THE MISSOURI SLOPE.

No section Of the i!limItable ''great west'
offers as great Inducements to those con-
temp,ating removal to the "Western
Praries," as western Iowa. Land can be
bought here cheaper than il can be in the new
Territories. The soil is as rich as any on
the habtabIo Globe-and the purchaser
will not be subject to the many inconven-
fences and deprivations usually attendant
upon settling in a new Territory. On this
subject, the Magnolia Republican has
the following well-oonsidered remarks
There is plenty of room here, and no one
need be idle, or out of employment. Me-
chancs and laborers can fnd plenty Of work
and they are just the kind of men that are
wanted in the West. No man, who has
good health and is industrious and willing
to work, need be here two years ere he may
have a good home for himself and family,
aud maao good living in tho moontimo.
Land can be bought cheaper now than it
could three years ago, because land specu-
lators are about all left, and actual settlers
have now got possession in their stead.
When the Railroads are completed this far
land will command handsome figures. The
soil is rich, and very productive. All kinds
Of grain, such as corn, wheat, oats, barley,
rye. sc, and all kinds of vegetables com
monty grown in a northern climate, grow
here in great abundance and with compari-
lively little labor to cultivate them. Sugar
cane does we'll in this country, and the
farmers are mostly getting to make their
own sugar and moasses; by this means
keeping a great deal of money here which
would otherwise be taken out of the country.
There is but little tame fruit here yet, but
it's place is supplied with wild fruit, which
grows here in abundance. The farmers
will find no difficulty in selling all the grain
and produce they may have to dispose of,
at good cash prices; for the immense tide
Of emigration that is continually flowing
westward, right through our immediate
vicinity, will take off all the produce the
farmers may have to dispose of.

result Of the late elections in New York and
New Hampshire, We hope, has convinced
these fshy ,ricksters tha, the great mass of
the voters who marched to victory under
the folds of the Republican banner, are
men who act, not from impulse, bu, from
a conscientious desire to uphold what thew
deem to be right, and for the best interests
of the Republic. The suicidal and insane
course parsaed by the Southern States, in
refusing to acquiesce in the vii. Of the ma
jority, constitu'ionally expressed, can have
but little influence in shaping the actions Of
men who, "knowiug their rights, dare main.
tain them.' This fact is fully proven by
the recent elections in the States aforemen-
toned. In New Hampshire, the Republi.
can candidate for Governor is elected by
an increased Republican majority. The
Legislature is overwhelmingly Republican,
and all the Republican candidates for Con-
gress are elected! In New York, the Re-
puJlicans seem TO have been unusually sue
eessfu! in their town and city elections. In
nearly all the towns and cities, there is an
increased Republican vote! Republicauism

care. and without waiting for an expression
ef opinion by others, we give our sentiments.
Let the numerous readers Of this paper at.
tentiyely peruse this document. and not rely
upon the false and exaggerated notices OF
ii, ia telegranhic dispatches and violent
southern papers, whose partisan prejudiccs,
and bitter hostilities forbid their doing ,ts
author justice. One Of the anpardcnsbls
faisehoeds travelling around is, that the

aagural is a true Indication Of the character
Of his coming Administration, all good and

Let us, then, of the Border States, patiently

The Cincinnati haqnirer, ike several 9TH
er Democratic journals with recession sym
pathies, has been grumbling immoderately
at the Presidents recent Inaugural. The
Gazette of that city thus handsomely makes
a proposition which will very etfectually ST.
lencc the Inquirer gun: The Inquirer has
found fault with the inaugural address Of
Mr.. LINCOLN, and having criticised the doc
ument, and discovered wherein it supposes
the President has erred, it is to be presum-
ed tina. it considers itself competent to pro-
duce paper adapted to the times. We are
therefore authorized to offer one hundred
dollars to the editor Of that paper. If he
will write and publish al Inaugural Address
that shall prove satisfactory to The Demo
cratic party, treating upon the same sub Icc:
and occupying the same space as Mr.. LIN
coLS's address. This offer is made in good

No State in the Union has furnished a
larger proportion of the promnen: public
men of the present time, than the State Of
Kentucky. President Davis was born in
Todd county, in 1908. President Lincoln
was born in Hardin county. in 1909. Ex-
Vice President Breckenridge. was born in
Fayette county, in 1921. John J. Crittcn-
den, the great compromiser, was born in
Woodford county. in 1882. Joseph Holt,
late Secretary Of War, is a native Of Breck
inridge county. Major Anderson was born
in Kentucky in 1876. General Haruey,
Mr.. Preston, Minister to Spain, and Sena.
tor Sebastian, are also Kentuekiaus.

Mr.. sEwARD's PEACE POLICY.

The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore American writes:
The understanding this evening is that
the evacuation of Fort Sumter is the frs.
movement in the peace policy of Mr.. Seward,
and is made in advance of any demand on
the Administration, as a peace offering to
the excited South, and in acknowledgement
of the UnIon sentiment of the Border States.
The mode of evacuation is said to be con-
ted TO Major Anderson, who is to notify
the military authorities of South Carolina
,ha, on certain day fixed, he shall with
draw from Sumter, leaving it in possession
of c3rpoFa's guard, merely for the pro-
tection of the property. 1t will then
remain with the CarolIniaps as to whether
they will leave it thus tacitly in the pos
session Of the United States, or demand a
surrender from the guards, take down the
Amsrican.hag and run up the Palmetto, or
rather the seven stars and stripes.
The rumor gives much dissatisfaction to
the extremists of the North, as it does also
to the Secessionists. Ii will probably be
followed by a refusal to treat with the
Southern Commissioners, or to receive hem
in any otser capacity than pirate citizens
Of their respective States. To the rnion
men from the Border States it gives general
satisfaction, and is regarded as evineing a
disposition for concession ard peace iha;
will strengthen the Union ranks in ali the
Southern States, from the Potomac to the
Gulf. The Secessionists intimate that it il
an act Of eoxaFdice. and the Northern ex-
treulIsts boot the proposition as humblIng
the nation to the demand Of armed traitors.
Mr.. Stewards policy is that secession will
die out If left to itself, and ali Irritating
non-essentials avoided by the Government.
lie thinks that if the people in the Cotton
States have no cause to concentrate ihsii
aaimosits asaiastrhe Government al Wash
ingtcn it will soon develop Itself asains; toe

EMPHATIC AND TO TIE POINT.

The Cincinnati Commercial in rebukiug
the Democratic Enquirer, for its gross mis-
representations OF Mr.. Liacoln's Inaugural,
says:
The man who is not now sohcitous that
President Lincoln shall have far play in
administering the government, and who does
not most earnestly wish him success, is a
seoundre and Tory. Nothing
more is claimed for Mr.. Lincoln than the
right Of fair play. That, common sense
and patri otism demand be should have; and
the Tories who would have the government
abandoned, and join the thieves aud traitors.
who have robbed the national arseDalS and
sub treasures and violated their oaths, in
every unseemly demonstration Of hatred
toward the Chief Magistrate, will be, as
they ought to be. put under the contempt Of
an indignant people.

PROGRESS OF THE COMMERCIAL REvUL-

In referring few days since to the effect of the
political crisis upon commercial affairs, indicated
by the number of failures in the United States for
the month of January, table of failures was
incomplete, and did not embrace the entire coun-
try; but have obtained list of failures for that
month from the Commercial Agency of Dunn,
Boyd Company, the branches ofwhich extend to
the remotest parts of the country, thus enabling
them to command the fullest information, by
means of system which works with the accuracy
of perfect machine; and it appears, from this
statement that the aggregate of failures for the
last month was as high as $50 in the United States,
and SO in the British provinces making a total of
S92 failures in the first month of the present year
These failures were divided between the States as
