Friends Of Farmers

The uprising of the farmers in the West
has taken all by surprise so gigantic is the
movement and ,O earnest those engaged
IN It. T. to this time, the farmers have
labOred under every disadvantage. promi-
neut among which was the fact that they
did not know who their friends were or
whom they could trust, a. consequence.
they have been led into many mistakes by
embracing all who protcsscd friendship for
their cause. Now that their object is az
parent, aud they begin tn talk their sent-
mcuts out loud. those whom policy or in
tere,t have drawn into the fight begin o.
show the true spirit that animated them.
The following extract from the tteneSeo
Rfpublir lets food otlight on the subject.
We commend it to the careful considcra-
ton Of those who are in earnest in this
contest and have determined to leave no
means mtried that will tend to improve
their condition. and bring them fair re
muueratiou for their toll aud care Hobbs
