In some places they have made inroad8 on the fields of wheat, but as they gonerally prefer grass to whcat, the latter erop will not bc niaterially diminished.EFThe Detroit Advcrtiser has a notice of a letter of John Norvell to certain friends in Marshall, in which he e.tpresses a hope that should the bilí before Congress for el ;cting representatives by single distriets bccomealaw, "the States will trcat it as a nullity, and trampíe it under their feet." Should thc legislatare not be convened, Mr. Norvell recommends an election by general ticket in open violation of íaw. So saya the Advertiser.

The presses of that party from the Globe downwards, have teemed with obloquy and abuse. Much of this abuse has doubtless been owing to their ig. norance of our principies. Their zeal has not been according to knowledge. A more intímate acquaintance will greatly modify their views. An instance of this occurred at the Anti-Slavery Anniversary in Ohio. The editor of the Banner, of Mount Vernon, a Democratie paper, says of a speech of Dr. Bailey,that i(rt advanced and defended principies that every demoerat in the country professes to be govenied by." Of the resohuions of the Liberty Convention be says, "they will be found to contain most of the doetrincB and principias advanced and maintaincd Inj devwerats of old and modern schools. Strip them of their abolition taint and they arr the very essence of democracy. We dont wonder at federalisis opposing the political organization of ihe abolitionists, for iflhe abolilionistsshould remain true to their principies the days of whiggery are numbered."A friend in this State writes usf "We had yesterday, at our church and Sabbath school, eleven refugees front contentment and happinese."

It is too Jate in the day to practice that game on abolitionista . Cabinism - new version. - The following from the Ohio State Journal, will reraind our readers of 'auld lang syne,' as newly vamped over for modern U6e.
