: "Voices from the Crorc fl."
It is said by the opponents -pi Mr.
Douglas both the Republicans and Disun-
" ionists that the South will not support him:
We are of the opinion that the masses both
in the Southern States as well as in the
. North, are disposed to occupy national
grounds and support a national man
Mr. Douglas." As evidence cf our posi
tion, we extract from a few cf th thousand
articles and letters in favor cf Douglas:
:Thc Chickasaw (Miss.) Advertiser has
dq very good opinion of the disunion move
menss cf Yancey & Co. After reading
thera a severe, though just, lecture for
. their desertion of the State rights doctrines
embodied in the Cincinnati Platform, and
for theifc personal and factious opposition
to Senator Douglas, the Advertiser closes
"as follows :
"Stephen A. Douglas may be defeated,
the foundation of this Union may be sha
ken from centre to circumference, yea, it
may be sundered, and civil war, like a
lalcful simocn. sweep over the country
and drench its.nills and vales with f rater
' cal Mood, yet these calamities (which
may Ilearen. avert) canno: dirprove the
jrovernment
truth -of that principle 't
which Mr. Djuglas advocates that prin
ciple cf self government, in defense of
which the colonies revolted rom their
mother country and united in a pledge of
Jife, liberty and sacred honor," upon the
fearful issues cf war, and over which they
triumphed and achieved for themselves
and posterity a victory which the gratitude
cf 'humanity can' alone requite. Venal
politicians may prejudice the minds cf men
against it but time, the impartial arbiter
pf human acts,' will place it upon that el
evation from which it w ill be s -cn to en

Iu 1776 the people of our country indors
ed it; in 1S5G their dependents reindorscd
it; but, whether amid the chaos, which in
the politics of our country is becoming
more confounded, this principle will ever
again be indorted, is known only to Him
who kuows all thing. Indeed, the polit
ical horizon is dark lowering clouds are
gathering which betoken a storm -which
the peace of our country cannot survive.
"In this dark hour of our political adversi

on the part of tho scceders is as much a

"They voted for Douglas from first to
last, and will continue the process as soon
as the Baltimore Convention will allow
them to resume. They have taken their
stand in the light cf an intensely earnest
popular sentiment; and we do not believe
thai any political combination can be made
strong enough to drive them from their
position. . They hare obeyed the popular
will, and have shown themselves in their
integrity and unalterable firmness worthy
the entire confidence of the Democratic
party. The Democracy of the Empire
State could not have selected a more fear
less and incorruptible tet of men to rep
resent tht in in ihe Convention. That
they comprehend the necessities cf the
Democratic party has beuv clearly dem
enstrated, and that they had the integri
ty and courage to" respond to those neces
sities, must be patent to the most careless
looker-on." . - ?
! The Baltimore Despatch' after giving
the seceders a most bitter scathing, says:
'Douglas is the man of the people
because he is from the people and be
cause he is the ardent defender of the
principles the people love. :. Hence he is
hated by the arrogant, would-be lordlings,
who: have nothing to sustain thera, but
overbearing pretensions, andsuccess in
plundering the country. They denounce
Douglas, because they know he is not of
their tribe of political gamblers.
We hope that his friends will stand like
faithful men to their position. If they
yield now, the independence cf the coun
try is lost forever; and submitting to the
despotism of men who are determined to
rule or ruin, must sink a withered and
defpised thing, to everlasting contempt."
Docclas w Alabama. -A private
letter received from Athens, Alabama,
says: "Douglas, if nominated, will beat
any opposing candidate in this country,

On the Sth instant a large number of
lea ling Democrats of Worcester, Mass.,
accompanied by the National Band, pro
ceeJed to the residence of their delegate
to tht,1 Charleston Convention,' to compli
ment him upon his faithful adherence to
the candidate of their choice for President
Stephen A. Douglas. Mr. J. McCaf
ferty, who addressed Mr. Gill, spoke of
Mr. Douglas as nearly the unanimous
choice cf the Democracy of the North,
and especially cf Massachusetts, for the
Presidency. A. Y. Herald.
A writer from Jackson County (Ala.)
to the editor of the Montgomery Confed
eration, writes:
"I do not believe, upon a fair and cpen
issue before the people, that there will
turn out one hundred votes in this county
in favor of sending dtdegites to the disun
ion Convention at Richmond. Wc are
all on one side up here, sure. . We tuck
to the old Democratic thip of the Union,
and will fight for it. . If South Alabama
wants to leave the Union, she will have
to go without North Alabama." .
The Augusta, (Ga.) Constitutionalist,
says: .
"Mr. Douglas has got rid cf the fac-tioni.-ts,
and having received one hundred
and fifty.two votes. wliH'h is a majority,
he is nominated by two-thirds. , We now
believe that the nominee of the party in
National Convention, and the next Pres
ident cf the United State, will be Stephen
A. Douglas, of Illinois."
By this it would seem thst the whole
Republican party, and the Southern di

Tiie HiIitWopd Iu liie BAzbt Place
I We like the remarks of lion. F. B. Cut
ting, who presided at a Douglas meeting at
New York, cn the 22d, and who made a
most eloquent speech, closing .with .the
following words :
"Gentlemen, we mean one thing, and
only one thing. We are for Douglas.

but the Southif they wish a" powerful

will give the people of the North that

march to victory." Three tremendous
cheers were here givenfor Douglas.
That the talk. . Mr. Douglas is the
choice of the Democracy; he was fairly
nominated at Charleston, notwithstand
ing the Southern shve-codite?, and Sli-

should now listen .to no compromise that
would rule him cut. . ,
Still "In t!icSame Bed."
Some time ao our rood natured towns
man, '-Brownville," the correspondent of
the Nemaha City IJyald, took us to task
for saying that ultra RepublNrans, and
fire-eating Southerners occupy the same
bed as to the great .question of. the day.
We have another instance in support , of
our assertion. -At-the. Charleston Con
vention, the fire-eating'secesstonists made
an effbrtfiiif failed -o ' strike out the
word "National," before the word Dem
ocracy, so that it would read "the Democ
racy of the country," instead of "the
National Democracy."
In the course of the debate in the Chi
cngo Convention on ths platform, Judge
Jessnp, the Chairman cf the Committee
that reported it, desired to amend "a ver

accordingly made, and the word "Na-
Tliose Rails.
In regard to the 3.000 rails made by
"Abe" Lincoln in his younger days, we
extract from an Illinois, letter writer to
.the St. Joseph Gazette:- '
Ny4Those three thousand rails that Lin
coln'tfplit are turned to good account. The
individual , who happens to own the farm
upon which those rails are, (by the way,
a Democrat "of. somewhat speculative
turn,) wholesales them to the Liucoluites
at the following rates :
Large rails at 10 each; small, So;
broken, S2 50; large splinters, 50 ; de
cayed scraps, pieces cf bark, etc., 10c.
Retad dealers secure" some portion of
this commodity, and fashion it into various
devices for the market. Some of the
rails are simply cut up into billets, six to
ten inches long, left in the rough, and
sold at 62 each ; others become canes,
handy billeys, clubs, whip i and knife
handles," combs, breast-pins, tooth-picks,
shoe-pegs, etc., etc., to say nothing of
larger articles, such as sofas, chairs, wig
wams, etc."
Wliy Bout (hey Come West?
Last month we made a hasty trip east,
through the States of Missouri, Illiuois,
Indiana, Ohio,' Pennsylvania, Virginia,
and Maryland, Of course, traveling by
Railway, we had not - the opportunity to
gratify a desire to know in detail in re
gard to the country, agriculturally. ; Yet
we weie a close observer, and did not
fail to form a general idea. We confess
to utter astonishment that so many peo
ple in the older States in the mountains
and heavy timbered countries yet re
main in ignorance as to the vast extent
of rich uncultivated lands on our western
prairies, which have been waiting pa
tiently for ages to pour into industry's
lap an hundred fold, for labor expended.
How manyjhousands of young men are
there yet childishly content to remain
near "father," and as each marries, squats
upon 25 or 30 acres of "father's" farm,
known only as the son or sons of Fann
er "so and so," waiting for the old gen
tleman to die, and the old homestead, of
perhaps two hundred acres, to be divided
up among eight or ten children ! How
many are content to toil away on fifty or
sixty acres of land so stony that each year
there is sufficient gotten ofl" it to almost
fence it! How many are yet content to
carve farms out of the heavy forests, to
do which wears one entirely out by the
timehe has a reasonable sized farm un
der successful cultivation. With a per
sonal and intimate knowledge of our prai
rie lands, in quality of soil, the richest
on God's footstool, and where, in two
years' time, at farthest, any industrious
farmer can have a farm of from one to
two hundred acres in the best of order,
without a stump or stone, and giving a
yield equal, to say the least, to the best
cultivated lands in old States ; we repeat,
we are at a loss to know why more peo
ple from the over-crowded cast, do not
"come weit." The . cost of a Nebraska
farm, of such as we speak, will not ex
ceed SS per acre. We speak of course
of tho land ; the cost cf buildings de

From telegraphic messages received
late la&t night and this morning, we learn
the following further particulars of the
tornado on Sunday eveniug: '
The first part of it was between Mari
on and Cedar Rapids, in Linn couuty,
Iowa, going north west and south east in
three different veins, crossing the track
of. the Chicago, Iowa and Nebraska Rail
road several times.
At Lisbon station the depot buildings
and all the warehouses in the village were
completely demolished.. A. train of ten
freight cars, heavily, loaded, was lifted
bodily from the track and dashed to
pieces. Before reaching here we learned
that sixteen persons were killed. From
this point one vein of the storm passed
north of Mecharnerolle, demolishing eve
rything in its course, and killing sixteen
persons. The rest took in its course
Union Grove, killing in this vicinity
seventeen persons. It then passed south
of the railroad, near De.Wiit, killing
twenty-seven . persons, sixteen of ihun
belonging to the family of Thomas Hat
field. It then passed south of Romessa and
Lowmore, destroying the House of David
Willard, killing him and a portion of his
family.
It then struck the town of Camanche,
on the Mississippi river, at which point
the loss f Hfe-is much greater than at
first stated. - From all accounts it rannot

Joan Gillespie, Secretary.
Captain Craig. ,
During our stay at Washington,-we
stopped at the Hotel where the distin
guished representative from this District,
with his family were staying, and we want
in an especial maimer to say, that no one
ever treated us better anywhere than
Capt. Craig and hi3 estimable lady. In
fact this is the feeling of all cf the citi
zens of this District, who vi;it Washing
ton. He, is unremitting in his attentions
to his constituents and their business, with
out regard to their politics. We heard
members of Congress, cf -all political
shades express themselves in regard to
him', and they all concurred in the opinion
that no single member occupied so influ
ential a position in the Departments and
with the business before the committees
than the Captain, and that he did more
hard work than any member in Congress.
His correspondence is immense, and he
manages to get through with it. It is a
source of regret, that in these latter days,
that the principle of rotation has become
so absolute, that so soon as a gentleman
gets in a position to be useful, that he
must give place to ambitious aspirants. -The
principle in this District is to work
great injury just at this juncture, and par
ticularly. will t. Joseph be the loser by
it." Craig understands precisely tht; pos
ture of all the measures by which the in
terests of this section are to be promoted,
and we regard it as extremely unfortunate
that Judge Norton's ambition could not
be satisfied with the Judgship to the end
of the t;rm for which he was elected.
It deprives the District of the services of
a valuable and well tried representative,
so much needed at this particular time.

The meeting organized by electing
John P. Baker to the Chair, and appoint
ing John Gillespie Secretary.
On request of the meeting Dr. J. Mc
Pherson read the Platform adopted by
the Republican National Convention at
Chicago.
Wm. Polock, T. R. Fisher and M. W.
Stowell were appointed by the Chair a
Committee to draft resolutions expressive
of the sense of the meeting.
In the- absence of the Committee,
Messrs. Thompson and Gillespie, being
called upon, briefly addressed the meet

dressed the meeting at length, and in a
humorous and telling manner reviewed
the report of the Committee-of-trlrctimis
in the case between Daily and Eatabrook;
after which the Committee on resolutions
reported the following:
Resolved, That we endorse the language
of Wm. H. Seward when he says "No
truer exposition of the Republican creed
could be given than i's contained in the
nattorni adopted by the Chicago Conven
tioix No truer or firmer defenders of
the Republican faith could have been
fouud in the Uuiou, than the distinguish
ed and esteemed citizens on whom ihe
honors of the nominatiuns have 1 alien.
Their election we trust by a decisive
majority will restore the government of
the United States to its constitutional and
ancieut course. Let the watchward of
the Republican party then be. Union and
Liberty, and onward to.victory.
Resolved, That the.exiravagant sq.ua n
denng of the people's money; the intol
erant proscription for differences of opin
ion; and the corrupt bribery of the pres
ent administration have never before been
equalled, and are a disgrace to Republi
can institutions.
Resolved, That we look with sorrow
and indiguation, at the executive and oth
er official interference, as committed dur
ing our last Delegate election, oud we
believe it the duty of ail honorable men
whhoat distinction of party, to brand them
as subversive of the dearest rights of
American citizens.

those who manage it right: "Last sea
son I sheared 250 sheep; the wool sold
for $-552. I have, sold within the year
177 she ?p, which is about equal to the
number of lambs raised, for S314, inak
wrr S1.C6G. My sheep are of the Span
ish Merino breed, . nnd mostly ewes; a
few bucks and weathers.. I have kept
sheep for the last tvfenty years, and con
sider it the nost profitable business that
a farmer can engage in."
Samuel Toms, of Elyria, O., says:
"I keep on my farm SO sheep; my sale
of wool amounting to S105; sold ten fat
sheep, S90; fifteen ewea, one ram, 310;
three ewe lambs, one ram. S1G5; pre
miums at National and State Fairs, S410.
I have now on hand SO sheep my flock
is of the pure Southdown and Leicester
shire breeds, mostly Southdowns

It is poor economy to plant more land
than can be cultivated well. It is better
to raise 3,000 bushels of corn upon fifty
acres of land than upon one hundred, be
cause it is better to expose fifty acres to
wear and waste, than one hundred acres
in securing the same amount of corn.
