The fact that Mr.. Ferry, President

of such returns, is regarded by many
as proof conclusive that he does not
believe that he has the right to count
the vote when the two houses are as
sembled in joint convention on the
second Wednesday in February, aud
that he has no Intention of exercising
the power conferred upon him in the
estimation of some by the Constitution
of the United States Mr. Ferry has
carefully,i efrained from indicating hts
course in the matter of counting the
votes, and consequently rumors as to
what he will and what he will not do.

Should he give two receiptsin the case

sustain Your county Town.

/ ShSSGtAn AOuh AOOAhiJ
There are many reasons why farm
ers should sustain their county town,
and no good ones why they should
oppose its prosperity. Yet, it is not
unlrequently the case, that farmers are
absolutely iuimical to towns and town
people.
. Towns bring consumers to the farm
ers door. If his corn, his wheat, his
cotton, has to be shipped to the Allan
tic coast, or to Europe, the price Of
shipment is deducted from his pay
Whatever part of that price is charged
to the foreign consumer, the foreign
consumer adds to the price of his man
ufactures; and the farmer has to pay il
in the end The practical effect, then
of the home market afforded by abund-
ant population, is at once to raise the
price of agricultural products aud to
decrease the cost of manufactured ar
ticles; add, however divided, the net
gain is just that of the expense Of
transportation saved No farmer ever
used Indian corn for fuel, Gas has been
not uufrequently the case in the WesD
where Furnishing town, Immediately
surrounding him, stood ready to con
sumo the products which their own
avocations forbade them to raise.
a home market implies opportunity
Of carried production. Oue mans
land is best adapted to corn, another
to wheat, another to cotton, another to
market gardening. Or single farm
presents facilities for the raising of
several crops. But the tide of com
merce flows in broad streams. In a
country supplying foreign market,
the factors of each product of the soil
operate in their chosen fields; and the
adventurous farmer who plants ANOTHER
crop than that for which they call,
finds himself Without a buyer, or deals
on a small scale, aud at consequent
disadvantage, with distant purchasers
Where the consumption is at home,
scarce crop that can be mentioned
but finds its ready sale at his own
doors
. 1t Is perfectly juslifable and natu
raj for farmers to throw their patron
age and Influence to that town which
exhibits the most enterprise and liber
atty, in preference to the one that
pursues a close-"make all policy.

him if the reports were true that the
arsenal at ST. Louis had been disman

neighbor within one and half miles
of me had lot and sold at 80 aud 80
