So we could, very soun get enough to fill our paper, even if j clmiil t rnntn ti of rinA tivrr.lirth cfi the atmunt wo read. It is no ensy task to cater Cor the vari cus tastes of a few thousand, or even a few hundrflds of readers, wiih which sub:ription lists lo Newspapers are gnnsralIjr made up- In our selections or sciibbltngs, we should tim mori to benefit than to am-ise Ja instruct more than to excite passion, und generally to ameliorate the condition of thp community in u hich veiive.

Fathers and mothers read our paper, anl rrc shouli ondaivtir, with iha aid 0 their counsel, to impart to them nothing buf useful and wholesome information. Little children, and those of mittlrer ngr ' also re-il it; nn l wo should be careful tu withhold from thorn any and everything thattendato destroy the wise counsels and moral influeneea inculcated by tho parent. All these, and more ere to ba looked to yet with our ho3t of exchangas before us, hundreds around U3 are ready to j in in tho exclamation how easy it U to get copy Distress. We are somewhat familiar with the truth of the following, from the Madison Courier of the 14th, in relation to the suffering poor of that city. The time has been when the cries of distress reached our er.rs from a foreign bud, and Madison, 've believe, was not bebind her sister cities in response to the call, in proportion to her population. Now when starvation Blares in the face, a portion cf her own people, and ether portions of the State are carelessly luxuriating upon plenty, and have t spare, we cannot forego the opportunity of sug5esting an amendment to the Courier's appeal in their behalf, and inttead of convening the Legislature, call a convention of those who hava bread and meat and potatoes to spare, in dif ferent portions of the State, to devise ways and means to prevent our fellowcreatures from suffering and want at all events within the limits of our own State. We again S3y, we know something of the truth of the Courier's statemeats. Read them: The TimesMoney is said to be. plenty in all the ieat cities on the Atlantic seaboard, and in Cincinnati it is reported that borrowers of good repute have no difficulty in obtaining accommodations. "Money market easy" is the general quotation. This, in ordinary times, would be indicative of prosperity. Is it so does it indicate prosperity? " Loo' at the other side of the picture. Flour $10,59 per barrel, potatoes $2 per bushel, and every other article of daily consumption as high in proportion. Add to this the alarming scarcity. The flour and corn in the immediate neighborhood is exhausted. We are now using the corn grown in the ticinily of the lakes and the potatoes from beyond the likes.

Both corn and tbnir were never known to bo higher than they arc now all over the Western States. The lowest quotation lhat we can find in tho richest corn-growing j regions, is foity cents a bushel, and from that up to seventy-five. It is on an average three times as high as in any former year, whilo floor is from ten to twelve dollars a barrel in this market. It is a new era for Western farmers. It makes a new a era for Lastern consumers, It is the era of high prices so hih that nnny who aro working for customary wages, are put to it to get food sufficient to Mitisfy appetites of their families. We venture to prophesy that neither of these articles will fall much fcelo-v the existing price the present year, event with otm of the best average crops'cf iha last decade of years. And with such a druulh a3 that of Inst season which is not at all unlikely to happen the price of corn and flour will probably be fifty percent, higher than it is now; and the poor of this cily, if not in the country, will actually fctarve. N. Y. Tribune We observe that papers in Western Missouri make mention of returning emigrants since the recent election. These returning emigrants are a new thing. Time was when emigrants continued to proceed, were sure they wero right all the while, aud went ahead until they found n stopping place, and there remained. There was no such word as return in their vocabülarj. These returning emigrants appear to be mn who vote in Kansas hut reside in Missouri a species of flying artillery invented by Senator Atchinson. And it seems that the Immigration Socieiies of the North East are using the same kind of weapons. Tho Independence Dispatch learns that a large delegation of Gov. Reeder's imported voters recently passed through Westport, and while trying to purchase a lot of two hundred buffalo robes, 'let the cat out of the bag." It seems that they wished to purchase tho robes for less than their value, but failing in this they offered to buy them at full price, if the owner would take them back after the election. It is unnecessary to comment upon this. Their intention is clearly understood, without this additional proof of their being the hired tools with which the dirty work of Abolitionism is to be done in Kansas.' Cin. Commercial.
