A Complete Store.

When at Fayettee, few days since, we
were politely shown over the cupocious and
well-filled store-rooms OF Messrs. BOOK,
DuscAN s. SMITH. They have in store
some thirty thousand dollars worth of mer-
chandiss, embracing every article that the
wants Of the community demand, besides q
thousand and one articles of convenience and
luxury, that create want as soon as they
are seen. No article of utility or comfort,
is called for in vain. Their fall purchases
were unusually heavy, and their prices have
been so arranged as to insure quick and large
sales. To persons who dislike running all
over town to find such articles as they de-
sire 10 purchase, q store that has every thing
that may be desired, is q great luxury
Read their advertisement, and give them q
call.

Destruction of an Old Landmark.

The Louisville Courier of the 9Th, has the
following: -....
The bright light which lit up the heavens
so brilliantly on Friday night denoted the
burning in Jacksonville, of perhaps the on
ly building Of historical interest in this Vi
cinity. II was the house in which General
VIM. H. Harrison lived when he was the
Governor of the North Western Territory.
In that old frame tenement, with its brick
basement and weather stained front and
crumbling, tims-ealen roof, resided for sew
eral years the great Indian conquerer, whose
name, in connection with his victories and
many virtues. became a household word
throughout the Union. There he ruled that
vast portion Of our cohfederacy known as
the States Of Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Wis
consin and the Territory Of Minnesota
Thence he issued his orders--tbere he re-
ceiyed the Legislators, and there dispensed
that famous latch-strihg-out hospitality
which, In 1870, became 50 celebrated. q

Second sale Of Lots!

TINE sale and demand for lots in the new town
/ Of Sturgeon are unexampled in the history OF
inland towns; so much so indeed that the propri-
etors have concluded 10 crafty all by second
sale. They will therefore offer at public
auction, on Monday, November 40, two
hundred additional business and building lots.
As evidence of the uneXampled success attend
ing the sale of lots and of the confidence the pub
lie have in the perthanehct and prosperity Of
Sturgeon, we refer with pride to the fact that up
to this time 225 lots have been sold for the aggre-
gate sum Of NINETEE THotsAND, SEVEN HUN
DRIED DOLLARS! and number of houses are now
in process of erection in the place.
Sturgeon is located in the northern part of Boone
county, and Is Immediately on the NORTH MIS-
SOURI, RAILROAD, and the DEPOT is now perma-
nently located there. with the express and binding
obligation there to remain. The town OF Sturgeon
has and will have advantages not eqnalled by any
point probably on the whole line of tue Road.
The town is beautifully located, and being eqn-
distantant from the towns Of Columbia, Roche
port, Fayette, Huntsville, Paris and Mexico, is
sure TO be the county seat OF the proposed New
County OF Bourbon. county, which we
hazard nothing in saying will contain more fine
land, the size Of the county considered, than any
other in Missouri

Kansas Meeting.

The citizens OF Howard county held a
meeting, on last Saturday, at Fayette, for
the purpose Of devising plan to pay off the
claims Of of individuals against the county,
on account of the late expedition 10 Kansas
Territory.
On motion of DR.. John j. Lowry, Rich
ard H. Robinson was called to the Chair.
DR.. Lowry then addressed the meeting in
his usual brief and pointed style. He APP
pproved The course pursued by Missouri
ans in relation 10 the difficulties in Kansas
styled the pro-slavery army the first States
Rights army every assembled. and cornpli
mented the soldiers present as patriots, who
had shown themselves willing to defend
their country's rights and the reserved
rights Of the States. He animadverted with
severity upon the unjust and sickly course
of President Pierce, in permitting the pro-
slavery settlers in Kansas to be murdered
and driven from their homes by the marau-
der Lane, who had openly avowed, while
on his march to the Territory, that the Eek
termination" of pro-slavery men was his
object.
Messrs. Herndon and Elliott both ad-
dressed the meeting for a short time, forci-
bly, urging the justice and necessity of CON-
pensating those of our citizens who had ex-
pended their means, time and labor, in GO
ing to Kansas for the laudable purpose Of
defending their friends and neighbors.

Wicked and Reasonable.

The Mobile Advertiser, in replying TO the
declaration Of the Mobile RegiSter--a Dem
ocratic paper--that "the whole Fillmore
in the South Is wicked and trea-
sonable," has the following, which is not
without interest here in this latitude. 1t
says: ....
The Fillmore movement in Alabama; MS
well as in every other State Of this Union,
is a movement for the preservation of the
Union and the Constitution as they were
formed by our fathers; a movement against
the agitation Of slavery by those who have
no business with it, and are not interested
in it; a movement against sectionalism and
all mere sectional candidates; movement
to put down all disunionists, fanatics and ag-
itators, North and South; a movement to
secure the rights of the South in the Union,
by maintaining the Constitution III all its
force and vigor as it was transmitted TO us
by its framers--in short, u Increment for The
perpetllity Of The Union. To this end, they
are supporting Candidate who boldly de.
clares, 81 never can consent TO be one thing
10 the North, and another TO the South" II
know only my country, my whole country
and nothing but my country To support
such man, to labor for his success, il
wicked" and Unreasonable" is it? All, ii is
undoubtedly, in the estimation of those .whos'
lives have been spent in laboring TO dissolve
the Union--striving TO weaken the ties thai
bind together its various parts' The Dis
unionists of the South, as well as the Abo
liiionists of the North, doubtless look upoI
every movement, the effect of which is Il
defeat their wicked" schemes Of disuhior
as Unreasonable" The election of Mr.. Fill
more would destroy forever all their cher
ished hopes; hence in their eyes, "the Who'll
Fillmore movements ''wicked and trea
sohable." The Mobile Register, however
is the first paper, North or South, wnic
has had the unblushing audacity to put III
statement on paper.

Disuniop,

The hideous mask Of Disunionism, so un-
blushingly exposed by Keitt, Brooks, Wise,
and otbers--the strong supporters Of Buc-
hanun in the South--is rapidly destroying
the last hope Of the Democratic ticket in the
South. There is wisdom, prudence, and
patriotism in the Southern half of the con-
federacy; and the traitor who would attempt
disunion there now, would perish swiftly
by Southern hands. The National Jntelh-
gencer forcibly says: The idea is too mon
strous for grave argument, and is indeed
hardly worthy Of being treated seriously
To make the existence of the government
dependant upon the result Of a regular peri
odical election, would be reducing our in
stitutiohs TO the level and the precarious
tenure of Mexican or Buenos Ayrean pro-
nunciamento. But the men who laid the
the foundations of the Constitution, and OF
the Union which rests upon it, knew what
they were about, and laid them too deep to
be shaken or subverted by any tempest Of
party passion or transient excitement. This
glorious Union has stood firm during sixty
years, and, with the blessings Of Heaven, il
will stand firm sixty years longer, though
the Washington Union and its misled con
federates should live all the time TO predic
! its downfall.
