Last week via took an excerdem through a portion of Jasper County, and 'were, fully convinced of the troth of the remark we have oEeu heard that Jasper County contained ; as much, if not more good land than any other county in the State. ' . The Prairie land is decidedly handsome, and is heir 2 extensively cultivated. Avast amount of land in this county Jias. been entered during the present year, a great portion of which has been purchased by persons desining to settle upon and cultivate it. : Itensssdaer the County seat cf Jasper,' is a handsome' and flourishing town, situated upon the bank of the Iroquois a stream affording sufficient, water power except in a" unusually dry season, Heusseiaeris destined to be a large b-nne3;place, and Jasper county a ricirand populous county.

scription, job work, advertising, Cic. There is now from five to six hundred dollars das us for the last year's subscription, and this is a large amount for a country paper for one' year alone. The amount that each subscriber is indebted is bat small, but put all together and it makes a pretty good "pile." We'earnestly hope that every one indebted to us will attend this call and 'come forward and pay up immediately, and avoid further trouble. Senatorial Convention.

Th County eonventioa met: it an ear

ly ho'ir and organized. It adjourned men, until the afternoon. Duriistr the rnesntirne a tall and beautifa! pIs m, elevated; and a msgnificeut banner S laet in length was run up amidst loud and enthusiastic cheering. After the po! was raised, the conven tion met according to previous trranement. and proceeded to the nomination bi candidates. Good order was observed throughout the whole proceedings, and the ticket selected was composed ofgood ste'riing Wliis a strong ticket, and such that every whig in White county will ieel proud to support. Alter the business of the county convention was over,, and the people had partaken of the repast prepared for the occasion, whicn we are glad to 3 ". as abundant and rendered general si . action, they assembled in the Court II o' " b to hear the addresses. Though disappointed in not having the aid tf ieveral speakers who were expected to attend Henry S. Lane being unveil, and court in Lafayette preventing the attendance of others; but the Hon. O. L. Clark, of Lafayette, being present, was called upon, and responded in an able and sensible address, which commanded the full attention of his audience. He alluded to the eminent services which Gen. Scott has rendered to his country; hi distinguished abilities: his political qualifications. He ' alluded to the manner in which Gen. Scott had conducted the Mexican war; his extraordinary skill and foresight in laj ing down plans and modes o! operations lor distant achievements; their complete fulfillment and sucess in every paritcuiar. and (iemonstroted from these grounds that such results were infallible evidence of the most powerful inteilt ct, and have been so regarded in all ages of the world: that such men have heretofore received the unanimous sufrage and gratitude of their countrymen, and were selected to fill the highest of fices; and therefore, Gen. Scott, more than any other man, since Washington, was entitled to the respect and admiration of the American people, and ought to be promoted to the highest office in the gift of the nation. lie next alluded in a brief manner to the tariff, and exposed" the fat.se views entertained on this subject by the Democratic party. Ha alluded also to our State politics, and the Gubernatorial candidates, both of whom he knew well; he warned the people from being led estray oy the duplicity and cunning of Jo. VVrig! t his insinuating address and egotism, by which he was trying to de ceive them, and secure his election. As t Nicholas McCarty he had known hitr f r twenty years; he was one cf the old settlers cf the State; though not an oraior, he was a rnaa of excellent ability' and vt 11 qualified to discharge all the duties of Governor; he had been entrusted w ith important duties in the ciTairs of the State many of them more difficult and trying than those pertaining to the office ihieh he is now si candidate f r, end mat he had discharged thtm all to the tintire satisfaction of his countrymen, and the credit of the commonwealth. At the conclusion of this speech Andrew Ingram, of Lafayette, was 'celled tor, who briefly addressed the audience.

Gen.Ecott w as the greatest general of tfea ege.end. except the imiKfital Vv'ashij.gion, tha most lisustH- i.s ih..t mt ioZ.MiK tLe pagt-s of America u !d-tni . lie ranked among hiss co!en..n-r j: iii arms, as the giant oak ot centuries growth among the brambles of the forest overshadowing them with the splendor ofhi talents, and the magnificence of his achievements. His history wa. the history of his country for the last lorty years, and his claims on the American people were such that he de served almost the respect of the Father of his Country, and ought to be elected. by acclamation, to the highest office in the it"fthe American people; for it -nay he said of him as has been said of Washington, "lie never drew his sword tut in the defence of his Country, and never sheathed it when his Country needed its cause," Though he bad been ulai.den d by ungrateful and unprincipled ptdititu ns, aid carricatured by those who are dead to ev ry feeling of honor en! '-pect o the history of their country its illustrious heroes, and those whose deeds have crowned it with immortal fame, vet, his name was inscribed upon the tablets of every true American heart: the American people loved him; they venerate him. and nothing but the name of part, pie vented all from uniting their voices at the ballot box to elevate him to the Chief Magistracy of the Nation. Mr. O'Brien compared Gen. Scott with Franklin Pierce the one known to every citizen of the United States, whose illustrious deeds, and whose fame as a warrior, have became the common property of the civilized world: the other distinguished neither as a warrior nor a statesman one who has no claims upon the American people fur any thing he has done, as they were generally igno rant of his existance until after his nom-1 ination for the Presidency. He was an Ex-Governor of New Hampshire, an ExSenator of the United States, a soldier who had never fought a battle; and the greatest vocal effort he had ever made in a legislateve capacity, was to prevent the widow Harrison from receiving the ballance of one year's salary, which her deceased husband was legally entitled to. " He alluded to the religious (est in N. Hampshire which excluded Catholics from holding public offices, and showed that Gen. Pierce was opposed to repealing the odious law. He showed that Gen. Pierce wae opposed to all western improvements and interests, viz: the improvement of rivers and harbors; the dis tribution ot the proceeds of the publiclands; the granting a portion of the public domain for the purpose of building in tinseveral States, rail roads, canals, col leges, school houses, &c: and also the grunting a homestead to aclual hitlers. Consequently the people of tne we st ought to repudiate his claims for the high office to w hich he is aspiring. He can have no sympathy for us. " Mr. O'Brien having thus in an abltnianner drawn a comparison between the fwo Presidential candidates, and descanted upon the issues . dividing the to great political patties, he next alluded to the extravagance and misrule of tne administration ol Gov U right; h. sale cf the bimJs aitvj ."dahaofi ai:: Indiausp'.'hs l.'rcjJ, the G'-org.a lnu ..wii die c ih- . :.'.; and made a,c.iie lorCiL.'e and aii.u;: j re:.ij.ik! :i referi net to his di-g-i-!i-g ai'd liui'in.tcd fi'..:,s,n about "my aJmitiisSifith ij.'
