The Difference.

Mr.. Russell graphic description of Southern
lie and manners The following closing para

Slavery, which the correspondent so quickly o.
served as he passed along the magnificent wheat
fields, and through the fair, broad prairiee Of
Illinois, to Chicago:
"How pleasant it was to SEQ white faces in
the fields. to gaze on the waving corn, and on
the martial rows of wheat sheafs to behold

COUNTY CONVENTION. We trust the Rcpub-
leans of the County will keep in mind the Con-
venton here next Saturday There ought, and
we hope there will be a full attendance. Doubt
less many Republicans think that some Demo
Gratis should be put upon the ticket, and if
there are any such, We hope the matter may be
fully and freely discussed in the Convention
Whatever result the Convention may reach in
this particular will unquestionably be generally
satisfactory, provided the people attend as they
,hould. Men are now Of less consequence than
principles in politics, and we trust the Repub
licans of Washington County may now adhere
to their principles, whatever may, from notions
of temporary expediency, be thought advisable
respecting nominations.
