Howard County Agricultural Society.

A meeting of the citizens Of the County
was held at Fayette on Monday, on the sub
ject ofthe Agricultural Society of the Coun-
ty. Col. Young addressed the meeting in
q very appropriate style, giving history Of
the rise and progress of the Boone County
Society, and showing the general benefits of
such Societies to the productive interests of
the country. A large number OF persons
became members, and many Of our most en-
terprising citizens are taking lively inter-
est in the subject.
A meeting Of the Directory will take
place next Monday, at Fayette, to arrange
the list of Premiums 10 be offered this fall
and take such other steps as the interests
of the Society may demand. 1t is specially

bers, will hand them in to the Secretary,
previous TO or en- that day.

Second District,

We observe the democracy got up no
party meeting the other day in Lincoln
county, for the purpose Of endorsing the adj
ministration and the Nebraska question, and
getting out an independent candidate for
Congress, whose platform would be between
the two, and calculate to draw votes from
oil parties. The prominent plank was to be
no power in Congress 10 Legislste on the
subject OF Slavery, and no fellowship with
those who admit the power, or vote for those
who admit it. They passed set of resolu-
tions one of which was very applicable to
the body then and there assembled. as we
look upon it as nothing but squad of agi-
tators. Col. Young, OF Boone, was present
and made speech, and correspondent of
the Republican says announced himself for
Congress. We met with Col Young at Fay-
cite, the other day, and was informed by
him that he was not candidate, and did
not design running for that or any office.

Charlton Co., June 5, 1854.


Mr.. EDrroR-Col. FlournOy, the Demo-
cratic nominee of the Bloomington Conven-
ton, was at Brunswick en- last Saturday,
and made speech to small portion of our
citizens. He is very poor public speak
err, and his ideas are as old as he is. Dur
ing his speech he did not use an original
idea of his own manufacturing. As an ev-
idelce that his remarks attracted no atten-
ton, il may not be amiss to inform you that
when he closed his remarks not a dozen
democrats were in the room. An old say
ing is true in this case, and can be Justly
applied, viz: "Straws show which way the
wind blows"
Col. Flournoy (if his Brunswick speech
is fair sample) cannot create any excite
ment in the political world. The Demo-
Gratis listened TO him with bad grace, and
when the time comes for voting he will find
his electioneering has had no effect. The
Col. must receive such cold manifestations
from his party with much chagrin. The
democrats have made the best selection that
could have been made 10 insure the election

1t is plain to be seen that the Democrats
are sadly disappointed in their candidate

cate the democratic doctrine, without mix

he unconsc, usly steals for "buneom -.
He is fishing for Benton votes, but the pros

70 the Wings of the Ninth Senatorial
District

FELLow -CITIzENs:-I have been solicit
ted by many Of you, both privately and
through the public press, TO become your
candidate for the Senatorial branch of the
next legislature of this State.
And in no measured terms allow me to
express to you, in this manner, my profound
and grateful acknowledgements for the con-
fdence and honor signified in this unmerri-
ted compliment. Did circumstances permit,
it would, l assure you, afford me very high
pleasure to serve you, in the noble endeavor
to give Wing principles and Wing policy
the ascendency in the legislature of this
State, at this critical period of her history.
To those of you who know me, need not
say am thoroughly, and without compro-
mise, Whig in sentiment and action. But
regret TO say, that necessary regard to
my private affairs, utterly forbids me the
pleasure and honor Of serving the public as
their candidate for Senator.
/ am happy, however, to know that there
are in our ranks, in this district, many able
and distinguished citizens--"G men and
true"--capable Of serving you in the pres
ent canvass to better purpose than my
self. For any such man, who may be Sc
lected by the voice of the party, l pledge
beforehand my cordial support.
Let us be harmonious, avoiding all Sec
tional and personal feeling in the selection
Of our standard bearer, and with that ear
nestness and activity in his support, which
should ever characterize true and faithful
Wings, we shall not fail Of success.
Very truly,
w. E. MOBERLY.

"The editor Of the Missouri Courier, of
whom we have-apart from politics very
good opinion, persists in the "power test"
as an indispensable article of faith among all
reliable Antics. We believe all the Anti
editors in the State, side with the Courier,
except the Pilot and neighbor Hancock of
the Banner. Although, the Courier is very
rigid and uncompromising in such matters,
we are disposed to believe that it will not
denouncc the Banner because it repudiates
the "test." At least such is our opinion,
although it is possible that we may be mis-
taken( D-T Boonville Observer.
GAS for "denouncing" the Banner, friend
Simpson, that is step we should dislike TO
take unless we were convinced that its
course was influential by corrupt or selfish
motives. We endeavor to allow q liberal
latitude for conscience and opinion on all
occasions, especially TO editors who are so
closely beset by Wing contemporaries, hav-
ing the contagious influence of their incon-
sistences, constantly paraded before them.
But without infringing, unpardonably, the
rules of courtesy and propriety, we utterly
repudiate the platform which the Baner has
constructed for ITSELF beyond the reach of
the poper test We think that the Banner
will find itself wandering from the fold of
democracy. in gang by itself, unless it
should perchance stumble across the Pilot
in its wanderings. We include to the be-
lief, however, that our friend DR.. Peabody
Of the Journal will teach the Banner the ne
cessity Of performing very difficult militia
ry maneurve, known technically as the
Increment retrogade" which when render
ed into vulgar English means '.to cravfsh."
+ Hannibal Courier.
The Banner is influenced only by the "cor-
rupt and selfish motive" of trying to get
Benton votes for Flournoy, while you on
the same pure motives, are trying TO pull
wing votes off Of Porter--tugging however
at different ends of the string
And this is TRUE DEMOCRACY!
Look at it Benton men--Look at it An
ties! See what your Editors are at. They
agree on nothing, save in securing enough
votes 10 secure the Offices! One swearing

reverseis democracy.
Lind!ey and Porter are the true Demo-
cratic Republicans-both have been tried

interests Of the whole country, and stead
fast to the interests oftheir constituents, and
worthy Of reelection. See that they are
sent TO Congress, voters of the Second and
Third Districts, and leave these editors to
settle their goats wool disputes.

Death of James B. Nourse.

This gentleman, who for several months
past, has been Associate Editor of the Saint
Louis Intelligencer died at SCOTS Hotel, in
this city, at half past eleven this morning.
We make the announcement with pang OF
regret and deep feeling of sorrow, which
those only can appreciate, who knew the
deceased.
Mr.. Nourse was.a native of Nelson CO.,
Kentucky, and at the time of his decease
was about forty years of age. He was a
brother-in-law Of Nathaniel Wickliffe, Clerk
Of the Circuit Court of Nelson county, and
related also TO many of the most prominent
citizens Of the same county. His disease
was cholera, which attacked him yesterday
about o'clock, and terminated his useful
life before noon to-day.
He was man, whose equal in every vir.
the that makes man noble, we rarely find.
Kind, generous and honorable, he never
failed 10 endear himself by the strongest
Ties of love to all with whom he came in con-
tact. We knew him for six months, and IN
that short, time, learned to love him for the
kindly virtues Of his heart, and respect for
the brilliant powers of his mind. 1t was a
privilege TO be his friend-to be admitted
to an enjoyment of the kindly traits Of his
affectonate nature, and listen to the words
of wisdom that fell from his lips. As wri-
ter, he had few, if any, equals in the West
AS man, he had no superior on esrih.--
We mourn for him-but our sorrow is con-
soled by the assurance that he has gained
what we have lost. The circle Of his friends
in this city was small ,on account Of his brief
residence among us; yet, every one who
know him will drop tear to his memory,
as they reflect that he has gone from their

LINN w., way W, iCbf'
EDiroR TIMEs.--Mr. A. w. Flournoy,
the ex-parte nominee Of the Anti-Benton
Bloomington Convention, is gong through
the fornalities of a congressional campaign.
He spoke in Trenton last week to very
meagre audience for about fifteen minutes
He admitted the Benton party were not rep.
resented in said Convention, and therefore
not in any manner bound to vote for him.
But he wanted 70 be elected very badly, and
hoped that they would vote for him;-that
by discussions in the Democratic ranks the
party had suffered disastrous defeats in the
district.
He was for a Homestead Bill of some
kind, and for some kind of Internal I'm
provements, though his ideas were not very
clear as TO distinctive features Of each mea-
sure. He is for the Nebraska Bill, and is
on the Anti platform, and endorses the reso-
buttons OF the convention that nominated
him, in which Atchison is Landed, and
''nary" word is said about Col. Benton, who
is passed by in silence.
Efforts are being made by Flournoy's
friends to create the impression that he will
get the Benton vote,-that he possesses
some wnndrous loadstone power that will
draw TO him the various divisions of the
party. The lact is, Flournoy does not pos
sess any hold on the Benton ranks, although
efforts are making 10 silence prominent Ben.
ton men in The Grand River country BY
compromises and coalitions. / can safely
say that the old unadulterated, genuine
Jacksonian Benton democracy are wide
awake; they ask no favors, and give none.
IF the Antics wish 10 fill up the "deep
ditch" and level the singh wall'' which
has separated them from the party and
power, they must repent in sack cloth and
ashes, cut loose from notification and dis
union doctrines, and repudiate the men of
the Fox Jackson, Flournoy and Lowry
school. They pretend to say they have a
majority in this district, and it has been
yielded, because thequestion has never been
tried. The Benton men have not gone into
convention with them, and have never run
candidate. If Major Griffin would take
the field and conduct the canvass in his usual
vigor and style, hosts of honest democrats
would rally around him, and the polls would
show a surprising result. The mass Of the
people are for Benton. The leaders Of
few presses, who are mouldcrs OF sentiment,
give out anti. Benton impressions, and they
go uncontradicted, because they have no
man of ability who will take the field and
raise the Benton standard,
Flournoy's effort was a failure, both in
matter and manner, and men of ell parties
feel that he is The "slowest" coach that ever
travelled this Congressional turnpike. The
opinion entertained by the people in my
travels, point unerringly TO the reelection
of the talented and accomplished Lindley.
I will drop you line from the eastern part
Of the district in few days, and give you
public opinion as / find it. S.
