THE WEST.

The article below from the Usage Dem
ocr0s contains statements 80 contradictory
of reports that have been circulated rela-
tive to the western portion of Northern
Iowa, that We copy it with much satisfac-
ton, and invite our eastern readers partic-
ularly to its perusal 1t is common say
ing off towards sunrise that the western
counties Of this latitude in Iowa are desti-
tute of timber, arii in soil and generally
Of little value. Like many other reports,
this one turns out 70 be untrue. To the
man in want of second hand land in this
region the Land Agents of the Times
columns offer superior inducements To
the young and vigorous laborer whose
nerve and muscle 'utweighs his gold, we
say, Go to this land of promise and take
one of your Uncle Samuel's farms by pre-
emption. Get unler motion soon too, or
it will all be settlec before you arrive:
"FARrHER WEsT."-All the informa-
ton we have heretofore been able to give
respecting the Counties west of US has
been Obtained by one-sided reports
Having but lately returned from few
day travel in the interior OF both Worth
and Winnebago, we are prepared to give
more reliable and fuller Information res
pecting them. Both counties have been
represented as containing much low and
swampy land. But little of this did we
see, and were informed by the settlers that
it was none too wet for good farming
country. Neither is it destitute of Tim
Der. Elk Greek, which runs through
Worth county, is bordered along by large
quantities of timber of all qualities, as is
also Lime Greek, in Winnebago. In town
ship 80 range % there is heavy body OF
timber which surrounds Rice Lake.
There is in this large quantities of saw
timber; and near this is located the town
of Bristol. There are now eleven houses
erected upon the town plat, a good Holel,
store building which will soon be filled
with goods two blacksmith shops, and a
steam mill which will be in operation in a
few weeks. In township 100, range e3
there is another town laid out to be called
Lime Greek City. This town has pleas
ant location, and has a good body of tin
Der to support it. South and west Of fhis
is Forest City-situated at what has been
known as the Big Brush Settlement. AT
both of these lass named places they in
tend to have steam-mill, parties having
gone East to obtain them. In the vicinity
and between these places the country is
well settled by an intelligent class Of far
mers mostly American. We were inform
ed by them that many good farms were
yet laying unclaimed, but were fast being
AIKEN up. The settlers have formed them
selves into an organization for the protec-
ion of their rights, which is governed
by constitution and by-laws-ajury be-
ing chosen to inquire into and settle all
points of difference between the members
If the club.
Should these lands be kept out of mar
let for year, these counties would, with
,ut doubt, be as thickly settled as any in
ne northern part of the State.

TUESDAY Nov. 4, 1856.-This is the
day on which the American People select
the President for four years-commenc
ing on the 4th of March next. We have
every confidence that the successful man
will be Mr. Buchanan. If it should turn
out otherwise on the counting, of those
obstinate little pellets called ballots, we
hereby bind ourselves to bow respectfully
to the will Of the masses and to indulge
in feelings of great disappointment. We
hope however TO travel along through life
without any serious change of health nc
matter who succeeds. The only sensible
way to change our laws or governmental
policy, is through the ballot box, and he
who does not bow to it's decision, is not q
good citizen.
In Europe. a revolution is resorted to
for the correction of evils-here, the sill
small voice of the all powerful ballot works
the change and the country returns to its
wonted harmony.
We advise the defeated not TO "swea,
like the army in Flanders" when they be
gan to snuff the saline river. Good men
of all parties have been doomed here tofore
to explore the home of the political exile,
and no one should complain of the fate
of combatants. In the immortal Languages

We are weeping on earth for the lost,

Fora spirit in paradise found.
Though brightness hath passed from the earth,
Yet a star is new born in the sky.

Where are pleasures and fulness ofjoy
And new harp is strung, and new song is

To the breezes that float DER the Gardens Of
