Labor Supply at the West.

Of the grain growing States of the
West and Northwest, Illinois contributes
to the defence of the Union about thirty
thousand men, Indiana about thirty-fiv
thousand, Michigan eight thousand, Wis
consin four or five thousand, Iowa three
thousand, and Minnesota three thousand.
We have not the exact figures, but these
are, if anything, understated. In these
five States there is but one large city
Chicago. The greater part of the popu-
lation is devoted to agriculture. The SOL
diers drawn thence are, therefore, for the
most part farmers, who have left their crops
to defend their counlry's flag.
The supply of labor has never been near
ly adequate to tho demands in this region,
and in times of peace it would have been
a benefit 10 the farmers to send them
help. Much more must this be the case
now, when over eighty thousand of the
ablest young men of those five States are
suddenly drawn away from their usual en-
ployments on the farm. The New Bed.
ford Mercury states from trustworthy in
formation that in one neighborhood in H.
linois, embracing the towns of Peru, La
selle and Princetown, "no less than eight
companies left for the war just before har-
yes. time; and nearly all of these were
farming hands. The consequences that
hired men are asking two and a half dol
lars day, while corn is selling at IA cents
and wheat at As to so cents per bushel.
The farmers say they cannot and will not
pay such prices; and one firstclass farmer
in Burea county has made up his mind to
loose quarter part of his fine crop, saw
ing the portion with his present force
The small grain harvesting runs through
August, and ploughing for next crop, corn
cutting and husking will give employ
nlent to all who want it until the end of
the year. The farmers are always willing
to pay $3.50, and some even $500 per
day; but more than that they will not
give"
There is every reason to suppose that
such state of affairs exists over many
parts of the agricultural West at present.

Ben. Edward Grey, well known in this
State, and now citizen of Dallas county,
Ala has given couple of horses to Sc.

giving the horses, should have joined the
company himself. Two horses and an ass
would have been a nice team.

ncstly call on upon all loyal citizens of Ohio,

offices for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Judge
of the Supreme Court, Comptroller, Secretary
of State, and one member of the Board of Pub

To save further trouble in arranging the de-
tails of this important movement, we suggest
that the Convention consist of one delegate for
each thousand of the aggregate vote east iu
each county for Supreme Judge at the last elec-

however, so as to secure not less than two dele

Hear n Vermont Patriot.

The Hon. Paul Dillingham; was nomiA
mated by the Democratic State Convention
of Vermont as party candidate for the
Office of Governor. He has declined 10
accept the nomination in words worthy of
a son of Molly Stark. Read, ponder, and
heed them:
81 know that our party divisions 10 the
start, are not easily forgotten; men be-
come attached to their party-and 1 wish
to cast no reproach upon any-who now
believe that their patriotic efforts for their
country can be rendered more beneficial by
dragging them through old party chan
nels. l Judge differently. Our country,
not party, is in peril, and that country
demands of all its sons, their best judge
ment and efforts in its behalf. in Union
there is strength We all believe in the
truth of this proverb, and if we have a
Union, a strong Union, to effect great
end, it can only be had by carrying into
it perfect equality with confidence. We
must, for the time, forget whether we be
republicans or democrats. In such Un.
ion there will be strength and efficiency,
and, if we differ hereafter. let it not be to
settle the question who did most for his
country-let US act together-act honest
ly, eficiently-and let him wear honors
who fairly wins them. feel very conf
dent that great number-I hope the
majority of all the old parties in this Stats
feel and judge as do, and stand for their
country-one and indivisible-now and
forever. With such mean to act, wheth-
er their number be few or many, till this
most wicked rebellion is crushed out, and,
wishing that my opinions and acts may be
in harmony, / have felt called upon to de.
cline the nomination so honorably rendered
to me-"
Stephen Thomas and James T. Thurstou,
the Democratic nominees for Lieut.. Gov.
ernor and State Treasurer, have also writ
ten to the Chairman of the State Com
mittee, declining to be candidates for sim
liar patriotic reasons.
