State Convention, and nominated an
excellent electoral ticket, consisting
Of Charles \. Washburn, VIM. II.

other candidate that could have been
named by the Chicago Convention.
The Democracy are everywhere divi-

The Presidential Question.

The Presidential Question.
The Breckenridge men calculate in
| the most sangunc manner that they
arc to have control Of the L. 5. Gov
crnmcnt for the next four years. They
have various schemes for cflccting
their object, one of which is, that the
Presidential election be carried into
the House Of Representatives. Once
there, say they, and we will be victo-
rious, although not more than three or
four States arc ours. The Democrat
ic Congressional delegations will
mostly 90 with us, and those who
prove refractory we will buy over, just
as we did in the Lccompton struggle.
Mr.. buchanan will lend us his aid, and
use all his immense patronage to FUR
Their our ends. Although largely IN
the minority, are not parliamentary
tactics left us to prevent, If we can
not elect our man, others from elect
ing theirs Let us use every trick,
make speeches, call the roll, demand
the ayes and noes, &c, &c, and thus
spend the time till the fourth Of March,
The House thus failing to elect, the
Senate will elect Gen. Lane, and he
will be good enough Morgan for
all our purposes for the next four
years.
The Douglasitcs are also concoct-
ing their schemes, and, taking their
word for it, are equally san%uinc of
success. Having a bare majority Of
the Congressional delegation of but
ono State in the Union, theirs is not
to be a negative action, but they will
move heaven and earth to form iusiOnS
and combinations. If they can man
age TO prevent LincoIn's election by|
the people, on reaching the House
they hope to coalcscc with the Bel! 4
Everett men and thus secure a victo-
ry over the Scccdcrs as well as Re
publicans.
But, alas . there is nothing perfect
under the sun.
.Thc best laid schemes of mice and men
Go often WIOug'
This sad experience is now to be the
reward of the traitors and disunion-
list and we already sec them quak-
ing at the thought Of the rctribution
they are to receive. The people are
attending to this matter, and they i'll
tend to make a sure thing Of it by
placing Lincoln in the Presidential
chair, beyond the reach of the corrup-
tionists.
Should the people, however, by
some untoward circumstance, fail to
choose the President, and the election
should go to the House, what possible

Of sovereignty commences and be-
ing consummatcd by their admission

We Want More Farmers.

One effect which it is supposed the
present state of hard times will have
may be looked upon as decidedly add
vantagCous, and that is in the greater
attention which it is probable will
now be given to agricultural pursuits.
The fertile uncuItivatcd lands, with
which the West abounds have been
neglected, and we hope will be more
sought after for the purpose Of tillimg.
The life Of farmer has more attrac-
tons, by far, and more solid, substan-
t!al comforts than the multitude seem
willing to conccdc Too many have,
Of late years, left its quiet and hcalthtul
pursuits, to crowd into the already
over crowded cities, forsaking with
most perverted tastes, the green fields
and fine atmosphere Of the country,
for the dust and noise, and confined
air that is found in streets and alleys.
We hope and think attention will be
more strongly turned 10 the culture of
the soil, by thousands whom the en-
barraSSmcntS Of the times have de
privcd Of employment, and as CON
sequence, provisions of every kind,
will be more abundant and cheaper
1t is time the current should set the
other way, and if the distress under
which the whole country now suffers
has the tendency to divert labor into
It's more appropriate channels, we
may find that even this allIiction has
not been without its Advantages
