Aberdeen Republican,
We are reliably informed that the diff
ferences heretofore existing between Gov
ernor Ames, Senator Alcorn and Hon.
G. G. Mckee, and other prominent Re
pubIicans, have been healed, and that
hereafter all Republicans in the State
will work tremendously together for the
common good of Republicanism. 1t is
understood that Messrs. Wells and Pease
are not included in the reconciliation.
The party will now, we presume, be
re-organized, and put into trim for the
Presidential campaign.

Col. HiIIyard's Immigration Plan

A VERY able letter from Col. M. b,
HilIyard appears in THE CLARION OF the
18th, suggesting plan to fill our State
with immigrants. He proposes to make
every man an immigration agent and
paw him So for every actual settler
brought by him into the State who will
buy forty acres of land and settle on It,
and larger sums for larger purchasers
and further to exempt their lands from
taxation for five years. 1t is worthy o
the attention of our Legislature.-Sum

Columbus Index.
The Legislature is doing its work we'll.
Upon the Senate devolves the duty OF
securing an able, just and infexible judi
ciarY. Certain Radical papers are advo-
eating the re-appointment of Radical ap-
pointees, and we learn that Gov. Ames
has been sending complimentary messages
to some of his judges. This is carrying
out the Republican programme inaugu-
rated at Washington, directing all mem
bers of the Republican party in the
State to make friends and unite for the
coming campaign.
1t would certainly be sad reflection
on the Democratic members of the bar
for Democratic Senate to go into Rad
ical ranks to secure judges. No better
reply could be made to the charges OF
Radical ignorance and corruption, SC
freely INDUCED in by the Democratic
press and orators.

NO Legislature has ever heretofore as
sembled in this State, where so much in

one; and every body should be well post

the only way to keep pace with it, is to
send for The DAILY CLARION.
