Tuesday, the Jay of election, would be
very small, but many Missourians were

GOVERNMENT SHINFLAsTERs. - Mr..
Buchanan has no sooner delivered himself
Of the annual party TRADE against paper
money aud against Banks, than his friends
in Congress are pushing through Twenty
Millions of paper money in the shape OF
Treasury Notes. They will have issued
Fifty Millions of their ''trash' in two

asserted that Gov.Walker today resigned

Garrison.
1t is stated that Gov. Floyd, Secretary
of War, will not ratIty the sale OF Fort
