CHEAP FARMS
Social, personal and family attractions
will cause many persons-parents, broth
ers and family connexions, to move to the
west the coming season. They will want
farms and village homesteads, which can
be had for nearly half what they could a
year ago. Many are compelled to sell;
Others prefer selling property for almost
nothing to being in debt and paving 25
per cent. interest. Some have an excess
of property and wish to dispose Of part /;
others are foolish enough to think that
property viii never come up again. From
all such causes, competition arises as to
who will cell the cheapest. This compe-
Lition for buyers will run downproperty to
figures unpleasant for ssters DIT pleasing
to purchasers. We venture that during
the coming spring, property will be cheap
er in Grant County than everafter by 25
per cent. The causes now existing to
make property cheap can never exist a.
gain; there are q variety of causes, all act
ing in concert yet producing competition,
not for high pr ices but for low prices-be-
ing reverse of all the rules in trade. If
we could buy half the country on a years
lcredit, at prices asked, we'd make an indie
pendent fortune. These are the onlv
good and sure times for specializing in land
property We have known for many years,
because land cannot be lower; it must rise
upon current prices.
JUDICIAL ELECTION HIGHLAND COUNTY OBJ
SERVER.
The Richland Co. Observer criticises
our course on the Judicial Election, and
saws we are "unfayorable to advancement"
The editor Of the Observer, Mr.. SANDER
SON, knows Of no stopping place, no quar-
ter post, no neutral ground He would
have candidate brought out against
Cothren, at all hazards, whether the peo-
pie say SO or not. He seems to hold that
because particular section Of the Repub-
lcans of RichIand County are not exactly
pleased with one or two Of Cothren's de-
cisions, therefore, the whole district is dark
and wrong and immoral. Mr.. SANDERsoN
is gentleman Of ardent notions, of great
zeal and personal anxiety as Republican.
We admire his paper because he is strong
minded, but we do not approve his side is
sues, so often raised and introduced as
Republican tests. His whole opposition
to Mr.. Cothren has grown out Of local is
sues, about which Republicans elsewhere
care not a straw.
| We have represented Judge Cothren po-
litically as he is, without any whitewash-
! ing, and vouch that upon the political is
sues in the Judicial department Of Gov
eminent, he is with the Republicans, ex-
c. pit perhaps the Fugitive Slave law; he
| is Douglas man, anti -Lecompton, anti
bred Scott decision, holding that the U.
S. Constitution does not establish slavery
in the territories, and he is with Jefferson
and tho Republicans upon the great foun-
dation rock Of State Rights. These are
all the points we care about. He may
have voted for Buchanan Or the ID, but
with such views he never can be a Demo
crat in the future. We tell Mr. SANDER
son that new issues are forced on the ma
ton by Buchanan, upon which people are
| divided; and Cothren is on our side, with
Ithree-fourths of bis party in spite even Of
their own predictions.
We have been long time in the anti
slavery ield-ever since "A, and in all that
time have helped with feble voice and
pen to steer the revolution. Just now the
Judicial department. is the bulwask of
slavery; formerly, it was the Legislative
| The latter is nearly secure on our. side, the
former is to be stormed. Cothren is right
now upon the judiciary points; upon the
other we Care not how he is, for we can do
without him. Our object is not party, bu,
a change in every department of govern
