lean that In conjunction with Mr.. Blair, MT. |
Rives proposes publishing next winter daily
Congressional, agricultural, and miscellaneous
newspaper, steering clear OF politics. except IN SO
tar % they may be comprehended In the daiiv re-
ports Of the proceedings OF Congress. Both
these ex-officsls have turned farmers-each
having purchased and located on tract
IN the neighboIhood of Washington, a species
OF soil which affords the most ample margin
for the AT of Improvement. Mr.. Blalr's place,
some miles To the north of Washington, is
called Silver Spring, and embraces some three
hundred acres OF land, IN promising state o. I'm,
provement and establishment. (For descrlPtieh
OF which the reader will Please turn over tnc
Union and see Father Rtchie's journal OF a VISIT
one fine morning) The country seat OF mr.. hNe e.
Is within gun-shot Of the duelhng grouho, a.
Bladensbuieh; il comprehends about ior'y acres
of land, and reoices IN the significant appellative
Of" Kildee hill" Such are the two late thunder
ers OF the ext cuve oracle. Politically, their time
OF day seems 10 have gone-py. p Az 'na' we can
soier" and Rives is a " sub soIler > but whether
free soil" or sub soi Is TO take the precedence
in the new paper, has yet 10 be told. We suppose,
that if Mr. Van Buren, is elected, free soll' will
be the ruling doctrine and that If Gen. Cass
should run III, " sub-soil" will be the word. We
shall have frequent essays on guano, turniPtops,
the potato-rot and " sub soihng but " tree soiP'
will be out OF the question unless Mr. Van Buren,
is elected.
On the main question of the prospects of the
campaign in PenDsy lvania, we suspect the free
soil movement will not materially weaken the
relative strength of either side in the Presidential
upon the merits of Cass VS.. Taylor, politically and
personally. The ''free soilers' will perhaps draw
largely from the wing Quakers and abolitionIsts,
as from barnbuneIs among the democrats II
there appeared even small prospect of throwing
the election into the House, then the Stree soil''
movement would be most formidable enemy to
the democrats in Penpsy vania. But the contest
has narrowed down to this that where a wing
"a r.
IS halt vote tor Cass and the rule Will equally
apply on the other side, that where democrat
votes the Buffalo ticket, he gives half vote to
Taylor.
The wings expect TO run within four or five
thousand of Longstreth in the October election
and they estimate that the relative popularity of
Johnson and Tay Tor will give at least five thou
sand wing Increase In support OF the latter over
the vote OF Johnson according to which, If
LoDgstreth is elected by only four or five thou
sand majority, the Taylor men ready TO bet
upon their candidate and the State IN the Novem.
Der trial. Our own impression Is, that Longstreth
will carry the State by ten thousand, and that
vigorous prosecution OF the free soil movement in
Pennsylvania, among the democratic barnburners.
is the only expedient by which the State can be
secured to General Taylor
The October election IN Ohio will not be so fair
test as to the strength of Cass and Taylor in that
State. The Wing candidate there tor Governor
is "Free Soil'' man. The political life of the
democratic candidate has been strongly devoted
expect Weller Io.be defeated 1t is well known that
the body OF the supporters OF the Free Soil"
Presidential ticket in Ohio are drawn from the
Wing ranks.
When we can arrive at anything like reliable
information regarding the "Free Soll'' strength
In this State and the direction and energy of the
movement, then we shall be better enabled to cal
culate upon the issue between Cass and Taylor
At present we believe that Cass Is neck ahead.
We leave for the interior tonight.
