The Proprietors of that excellent

to come within the ability of every
Democrat in the land to ~patronizc it.
They will furnish their Daily from

sibility of the proprietors guarantees
the exact fnlfllment of this obliga,

Republicans and Democrats have
thus an opportunity of getting a good
paper on very cheap terms. Copies

GEN. FRANK r. BLAIR.

The Mariposa Mail, Of a late date,
says: When the Confederacy was
overthrown and the South laid down
her arms, Gen. Blair demanded the
restoration of the defeated States to
their Constitutional and natural rights
in the Union. Bat finding that it was
the purpose of the leaders of that
party to keep those States p~erpctually
out of the Union instead of compell-
ing them by force, as has been pre-
tended, to remain in the Union, he at
once abandoned them, and has ever
since opposed and denounced the en-
tire radical policy, and supported, with
all the energy and vigor for which he
is distinguished, the Conservative
policy of restoration under the Con-
stitution, as contra-distinguished from
the Congressional plan of reconstruc.
ton under negro supremacy and mill.
tary rule. Gen. Blair was nominated
as the Democratic candidate for Vice
President with reference to his parti-
san antecedcnts, or his opinions upon
questions that have passed into histo,
ry. Were the war, or the purposes
for which it was waged, still debata.
BILE questions, no anti-war man could
or would support Gen. Blair. But as
those questions can have no bearing
upon the issues now before the world;
and rs Gen. Blair is in full accord
with the Democracy and all other
Conservative and Constitutional mor
on all those great questions upor
which depend not only the restora
ton of free Government in the Nortl
or the South, he will receive, as h
deserves, the most cordial hearty sup
port of every man who would see the
ten millions of his fellow countrymer
in the South relieved from the occurs
ed despotism and vindictive cruelty
to which they are subjected by n rev
dictionary and usurping Congress.

Quick TRAvELINo.-The following
paragraphs, from the Cheyenne Argus,
are interesting:
"Mr. Stephen Wood, brothcr-in.l law of
Joseph Cornforth, Esq, of this city, has
just made a most remarkably quick trip.
He arrived in Cheyenne on the fourteenth
day after leaving London. The idea of
reaching the Rocky Mountains in a fort.
night from Charing Cross, is something
startling even in these days. One hum
dred and twenty-five years ago. it took
that time from London to Edinburgh.
We are now enabled to take the train
at Council Bluffs, over the great high
way, the Union Pacific Railroad, on Mon
day Morning, attend the theater in Salt
Lake, Saturday night, go to church on
Sunday, and return, be back home the
next Saturday, making the round trip in
eleven days. The Salt Lake mail is now
only five days en- route between Salt
Lake and Council Bluffs, and by the first
of January next, the time will be less
than three days"

~ "The reduction of our nation
al debt has ceased. 1t will be larger
four months hence than it is to-day"
So says Horace Greeley; and of the
truth of what Mr.. Greeley says the
country is every day having peculiar
proof. The national debt is larger, by
nearly forty millions of dollars, than
it was six months ago, and until Con-
gress manages in some way to stop
the enormous expenditures of the
Government, its increase at the rate
of $40,000,000 n month, for the future
is inevitable. The end of the road
which Radicalism is now travelling is
national bankruptcy and ultimate re-
pudiation, out-and-out. On this point
the New York Herald says: "WhiIe
the revenue is declining in every di-
rcction, and nowhere coming up to
the estimates, the expenditures have
been increasing the Treasury is be-
ing depleted aud there is every pros
pect that within a short time the in
come of government will not meet
the demands. If there be not some
radical change for the better oon the
Treasury will be bankrupt. Looking
at the extraordinary proceedings in
Congress on the tax bill, revenue laws
and other financial measures and at
the incapacity of members, VIC fear
the government is approaching finan-
cial ruin. We advise the people to
look out for breakers ahead.-Reokuk

polling place opened in his regimcnta'
headquarters for taking the soldiers

carrying by one majority. No one
missed him from st. Louis until it was

that a man named Warmoth was saic
