The MARAUDING ExPEEITioN.-The
New Era Of the 9Th, says: Let
tiers have been received in this city
from TIE Fort Leavenworth Indian
Agency, which confirm Ii previous
intelligence in relation TO the depart
ure of a band Of men with the in'en-
ton Of meeting and robhing the San.
IA Fe Traders on their return expe.
di'ion Ills spring. They had moved
from various points along the from,
tier, intending TO effect q c~oncentra-
ton Of their forces AT the place ar
pointed for that purpose. Mai. Cum
mings the Indian Agent, on learning
these facts made n requiSilion on the
commanding officer at Fort Lcavcn-
worth, for military aid 10 pursue and
capture the marauders, but rs no or
ders had been received at that time,
to afford assistance Of this kind, the
request was declined.
Aday or two afterwards. however.
Col. Kearney's orders were received,
and a force Immediately detailed for
this purpose. 1t is said, that the rob
berS had then three days start Of the
detachment Of troops and it was
questionable whether they could be
o~vertaken. The military we're fur
nished with only seven days provis-
ons-a supply likely TO be exhausted
before they could possibly accom-
plish their object in arrcsting the
men engaged in this lawless expedi-
ton.

We have cheering accounts from eve
" quarter, Of renewed activity in bust
ness. We notice a slight advance in The
prices Of tobacco and wheat in the St
Louis market, during the past week
There was but little wheat offered at for
mer pricesa and this most likely, has aus
ed the advance. Wheat now stands at
4S and SOC. The prices of tobacco are
still tending upwards. The receipts
have as yet been small, and transactions
consequently on a limited scale. Price:
range from So to $4,75 and upwards.
Freights to New-Orleans are at pre-
sent unusually high, ranging from So t'
Sc per HID, on tobacco. This is proba'
bly, however in consequence Of the large
amount of shipping at the present time
The usual price we understand, is 81 pc
hid and other freight in proportion.
We advise our friends TO hold on Il
their tobacco and wheat for the present
if SO be they can, and they will most GER
tainly get better prices. We are lead It
this opinion by the most favorable indi
cations from every quarter.

We invite attention to Mr.. Budd's
Circular on the -four and grain market
in to-day's paper. Mr.. B. has address
ed US, asking for information respecting
the prospect of the present growing
wheat crop in this section Of the state.
1t is his intention we believe 10 issue a
circular on the lst. ofMay, On the ''pros-
pect of the present growing crop" and
TO this end he has addressed circulars of
inquiry to all The grain growing states
ofthe Union, and to their several sac
tons, for the purpose of obtaining data
on which the public may rely with con-
fidcnc.
Mr.. B. speaks thus ofthe prospect in
IIlinosi:-"I am now on a tour through
the middle counties of this state, and |
find the grain has been seriously injured
By the constant succession of thawrng
and freezing which has characterized the
present winter"
The same causes have produced SINH
lar results in this state; and we arc told
that the present growing crop in this Sec
ton, will fall al least seventy-five per
cent below the amount Of last years
crop. We shall publish the circular of
Mr.. Budd as soon as it appears.

AN OBSER WALTON.

The sea Of politics is as liable TO stornsas
any other sea- and il is as necessary for the sem
tnels Of parties 10 scan the elements all round
occasionally. as il is for those who watch on
board Of ships ever aud anon 10 glance round
the horizon.
From all that we can hear or see at the present
juncture, we are decidedly of the opinion that the
safest position is that nearest 10 The People
Party leaders and party machinery in tempestu-
GUS times-and we have long been impressed
with the belief that the session Of Congress
near at hand would be stormy--are liable to suf-
fer great damage, and even demolition, while
the PEoPLE always afford safe harborage.
Mr. Tyler cast his lot among the People
when he put his veto on measure which his
conscience could never approve. BY such an
act, he knew very well beforehand he would be
hurled out of the ranks of victorious party, of
which he was substantially the head. This sa-
crifce was made for the People, and whatever
disposition they may be pleased to make OF him,
he will submit without mumur. They may
crush him if they see proper: but they cannon
deprive him of the proud satisfaction Of having
saved them from the curse Of National Bank.
Bargain and corruption" may, it is true, erect
a moneyed monster after his term Of service
expires; but nevertheless he can at all events
reflect that he postponed The evil four years.
Those who have stood by and sustained the
President so far, will, we doubt not, stand firm
to the last: and if they do this they will be safe
from the tyranny of party leaders, for their posi-
ton will be on the side of the People. But to
maintain their position with credit to them
selves, and honor to the President, they must
be united-whether many or few-and resolved
to " ask nothing but what is right, and submit
to nothing that is wrong" Let them maintain
the justice of their cause by repelling unjust as
sauts, whether they come from Mr.. Clay, in
the shape OF abusive letters, or from the Globe,
IN the form of barefaced Misrepresentation. II
they are RIGHT, let them fear nothing if
they be in a minority; for, bling in the right,
those who assal them on either hand, must ne
cessarily be in the prong. and the People will
defend he right, sooner or later. In our coun-
try the People are the Sovereigns.

THE NEXT PRESIDENT.

A disposition 10 harmoniZe, and unite earnestly in
support OF the candidate of the party, whoever he
may be, is becoming daily more aud more manifest
so far as can judge from the tone of the Demo-
cratic papers throughout the Union. The feeling
should be cultivated by every welwsher to his coun-
try for the result of the next Presidential election
will decide the question, whether the present prospe-
rous and healthy condition Of the country is 10 con-
tinue, or whether to be subjected TO Wing
msrule and the curse Of a National Bank.
No true DemocTat-no real friend to his country
who seriously reflects upon the present condition Of
things, can hesitate TO admit that the safety Of the
country essentially depends upon the union and bar
mony Of the Democratic party in the coming contest
Then why allow questions OF minor importance to
agitae and distract u.s. engender beart-burnings and
perhaps lead TO ultimate defeat The triumph Of our
principles should be the paramount object Of ALL and
should be endangered by selfish considerations
blind attachment TO the political fortunes Of this
or that
To President Tyler the Democratic party owe
deep debt Of gratitude His consistent adherence TO
principle II cannot be denied, has saved the party
from the apprehended consequences Of the defeat OF
1910. His measures are the best evidences Of his at
tachment TO Jefersonan principles, and present the
strongest claims 10 the support Of the Democracy.
The result Of the recent elections and particu-
larly Of that held on Tuesday in New York, proves
concusveiy TO our minds the absolute necessity Of
selecting for our candidate that only who can
unite the entire strength Of the Democratic party
East and West, North and South.
Il is folly to contend, that there was any aban-
donment Of principle on the part Of Mr. Tyler IN ac-
cedng TO the wishes Of the conservative portion
Of the Democratic party, whose candidate he
was IN 1870. Thousands Of Democrats besides
Mr.. Tyler, condemned of the prominent
measures Of Mr. Vau Burens Administration, and
desired a change. These measures had engen-
dered hesitation doubt, and alienation, in the
minds Of many, who were nevertheless, uncompro-
msingly hostile TO a National Bank and they sup
ported Mr.. Tyler, because they conscientously be-
lieyed that they were acting for the good Of the cOun
try. They ATE still in favor Of Democratic measures
aud Democratic men and every attempt TO prescribe
or denounco them, from what ever source It may
cInanate, should be promptly discountensnced.
There are many reasons, Independent Of the debt
Of gratitude due 10 him, which might be urged in ia
Of President TyleI's nomination by the Demo
cratic party, To these we shall refer hereafter
Our present object simply to condemn the head
strong collisions Of belonging proiessedy to the
same political brotherhood The tendency Of such
collisions should be well weighed by those who re-
gard the permanent asccudency Of Republican princi
pics.
