GarAr WEsTERN-The trip before last
of the Western from Chicago to Buffalo was
made, we are told, in days and 20 hours,
being the best time yet made. She took
from here, a number of our citizens and bu-
siness men, who speak in warm terms of her
excellence in every department, and recon-
mend her TO the travelling public. The crow
ded decks and heavy fieighis OF the Western
every trip she makes, is the best eulogy both
of the boat and her officers

Got his Deserts-A fellow assaulted a
lady IN Cincinnati on the Sd inst, and she,
in the genuine spirit of insulted woman
hood, applied cowhide TO his back not
less than one hundred times, he begging

mercy for him. She then had him taken
before the Mayor, when he was required
10 give bail and to keep the peace.

We find many who think that party. where
we have no voice in the affairs of the Gene
raj Government, is not of importance. We
think differently. There is no position IN
which we may not exercise some influence.
Mind acts in mass. Like the electric COM
munication, the sympaih'es OF mind act upon
and are influenced by each other throughout
the whole Union, indeed, throughout the
whole world. By the silent operation of
our beautiful and free government, we ex-
pect TO do much in freeing the world from
the shackles of slavery which hang round it,
so shall we by the position we take and the
principles we embrace here, exert some in
huence in establishing and sustaining those
principles, in the government. We cannot
90 into Congress and vote against tariff,
and Bank-but if we are opposed to those
measures let us make il manifest. We help
TO swell the aggregate ofpublic opinion, and
an expression will have its proportionate in
fluence. We have mainly an agricultural
people. 1t is the tilers of the soil-the
truly producers, IN society, on whom we
contend that the evil of these measures
most directly falls. Will it not be some
thing if the Wings of the Union can say that
the agrculturists of Wisconsin favor the Ia
riff and Bank project. viii il not tend to
establish these measures. Should the wings
be successful in the coming contest the
whole Union will be told that the voice of
Wisconsin is raised in favor of Henry Clay,
and we do so much towards the establish
ment of his obnoxious measures. We have
influence, and which ever side we belong
to, with honesty of purpose, let us adhere
to it, and let us lend our influence and cast
our vote accordingly. Let no man be
swayed by personal predictions, in the be-
lief that party is unimportant and we can
affect nothing, for it is wrong and danger

We had moments converse, recently
with gentleman who has been east pur.
chasing goods. On enquiring into the con-
dition of business, he remarked to us, that
he found the prices of almost every article
he wished to purchase run up, whilst pro-
duce IF all kinds is low Such is the fact.
The farmers must make up their minds Ell
Their to 60 without many articles of common
use which they have been in the habit OF
purchasing, or pay high price for the same,
and they must make up their minds, too, to
receive low price for their produce-a
price to correspond with the quantity in mar
ket.
We have few manufacturers to furnish
goods for the whole country. BY prevent
ing importation, they can get orders for
goods to keep their mills running night and
day. Congress has regulated the price at
which foreign goods shall come in, and as
among our few manufacturers there can be
no competition, because there is ample de.
mand for all they make, they can and do
keep up the price to the standard estab-
lished. Thus il. is;- Congress declares by
means of tariff, the price which the farmer
shall pay for nearly every thing he wears
and uses; but when it comes to disposing of
his products, he must take just what the
competition will allow him, We believe
the market should be free, but we do not
like to see the most numerous and useful
class of society, taxed heavily to sustain a
few, without any corresponding benefit to
themselves. What do you think, farmers?
