MAssAcHusErTs.-The fre-eaters Of the South
seem to have a particular grudge against the
people of Massachusetts,. If that State will
agree to leave the Union, the fre-eaters would
consent to remain in it. Massachusetts, was the
first to innate the revolution which gained us
our liberties. Massachusetts, was the first to
pass retaliatory laws to offset those passed in
the South, by which Northern men were de-
prived of their rights and their liberties in the
,South. Massachusetts, has more Colleges, more
Academies, more intelligence, than all the Cot
ton States combined, and Massachusetts, can, in
one weeks time, bring men enough into the
field to whip all the fre-eaters of the South in
to subsection. No wonder they don't like Mas
sachusetts.

Position of Virginia.
RICHMOND, Nov.


The proposal of Virginia. is to main
tain position of armed neutrality until
she is prepared to tender her services as
mediator under the official sanction of the
Legislature or Convention called by its
authorities. She will meanwhile prepare
for the worst, for if the States now threat
ening to secede shall adopt her programme,
and that shall fail 70 be carried OUT, by
non compliance on the part of the North.
Virginia will unite in the secession move
ment. She will ask the Southern States
to 90 into a conference with her, and it is
understood they will go, provided she lays
down beforehand the programme which
shall from the basis of action, which shall
emprase.
First, A repeal of the statutes nullify-
ing the Fugitive Slave Law by those States
which have passed such statutes, with a
guaranty of faithful enforcement Of that
law in the future.
Second, A concession that the Consti-
tuition authorizes the carving of slaves into
the common territories, and consequent
protection of slave property therein.
Third, That Congress nor the Executive
shall intefere, except for its protection in
the latter when necessary.
10000 stand of arms are now being dis
tr:buted in Mississippi, by order of Gov.
Pettus. i-
Accounts recently received here repre-
sent that State as almost unanimous for Sc
cession.

Your Local Paper.

Fowler's "Life Illustrated" published in

papers. In its last issue We find, among
other good things the following sensible re-
marks: sai
"Reader, did you ever reflect on the sub.
ject of supporting literally to the press,
and first of all, your own LEGAL newspaper
If not, permit US to suggest to your own
privilege and your duty in this respect.
"Each city, town and village, in a
country like the United States, should be
represented by Hve local newspaper, and
it would be well, not only for the people
and the place so represented, to have a
paper which would reflect credit on both,
but paper which would be an honor and
credit to the State and nation. Stran-
gers from abroad judge us by our newspa-

as possible.

place to contribute something toward i'm
proving and Strengthening the local press.
He may do it by subscribing and pay
ing for his paper, by advertising in it, by
recommending it to others, or in all Of
these ways. Were the country press as
literally patronized and as we'll supported
as it should be, the country would not be
so flooded with the worthless trash in the
shape of "love and murder stories," as it
now is, which poison and vitiate minds of
the young-There is usually more moral
integrity and circumspection manifested by
editors of the country press than by those
in the large cities, and more healthy tone
ofmind and moral will generally be found
to pervade them. They are more free
from the reports of degrading vices and
crimes, and are never opened with that
feeling of suspicion which attaches to the
common flash literature of the day.
"The country press may be improved.
Each individual residing within the limits
of its sphere and circulation may aid in
its improvement. He may be on the lock
out for interesting information, and when
this is obtained, communicate it to the ed
itor. He may bring his own business be-
fore the public by an appropriate adver-
tisemenL or, if he has beef, pork or grain
to sell, he may announce it through his
local press. He may give historical sketch
es of the past, and showing the progress
and changes going on at present. He may
help make bis local paper source Of in
struction to strangers, and of entertain

cate the routes by which it may be reached,
its accessibility to the markets, etc. There
is no estimating the advantages to any town
or village of Hve local journal, and We
doubt if there is to be found at the pres
ent time an editor who gets fully paid for
the services he performs, and we put the
responsibility where it belongs-namely,
on the people, whose business and duty it
is, first of all to support handsomely their
own local paper"

ANOTHER ELECTION.
DOUGLAS DEMOCRATS TRIUMPHANT.
The Editor of the Farmer runs
as the Republican Candidate.

On Saturday last there was held in Hardy
township, an election for Justice of the Peace.
The candidates voted for were JOHN ALBERTsoN
Esq. and A. j. EsTILL, Esq. The former is
the present Justice, and the latter is Editor oi
the Holmes County Farmer, and has for a while
past, labored under the misapprehension that
he was supporting Mr.. DOUGLAS for the Presi-
dency. The contest was uninteresting until
about the middle of the day, when the friends
of each of the candidates warmed up, and the
voting became quite spirited. We are sorry to
say, however, that our neighbor of the Farmer
was defeated, and therefore, his rooster was not
seen hoisted 10 front of his Office window, as has
been his custom for some time past, Immediate
~ after an election.
Now we should like to have an explanation
of part of the proceedings of Saturday. Has
the Editor of the Farmer turned Republican,
and was it stipulated In the conditions Of his
turning that the Republicans should Immediate
ly give him office? The Ticket as voted, read
as follows: Republican Ticket For Justice.
A. ]. EsrILL." No Tickets with his name on it
were printed at this office. We noticed him
busy among the Republicans urging them out
to vote. What does it mean? Has he turned
Republican, and, if yes, is the Farmer hereafter
to be a Republican paper? If this is part of
the arrangement we had better retire or turn
Democrat, and publish the organ for that party
in this county. We have indeed fallen upon
singular times. Every day brings forth some
comes sooner or later in every mans life, has
turned the Editors of the Farmer wits inside
out, or that the crisis, which was to have arro-
ven, have arriven.

NEGRO SUFFRAGE.-The opposition charge the
Republicans with being favorable to letting the
negroes vote. The best test of the truth of this
charge is the result of the recent vote In New
York State, for and against an amendment to

suffrage Although the State went Republican

iy 5,ooo votes polled in favor of the amendment.

SAVAGE CRUELTY.-Two men at enmi-
ty with each other met in Harrisburg,
Stark county, one day last week, when
one of them set a savage dog upon the
other. The brute seized the man by the
arm and held on so forcibly, being spurred
on by his owner, that his jaws had to be
pried apart with sticks, after having man
gled the arm horribly. The owner of the
dog had been arrested and should be severe
ly dealt with. He was more of brute
than the dog.

This will barely make up the average of
the four previous years; whilst after Christ
mas, unless we have an unusually mild
winter, the imports will cease for four
months, in consequence of the frost. We
have fortunately had large arrivals during
the past month of September, and We
hear that the Americans are making ex-
tensive preparation for getting as much as
possible 10 the Atlantic seaboard before
the frosts set in. On the other hand, it is
quite certain that there will be large and
continuous demand for foreign corn from
this time till march or April, on account OF
the damp and inferior character of the new
wheat, and the very small stock Of old
native corn remaining on hand. Thus,
last week, no less than $4,000 quarters
were sent from London by the Eastern
Counties Railway alone; and it is calcula-
by some of the factors that fully $4,000
quarters were sent into the coutry during
the week by all conveyances beyond what
we used in London. This is far more
than we imported. 1t is therefore, proba-
bic that before the ports on the continent
reopen after the winter the greater part of
the imported wheat will have been con-
sumed.
Under these circumstances, the markets
already feel the pressure and are buoyant.
But as it is probable that we shall have
large delivery Of English wheat after har-
vest, it may keep the price from rising ex-
travagantly high. Any such modification
Of rates depends however, upon the amount
of the importations, as there will be an en-
ormous range between the price of the best
and inferior wheats Of home growth. An
instance of this occurred last week in Mark
lane, when factor sold on the same day
two samples belonging to the same person
the one, old, which brought Gas; whilst
the other, new made only 44s per Or
This will afford a pretty good idea of the
injury the crops have sustained, which we
are convinced is much more extensive than
most persons, even in the trade are aware of.
