A friend from Shiawaseee tends na the followmjr encouraging account: "I send enclosed the doings of our late Convention for this and Clinton Countiea. I with to say a word in re lat ion to our prospecta in this portion of the State. The Convention referred to, was held on the lfllh of June, and was numerously at. tended, by good and true men - men who had counted the cost, before they embarked in the üterprize, and I will venture to say, ihat it wifl compare in point of numbers and intelHgence wtth the politicol parties covering the ame territory. Shiawastet) will do her pit towtrds swellng the fmmber of the Liberty party to ten t hou gand in the State. 1 think this is th number that Br.

Harvesting in thia vicimty has just commenced. What little wheat we have scen ïoofci well; and all accounts that we have eenor heard from the different portions of the State concttr in induerng the belief that the erop wiíl be at least dn average one. The txmket wiH probabiy open low--perhaps at 56 cente, whrich is the prestol pritte for wheat. Thfeshing machines have become so multiplied that a large portion of the wheat erop can be made ready for market before the firat of November, by wbich time it missf be forwarded to insiire its seaeonable arrival in Nw York. Our owiï belief is, ihat buyers will be unwillincr to pay high pnces this Fall, and that the farmers will be disposed to accept of a moderate cómpensation, rather than hold a till Spring. The average price in Ann Arbor du ing the paet year bas not probabJy exceeded 58 or 60 cents; and we have the mpreaaion that those who purchased'at the higfcet prices, 70 or 72 cents, have made hut littl on their investments.
