The anti-free-suffrage voters of Edge
combe will take notice of the following. 1t
is an extract from the Mountain Banner, q
Western paper:
And we would here take occasion to warn
Eastern men against their opposition to that
measure. There is now large and respect
able portion of the Western people opposed
to Convention; but if Free Suffrage is kill
ed by Eastern men--men who oppose it on
principle-the West will rally as one man
for Convention IF Eastern men desire TO
prevent a Convention, let them pass the
Free Suffrage bill. This, we honestly be-
lieve, will satisfy the great mass of the peo-
pie, both East and West, and silence the
Convention cry.

In the approaching election the democracy OF
the Northwestern counties, will move in an
unbroken phalanx to certain victory. This is

reasoning. There is no doubt but that the

the foreign born, are deeply convinced of the
just, liberal, and enlightened policy of the car.

The nominations, so far as made, give universal
satisfaction. Our standard bearers not only
command the confidence, but arouse the enthu.
siasm of the people. Sectional animosity finds
no place in our ranks. Under their chosen
leaders, the democracy are united in this one
common purpose-to sweep every vestige of
wing misrule from the land
The following extract from private letter,
written by leading and influential democrat of
Newaygo, is but one of a multitude of cheer
ing assurances which we are continually re-
ceiving of the wide spread and well deserved
popularity of our Senatorial candidate
"The democrats with whom have conferred
on the subject of the nomination of |. V. HAIR
RIs, for the Senate, are highly gratiied with the
result of your efforts to secure the nomination
of man and democrat-one who will reflect
honor upon his constituency, and one who can
get a little more support in the coming election
than any other man."

~ Democrats remember the County Con-
vention to be held on the 18th inst. The i'm
portance of the approaching contest demands a
thorough and efficient organization. Let the
primary meetings be held in every township,
the wishes of the people thoroughly consulted,
and then let those wishes be fairly represented
in the convention by accredited delegates. If
the nominations are made with direct reference
to the wishes of the people, as expressed by a
majority of the delegates, we shall have no
fears that sectional bitterness will dampen the
ardor of the democracy, or prevent them from
fulfilling their manifest destiny, by rolling up
larger proportional majority in old Ottawa, at
the next November election than in any other
county in the State

A Washington letter of the 18th states that
arrangements for the Japan expedition are pro.
crossing in favorable manner. 1t is now de-
termned that the expedition shall consist of
three superior war steamers, viz The U. S.
steamship Mississippi, Capt Long, which will
leave New York from the first to the 10th of
November. The U. s. steamship Princeton,
Commodore Perry, which will accompany the
Mississippi, as flagship, is now at Baltimore
receiving her boilers. The third steamer is the
Allegany, which is now undergoing repairs at
the Gosport Navy Yard, and will sail in Janua-
ry. Commodore Ringold is to have charge of
the expedition to survey the China seas. The
US. ship Vincennes will be the flagship of
the squadron. The Corwin and Gardiner in
vestigation is still progressing.

STATE FAIR.-Our State Fair closed its an
nual exhibition yesterday. From the time of
the opening of the gates, until the final award
of premiums the grounds were thronged with
people from every portion of our State. The
interest manifested by ALL and the determine
ton of different: sections to excel in advancing
the best interests of our State, and Guido all
others in the productions of agriculture, manu-
features, and the fine arts, give fattering hopes
for the future. There is no reason why our
favored State should not yield the best of eve-
ry thing needful for the comfort and enjoyment
of life, and, with proper encouragement, she
will soon rank among the first in manufactures
as she now vies with the oldest and best in her
agricultural products.
We were in hopes of giving, to-day, the
names Of the fortunate receivers of the pre-
NUNS, but the late hour at which the labors Of
the awarding committees were closed, renders
it impossible to do so. AS soon as we can pro-
cure a complete list, we shall lose no time in
giving it to our readers. Free Press.

EASTERN MONEY MARKET, &c.-All our ex.
changes concur in stating that specie is accu-
mulating in New York. The taking by foreign
houses of $3,OOO,OOO Pennsylvania Railroad loan
and the $3,OOO,OOO State loan will supply an
amt of exchange which will limit the shipments
of coin. Money lenders offer any amount at 5
per cent. on call, and paper of first class char
acter, long and short, circulaes readily at 81 and
per cent. At these rates the money market
is likely to continue easy. The banks have
not further contracted their lines, but they do
not seem disposed to extend them. The stock
market is strong and has been steady, with the
exception of few stocks which are wire-pued
and which do not show the real state of the
market The fancy and speculative stocks
have not yet fully recovered the slight decline
caused by the fishery question-yet there is a
gradual upward tendency, though speculation is
confined within very narrow limits. Brokers
are still the chief holders of the speculative
stocks.
Trade is very active. The interior of the
country is absorbing large supplies of goods
and the great prosperity is forcibly shown by
the general neglect of low priced and common
articles in comparison with the great demand
ofmedium and fine goods. The southern,west-
ern and northern consumption is very unrea-
sonably large. Prices are firm at the same
time, occasioned by the limitation Of stocks with
the demand. Free Press.

INTERNAL IMPRovEMENT.-The editor of the
Buffalo Courier says: There could be no bet
ter or more complete refutation of the charge of
hostility to Internal improvements which the
wings have been making against the democrat
ic party these ten years past, than the passage
of the Harbor and River bill, at the recent ses-
sion of Congress-there being large demo.
cratic majority in both the Senate and House
of Representatives. The passage of this bill
has taken pretty near all the wind out of the
sails of whiggery. The party sis at dead
stand in the sea of tribuation." If the wings
had fears, they had hopes also, that Congress
would not sanction appropriations for the i'm
provement of Rivers and Harbors. But the
thing has been done. A democratic Congress,
has appropriated nearly $2,000,0O0 for the
good work, and wing orators and newspapers
all at once find themselves short of wind. A
large portion of stock in trade is already exhaus.
ed and now we see them devising new exped-
ents, endeavoring to raise other issues, upon
which they may base at least, hope Of recov-
erng the ground they have undeniably lost.

The Philadelphia Ledger says, the anthracite
coal trade has not been so active, nor so pro-
ductive to producers, as well as carriers, for the
last ten years, as the present season. The mi

are realizing large profits. This should not
