I will not bo able to speak pei Bonally to each one of my friends, and I do not want you to think I do not care for your sttj port, or that I regard your influence ol no importance. Such is not the case. Those that come to my sup poit, and use their influence in my.behalf without being solicited, will enable me to see in them true friendship, or that there was a good principle involved in it; that they supported me on account of merit. It Igo to the Legislature, no class of citizens need not tear me on is sues coming before that body, unless they fear justice, for I am sure it would be my pleasure to vote and work for what 1 believed to bo just between nine I and man, mi 1 lor the good of the public genet ally. Some ot our men do not regard this primary election as being of much importance. I lake r different of it. It there is nc nomination it would foreshadow the final result. Whether it be the choice of the people or not, I think every Democratic voter should come on: anil cast their votes as though they were voting for a special agent to send off to transact business for themselves. You kuow I would like to succeed, but if you do not think I am the man to send to the Legislature, I do not want your votes. Respectfully, F. B.

J j A Word to Farmers. j Editor Register : | Knowing in these latter days when j S ia,l,s xo much abound, and thinking ; that a dwarf standing on the shoulders of a giant might see farther than a giant j himself ; wi eli this has become such a populated medium that a man would hardly think of going to see his neigh bor on business who has a county paper ; and conscious that an id e dog will grow mangy , and a luint desire to wield the i on,y unbroken sceptre : and at the same j time aware that the man who writes turns his inside out, and subjects himself to many censures, I resolve if you like not my writings, go read something else. How shall I express myself to each man* huntor, and conoite or give satis faction to all? Some understand 100 much, some 100 little. Our writings are ns so many dishes ; our readers guests - our books like beauty— that which cue admires, another rejects. So are we appproved as mens’ fancies are inclined, lie must have a barren wit (hat in this scrabbling age can forge nothing. If that severe doom ot Synews be true, tl at it is a greater offense to h*ul dead mens labors than their clothes, what shall become of most writers? I hold up my hand at the bar among others, and ant guilty of felony in this kind. Wo skim off the cream of other mens’ wn tings, and pick the choicest flowers of j their tilled gardens to set. out our own , aud lard our own writings with the hit .of oihers works—by which it comes : 0 pass that all of our libraries and shops ; aro . ft:ll of P ,Uri<J papers. We can make [ majors and officers eveiy year, but not scholars. Learning was once graced In judicious and accomplished thinkers, but i lIOVV nol>,,J science is vilified by illiterate | scrabblers. There are two main defects i of wit, error and ignorance to which all others are reduced. By ignorance we know not things necessary ; by error, we kuow them falsely. Ignorance is a pri- j vallon ’ erroi ’> a positive act. From ig | norance comes vice ; from error, heresy. Ac. But make how many kinds you will, divide and subdivide, few men are tree, or that do not infringe on someone k.nd or ot!ler J ho that examines bis own and other mens actions shall find— and now to de pint. A word to the farmer, and I must be careful hence, knowing that a drop ot iuk will stain a mau’s character. But I have long been convinced that a public reprimand does very little good. If i j were to fcav-ihat a certain coarse weald I ’ ,O “ k I . a 0n, “ ,,0n J‘° would not wonder !l,dlvual Luilures; but as 1 I>Po f t r to 800 ll,om 0,1 t a time, you will see ,„e at my office. best I weary t)>e patience without having time to lick it into form, but even so to publish it, ns it wan first writ, ten out of a confused company of notes, and a small amount of deliberation,* as i do not ordinarily speak without affecta n°n of big words or gitigiing terms that nke Acestor's arrows caught fire Hs t,l ov flew strains of wit.
