The Summit Beacon, having been misled by the
Cleveland Herald, in publishing the garbled extract
from the National Era, which we noticed last
week, the editor, MIR. Tsesdale, comes out frankly
ard promptly before election, and admits the un
fairness Of the pretended extract, disavows on bis
part any purpose to deceive, by lis insertion ia his
columns, and clams to have been misled by the
Herald. This is honorable. Mr.. Teesdale knows,
what other editors ought to know, that honesty is
the best policy. A shallow deceptiol like this,
will always recoil upon its authors.
ourgood neighbor the Whig, who also pub
lished the garbled extract, will probably improve
au early opportunity to correct it, advantage
can be derived, after election, in leaving it uncor
rected.

A M sRYLAND FARMER.-The Easton (Ma
Star says that Col. Edward Lloyd. of that county
with his own servants-nunbering nearly four
hundred-some nine or ten farms-about six thou
sand acres Of land, including timber land, raises
annually between 80 GEO and 10000 bushels of
wheat, aud much larger quantity of corn; be-
sides various other valuable products. Besides
these extensive operations N Talbot he has plan
tation carried in the state of Mississippi worth
several hundred thousand dollars. and his annual
income cannot fall short of $150,000. TI,s resi-
dence is of the most splendid in this part of the
country, and has been the homestead of the
Lloyd family ince thheir first settlement in Mary
land.
Very grand and fine. And very convenient, and
comfortable and agreeabe,no doubt, to Col. Edward
Lloyd, 'of that country. But where does it all come
from? Wrung by the whip, the chain, the pistol
and the bowie-knife out of the four hundred s:ser

FRIEND HALL-Deare Sir:-The twelfth of this
month is day that will long be remembered 10
Elkhorn, and Waworth County generally. John
P. Hale delivered an address 10 a crowded audi
ence, presenting the true relation an individual
sustains to the government and the absurd position
that in voting for liberty the vote is lost believe
parties generally concede one thousand in this
county, who, if they bowed the knee to the Moloch
of slavery and party trammels, are determined to
do so
Tie course pursued by Ed. Utter, in this place
seems TO have aroused every Freesoiler in the
county, and bis negative influence will be tod at
the polls ina few days. Although the west is
composed of working men that rely upon their
own judgments and promptings of humanity, men
who are not ready to repudiate principle one day,
and at the bidding of wireworkers swallow their
own words, about face, with tie cry of expedien-
cy, and support the same principles.
You may set down Wisconsin a State. that

The Protection FIRE and Marine Insurance
Company is one of the oldest. wealthiest, safest
and promptest companies of the Union. To those
of our friends who wish to insure, cannot do a
greater favor than to recommend them to the
Agent of this Company, Fl. A. Swift, Esq, Ra-
VIENNA.
We would take this occasion to say a few
words to- our readers on the importance and duty
of insurance. We need not urge this upon our
wealthy men Or merchants, for they rarely
neglect it, and if they did, fires leave them other
resources. But we address ourselves to our labor
ing fellow cilizens-mechancs and others-who
perhaps have little else than home and its con-
tents in the world. These should never neglect
to insure; fire which may visit them at any hour
would leave them homeless and with no capital
but their labor 10 begin again the struggles Of life,
and years of toll and watching must pass before
they can regain what they have lost, if indeed it
is done. To such, insurance is duty-a
moral duty. IF the individual is worth little, the
expense is less; if he owns much property, still
the expense is trlling and by investing few dol
lars. he is safe. Ii he is overiakeu by misfortune,
and his all laid in ashes, he receives recompense
in cash capital equal to his loss and may soon
tore what has been destroyed. We advise our
aboring men and MECHANICS MOTTO neglect the du
ty of insuring their properly.
