They are wearing out the carpets and the

oceans of eloquence and pouring in oceans
of ''the critter"-stampng the floor, in the
heat oil political excitement, and stamping
feprOach upon our national character. The

that the good people have such considerate

Lawyer-That true, bur you could buy as
much with that fifteen hundred as you can nov
with double the amount.
Farmor,-Blt they say could not buy co..
fec, tea, or sugar, or any other foreign article,
cheaper Than 10 now.
Lewyer.-That is true; but it is the fault Of
tho foreigners, who love % grind up our poor
people.
Farmer.-Ws,l, YOU say that farms aui la

as now--how would it be with The ollice.holi-

/ NEWTON COUNTY.-GOOD NEWS!!

NEW lON COUN I .-GOOD NEWSuI
The following communication we find in
in the Boonville Observer. 1t is really en-
couraging to hear thus favorably from that
section of the State. But the " Ball is in
motion" and even in the long divided
South we hear its rumbings.
The following representation of the
state of things in the Southwest, is truly
cheering:
Mn. EDIroR:-As the Wing cause is
Frightening in South Western Missouri,
where oco.iocoism has been heretofore
the order of the day, until the last few
months. Since Gen. Harrison's name has
been announced for the Presidency, the
people have awakened up and are prepar-
ing TO give him hearty support.-They
curse Benton's SPECIE nUMBuG and Van
Buren's SuB-TREAsURY.
AS our country is newly settled and the
lands just in and coming in market, and as
many people are emigrating to this country,
they bring what little money they have in
State Bank paper, with the expectation o.
purchasing themselves homes! But alas!
they fild when too late. that nothing will
be received at the Land Office but gold and
silver, and when they 60 to the Land Office,
the Register tells them with very accom-
modating smile, if they will go to "MT SON,
he will let them have the SILVER" and the
Receiver says go to my BRoTnER-IN-LAW and
you can get the sILvER-they go and get it,
but pay from 25 to SO per cent. This mo-
ney the Receiver takes to St. Louis and
gets cash for it at G and per cent. So you
see how it is that Harrison and the L. ).
Bank are gaining friends. We have several
old soldiers among us who served under
Gen. Harrison in the last war, they are
now tottering on their stalls, and their heads
are sivered over by the trosts of many win
ters, yet they live in hopes that they will
see the day when they can give their chieI
a helping hand to the Presidential chair
1t is a qualification to me to hear those old
veterans give young aspiring demagogues
the lie, when they hear them misrepresent
, Gen. Harrison's conduct during the last
war. How they drop their feathers anc
sneak of as though they had been shot al
and not missed From the signs Of thu
times, believe that Gen. Harrison will sc
