To the Voters or the State Of
-t Missouri -THstT5-,

many OF my friends to become candidate iot
Congress to Gil the vacancy occasioned by tho
resignation Of the Hon. Sterling Price. have
yielded to their solicitations. Ia presenting my
self before you, and asking your suffrages iot
an important Office, il becomes my duty to mako
short exposition OF my views on the most impor.
snt topics that agitale and interest the country a.
this time. ..
| am one Of those who believe that Congress
has the constitutional power 10 regulate the COM
merce between the States and with foreign pow
ers, and in carrying out that power has the right
TO make internal improvements Of whatever kind
or character it may deem necessary to increase
facilitate or render more safe the commerce Boz
tween the States. as well as with foreign nations.
And believing that our agricultural interests de.
pend materially upon our commercial advanta-
ges and the safety with which we can send our
products to market and get in exchange such
necessaries as we need, would, consequently, DO
in favor of the River and Harbor Bill that was
passed at the last session Of Congress, and was
vetoed by the President, or any appropriation
having for its object, the Improvement OF our
Western Rivers or Harbors .
am in favor OF Tariff sufficiently high to
raise revenue enough to support the Government
economically administered, TO be levied in such
way as 10 afford protection TO American industry,
in preference to the pauper labor Of Europe.
A Western man by birth and education and for
more than seventeen years citizen Of Missouri.
can claim to have some knowledge Of the
wants OF the people OF the West and more
especially those of Missouri. Should be hon.
ored with your choice, those interests will com.
mand my most hearty and earnest support.
If elected would be in favor Of affordins The
Government every facility to prosecute the exist
ing war with Mexico, with vgor so as to secure
an honorable peace at the earliest day practicable
In short, Fellow. Citizens, am wing, and in
favor of Wing principles rs generally understood
and advocated by the Wing party, believing
those principles the most salutary and the best
calculated 10 promote the interests OF the coun.
try. Entertaining those principles | respectfully
submit my claims TO your sufffages, and pledge
myself in the event Of my election to use all
honorable means TO promote your interests and
welfare.

FOREIGN NEws.-The "Hibernia" ar.
rived at Boston on the 10th ult., bringing
seven days later news than the cambria"
The news by the latter will be found in de.
tail in to.day's paper. We make the fol-
lowing extracts from our exchanges, 10

The Baltimore Sun of Monday says:
The news by the Hibernia was received too
late on Saturday afternoon to ascertain its proba.
BILE effect on the markets.. The probability is
however. that the prices Of last week will DO
fully maintained, with an advance in corn, un-
less private letters should not warrant the &C.
counts published,
The New York Express of Saturday
says:
The news has made quite sensation 10 the
flour market. Holders Of flour feel as If the
news from the continent would sustain markets;
sellers, however, are willing TO meet buyers; and
about 500 bbls. Of Genesee and Michigan have
been sold at SIS 62a, and smaller parcels shade
higher.
In consequence Of the further advance in Liv.
erpool most the holders put up the price Of corn
10 IS cents; there are no buyers over S0c. Pri.
ces may be quoted at Is to SOC. Wheat is
without change.
Holders Of cotton anticipated the rise in Liv.
erpool and are not disappointed. The marke,

The New York Journal of Commerce
also says:
We hear OF no sales OF grain for shipment.

more frmness on the part OF holders. Sales,

NMr. George Burris, thrifty farmer
of Franklin township, in this county, raised
from five acres of ground, two hundred and
sixty-four bushels of good Wheat, weigh
ing 63s lbs. to the bushel. This is a little
the largest yield we heard of being raised
from five acres, and don't believe it can
be beat. Who says it can!
A correspondent of the New York Mir.
ror, in writing from England, thus speaks
of ELInU BURRrrT:
EIihu Burritt, the learned blacksmith, is hero
distributing receipts for cooking Indian meal.
| have not seen him, bu! learn that he passed
through this county last week with knapsack
on his back, on foot. Great curiosity is mani.
tested 10 see him.
