Yrs AND DowNs.-But few weeks since and
most OF the agricultural products of The 'ry
bore an exceeding high price, aud there was n
good deal of grunibling among The non producers
because the farmer got pretty well puid for his la
bor There was even press for almost every
commodity the agriculturist ased, with the ex-
ceplion OF wool. Now every thing is flat very
low prices comparatively and no market for
any thing in the produce line, only what is
necessary for immediate consumption. Manu-
features aud mechanics doing business on small
ses. No market, nor no sale of clOths and fac
tories, it is said are curtailing and stopping in
many places. The mechanics, likewise can turn
nothing into money, collect nothing. aud hence
can pay nohng-and when little involved, un-
less they stand strong, they are pounced upon ty
the merciless creditor and broken up in business
How long this unhappy state of things will last,
is exceedingly doubtful. The whole country for
n long time has been sorely afflicted with these
sudden ups and doUns, and ruinous fluctuations
in every Thing pertaining to business.
Now we appeal to every candid reader, of all
parties, whether it was in the days of Jefferson,
Madison, Munroe, and the younger Adams, when
the wings constituted the crew OF the great nation.

helm? If the answer is in the negative and we
are sure it must be, why not try the old cre,c,
statesman, and helsman again? Times cannot he
worse and they may be better. Nobody will
suffer by the change but the Office holders, and
they have been nursed great while, (about twelve
years. long enough we should think to be WeGn-

THE CONSERVATIVES

IL is curious ut the same time il is melancholy
to see how much more violent and proscriptive the
Loco Foco party ARE towards the Conservatives
than towards the oil Wing party proper Be-
cause a portion OF the original Jackson men re-
main true to the principles which they protested
in 1879 because they have refused to charge
their principles like the colors of a morley coal mt
the will OF their would be masters--because they
have commended that the interests of the country
III their estimation were paramount to those of a
partv they have been assailed by every epthet of
obloquy winch vehal party press could COM
mand. MOI only has The battery of the press
been opened upon them, but at every party eau
cur gathering or convention they have been de-
nounced and sguatised their characters assail-
ed their motives mpugned 81 every conceivable
artiice resorted to to render them odous both use
individuals and public men. We doubt whether
SO outrageous di instance Of political persecution
can be found in the history of this Government
and all because they refused to yield up their
right Of private judgment ana become the pimps
and pandcrs to Federal power and Executive ra-
price! But thanks to the principles of Jefferson
ian Republicansm, the nnnthemas of subsidized
press aud all the terrors Of the party scourge uni
ted, have been unable to drive the fearless band
Of Conservatives from the patriotic stand they had
taken. Firm, honest and consistent, they have
Kept strait OF in the path Of duty, aud there we
trust they will remain, until III shall have puri-
fed, slmplllied and reformed the Government uu-
der which they live, which, with all its present
abuses and corrnptions, they must ever love and
