The traet of land on which the town is laid
out. is covered with valuable timber, for build
ing purposes besides this. there is on the oppo-
site side Of the river a large bottom, heavily
timhered with oak, ash and walnut.
ThirdEy-Ets Position.
This town has on the Kansas side of the riy-

+ owe give Iowa to Mr. Fillmore because
three of the five State officer elected at the
August election are his friends, and were
nominated by the Same convention which
nominated FILLMORE electors Thus, of
the nine States which have held elections,
the Democrats have carried six of them,
having forty ght electors to the hlaek-re-
publieans thirteen electors and tie f'aaflnlfre
men four.
sFellow-demoerats, are not the results
cheering, and4lave We not everything to
encourage us for the November contest p
So far as compared with 1852, when the
democrats had two hundred and forty -four
electors to forty-two opposition, we have
gained twelve in Kentucky and lost four IN
Iowa to Fillmore and eight in Name to
Fremont, being an equal gain and loss
The contest, therefore, has about the same
appearance as in the last presidential cam
paign, when we had nearly all the electoral
votes"

From the Wheeling Argus.
How goes the Eatsie.

Since the opening of the presidential cam
paign State elections have been held in
Kentucy, North Carolina, Missouri, Arkan-
sas, Texas, Alabama, Iowa, Vermont, and
Maine. The Cincinnati Enqtitet fodts up
the colutnh thus:
"The State elections thus far point en-
elusively to the fact that the people have
resolved to eiect James Buchanan President
.of the United States. In presidential
canvass the results in the States preceding
the great battle ii November are excellent
thermometers of the state of publie opin-
ion. Since the three parties nominated
their candiaates-I'uchanan, Fillmore, and
Fremont-elections have been held in the
following States. We give the result with
the number of elections to which they are
entitled
