all along confidently anticipated that the par
ty styling themselves Liberty men" has ar

by the leaders during the last Presidential
canvass, and which secured the triumph of
the Slaveocracy, is fast bringing third party

conscientious men. Fo- what could have

that they virtually voted for Slavery, allho'

But we reJolce 10 INA iaat Inc people are

"Tho prospect for wheat in this country is very
favorable. hear all the farmers say they have
never seen more wheat growing or look better, and
if their expectations should not be marred, there
will be sufficient flour manufactured here TO sup
ply all the Arkansas river District. The last
years freshst has produced much good in stImu-
lating the farmers to greater exertion and ldIers
are nowhere to be found. Want will correct bad
