ITO ALL WHOM 1T MAY CONCERN

manner that the writer has withheld his name.

ton, nonsense and fasehood. Please let me correct
Mr. - little He says: "Mr. Thornton Berry is
warning the farmers to beware Of all hinge and cen
tire draaght machines" l said no such thing, but l
did say ''pr0fessedly centre draught &C." Now, no
sensible practical believes that there is or can be
ally when the raker rides upon the PLATFORM which is
the case with all others except McCormick's: He
says again: 1--WE don't consider a man judge of such
machinery after using threshing machine two sea-
sons and wear it OUT used my threshing machine
three seasons, did very good business, then had it
repaired and sold it for $780, the amount paid for it
when new. The little, filings the writer makes
at the intelligent farmer whom he thinks not ps'en
to give certificates, is too low for comment 0enea
contempt Now farmers, whether capable to putup
machines or not am anxious to try. and they don't

The FoRAY UPON CHIHUAHUA AND SONORA
Our correspondent from Leavenworth City, says
the Missouri Republican, confirms the views
we have heretofore expressed, in regard to 10,
raw noon chihuahua and Sonora, in the event
of the failure of the Pixies Peak gold adventure.
That agents have been at work in getting up an
expedition, which is to be concentrated in CHI
huahua and Sonora, does not admit OF doubt
and the condition of the men who have gone out
to the gold region-the utter restitution OF
man, of them even when leaving our frontier,
and the probability that hundreds aud thousands
will be in state of absolute starvation, and
therefore ready for anything soon after their ar
rival-all these things warrant the belief that an
iuroad, peaceable or otherwise, will be made In
TO the Mexican States which we have named
All that is wanted to give successful issue TO
such an expedition, is money-money to pay Tor
the provisions tor the use OF the men. This has
been the main difficulty in the way OF an earlier
organization, and may yet prevent an ehoient
force from being set in motion. The country
will look with much interest to the future move
ments of tho 6libusters on the Western Plains.

GONE TO THE poGs.-The New York Herald
takes very dismal view of the prospects OF the
party for which it processes so great sympathy
Here is its latest wall:
''The existing demoralizations and division;
of the Democratic party are exceedingly de-
plorabe. The split in Pennsylvania, the re,
bellion in Louisiana, the party rivalrles ano
iealousies aud discussions in Virginia; the des-
pair of the faithful regulars of the North, the
impracticable demands Of the pro-slavery hre
eaters OF the South, and the general disorgan
ization of the whole Democratic camp, would
seem to Justify the belief that in 1860 we shall
have the last struggle, the final overthrow, and
the permanent dissolution of the late great Dem
ocratic party"
The Herald processes to see some lingering
CLEANS OF hope left, however, in the suppositlon
that the revival of trade, now apparent, will
place the Administration 10 an improved po'
sition; that there will hence be "no necessity
for tinkerng the tariff" that 'the niger agits'
ton will be stifed' in the .titrore of money ma
king and speculation F; and that the party will
have good sense" enough ''to rally around the
Adm nistration, finding peace, harmony and
victory under the Leadership of James Buchanan
This is only gracious manner OF saying that
,the Democracy is inevitably, and with great
rapidity, going to the dOgs.-Riehm9nd Wh'g
