THE GAMEpLAYED SUCCESSFULLY.

At the outset of the political campaign, in this
State, we warned the farmers that the Banks were
playing a wicked game upon them. We have
warned them of the same fact again and again, but
to no effect, it would seem.
Now mark the result Go out into the county
and endeavor to purchase WOOL and You can hard
ly find pound, What has become of it all 1t
has gone where we told the people week after
week that it was going 1t has gone into the hands
of spectators. The cry of hard times and the
scarcity of money was raised by these spectators
under the cover of which to purchase the wool of
the farmer at a low price; and we are sorry to say
they have succeeded completely. They have kept
their runners silly securing every corner of the
State, crying hard times, and dealing out to the
farmers the smallest possible plance for their wool,
till they have drained the State. All this time the
great manufacturing establishments in Lowell and
other places, have been in active and strained
operation day and night Runners have been sent
out into the country to procure hands at premium,
if they could not be procured otherwise. Every
thing has been done admirably and with skill
worthy of a better cause.
viii some of our good farmers tell us where
these spectators have obtained their money to pur-
chase so much wool! They have declared, over
and over again, that there was no money in the
country-that the Administration Ind destroyed it
all, and yet more than million has been obtained
from some source to purchase WOOL and sheep aud
cattle in the state Where did it come hom .
Out of the banks These spectators who have had
the control of the banks have had all the money
they have wanted. They have not appeared open
ly in the field themselves, is true. But they have
kept their runners out. Men, who all the country
know ARE not able to pay their debts have had com
mnnd of five, ten and fifteen thousand dollars with
which to purchase wool. Where did they get it
| Now, after the election is over, we canddly ap-
peal to the farmers, ifthesc men who have been so
mdustriously crying hard times, have had no OBJ
icct in doing so, rather than the election of Gen.
Harrison to the Presidency They have made
thousands and thousands of dollars, us they inten-
dcd to do, out of the false impression they have got
up that the times are hard They are making thou
sands still, and they will make thousands more
Their stock in trade has been the ignorance and
gullibiity ofthc people, and they have made fine
little sum out oft, and will make moro. We have
shown the farmers time and again, that they were
never better off in their lives, and that they were
the tools Of spectators. We have received in pay
their deep curses, the continued and vipcrous abuse
of the spectators, and the approval of our own
conscience We trust still to the virtue and intel
ligence Of the people. They will right themselves.

OHIO COMING!

The people Of Ohio are sickening at the hard
cider, coon skin and log cabin farce, which is acted
in that State. They are beginning to look seriously
at the risk of electing the "good humored but gar
rulous and weak old man. as they call General
HARRISON who will be ruled by Henry Clay and
Daniel Webster. And our friends are every

nothing is TO be received in payment OF conn'

the bank of Missouri.
Now why, | ask, is this sub-treasury sys'
TEN so rigidly enforced in the collection OF the
county revenue in "Old Piker" Is it for the
benefit of the lear people, or is it for the be-
nefit of the despised 'ofice holders" OF the
county? enquire simply for information IN
reference to this matter Of public interest,"
Every one knows that the notes ol the banR
of Missouri, form a very inconslderaole Por
ton of the circulating medium OF the county
And it is equally as well known that the
notes of the banks Of Indiana and Illinois,
constitute much the greater portion OF the
currency in circulation in the county. and
is received bv the merchants and others, as
the standard value of the various articles oil
trade throughout the county. Why then, Is
this general circulating medium in the county
refused in payment of taxes due for county
purposes, when it is received at par udfHe IN
payment of all individual contracts! There
is but one conclusion TO which every UMPIRE
JUDGED mind whether wing or Democrat)
must come touching the matter in question.
1t will be recollected how bitterly the
measure which was proposed by the Demo-
cratic members of the last Missouri legisla-
ture to drive from the state this 'baSer cur
rency,' was opposed by these same wing Of
flee holders Of "Old Pike" who now refuse
to receive it in payment Of the county reve-
nue. while it is still received at pr in pay
ment of all individual contracts. 40, consiS-

DEAR SR:-Mr. Ha.ns Smith opened the
business Of the day with a resolution calling
on the Auditor for information n the amount,

marked that there was great lack of iiniorma-
ton on this subject amongst the people, h1ugh
it was Of the very highest importance that
the people should know how far they had
gone into debt. Papers had been received
last night which indicated that Harrison was
elected President of the United States. He
Mr.. Smith had documents in his possession
which tended to prove how that result had
been accomplished. Foreign money had
been employed without stint. And he was
