SENATORIAL CANVASS.

We attended public gather in Mont
teau Township, las, Saturday, to hear the
candidates for the Senate address the peo-
pie.
Mr. Jackson opened the discussion, in
q speech of an hours length. He COM
menced by returning his thanks for the con-
fdence rcposed in him by the citizens of
the county, in times past, and with few
remarks as to his honesty Of purpose in re-
fleeing their will, when known, aud the pu-
rity of his motives in guessing at it, when
not known, he proceeded to apologize for
the abuse of that confidence, particularly
in voting for the act of the last session to
sustain the credit of the State. He was
opposed to that act in toto, and voted for it
under peculiar circumstances. 1t came TO
the House late in the session, and there was
no alternative but to adopt it, or see the
government Of the State suspended for the
want Of means to keep it in operation; the
act was infamous in its character, but he
thought it better to vote for it, under the
circumstances. If elected. he would have
it repealed. He did not, however, consid-
er it more unequal or unjust than our reve-
nue. laws generally. The tavern keeper,
the ferryman and the merchant were oner-
ously taxed. He was opposed to the Ii
cense system, and in favor Of making tax
es equal.
He next undertook to explain the just
ness of distributing the three per cent fund
equally among the counties. This fund
was donated by the general government to
the State for internal improvement purpo-
ses, and he thought one county as likely to
want roads and bridges as another, as the
quantity of territory was about the samel
He spoke few minutes on the subject of
representation next, and endeavored to
show that in reducing Howard, with her
two thousand votes, 10 an equality with
counties having five hundred votes, he had
done the best he possibly could. under the
circumstances. These were all sore sub
jects to Mr.. Jackson, and after few re,
marks on the subject of internal improve.
ments, deprecating the disposition of the
wings TO improve the State, for fear of a
debt. he passed to National Politics, and la
bored very hard TO raise sufficient dust to
envelope State affairs.
Gen. Clark replied. He began with the
revenue law of the last session. and Mr..
Jackson's excuse for voting for il 7, ,yas
to keep the wheels of government from
stopping, that he voted for so unjust law

THE POOR MANS FRIEND.

By far the largest portion of our young
men are poor, and start in the world with
no other capital than their industry. They
look forward to the day when they
will be able, by industry and economy, to
set up shop for themselves, or buy them a
little farm. They hire themselves out for
one, two, or three hundred dollars per an
mum, and by hard work, with rigid econo-
my and loaning out their money as fast as
it is earned, in the course Of three or four
years. are able 10 establish themselves, and
become permanent citizens. If laws are
framed TO protect any class of citizens,
should it not be these? Most assuredy-
What do our laws do for them? In the
first place, they very modestly claim one
per cent on their salary; secondly, after
the money is earned, by the sweat Of the
brow, and loaned out, they make another
draw for onefM Of one per cent. Now
add TO this the poll tax these poor indus.
trious young men pay-contrast the life
they lead with that of the wealthy farmer
or mechanic who hires them: compare their
taxes and see in whose favor the law leans
Does it not bear down with fearful injus.
tice on the poor man?
Who made these laws, fellow.ctizens!
Was it the federal, aristocratic wings, or
the people-loving democracy!
UFAsk Claiborn r. Jackson who incor.
porated both these features in the laws of
your State. He will answer, AM THE
MAN-but go for repeal!
While he is going for repeal, you had
better go for man who will never vote
for such laws TO Cypress you, even for two
years.

STRENGTH OF PARTY TIES.

Talk to almost any intelligent democrat,
and he will admit that the affairs of state
have been badly managed by his party
lie knows his taxes have been steadily in.
creasing-that the State debt has been
steadily increasing-that laws, infamous in
their character have been passed, impo sing
onerous taxes upon the people-that his
party are opposed to improving the state,
and as long as they are in power, no efforts
will be made on the part of the State to
construct works of internal Improvement:
all this, he will readily admit, but ask him
to vote for wing, who stands opposed to
this course ofhis party, and he sadly shakes
his head, conscious that he would be doing
right, but the strength of party ties are too
strong. If democracy can do nothing better
than increase our taxes and state debt, al
the same time, it is time the name was laid
aside.

HALE WHIPPED.

The locos are SO badly scared that they
are half whipped. Just look how the faith
full follow their candidates from place to
place. They claim majority of one hun
dred and fifty in the District. and yet they
are alarmed. We don't wonder at it, how
ever; Gen. Clark has had their great cham
pion begging for mercy every time they
met, and if he does not beat him, he will at
least make him safer legislator 1t seems
strange to the democracy to see their great
leader begging and apologising, and we
have heard some so ungenerous as to con-
graduate themselves that he did not pro.
cure the nomination for Governor; for, say
they, "among strangers, Rollins would Ger.
tainly have used him up, hide and tallow-
but we will 60 for him anyhow. because we
know him, and know he didn't mean to do
wrong, although voting for that law was
too bad"

Thirtieth COngress-Ist session.

WASHINGTON, July IL.
Pursuant TO notice. Mr.. Hale asked and OBJ.
tanned leave TO bring in bill preventing specu>
lations, by providing that every male citizen who
is without land, may enter 100 acres Of the pub.
lie lands, and after five yeaIs residence he shall
receive patent for the land thus entered.
A petition for the purchase OF Mount Vernon,
for the purpose Of establishing National Garden,
was referred to the Committee on Agriculture.
Mr.. Niles offered a resolution extending the
ranking privilege 10 M. Alexander Vattemare
Mr. Anterior, from the Committee on Finance,
reported bill relative 10 the payment OF the
claims against Mexico.
The Oregon bill was then taken up. Mr.
flanagan gave notice that he would move as an
amendment, providing that all States south OF
the Missouri Compromise line should be admitted
into tho Union, with or without slavery, accor
ding to the will OF the inhabitants OF said State
On motion. the Senate adjourned
House.-By leave OF the House, Mr.. Stevens
introduced resolution calling on the President
for information relative TO the boundaries OF Cal>
ilornia and New Mexico. He addressed The
House in very excited strain, accusing the Pres
ident OF duplicily and inconsistency, in declaring
the Rio Grande as the boundary Of Texas in his
message; and in the instruction OF Mr. Slidell,
he declared that Texas had not established her
boundary.

TAX LAw-UNrAIRNEss OF 1T.

TAX LAW-UNFAIRNESS OF 1T.
To say nothing of the unjust distinction
in the tax levied on those who gain their
living by laboring for stipulated salary
and the property holder, there is another
view which shows the outrageous unfair
ness of that law.
The journeyman mechanic, the overseer,
or the Preacher, begins his years work in
January; he is to receive three hundred
dollars for his services from January to
January. In February, the Assessor comes
along, and books him for one per cent of
Of his salary-three dollars-and turns his
book over to the Collector. In April, the
mechanics employer fails, the farmer falls
out with his overseer and turns him off, or
The minister gets sick and cannot attend to
his duties, and in all these cases they lose
their salaries; yet the Collector fails not to
call for his taxes, and they have TO be paid,
although it should take the last COW or bed
of the man whose only fault is, that he is
too poor to own property, and makes a
living for his wife and little ones by hireing
himself to others.
Or, either of them may die the next
day after they are assessed, and their es-
,ates, if they have any, are bound for the
one per cent, although they never received
fourth or tenth of the salary!
MIR. JACKSON not only voted for the
law containing this odious feature, but &C.
ma7ly introduced it as an amendment 10 the
laU, HIMSELF!

WAR EXPENSES--A LIE OUT.

The President in his message to Congress
communicating 10 that body the ratification
of the Treaty Of Peace with Mexico, states
the public debt to be s65,77s,45O al
Mr.. Green, our member of Congsess, in
an address TO his constituents, says the ex.
penses of the war; to the first of December
last, "is only S24,773,733 So; and since
that time, the increase can have been but
Hule."
According to President Folks estimate,
the expenses have increased since Mr..
Green's calculation Sal ,OO4, 7l6,53,-nearly
as much as he made i, at first! He has large
ideas Of small increase.
But they are both wrong; no thinking
man, who does not want to deceive, sup
poses the actual expenses of the war, when
all the odds and ends are collected, will
amount TO less than one hundred million of
Dollars!

GOVERNOR.

Major Rollins has at length got with
Judge King-no, by agreement, but by &C.
tually following him TO his appointments
He will stay with him, we understand, un.
til the election. They met at 81. Charles,
and have been on tour up the Mississippi,
and were to speak in ST. Louis Thursday,
after which they visit the southern portion
of the State.
The wings of the State owe Major Rol-
Inns full and cordial support, and if we
mistake not the signs of the times, the re-
suit of this canvass will shake the strong
holds of democracy to the very centre.
Every man, be he wing or democrat
who desires TO see our State prosperous
who wishes capital and enterprise to come
among us-who wishes to see the farmer
realize good prices for the products of his
farm--who desires an impetus to be given
to every branch of industry, ought 10 stand
by him at the polls. measures not men,
-" the good of the State not Party
should be the watch word. If the people
will forget Party, and look at the Princi-
Piles of the two men,--look what has been
done by the friends of the one, and what
is proposed TO be done by the other, bright.
err days will soon dawn upon Missouri.

LIEUT.. GOVERNOR.

See speech of Mr.. Hendrick, Wing can.
ddate for Lieut.. Governor, on the first page
of TO days paper.
The occasion on which this speech was
made was not one to discuss State policy;
but Mr.. Hendrick is right on this subject.
He goes for turning over a new leaf in
State affairs, and stands utterly opposed to
the do.nothing- get.in-debt policy of the
democratic party. He lives in section of
country which labors under great inconve-
nience for want of transportation; the peo-
pie there are with him and Major Rollins
on the subject of State policy. and it be-
hooves the friends Of Reform in every Sec
ton to stand by them at the polls.
There are thousands of people in the
State who are sick and tired of democrat
ic rule. Let them throw off the yoke of
party and 60 for the State. What signifies
the success of Wing or Democrat, if the
State is not to be benefited? 1t is time we
forget these distractions and 60 for the
good of the State. Party has ruled TWEEN.

DThe metropolitan" announces, with
considerable flourish, that Judge King

we can tell how much of the peoples

Mr.. II. w. SMITH, Of Glasgow, an
nounced himself candidate for the legis-
lature, at the Barbecue last Saturday. We

in Franklin township were unwilling for
either of them to be backed off in favor of
the other and Mr.. Smith, we suppose, was
thought the best chance for compromise.
There can scarcely be a doubt as to the re-
