When the war was inauguratcd, most
of our Western farmers were poor and

farm tree from mortgage. To supply
his family with the nocc'sarici,of life,
almost every farmer was compelled to
hypothecatc his crops before they were
gathered, in order that he might OBJ

soon as harvested. they went into the
possession of his creditors to liqulatc
his obligations. In this way he barely

his family, and TO pay the interest on

The people of the North who have

Islands as future home for the negroes
Of our Southern States. The great
bulk of the inhabitants Of Cuba, St.

against convention. The number OF
