VALANDIGHAM FUND.-MR. EDIToR:-
Through the columns of your paper would
respectfully report to the Democratic Ladies
of Hardy township, the following monies
received by me from the different commit
tees Of school districts of this township,
for the benefit of Mr. Nalandigham; who
as one of our best and patriotic citizens has
been banished from his family and State in
violation of all law and constitution The
amount solicited was merely dime; and
never was money more freely given as you
will see by the contributions. In many in
stances five, and even ten times the amount
asked for was given; were it necessary we
could double the amount in this township
alone. To the few gentlemen who contrib
uted their mite to the Ladies Vallandig-
ham Fund.-" the Ladies of Hardy township
return-their sincere thanks

NEW VOLUME. This week We com.
mencc n new volume Of The Fhrmcr The
paper has just finished the 37th year Of its
existence. Although the past year has been
an exceedingly hard one on most ncwspa-
pcrs, and many have gone the way Of the
unfortunate, the FARMER still prospcrs. .--
Politically, we have endoavorcd 70 keep up
to the full standard Of the Democratic faith:
standing firm for the rights of the people.
against the insidous efforts of those who
aim 10 destroy them The constitution has
been our glide thus far through the storm
OF ianaticism that has been threatening our
government with destruction, and our guide
1t shallcontinue to be Tho liberties of the
people, and the restoration Of our govern
mcnt to what it was in its days of purity
and prosperity, are dear to us, "a they are
TO every American heart, ,--and we shall con
tinue to do battle for the one, and advocate
the other, until the gloom and darkness of
the dreadful night that hangs like pail
over our country, shall have passed away,
and the dawnng Of the morning shall come,
hcralding return to reason on the part Of
those who have given way to folly and mad
ness The success of the Democratic par
ty, is the success of constitutional liberty
We shall labor with unccasing ygor for
strength IN its counsels, for frmncss in its
position, and for its final victory over its
foes. Let the Democracy be true to itself,
true to its ancient land marks, true to the
principles Of its founders turning neither
to the right nor the left from fear or for
favor, and all will be we'll
We have entered upon year that will be
one of interest, to the Democracy the
whole people. The fate of the republic will
be decided within that time. High aboIo
the clash Of arms between the contending
forces Of the north and the south. will be
heard the battle for political a5cendency in
the north The noble Democracy, support
ing the constitution upon which the Union
must be restored with Liberty and Union
emDlaSoned upon its banner, will be found
with unbroken front, opposing the deStruc-
tlyes Of our government The opposition,
with the power of the army and the infu-
encc Of Il corrupt treasury department in its
own hands, will.lcave no stone unturned to
defeat the people. In this great struggle
the FARMER will continue to act with the
Democracy, the true friends of the Union,
and look to them for encouragement and
support.

cd most base and infamous libel upon the
editor of the FARMER, whereupon we ad-
dressed him note, informing him that he
had thrown himself liable to both civil and
criminal prosecution, and that unless he re-
tracted we would seek such redress as the
law afforded The Republican of last week
contained the following:
KICKED BEFORE He WAS SpURED. In
our last issue, in reply to the editor Of the
Farmers remarks about what he considers
course classed us among that great body,
we referred to what some people call a
Democratic feat performed in New Lis

upon him. We did not charge or intend tc
charge him with the act.
We fear manywiil think Mr.. Griffith lied
out Of this scrape If so, he got out the
