plenty Of good looking, hsaithy children
to I'LL the schools. You have churches
enough to give . man choice A. 10 the
gag in which be wishes to walk TO
Heaven; and Sunday schools enough 20
train up the children in the way they
ought 70 go,
The country, too, has improved new
farms ars opened; thousands q fat,
sleek cattle are grazing on your rieA, well
watersd, natural pasture lands. Your
cows look much better than the same
kindof stock In the eastern States; and
the rich milk they give delights = lover
of cream and butter. The chsapnssa and
excellence Of the hams In the stores and
shops show that you must hare plenty Of
good hogs some where-though do not
see them in the city. Yoar farmers raise
cattle and hogs-thas l. eVidsxR-but
where are the Sheep The Pennsylvania
farmers are not satisfied unless they have
cattle, hoga and sheep, This coa@sry is
well adapted 10 sheep EaisingI and am
pleased to bear that at least two Of your
citizens are going into the busl Aess.-
Their example will soon be followed BY
others. The cultivation Of cotton In the
South may receive decided back set by
the breaking up of the labor system OF
that section; or the crops Of the last and
present seasons may be destroyed-so
shas We may have TO lock more to 4linsey
woolsey''-you may have WooiRn fac
tory in time at Council Blaifs. II that
unfinished hotel building in the south
west part Of your city WAS turned into a
factory, it would cease to be used "to
point a moral" against wild specula-
sions.
In eastern Iowa, Learn, that the farm
ers are going into the raising q fax
and improved machines ara being brought
in for preparing the tax for spinning. II
is evident that there shsuld be greater
diversity Of farm labor and production
than there now Is. j few years vii
show a great advancement of tbs agri-
cultural interests of western Iowa
Farmers, as a class, aye, or can be, tht
most independent people in the eommn-
nifty; and as they are independent in &
material sense, they should be SO also il
IL mental and political sense. They should
do their owa thinking, and their dwn vet
ing. They should not DO humbugged b.
dernagogues and speculators. They should
now Labor for the speedy termination Of
this sad var they shaald insist 3poa il
that the President, his Cabinet and Con
gress are bound 10 obey and carry out th,
| Constitution and laws. The farmers
should let il be known that while theJ
will pay taxes incurred for lawful objects
they are unwilling to have their home
stsads mortgaged for al time to come
that the Constitution may be oveEturn ed
slavery abolished, and an Immense
standing army remain IS permanent in
stitation to keep the peace between TIL
North and the South. A little reflection
will Show farmers that the Unioa cannot
| be restored and maintained BY forca
| aIone-there must be assurances that tht
| Constitution will be respeckea-thert
must be justice done-&here must be con
ciiliatiou-thgro must be satisfactory
settlement. The abolition speeches mad,
in Congress, and abolition resolutions
laws and proelamAtionB, have done mor'
to protract the war and destroy ths Union
than could dozen Stonewall Jackson,
with all their fiery valoE and daahint
charges. The farmers should go for th'
| Constitution and the Union, one and In,
separable. The abolitioniss Is q dis
unioniat and traitor as much so as il
the secesaionist.
