Mole, muskrat, mink and "Coon" skins, were
respectively tie half dimes. dimes and quar-
tiers, while wild Cat, otter and beaver skins,
Bear fleece and Buffalo beef. were the lar
ger currency. Some of our old citizens will
remember the persons named in this document
the reading of which will, no doubt, recall to
their memories scenes of frontier life, the re.
collection of which will excite feelings both
OF pleasure and regret. Each old pioneer who
may chance to see this, after reading it, will

Og-The "hormonions democracy" in New
York are in terrible muss. II is we'll known
the movement of the Barnburners in that
State was started to defeat Cass, and give her
electoral vote to Gen. Taylor. Now, E. Cros-
well, the heart and soul of the Hunkers SAYS
"Altoge ther and entirely as We prefer the cleo
ton of Gen. Cass, we should prefer the cleo
ton OF Gen. Taylor to the success of the third
party. The Wings are doing all they can tc
secure the votes of this State for Taylor, and
he will obtain them"

The Baltimore convention resolved that, BY
vetoing these bills, he saved the country from
SEA corruptive system of general internal I'M
provements." Gen. Cass says he has carefully
read the resolutions of the convention, heartily
approves of them, and will, ifelected, regulate
his administration by them. In the teeth OF
this pledge TO veto internal Improvement bills
western Locofocos have the audacity TO pro-
claim that Gen. Cass will approve of such ap-
preparation bills as MIR, Polk vetoed. What
sort of opinion do they entertain of Cass thus
TO declare that he will falsify bis solemn pied
ges to his party?
When MIR. Folks first veto of the river and
harbor bill reached the west, it created the high
est indignation among the Locofocos. Thou
sands Of them openly denounced him as trail
tor to the interests Of the Vest, and ex-
pressed the deepest regret that they had as
sisted in promoting 10 the Presidency man
who had repudiated the wise and judiciou:
course which Jackson, Van Buren,, and all the
earlier Presidents had pursued. Now, Mr.
Polk was not pledged on the subject Of inter
nal improvements. But Gen. Cass is pledged
TO veto them, and if he prove true to hi
pledge and puts his veto on such bills as MIR
Polk has vetoed, these Locofocos who sustain
him, cannot justly find fault with him. HI:
will tell them to read the Baltimore resolution
and his letter of acceptance and then say if ht
could, without the blacklist treachery, hav,
signed bills making appropriations for any kim
of internal improvements.-Lou Jour.

Being more votes than the number neces-

this positive claim for Cass and Butler the fol-
lowing States at least:
Ohio, %

Total So
Take So from 1853 and IS will remain. The
vote of all the States will be $50; necessary to
a choice, 1874. So if Cass should receive the
vote OF each Of the States in the above table
furnished by the official organ, save Ohio, s.
Carolina and Pennsylvania, he will fall short
of an election just 81 votes in the States desig-
mated.
Ohio is Wing and will remain so. The Van
Buren, ticket there will divide the Locofoco par
ty. This is a well ascertained fact already
Van Buren, and Cass, old spoilsmen both. steep
| ed to the eyes in corruption, are not the men
for wings to support, in Ohio or elsewhere land
they will not be supported by them.
South Carolina will do as John G. Calhoun
predicts and desires-throw her vote away
rather than give it to Lewis Cass.
Pennsylvania has tier of IL northern coun-
ties, with Loo ofoco majority of six or seven
thousand votes. The Barnbumers in this regi-
Ion-Van Buren, men who have no: forgotten
