The high standing of these men in agri-

the judicious care which Gov Clough hos
exercised. The mere mention of the names
should awaken throughout the entire

glory agricultural and otherwise"
Is 1t not shameful to think of such
men posing as farmers, and speaking in
behalf of their fellow farmers of the
state and the United States? What
would the next congress Of board Of
trade say if the governor should fill
their ranks. not with merchants, but
with a lot Of blacksmiths and shoe
makers?
The whole thing is an outrage; and
we thank God that these chaps had not
the impudence to declare, in the name Of
the farmers, in favor of the destruction
of the greenbacks; the right Of the
courts to repeal all laws; and even for
the overthrow Of the republic and the
establishment Of the empire! For that
is what a great many of these fellows
really have at heart.-I. D.
