The Peru Republican in an article ofsomc

remarks:
We think this road can be built without
the sacrifice suggested by the Democrat
We venture the assertion and think we can
show when more at leisure, that there is
not a more meritorious unfinished work in
the State, and that it can and ought to be
completed. We propose also at some fu-
ture time to consider more in detail the va
rious causes Of suspension and embarrass-
ment of the Company. calling things by
their right names. We have no idea thai
the disbanding of the old Company and The
organization of a new one will hasten the

Uncle sam Specializing on Long Island


Uncle Sam Specializing on Long Island.
The Government Of the United States
lately wanted piece of ground on Long
Island, as location for fort. The own
or asked S120, 900, which the Government
thought exorbitant. While the Circum-
locution office was challering with the pro-
prictor, spcculator stepped In and
bought it for $3.50, 900, and the property
appreciated directly to 100000. The
spcculator got that price, making S10,OOO
out of the operation. 1t is believed that
the Government officers connived with him
in the opera ton, furnished him with the
information, AMI divided the profits with
him. 1t was clear case of swindling.-
The Government had the constitutional
right to take possession of the property
upon payment to the owner of just COM
pcnsatinn, which means giving him what
the property is really worth and no more.
Why was not that course pursued? Sim
ply because the parties acting for the gov
eminent would not have been enabled to
become sharcrs in the subsequent Ohud.

'iI.c editor of the Howard Co Tribune
(who, by the way, is man Of sterling
ju,lgrnent.) says he has been frequently
asked of late his opinion Of the price that
wheat viii command, and in his last paper
ventures to express himself in relation
thereto, aud at the same time makes Jew
wise suggestions, not claiming. however,
any particular capacity for looking into
the middle of next week. lie proceeds
to say:
The wheat crop is not about To be as
fine as was expected few weeks since. 1t
has IN many places, been injured by
rust, and generally the wheat is lght--but
little Will be found that will weigh with
that Of other favorable seasons. In some
places, especially in " York. Southern
Ohio, Northern Missouri, Pennsylvania
ami Illinois. there is great deficiency
But throughout the Northern States, ia
king them altogether. the crop will, no
doubt, be the largest ever produced. There
Will be good foreign demand, but at pri-
.ses much less than that of last year. But,
do YOU ask, when shall we sell our wheat!
If YOU have barn where You can preserve
it from waste ant destruction, and do not
owe the merchant, printer or ANYBODY
else anything. it may pay you good IN
tcrest to keep it over, but if you have no
such convenicnces, and men who bave been
lenient towards YOU, are still your cred
itors, by all means sell your wheat this
fall
The price is likely TO be about dollar
per bushel, and although we should prefer
to buy ours at much higher price, If II
could all be sold in the same way, yet you
have no reason for complaint or croak
at this price. Wheat, at one dollar pei
bushel, pays the producer well. Several
gentlemen are about to engage in the wheat
traie here, In whom we have confidence
and we have no doubt they will pay you
all they possibly can afford for your crops
Our advice is then that You sell, at least
sufficient 10 pay every dollar you owe. Lei

inent of the free state men there Noresist-
ance was contemplated. 1t is evident,
however, that new era is about to be in
auguratel. Possibly it will be distinguish
ed as one prominently disastrous to the ter
ritory and the union. The policy that this
movement indicates iorbodcs no good, eth

ion was to be held under the organic law,
Gov. Walker, instead of apportioning the
REPRESENTATION, as it was his duty to do,
auihorized the a51siding officers of the Bor-
.ier RuHian Legislature to attend to it, anti
they have attended to il so as to render it
certain that majority of pro-slavcry can
lida.es will be returned. Nineteen coun-
ties containing nearly one half the PoPula
ton have but three Representatives., while
the other half including all the pro-slave-
~ strongholds, is to have THlRry-sIx.-
But worse than ak, it is SO arranged that
four counties on the frontier, Leayenworth
Douglass, johnson. and Doniphan, con
troll the Legislature. These counties have
I. out of tie Is Senators. and 21 out of TIN
80 Representatives. The object OF tins ar
rangement is obvious. The aid of Nilsson

meetcd out to the Feec State men Of Kan
sas by the Democratic party, and yet sucl
lights as the Marshall County Dcmocra
assert that the Republicans desire that Kan
