The Washington correspondent Of the
New Rork Post, in speaking of the recent
brutal outrage upon NJ. Sumner, says:
Zone result of this occurrence is to bring
big canes and revolvers into more general use.
Many of the northern representatives. 90 pro-

with armed men. With the intense bitter
ness Of sectional feeling now raging, the slight
est accident may turn the halls of legislation
into an arena of bloody strife, for the conse-

We have been informed that an effort is be-
ing made in this county, to organize Know
Nothing councils, pledged to the support of
Fillmore and Donaldson. We hope that this
movement way not succeed, in fact we say it
cannot succeed, for the people will not ignore
the Kansas question il must and will be met
boldly, by all who have the love of their
country at heart. We ask all concerned, to
act with wisdom in this matter, 1T least to

EARMERs TURNING MERCHANTS, THEN BANK
RUPTs S TcK TO YOUR FARMS AND THEY WILL
STICK TO YoU.-It is a peculiar part of the
programme common to high pressure times,
when speculation riots and drives reason and
prudence into obscurity, that men forsake the
plough, the anvil, the plain and wok Der ch,
and resort to the selling Of silks end laces,
toys and tobacco, rat-traps, grindstones and
ribbons for living it is useless for man Of
prudence and experience to urge that bank
ruptcy, cards and rot-gutis generally the fate
Of all such as forsakc the farm and resort to
the counter for living. The living facts that
not one in hundred ever breaks up at farm
ing while not one in ten ever acquires per-
manent wealth in the Mercantile pursuit,
seem not to impress the head filed with fifty
per cent profits on toys and fneries. There
are several men, good farmers and success
ful ones in Grant County, who tell us they
want to sell out and 90 10 merchandising. ln-
experienced in the business, their failure is a
mere problem in process of solution; the ftss
reaction in commerce and currency will sweep
them overheard and they will go down tie
current implied by relative, friend and foe
alike. A successful farmer, possessing a
family, has no more of moral right to for
sake his well secured farm boat for leaky,
shaky, cob-web, lace lined boat, than be has
to resort to the Jug, the faro bank or the ten
pin alley. Stick to your fl rms your lands
will never desert you, nor cease to supply
your wants, unless you first desert them
The mercantile business is humbug to who
ever is inexperienced in it like gambling it

The editor of the Ironton, o. Spirit Of
the Timea-a Democratic paper, says:
"If to be Democrat means to bea support

would deem it libelous to be so considered.
