BANKS! BANKS!!

Those who intend to vote for Banks will not
be so inconsistent as to throw their votes for the
old Hunker ticket. They are generally oppos-
ed to Banks. The Democratic papers OF the
State which do not openly oppose Banks are ST.
lent upon the question The papers at Madison
Democrat and Argus; the Democrat at Osh'
kosh, and other western papers openly oppose
them, and there is no doubt but that the whole
democratic ticket as far as State officers are con-
cerned are entirely opposed to them. Vote the
Free Democratic Ticket, headed by FarweI
and the State will be saved.

those sages of the Wing party who met in con-

august body they saw fit to award me a nomina-

was made without sufficient forethought, or con-

was obtained by Liberal means, inconsistent
with that high reputation the party has ever sus-

Land Reform to any extent, and if so to what ex-
tent?

not in favor of it, what change would you recon-
mend
9th. If elected, would you use your best en-

HOME INTEREsTs--STEAm



We suggested number of weeks ago, the
feasibility and necessity of immediate measures
tor the erection ola Grist Mill in this city. We
also suggested way by which at a very incon-
siderable outlay, mill might be put into opera
ton. A strong and urgent necessity exists for
something 10 be attempted in this line. The
mausoleum ola Steam Mill, with its monument
al tower, which has been erected at such vast ex-
peDse, now stands warning 20 inexperienced
spectators. But the plan which we proposed, is
eminenly practicable and feasible at mere
nominal cost
The engine is already on the spot and set, and
of sufficient power for the business, and waits
for work. The present OWNERS are anxious to
do what is in their power to forward work
which can be made profitable to themselves; and
of incalculable advantage to the interests of the
merchants and citizens at large. But like a
good many of the rest of us, they are not over
flush with the cash. and can hardly see the way
clear to incur the expenses of the necessary out
lay.
Now as this is matter which affects more or
less, every one of us; we propose that some
thing be done by the merchants of this city, and
these who will profit the most by the great
increase ofuade, which would be brought here by
the existence of practical grist mill. Say let
twenty combine and place at the disposal OF
Messrs. WHEELER and MOVES, two thousand dol
lars, (this will be but one hundred a piece,) at a
low rate of interest. With such men to manage
it, it could be made to pay, and in addition to the
profits reaped in an increase of business, they
would doubtless be able to pay back the princi-
pal in twelve months or thereabout
Nothing need be said of the importance of this
move. Our neighbors each side of us'are actu-
ally supplying us with the staff of lie, and are
Dragging of it.. And the farmers back of US, are
obliged to 60 to those places with their grst and
for their goods, when they would be better suit
ed to come here.
