We end very many persons who have

1856 are heartily for Lincoln. and q very
few viii probably go to the Democracy ;
while the Bell party is growing "suall
by degrees and beautifully less" Bell
is too good man to be beaten in the
effort to divide the Opposition ranks. and
it is to be hoped that be will withdraw
from the field. We understand that
Everett has declined, but have not no.

If Bell does not decline. the only effect
his running viii have. will be to attract
the vote Of old fogies. and other persons
who would otherwise vote the Demo-
cratic ticket. We do not think q single
person in these parts, who is favorably
inclined toward Lincoln, will vsts for
Bell.
We find that the Democrats IN this
part Of the country are all Seward men.
They think he is great and good man.
and would like to see him elected Presi-
dent, if a Republican must be elected. In
short. they are highly displeased because
the Republicans did not nominate Sew
ard, and think he has been badly treated.
What kind-hearted fellows they are, to

had the pleasure Of examining curiosi-
ty. in its way. 1t was an immense Bow
ie- Knife. brought by the Missouri dele

Wisconsin. 1t was of the very finest
material, workmanship and finish, and

for his muscles by merely lifting it; and
dozen Pryors could be strung on the
blade at once. On one side of the blade
was the inscription: Presented to Hon.
John F. Potter. of Wisconsin, by the
Republicans of Missouri, 1860" On

Germantown, where we are now So
journing. is one of the prettiest and heal
thiest towns in the West, with generally
a lively and whols-souled set of people.
1t is surrounded by beautiful and roman.

The wheat crop here is mainly good.

visitation upon our own Kansas soil.
