Our friend DR.. Armor, who took out train to
the Gold Mines, early in the spring, loaded with
-four, bacon, etc., we notice has returned-havin g
made the round trip in eixty-t three days. The
Doctor was pleased with the trip and with the
country He speaks in glowing terms of the
richness of the gold mines, and says money is
plenty. He intends to take out another train in
the fall. The Doctor thinks the Arkansas route
one of the finest natural roads he ever travelled.
He saw thousands Of Indians, not one of whom
attempted to modest him; and he considers the
false reports put in circulation every season in
regard to the danger in travelling this route, to be
done by persons in the interest of the Platte
route. DR.. Armor thinks the gold region is the
natural market for the surplus -four and pork
aised in this section of country. His advice
10 our farmers is to raise wheat in abundance
manufacture it into flour, and put their corn into
FORK. and market both -four and pork at the
mountains. He is q gentleman of excellent judg-
uentin such matters, and his advice will have
great weight here. It looks reasonable that the
Gold Mines are the natural market for our produce
because we are nearer to them than any other
arming community.
All those who went out with this train have
cone we'll with their produce; and we regard
heir experiment as the opening up of new era
our farming interests. Thousands of sacks of
four and wagon loads Of pork will be sent out
his fall, and thousands of dollars in money will
brought into the country.

The Topeka State Record advocates the
union of conservative men of all parties in
the formation of State ticket. The reason
why the Record takes this course is because
it is one of the two most sensible papers in
Kansas.-B&rlingtOn Register.
There is another reason for the Records
ANTON proclivities. which the Register may
not have heard of. When We were in Tope-
ka last we were informed, on what We con-
sidered good authority. that the Record es-
Enlistment was about to be sold at sher-
IFS sale. About this time Crawford-who
imagines himself candidate for Governor,
and the leader of the great Union party in
Kansas-came along, and he had no organ
Crawford met Ross, Fletcher & Co., and
they implored him to save the Record
The bargain was closed, the printing Office
saved from the sheriff's hammer until after
the fall election. and the Record immedi-
ately came out for Crawford and advocated
a Union party. Ross has always been one
of the most radical, Incorporating Repub-
licans in the State, and no one need tell rs
that he goes in for the Union movement,
from honest conviction that it is right. Mon
ey is all-powerful, sometimes, you know.

The people in their own city, even, who

We would not be afraid to wager something
valuable, that there will be more wheat raised in
Lyon county this year, than in any three counties
in Southern Kansas, off the Kaw river. This is
no boast. The figures, this fall, if they could be
obtained. would prove it. Farms are plenty
that have from thirty to fifty acres of wheat on
them, large proportion of which is fall wheat.

National parties, whose violence, al times,

the Union and defend the Constitution
They had great respect for the statesmen
and heroes Of the revolution, and above
all revercd and followed the advice Of
Washington. They produced many men
whose names will 60 down to posterity-
respected, honored and loved. Among
no! the leas, Of these we recognize the
name of Daniel Webster, the expounder
OF the Constitution. He was Il great aud
a good man, and evidently exhibited, in
his career, powers of no ordinary charac.
ter, lie saw the symptoms Of the awful
tempest that now envelopes us he felt it
in his utmost soul that there were men
then commencing work that would be
the ruin of the country and the people,
and warned them in the following EN-
phatic sentence :
"If these Internal fanatics and ADO.
LlTlONlSTS ever get power into their
hands, they will override the constitution,
set the supreme court at defiance, change
and make laws to suit themselves, lay
violent hands on those who differ with
them in their opinion or dare question
the infalibIity, and finally bankrupt the
country and deluge it with blood
" Abolitionists Daniel Webster warn
ed US of them! One short sentence out
full OF significance, of truth, aud we might

bankrupt the country, and DEnUGE 1T
WITH BLOOD! The prophecy lie tul

torrent; aud national and individual

yet Daniel Webster, Henry Clay, aud
