We make single extract from the prosnec-
tus touching the presidential question:
1T is unnecessary, at this time, to saw who
should be the candidate of the republican
party for the next Presidency. but 1t is essen
'lal that no time should be lost in showing
who should not be the man We stand on
'he crater OF volcano, and on the result of
the next election our national safety de-
Pends. We must have peace in our domicils
mo man must be permitted to intrigue him
sell INTO that station. The office must mot
be sought 5or;' and public services, high and
commanding talents, enlarged views of pub
tic policy, settled and well known opinions
on cardinal points, general and acknowledge
cd popularity. must be the passports to that
nigh and important trust, instead of manage
ment and the mere force of party discipline.'
We regret that good MANY of the eastern
cotton manufactures have 'sshut down their
gates" IN consequence of the high price of
cotton, and yet comparatively low price of
cotton goods-whereby many persons are
thrown out of employment-Niles.
Very well-let the rejected laborors come
to Illinois. Here is plenty of room for regi-
ments of men, and ''miles Of girls" and ia
vorable chances for entering into business
without the fear of being "thrown out of en-
lPloyment," while the price of sunshine and
ram does not depend on Congress-. Fifty

days labor, with the assistance of neighbors,
always freely granted, will erect cabin as
comfortable at least as ''factory" By mo-

OF twenty bushels of corn to the acre the

eighty acre purchase. as suits his conven-
fence, extend his fields, and increase his
stock at pleasure. If our eastern fellow
citizens do not credit our tale, let them come
and see for themselves; but come without
any preconceved notions about the s:great
west" or any particular section of it. Emf
grants from the east or from the south can
have no correct ideas about the country till
they see it. They may send out agents,
read, write, talk with travellers, &c. &c. and
avail themselves of the most correct data
possible short Of actual observation, still thew
will find that'their notions about either coun-
try or people are very-wide of the truth, and
will subject them to many disappointments.
