ever since I became a voter I have resiled in this county, and my vote and influence have always been cast in favor of Whig men and measures to which I have alluded, I have always regarded as bei ig of paramount importance, and favorites of the j; Whig party. But there is one question of engrosinj an! absorbing interest, a question that in the extent of its magnitude and importance, towers as fir above all others, as the highest peak of the Anders towers above the vale, that lies nestling at its foot. I refer to the question of Slavery, and the extension of that institution over the territory recently acquired from Mexico. So far as the alistrnct question of slavery is concerned, I regard it, morally, politically, socially, and religiously as a great and inexcusable evil ; and I utterly repudiate any code of morals, that concedes to one man the right to hold his fellowman, as a mere chattle. in "ny manner either by direct action, or a f.til ure to act, permit it to continue m tnose territo ries. Any power, which Congress possenses 011 this suhiect . must be derived from the constitulegislation conferred on Congress are of two kinds: 1st. There is a spec ific enumeration of . J .' ' . , ' . " . exercise its legislative control. 2d. It is providedf iat Coilgr,,9 8il!tu aVe the power to pass a laws, necessary and proper to carry out the enumerated grants of power: all other "powers l granted, or reserved to the States respeetively, and to the people," that is to the people in their individual capacity. If this position be a true one, and there are few men who will venture to deny its correctness, how can any man assert the power of Congress to establish slave- ! r' ? The right to do so, is not found among the irranis 01 power uouierreii upon uiai nou , ami b . . ' .... - r r. 1 .1... I... 1 most certainly no man will contend, that Conj ress 8hou(j or cai create .avorv j 19 WTri. tories, because such legislation would be necessary ! and proper in order to carry out any power, th;t ; directly conierred on congress But should Congress iu the exercise of its power prohibit the introduction of slavery inio the territories? To this question, I answer most undoubtedly it should. At the time of the admission of the State of Missouri into the Union, it was provided by an act of Congress, commonly known as the Minsouri Compromise, that no Slave States formed out of territory lying north of 36 deg. and 30 min., should be admitted .that the then territories of Arkansas, and Florida should ', be admitted, as slaveholding States. Acting upj this tacit understanding the citizens of free "tales forbore to offer any opposition to the application of those territories, when they sought t .... . , , I tn Iia nnmif fAii fifff At InA t i in a fit th Compromise, it was understood by all men, that I . ... . . , there could be no more slave states bes.de those two; for south of 36 deg. 30 min. , there was. no , totne men umu, oi t..e l n.on. i There is another class of reasons, why Congress should exercise its prohibitory power.

-attention of the Dro:iU has scarcely been directed. lexis was annexed to tlie t i.ion a a . .1 . stavt-holdiug state. The question of slavery in the ?tate of Texas isone beyond the control of Congress an.i'of the people. But the extent and boundaries of the state were, at (he time of the annexation, ami yet are, unsettled. The Whigs contended, 'and 111 this opinion, they were sustained by Col. Benton,) that Texas extended westward uo farther than the Nueces River: and northward to the southern boundary of New Mexico, as located by the Mexican Congrrss. On the contrary, Texas contended that the Kio If.randt, was her Hl,rn boumiarv. ami tliat the urnvitirf.

' How my Hemocralic competitors will disjms-' of this question I cannot conceive. Mr Beurd and Mr. t'.liler at leat-t, contended zealously, that in the.ittack ! tlie .Mexicans upon lurl Jsrown, which was upon the Kio Grande, 'American blood was shed upon American soil . " Of course ihen they must contend (and they have so con- , tended on all occasions) that the territory between the Kio Grande and Nueces is within the limits of Texas. I f llieij they slii I con te tid , that Tex is extends to the Kio G ramie, and yet ple.'ge themselves to favor an act of Congress confining slavery to that portion of the State which lies east of the Nueces, they pi ti e themselves in the awkward dilemma, of men iis'uing Coir-ss to interfere with the institution of slavery, with in the known anddeti ied limits of a sovereign state, a uoctrine which all opponents of slavery repudiate. lam iu favor of the immediate abolition of slavery, and the slave trade in the litrict of Columbia, for I regard it as a disgrace ution our character as a people, and as a strain upon our national escutcheon, that the Capital of a nation prolesscd! v free, should be the great slave mart of the U 111011 . One thing more on the sublect of slavery, ami the relations growing out of it, and 1 shall close this portion of my adiiress. Article l.Sec. 'J, of tlie Constitution of the U. S. declares that, The migration or import. ition of such persons, as any ol the Stales now existing shall think proper to admit, shall not he prohibited bv the Congress, prior to the ear 1HIJ." Under this clause Congress was restrained from preventing the slave trade till the time specified had trans pi red When that time arrived, the foreign slave tra.ie was declared Piracy, punishable with death, tended to apply to the domestic, as well as the foreign slave trade; aud although forty-one years have elapsed since f.'ongress had full power over the whole suhiect, vet tlie slave trade between the States is slil I suffered to exist with ail its attendant atrocities and nameless horrors. It is a constant and standing reproach upon us as a christian people, a living proof, that our practice is at variance with our professed love of freedom, and it should at once be intredicted. The question of Laud Reform is one to which ! : M dir.e.e.l for ve., I, in common wilh other whigs, have been an ! odvucateot the distribution of the proceeds c. f ! the sales of the public lauds, among the several States; the propriety of that course ol policy is no longer in issue lieiore me people, ami l nope to see Congress p iss u law bestowing the public l-iid, it ttuiitvii quantities upon actual settlers; the settlers defraying the cost of surveys, and all other actual expenses. These lands aro the common property of the citizens of the U niou ; the government noes not require them as a source j of revenue, and they should not be held fur the ; benefit of those w ho choose to purchase quantities for speculation. The last legislature passed an act permitting the people to vote at the next annual election, ! in favor or against calling a convention to amend i our present State Constitution. I believe that our constitution should be so amended, as to render the Supreme Judges, the Auditor, Treasurer, and Secretary of State, elective by the people of the w hole State; and the Circuit Judges by the citizens of the respective counties. It must be apparent to all persons, who have bestowed any ttttentmn upon the subject, that our laws are unstable and uncertain; in the creat mass of legislation, which has been inflicted upou us, it could not beolherwise; we can easily remedy the evil by providing for biennial sessions of the legislature.

R ickiicip, !., July 23, To lite Voter a Wayne County: Mttmrs. Editors, The public impression in regard to my opinions is believed to be correct; but to avoid any misunderstanding, I should be pleased to have you give this an insertion in your paper. Slavery is a moral and political evil, and Congress onjht fo rid itself of its responsibility. I believe that Congress possess the power to prohibit its extension, and to abolish it in the District of Columbia, and that these powers ought to be eercied . If elected to the legislature, I will vote to instruct our Senaters in Congress to vote far a law similar to the Orcinaace of 17;7. forever

I will also vote for the repeal of the black laws of this Stat-, and will use my influence for the accomplishment of l!n-e just objects. Unless a man feels ail interest iu their accomplishment, a rrluctuut vote for them, given 011 account of a mere plei'ge to obtain voles at the electiou, will
