Let the past be remembered as a lesson for the future, and hereafter we trust the citizens Doni I then every one was indebted to the I banks and the banks to foreign while woWthe indebtedness -is pretty well paid off, and yon only need assistance to go on and ira- lour mechanics and laborinsr men growl at the low rates of wages', but they know not of the superior advantages they possess over their fellow craftsmen here. The closest observers all predict that the suffering among the mechanics and day-laborers 'n the cities, the com ing, will be far greater than' last winter all kinds 'of employment are dull, every branch' of trade c-niet all persons dependent upon their day's labor for their support, are receiving less hopes than last year, hardly enough' to pay their present expenses, and they have spent prodigally their surplus funds, living in tho expectation that times were improving.

You thus peceive that winter is when the chances for work will be lessened, and that suffering is almost certain to follow. From all I see, I feel sure that class will see better times at th6 West sooner than here and there they best remain. I think too, that this will increase the emigration best the ensueinsr spring. If the severe lesson inculcated by the past 12 months' experience be not forgotton, and our mechanics and laborers, aa well as all dependent on salaries, but learn economy, all will be better off for the trial, a few years hence. Crops here are poor; the sum mer has been, cold and wet the corn is unmatured and the potatoes rotting.

Much of the supply for this section must come from the West, which will keep up prices with you. We need a protective tariff to create a home demand for our. agricultural products; all can not be farmers, for then there would be no it takes off the profits to ship to Europe the only market to be relied upon, therefore, must be a home one to create this we must have a protective tariff to induce manufacturing and enable ii 10 Jive inrougn its inrancy. it 13 the only true policy for the West, and they will not be strong and in dependent until they learn the fact; indeed, it is the true policy for the whole country, to have a dissem inating protective tariff.

J. AI. Wischeia, Sec'y. THE 4.TE ELECTION. The battle is finished and the -moko arisen from the field, so that wo can view, unobstructcdly, the result of the contest.

The Free Stato Party have been successful, though narrowly escaping defeat. Wo must admit the Pro-slavery Party have made gains in this County, and have much to'brag on; if thev sain one fourth as much at tho next election, we shall be defeated: Ye Freo State men of Doniphan County, ye who have suffered in the cause of freedom, ye who have seen the present lead ers of the Democracy driving free Stato men from tho polls, and aided by the Missourians, place in power tho creatures who lived in Kansas during the earlier hours of her existence, men whose proudest boast that they had robbed Komo freo Stato man, or had prevented you from voting; can ye call those things to mind and yet rest satisfied that you have done your duty in the late election Are von such dolts that the name of Democracy, though cloaking the vile carcass of Pro Slaveryisra, can oheat yon into the Bupportofthe nominees of the rankest Pro-slave ry i Do you so love treason to irec principles, that you readily sup- jort men, who, failing of nominations in a Free State Convention, souirht comlort and aid from the Pro-slavery men of this County men of some of whom, at least, it might bo said 'Ilastthou not spoken like thunder on side Been sworn my soldier? bidding mo depart upon thy stars, thy fortune, and thy strength? and dost thou how fall to my foes I Thou vrears't a lion's hide doff it for shame, "and hang a calt's-skiu on those recreant limbs." Or are -you not cowards to your own principles, that the J'ear of being called a Black Republican or Abolitionist, drives you to sssist the same men, who, recently vou recognised only as enemies to your liberties and rights, in electing their tool, who have sold them--selves out, some to gaiu the poor reward of a petty office, and some for the gratification of their own passions! Who nro those same Republicans- you now turn the cold shoulder ujon? Are they not the men who have struggled for your rights in Congress, who have ent you money, when in distress from the raids of border ruffians, lod on and encouraged by these same dear friendly Democrats, who jh profess to love and ad mire phan County will show they are not ashamed or forgetful of the past, by voting for real anti slavery men, who are Fre6 State men in earnest and. hot Pro-Slavery-ites in: disguise men stealing the livery oi heaven to serve the devil in. THIS YEAR'S CROPS. It has beeh our good fortune to travel thro' most of the free States thi3 Summer and Fall, and almost every where the crops are short.

At the East they complain of too cold a summer for corn and the po-tatoe rot; along the valley of the Mississippi and in Illinois they have suffered from excessive rains. Here, in Kansas, we have had as much rain as any other portion of the country, yet our crops, save of spring wheat, are The soil of this Territory is the best for agricultural purposes, in the world. It is no richer than many other soils wc know of, but excels from the fact, tbat it is more fitted to stand excessive rains or droughts. Here the farmer is sure of a crop, whether it be corn, wheat or hemp; and from our nearness to the plains, we must furnish Government with the supplies for her forts and troops on the frontier. Our climate, too, is the finest ot any free State.

We say, then, to the farmer of the old States, come here and set tie while the land is cheap grow up with tho country raise grain for the Gold Mines of the Rocky Mountains, gain wealth and a fair fame, and die at last, with the feel ing that you have been of some service in moulding the institutions of a powerful and prosperous Slate. MORE GOLD NEWS. The zcrij Latest More Discoveries We give in another column, from the Lawrence RepxCblican, the account of the ascent of Pike's Peak, by Mrs. Holmes, of Lawrence, a feat which make her a historical character. From the same number of the Republican we learn that a letter had been received from her husband, dated the 21st of August, which gives a very flattering account of the discoveries by the company.

They had left for the Spanish Peaks to winter, and Mr. and Mrs. Holmes had gone to Taos, and were already engaged in teaching school. The Republican says: letter also states that while at Pike's Peak, the Lawrence company sent out prospecting parties over a good deal of the surrounding who found gold in all the streams, and at one place on the Platte in quantities sufficient, as they thought, to yield from five to eight dollars a day. It was strongly desired by a portion of the party to go directly to these dig gins, and spend the winter there, but another portion were determined on going to Spanish Peaks, and as the whole company were none too numerous for safety among the Indians, they all finally went to the Spanish Peaks.

Cherry Creek does not seem to havo been visited by tho party at all. "All these accounts do but confirm the unvarying testimony of the existence of gold all along the head waters of the Platte and Arkansas." 7 Here is a full confirmation of all we have ever published, eighteen days later than the accounts of Can-trell, which have been ungenerously criticised by the editors who don't know, and who don't want to know, anything but what is copied from some Eastern paper. That there are gokF deposits. on the heads ot. the Arkansas, 7 at Pike's Peak, that will amply repay energy and industry," is no longer matter of doubt, and lie is only an ass that can shut his eyes to the fact.
