Eina ncial and Commercial.

FRIDAY, Nov. 5, 1860.
The plea of necessity Las crammcd
down the throats Of the American
people during the past eight years
more financial hcrcsics than any pre-
ceding eight years since the days Of
George Law, and the people while
grumbling over their high taxes and
the deprecated prices Of their labor
and its products, have nearly come
to the conclusion that it is not only
hard but useless to "kick against the
pricks." Almost drawn into. the
mae'stroom of commercial disaster
and ruin, financial quacks insist that
neither divine wisdom nor financial
knowledge could have devised any
escape from our financial difficulties.
There arc at least two courses that
might have been pursued that would
have avoided the dangers that threat
en- to engulph the country. One of
these was to have maintained specie
payments, the other was to have let
the States furnished the currency.
This would have prevented the in
f'ation Of prices that the financial
buoyancc of he greenLack currency
created, and have enabled the Gov
ernm ent to carried OH the contest for
supremacy at about one fourth the cos.
incurred. The people would have
complained Of hard times but there
would have been forced economy then
and but little or no public debt now.
But all these evils that could have
been averted, were not because ma
tional debt was esteemed national
blessing by men who then controlled
the financial situation, aud what
"might have bcen,' is useful now,
not to remedy the public calamitics,
but to avoid others as great, in tho
future. The experience Of the past
with its bitter fruits may be now al
leviated in measure, but not by
paying premium on government
bonds that have several years to run
while tho maturcd bonds remain un-
paid. Nor will a return to specie
payments now afford any alienation
of our troubles, but rather tend to
their augmentation. .m
What the people need is more cur
rcncy. not only to meet their lisbili-
ties but to move the immense prod.
ucts of the west. Farmers are COM
planning of hard times and justly so
too, for the price of their grain is
extremely low, but how they can REM
dy the times by keeping their grain
and continuing to owe their debts is o

NV father and mother were setting

Grandma Hunter stopped speaking,

tardy action in bring ing her ball of yarn
while Ned fixed her footstool nicely, and
Alice took off her snowy cap and began
to comb out her long, silvery hair, which

A Glascoe paper gives to. the public an
interesting letter, never before published,
written many years ago by Thos. Car

such questions is to get it well put to

their life and its duties may be attended

questions in this, our earthly existence, ARE
many. "There are two things" says the
German philosopher, ''that strike me

county seat. Quite stir is being raised
here on account of trying to move the
seat of government to Atlantic, about 10
miles north of here. The people here
are mostly from the eastern states, and
are live and energetic set of people,
and are determined to make it one of
the richest counties in the state. Bust
ness is good. all owing to the vast amount
of emigrants which are pouring in. Ev
cry day the roads are lined with covered
wagons, which ara vending their way
through this village seeking the cheap
lands of Iowa, and desiring to make
good and beautiful towns for their chill
dren, and also for themselves rs they
advance in years. The government lands
have been all taken up in this section of
the county, and persons wishing to pur-
chase now have to buy second hand at
slight advance on the old price, (Sl.25
per acre).
The crop in this section never looked
better than at present. Wheat is about
10 inches high, and corn is now ready
for the plough, at which the farmers are
busily engaged. The grass hopper pest
which infected the country last year, has
nearly disappeared.
One thing in which Iowa leads the van
is Republicanism, which, instead OF
decreasing, Is on the increase.
The school law of the state is good,
and the advantages of education never
was surpassed.
The prohibition law is in full sway;
but, sorry to say, is not so strictly en-
forced but that those wishing s'smile'
can get it.
Fearing that 1 will take too much
space. and tire your readers, l will close
but with reluctance, as could not say
enough in praise of this neble state.

TRUE LovE.-One quiet day in the

meath the moon. The night was fair
so was the maid. They walked and
talked beneath the shade, with none TO
harm or make af. aid. Her name was
Sue and his was Jim; and he was fat
and she was slim; he took to her and she
TO him. Says Jim to Sue, "By all he
snakes, the hush and brakes. love you

Jim, "Since you've begun it, and been
and come and gone aud done it, like
you next to a new bonnet" Says Jim
to Sue, "My heart you've busted; but l
have always gals mistrusted." Says Sue
TO Jim, 81 will be true, if you love me
as love you, no knife can cut our love
in two Says Jim to Sue, Through
thick and thin, for your true love. please
count me in; I'll court no other gal agin."
Jim leaned to Sue; Sue leaned to Jim;
bis nose just touched the jocky brim.-
Four lips mei--went ahem-ahem! and
then-and then-and then! Oh, girls,
beware of men in June. and underneath
