could salt be sold here now in the present
condition of our public roads by waggoners
at less than $H.5U per sack, if at any rea

salt of over 50 per cent. What has here

From IS to 22 cents per yard, now it is sold
at from IU to 10 cents, making at least 0
cents per yard difference. This enables
the farmer to save 27 cents on each hale of

The two great elements now wielded By
those who make polities a profession and a
source of profit, are the native patriotism
of the country and the intercuts of that for-
eign population whose " votes " Martin Van
Jiuren very truly predicted would "make
our elections a curse instead of a blessing."
(How truly fulfilled iu the election of l'olk
"iiikteuil' of the immortal Clay !)
These are the two elements upou which
depend the perpetuity or the ruin of a eouu
try made up of amass ai entirely opjo-
site iu their pcr-onal views and natures as
Europeans and Americans ever are and
will be fjr centuries to conic. The selfish el-
emeu', adverse to t tie disinterested patriotism
of Americans hud always been reprobated
by the Whigs previously to the reign of
those great fishermen alter votes, Seward

that in all party nominations the two-thirds
rule should be adopted and whet'ier just

yet here was a caucus of oi.ly 08 out of 66

whilst the whole of the SU was necessary
to his election. To persist in such a nomi
nation under such circumstances, and that
after repeated failures, argued a degree of
