We have received tho first number of the
Monthly Gennessce Farmer. This is another
added to tho list of our excellent and cheap Agri-

our advertisements. We are compelled to omit
the table of contents this week for want ofrops,,
but shall publish it in our next.
! We'have received, through tho Post Office, an
ANONYMOUS communication front one of our ''pa-
trons," requesting us to announce public meet
! ing of tho citizens Of the town and vicinity On
Wednesday evening. Though disposed to accom-
modal. our patrons we cannot make such an
nouncements without some responsible authority.

1t will bc seen by tho documents accompa-
n mo the Presidents especial message" that an
overture was made by the French Government

that the communication could not be used with
propriety in any way because it would not be an
swcrcd. Mr.. Forsyth could not answer it by ad-

could he address the French Minister, Mr.. For
syth however, it will be seen, offered to lay the
substance of the paper before the President, if Mr..
Pagcot would communicate it in letter to him.

toe President in this particular. Tho paper has
been published, and is Of conciliatory tone, but
takes ground to which the American Government

Vim. Mears, Col. Polk, and Gen. Dudley have
al bcen named as candidates Of the Anti-qan

SO too, or Gen. Dudley from the same quarter OF
the State would not have been publicly inen-
toned.
