The most just and honest plan ever devised for
doing the advertising Of the Corporation is now
before the Board of Aldermen, having passed the
Councilmen and yet we find it opposed aud de-
layed by protested Reformers. This plan is to
publish the advertisements of the City In those
five journals which will insert them at the lowest
rate per line for every thousand copies circulated
within the City. The rule has hitherto been to
give them to those papers which would receive
them in the lump at fixed rate, without regard
to circulation to aording real publicity to the
matters advertised. The new system will insure
the widest publicity at the very lowest price
not paid as matter Of favoritism and petty cor
ruption, but for actual service rendered. This
reform is, however, opposed by Reformers,
as it would appear, from personal motives
which do them no credit, and ia man
ner which can hardly contribute to Sc
cure the reelection they desire. The plan is not
one in which we feel a personal interest, for if
we bid Tor the advertising it will be at rate
which will give ample chance to contemporaries
who may desire to underbid US, and we shall
expect to be underbid accordingly but the
proposition is one so essentially fair and reasona-
Bile that it is hard to understand how any man
can disnterestedly oppose it.

JAMES w. BARKER is supported by apart Of
our Temperance men for Mayor with good reason.
They say he has for twenty years been an earnest,
active Temperance man, and has done fair share
of work in the cause. We do not favor Mr.. Bar
kers election. but willing to say all the good
We can of Everybody.
1t is very certain that Mr.. Barker is Know
Nothing, and the nominee Of that proscriptive
caba for Mayor. This raises presumption of
bigotry against him, which we are enabled in
some degree to counterfeit. When lately asked
to contribute toward erecting Catholic Church at
Fort Hamilton, (where he had some sort ofprOper-
ty interest," he put bis hand in his pocketan laid
down twenty five dollars like man, remarking to
the Catholic clergyman who waited on him that
Catholic churches ought to be supported as well
as others, and that he had never given for reli-
gieus purpose with more pleasure. This was
sensible and liberal, and we infer that, if Mr.. b.
is technically Know Nothing he is not one of
those intense spooneys who believe in it. We do
not support him, but our impression is that he
will prove good Mayor if elected

A WORD TO FARMERS.

We are evidently on the verge of a hard winter
for the Poor. Food and Fuel are dear and
likely to remain so, while most Railroads are
either finished or stopped, and few Public Works
will be in progress after January LIST. Foreign
Fabrics, Wares and Metals continue to pour in
upon US at the rate (for the whole country of
over Three Millions of dollars worth per week,
though it is manifest that our Exports, except Of
Specie and Promises, cannot nearly balance that
sum. 1t is hardly possible therefore, that Build
ing should not fall of, and all enterprises which
depend on Bank facilities or loans of any kind
should not be reduced to their lowest dimensions,
bringing want and distress to the hesrths of too
many of the Laboring Poor.
We appeal, therefore, to the Farmers, as in
the main the most thrifty and Independent cla'5
in the community, to come to the rescue Of the
unfortunate. Many farmers have secured good
hsrvests; nearly all have obtained or can real
ize satisfactory prices. Unlike almost everybody
else, nsjority Of farmers can show balance on
the right side Of the ledger as to the net results
OF the doipgs of 1854. Very many will have from
one hundred to two or three thousand dollars
surplus over the years outlay, to be carried to
the account of clear profit or realized earnings
for the year.
We entreat these 10 consider wheth< Duty
and Interest do or do not combine to suggest the
investment of this surplus in substantial and per-
manent improvements, giving employment to La
Dor. Many have old fences that need reno vating,
where they cannot be dispensed with;) all have
lands that need thorough blowing and subsoiling;
and every farmer should do something at drain
ing. We know how general is the belief that
none but lands usually too wet need tos be
drained; and that only lands that bear high
prices will justify the expenses but these are
both mistakes as ample experience attests.
There are two thousand acres of swampy boggy
lands in Westchester County alone that could be
thoroughly and lastirgly drained at cost of ess
than 500 per scre, and would then be richly
worth $500 to $500 per acre, whereas they are
not worth the taxes-not worth the cost of fenc-
ing them. Almost every farmer has some such
land, which now yields only frogs buirushes, al
ders, sgue mud turtles and musketoes, yet which,
properly drained and cultivated, would yield
eighty buihels of Indian Corn or three tuns Of
hay per acre. How much longer shall these,

Some of the Wings of the With District are
Directing to Capt Marshall as candidate for
Congress on the ground of his voting for Pierce
Seymour, &C., in years past. We don't care
much about these by gone matters, but we object
to Capt. Marshall as opposed by tradition and in
stinct to the great REPUBLICAN movement which
the Free States have so nobly inaugurated. Mr..
Wheeler, We feel confident. judging his future by
his past, will vote steadily to undo the great
wrong perpetratedin the passage of the Nebraska
bill; Capt. Marshall will naturally vote Cotton
clear through. He may condemn the passage of
the Iniquty, but he will hold it practically irrep-
arabic. He is Wing of the school Of The Jour
nal Of Commerce; and that sort vote wrong three
times in five, and for the residue generally neglect
TO vote at all. 1t would be unfortunate for the
rinDg North if John Wheeler were to be run out

THE STRUGGLE IN KANSAS.

From the day that the Kansas Nebraska bill
wss clothed with the forms of law, we have done
what we could to encourage the migration to
Kansas Of capable, energetic, independent farm
ers and mechanics, who would endeayor to make
Der Free Territory and in time Free State.
We have never represented that region as par
adise though We believe it contains very much
good land enjoys fair, mild climate, and lies on
one Of the great future highways OF commercial
intercourse between Western Europe and Eastern
Asia. We do not belie7e every one fitted to sue
coed in Kansas, and have uniformly discouraged
the migration thither of any but resoute, strong
handed workers, who would We likely to succeed
anywhere. And, though the false cry that 'he
Eastern Anti Slavery men were sending paupers
into the new Territories has been echoed through
Missouri and along the border until many believe
IT, we are confident that better class of imm-
grants ole more able to Sustain itself, has never
yet settled in any lew country than that which
has left New-York and New. England to uphold
the flag of Freedom 10 Kansas.
From the day Kansas was organized 70 the
present, We have heard of no single act OF out.
rage or robbery by any member of the Anti
Slavery emigration. 1t has not even been al
legged by the Missouri Pro Slavery journals that
any person in their interest has been molested or
mebaced by any settler from the East. No i'm
peoimeDt has been offered to the freest influx Of
immigrants from the Save States, no one has
even pretended to keep away from apprehensioas
OF wrong or violence from our sort OF people.
No meeting was ever held by Anti Slavery
pioneers to denounce or deter immig grafton from
the South. Yet, on the other hand meeting
after meeting has been held by Missourians, now
on one side of the line, then on the other, at
whi-i violent and threatening resolves against
Anti Slavery immigration were passed. and every
indication of settled purpose to crowd Slavery
into Kansas, peaceably or forcibly has been
given. Popular Sovereignty, in the Missouri
acceptaiion, is the sovereignty Of the rifle and
bowie-knife; and it is the arbitrament of these
and Dot of the ballot-box, that the Pro Slavery
party in and near Kansas has constantly invoked.
We beg our readers TO note these facts, and TO
read carefully the advices from Kansas given in
another part Of this paper. 1t is very plain that
blood shed in Kansas is only to be avoided by ex-
treme meekness and forbearance on the part of
Anti-Savery men. We ask all to consder'the
state of incipient civil war already existing in
Kansas, and judge whether Congress ought to
throw this fre-brand Of Slavery agitation into
each new territory it may organize. Is it not
better to guarantee to every newly organized
territory truly Republican constitution, thus
precludiDg the subsection of one man to another
as cha.tel, and allowing the settlers to prose-
cute their arduous labOrs in peace and harmony

from degradation; to preserve not only their
lives, but their selfrespect and courage. Let
every farmer who can, therefore, resolve to keep
some lsborers at work through the winter, and
not turn all off when the harvest is gathered to
wear out the inclemept season as they may.
There is no longer any lack of lsborers wish
ing to be employed. You can find them in almost
any township; or if not there will henceforth be
thousands of them vainly seeking work in our

here may hire as many as may be wanted on rea-

We are sorry TO observe that The Cortland
VRig does not support the nomination for Con-
eress of the Hon. Henry Bennett, in the AAis'
District. 1t complains that the Candidate was
nat taken from Cortland County. Its course IN
onus,inp the nomination. after it was regularly
made. however warm may have been its prefer
enees beforehand for its own candidate, is deeply
to be regretted, as its only effect will be TO H.
crease the chances for the election OF his opPo-
pent. Mr.. Tompkins who is placed by the Hards
on a strong Slavery platform. The Convention
which nominated him, (Mr. Tompkins') passed
resolutions in favor of the Hard platform adopted
at their last State Convention aud to demonstrate
Mr.. rs position it is only necessary to say that
that platform expressly approves Of the Nebraska
bill, the Fugitive slave law, and all the sggres-
siops ard encroachments of the slave power, and
is in every respect an out and out Slavery plat
form. and Mr., Tompkins adoughface candidate.
The Wing candidate, Mr.. BENNETT, is we'll
known and reliable Anti-Slayery man. He has
opposed in his seat in Congress, one and all of
these measures, firmly, constantly and unfalter-
ipgly, by his speeches, and his votes. He should
be sustained by every lover of Freedom in the
district The issue between him and his oppo-
uent is plainly made-Nebraska or Anti-Nebras-
ka, Slavery or Freedom. Let every friend of
Liberty cast his vote for Mr.. Bennett: no local
feeling, or petty Jealousy should be allowed to
stand as an excuse for voting against him, and
thereby helping to send northern doughiace to
Congress from district 80 strongly Anti Slavery
as that composed of Broome, Cortland and Che
mango. We repeat, let every lover of Freedom
see to it that his vote and his influence tell for Mr.
Bennett. In this way only can he speed the
cause of Liberty.
