The Voice of Henry CLAY.
From Schuyler Colfax'. Speech.


As / look, sir, to the smiling valleys
and fertile plains of Kansas, and witness
there the sorrowful scenes of civil war, in
which, when forbearance at last ceased 10
be a virtue, the Free State men of the
Territory felt It necessary, deserted as
they were hy their Government, to defend
their lives, their families, their property,
and their hearthstones, the language Of
one Of the noblest statesmen of the age,
uttered SIN years ago at the other end of
this Capitol, rises before my mind. | al
Jude to the great statesman Of Kentucky,
Henry Clay. And while the party which,
when he lived, lit the torch of SANDER at
every avenue of his private life, and IL
heiicd him before the American people

nous, as a gambler, debauchee, traitor,
and enemy OF his country, are now en-
gagged "a shedding fictitious tears over his

And who can doubt with what party he

Farmers. Clean Your Wheat.

As .Ae new crop of our State will soon
begin to come into market, we desire 10
remind farmers of the restrictions passed
at the Milwaukee Corn Exchange last
spring, and which will be adhered to in
future transactions. They are as fol-
lows.
Resolved, That hereafter the members
of the Corn Exchange will make tina, diff
ference In the price OF clean and unclean
wheat which real equity and the demands
of the eastern market, and the reputation
of Wisconsin wheat requires.
Resolved, That we will as buyers and
sellers of wheat, insist that the benefits of
clean wheat and the losses of unclean
wheat shall fall where they properly be-
long, upon the producer
Resolved, ThaEswe pledge ourselves
individually and collectively to faithfully
labor for the reforms contemplated in these
resolutions, by always encouraging honest
dealers by high prices, and dlscouraging
the reverse with the proper deductions.
Farmers as well as dealers will find
their account in cleaning their wheat be-
/! fore bringing 1t 10 market.-Mllwauk
Sentinel.
We copy the above notice and hope that
It's adnonition will be needed by all far
ners, and also by all buyers throughout
the State. 4 farmer who carries dirty
wheat to market disgraces himself; and
the buyer wko buys it aids and abets In
disgracing the State.
We hope that farmers will have more
pride hereafter, and feel that they are
each directly Interested in building up a
high character for Wisconsin. The eff
feet of high and well established char
acter for honesty of deal, and superiority
as farmers, will raise the value of real
estate five times as much as can be real
lied by selling dirt, and and chaf,, for
wheat
But If the farmers fail to reform in this
matter by carrying dirty wheat to market,
we hope that buyers all through the State
will adopt such regulations as will be eff
cient to rectify such an unbusiness like
and bad practice. We invariably run our
wheat through one of Elias best premium
tanning mills before taking it to market,
and believe it more than pays.-Wiscon-

tanned. The testimony of respectable witness
ses shows clearly that he was in a state of
drunkenness unusual, even for him, and little
in condition TO protect himself or notice what
was going on round about him. No one who
heard the testimony could have any doubts of
Mr.. Lumsden's entire guiI.lessness of Corco~
rams accusations. Nevertheless, that there
might be no doubt in the public mind of his
innocence, Col. Lumsden demanded that the
examination be continued until the 18th, for
the purpose Of having Coreoran's testimony.
Since the above was in type, we learn from
the PicGyune that Mr.. Corcoran learns that he
cannot be compelled to appear and give his tes-
timony, and he protests that he will not! Sure
Iy, the exploits of COrcoran at the Inauguration
Dinner will live after him ! After his rampant
declarations against Col. Lumsden, the sequel
shows that he has at length got himself into a
most unenviable position.
