The Weather—Crops, &c.—Thus far we
jve had the hottest summer which has ever
*en experienced in this portion of country,
or five weeks, up to the 28th ult., no rain
ad fallen, at least not sufficient to save the
irly corn from serious injury. The rains a
week since have been a great benefit to late
Scorn and the cotton crop. The prospect of
an extra crop of any kind has been pretty
Anurh dissipated west of White river, but our
Kriends on the East side say that their proj
ects were never finer, especially as regards
jcottun.
LFrom Eastern and North-Eastern Texas,
e learn that crops of every description have
been burnt up, no rain having fallen for
months past.
If In Alabama and Georgia the corn crop is
iaid to be an absolute failure.
1 The North-Eastern portion of Mississippi
Jias also been visited with an unprecedented
fjirouth, and there are thousands of acres of
orn that will not make a peck to the acre,
ears are entertained of extreme suffering for
read in Eastern and North-Eastern Texas,
ilabama, Georgia and portions of Missis
ippi.
From all we can glean from our exchanges,
She evidence is plain that Arkansas, although
.suffering to a great extent from the recent
drouth, will be enabled to raise her own
jbread and some to spare, to say nothing of the
Iotton crop, which will be, at least, an aver
se one.

11 foreign firm in New York, for account

BRECKINRIDGE vs. DOUGLAS.
Douglas and Breckinridge are a long
way apart upon the Territorial issues We
place in juxtaposition extracts from Doug
las’ Freeport speech in December last.
They need no comment:
EXTRACT FROM DOUGLAS' FREEPORT
SPEECH.
!Lincoln’s Speech.-—Can’t the people of the
United States Territories, in any lawful way,
against the wishes of any citizen of the Uni
ted States, exclude slavery from their limits
prior to the formation of a State Constitu
tion ?
Douglas’ Answer.—‘The next question
propounded to me by Mr. Lincoln is, can the
people of a Territory, in any lawful way,
against the wishes of any citizen of the Uni
ted States, exclude slavery from their limits
prior to the formation of a State Constitution?
1 answer emphatically, as Mr. Lincoln has
heard me answer a hundred times, from every
stump in Illinois, that in my opinion the peo
ple of a Territory can, by lawfnl means, ex
clude slavery from their limits prior to the
formation of a Siate Constitution. [Enthusi
astic applause.] Mr. Lincoln knew that I
had answered that question over and over
again. He heard me argue the Nebraska bill
on that principle all over the State in 1854, in*
1855, and in 1856, and he has no excuse for
pretending to be in doubt as to my position on
that question. It matters not what way the Su
preme Court may hereafter decide as to the
abstract question, whether slavery may or
may not go into a Territory under the Consti
tution ; the people have the lawful means to
introduce it or exclude it as they please, for
the reason that slavery cannot exist a day or
an hour anywhere, unless it is supported by
local, police regulations. [Right, right.]—
These police regulations can only be estab
lished by local legislation, and if the people
are opposed to slavery, they will elect repre
sentatives to that body who will, by unfriend
ly legislation, effectually prevent the intro
ducton of it into their midst. If, on the con
trary, they are for it, their legislation will
favor its extension. Hence, no matter what
the decision of the Supreme Court may be on
that abstract question, still the right of the
people to make a slave Territory or a free
Territory is perfect and complete under the
Nebraska bill. I hope Mr. Lincoln deems my
answer satisfactory on that point.
EXTRACT FROM MR. BRECKINRIDGE’S
FRANKFORT SPEECH, LAST DECEM
BER. ,
Mr. Breckinridge has been speaking of
the Dred Scott decision, and continues as
follows :
Well, that being the case, and it having
been authoritatively determined by the very
tribunal to which it was referred, that Con -
gress had no power to exclude slave property
from the Territories, and judicially determ
ined that the Territorial Legislatures—au
thorities created by Congress—had not the
fower to exclude or confiscate slave property,
confess that I had not anticipated that the
doctrine of friendly legislation would be set
up. Hence, 1 need not say to you that I do
not believe in the doctrine of unfriendly leg
islation ; that I do not believe in the authority
of Territorial Legislatures to do by indirection
what they cannot do directly. I repose upon
the decision of the Supreme Court of the Uni
ted States, as to the point that neither Con
gress nor the Territorial Legislature has the
right to obstruct or confiscate the property of
any citizen, slaves included, pending the Ter
ritorial condition. [Applause.]
I do not see any escape frem that decision,
if you admit that the question was a judicial
one, if you admit the decision of the Supreme
Court, and if you stand by the decision of the
highest Court of the country.
—TTle Supreme Court seems to have recogniz
ed it as a duty of the Courts of the Union, in
their proper sphere, to execute this Constitu
tional right, thus adjudicated by the Supreme
Court in the following language. In speak
ing of the acquisition of territory, they pro
nounce it a political question for Congress to
determine what Territories they may acquire,
and how many. Now mark the words of the
Court.
[Here follows a quotation from the de
| cision.]
So that in regard to slave property, as in
regard to any other property recognized and
guaranteed by the Constitution, it is the duty,
according to the Supreme Court, of all the
Courts of the country, to protect and guard it
by their decision whenever the question is
brought before them. To which I only add,
that the judicial decisions in our favor must
be maintained—those judicial decisions must
be sustained. [Applause.]
If present remedies are adequate to sustain
j these decisions, I would have nothing more
done. I with many other public men in the
| country, believe they are adequate. If they
I are not—if they cannot be enforced for the
j want of proper legislation to enforce them,
i sufficient legislation must be passed, or out
, Government is a failure. [Applause ] Gen
tlemen, I see no escapa from that conclusion.
