US. Senator Matt. Carpenter, from

somewhat similar TO that ofan Indian

that these slaves were now their

vice was to the negroes, to compel a
recognition of that equality OH the
part ofthc whites by arms ii heccs-
sary. He rcproachcd the people with
Incidence, thriftlessncss aud spirit
of sedi,ien. "Thcy busy themselves
too much with politics, they loaf and
rrumble too much, their farms are
too large" &c. lie bids them stay al
home and mind their own business,
and leave the management of public
affairs alone. That there has been
infamous " ork going ON he can't deny,
but he tells them it is none OF their
business to attempt to undo that
work. How maryclously like al
this sounds to the rambling lectures
read to the people of Lafayette coun

Every one should find most profit

sometimes 'imagiues that did his
pe;ohbors do differently without ap-
parent expense or trouble, he could
get along much better: Forinstance,
we have quite number OF exchanges
that we prize for their local news
but in a majority of cases where there
are two in the same town, they are
published either on the same day or
not more than day apart. ihere
are two good papers in Marshall but
both being published on the same
day. one is of little or no interest al
ter we have read the other; SO Ill
Carrollton, in Richmond, i'll Column
bia, in Independence, and other
towns not necessary to mention
Such a thing brings the papers III
direct conflict, whereas could Their
conductors agree to make their issue
a few DAYS apart, they would not only
benefit the community in which they
are doing business, but could help
zach other in the increase of business
il would bring to both. In LcXins-
ton we have three papers all wci!
sustained, and We believe q large
majority ofour town subscribers take
both the other two simply because
they are issued on different days OF
the week, or take ours for that rea-
son. In many cases we have adver-
tisements that would be Of no use OH
Saturday, and there are some we do
not get because our paper is prsh,.o
in the middle of the week. DIG
all the papers in this city make thei'
appearance OH the same day OF th'
week, not more than two-thirds o
the aggregate business would be dom
by them. Take counsel, gentlemen
disagree as much as you like i'll poll
tics, an prices, or anything that VII
furnish discussion. but for the homo
of the craft don't cut each Others

munity i. which you are doing bus'

To Farmers.

Certain parties representing third
class rcaprrs, for the want of some
tangible reason TO tin,l fault with the
machines they dread mere than all
others, aro representing that we can
only scii to thlrd-ratc customers, and
on long lime. To convince those
agents that they are misreprescnting
us. and for the benefit of farmers,
we offer our machines on trial du-
ring the entire harvest with any other
machine, the farmer using each ma
chine equally, cutting one-half OF his
grass and one-halfof his grain with
each machine, and settle for the one
/ referred at the end of the harvest.
iGnis will give agents a good chance
to convince the farmers that they
have the best machines.

Death of DR.. Aulf.
From the san Francisco Examiner.

r.b.u AK iabtaoSo i-Asi'itiSi.
DR.. T. II. Aull died as Modesto on
the z4t., instant. Wherever the Doctor
was known the announcement of his
death will carry with it sorrow and regret.
The News, on announcing his death,
thusspeaks of the deceased: In all the
attributes of true gentleman he stood
preeminently high. Courtesy, poli,cness
and genuine hospitality, combined with
answering integrity, devotion to what
he believed to be right, never failed in
commanding for him thar reverence and
respect due him from all with whom he
came in contact. The Doctor was a
native of Kentucky, but cmigratcd to
Missouri at an carly day, and was twice a
Representative of the Legislature of that
state. He emigra;ed from Missouri to
California, bringing his family with him,
in the year 1852, when he settled in
Yuba county. Subsequently he removed
to the -orthern part of San Joaquin cum
ty, which he represented in the State
Legislature in 1857. He resided in that
county until last Summer, at which time
he moved to this place. He leaves
a wife and large family of children to
mourn his loss"
