Help the Needy.

There are many persons IN our midst
who are in really destitute circumstances,
and whose position entities them to any
little charities that the generality of oul
people are able to bestow. During the
past two weeks, our citizens have been
called upon to aid in repairing and beauti-
fviEg our churches, and to erect new ones,
which is all right; but We do not think it
is requirement. of Holy Writ that we
should spend all our means merely for the
purpose of making a great show, and at
the same time permit widows and orphans
in our mid st to suffer for the necessaries
of life. Ye. such has been the CASE
Hundreds of dollars have been spent in
this town, with a view only to temporary
amusement, or something worse. That
there are persons in Plymouth, who have
really suffered for the necessaries of life,
we know. There is a lady, with two CHI
dren, living on the lot back Of Pershing l.
Co.'S store, who is in really destitute
condition She is a Poland lady, and is
unable to speak the English language suf-
iiciently accurate to seek employment
Those who are personally acquainted with
her, say she is neat, industrious, virtu-
Gus woman, and is entitled to our sympa-
thy If any of our people have any pro-
visions, clothing, house furnishing goods,
especially a cooking stove, that they could
afford to give. or dispose of OH such
terms as would enable her to pay for them
in work, they would send sunshine around
n hearthstone where want and darkness
have almos: chilled the life, blood of the
sufferers.
1t is probable there are many others in
town III equally destitute circumstances; if
SO those knowing their necessities should
see that they are relieved.
We consider it just as good religion to
''sisit ,he widows and orphans in their af-
fiction" and to minister to their wants,
as it is to go to church and pray for the
Lord TO help them, and then go home and
make no effort to relieve them. Lest the
Lord should not hear their prayers, or
bearing, believe it to be their duty, we
would respectfully suggest that they attend
10 such matters.

E. S. ELLIOTT, Dear Sir.-I wrote Fa-
Their from Wyandott city on the 9th rlt
that we would leave that place on the 28th,
but it rained and showed so that we did
not start till Tuesday noon, Goth. Our
course was up the Kansas river for four
miles through rich piece of bottom land,
well timbered. Here we crossed the river
on free bridge that cost 1913, 900, and be-
gan to ascend up out of the bottom through
some of the richest and finest timbered
land that my eyes ever beheld. We camp
ed eight miles west from Wyandott at a
little ravine where we could get plenty of
wood, ETC. Next day at 0 m we struck
the prairie at Shawnee Town. This place
has bat few houses, yet it is located in a
pretty place for an inland town. We were
detained here some three hours getting an
old fashioned reflector made to bake bread
in, having to throw our stove away, as it
would not bake. That night we got to
Cedar Creek, four miles west of Olatha.
at this creek is fine camping place--a-
bout fifty wagons were there that night,
most of them going to Kansas city to sell
mules, oxen, etc. and buy goods.
Olatha is small town. but fine houses.
Thursday night we camped near grove
called Hickory point, three miles west Of a
little place called Black Jack, and one mile
east Of Palmyra, also small town. Al
Palmyra we bought twenty two bushels OF
corn attwo shiIlings per bushel.
That night--Friday--w camped in

EXPENDITURES OF THE GOVERNMENT
The Washington States, in an article upon
this subject says: The idea is widely prev
alent--we even entertained it ourselves
j that the expenditures Of the Federal Gov
eminent are increasing every year atHl
alarming rate, and that they now amount
to nearly hundred millions of dollars
per annum. The fact is far different, as
we have ascertaned on investigation, and
are prepared to prove. The expenses OF
the Government fall an immense margin
short Of hundred millions. and are rap
idly decreasing, instead of Increasing, each
year
After giving the details of the expendi-
lures, the States says:
The recapitulation of what we have
deliberately explained, gives the following
comparative result:
Expenditures of le55-5s appropra
ted by Opposition House. 81 ,9O1 ,129
Expenditures of $3.50. ..... 59,974,226
Expenditures of lo59-'60. ........ 5l,000,G00
Thus we have succeeded in demonstra-
ting the falsty of the two propositions in
dnstriously circulated By the Opposition,
towit: that the expenditures of the Gov
eminent approximate hundred millions q
year, and are increasing at an alarming
rate. Both allegations are absurdly false.
Es"The New Albany Ledger truthfully
remarks that just prior to the Presidential
election of 1856, the New York Tribune
declared that 'as true there was God
in Heaven, if Mr. Buchanan was elected
all our Territories would be made slave
States. Well, Mr. Buchanan was elected,
and since he las been liz office two Terito-
ries--Minnesota and Oregon--have been
admitted into the Union as Free States,
while no Slave States have been admitted.
1t is true that the Tribune, assisted by its
partisans In Congress, laboIed asslduous-
/ " to prevent the admission of both these
Free States, but thanks to the Democracy
of the North and OF the South, they were
taken into the Union despite Black Repub-
lican opposition, and Mr. Buchanan cheer
fully signed the bills admitting them. So
it will be in all future time, maugre the
grofane adjurations of the New York Tri-
bune and similar prints. The Democracy
will give a welcome to Kansas, to Nebras
ka, and to Washington, when they shall
come asking admIssion as Free States, al
/ though we should not be at all surprised
if the Black Republicans who may then
happen to be in Congress were to vote a
gaipst their admission, as in the case o:
Minnesota and Oregon.
