It is

390 DTD Mar. 24:2/2 In a letter to the editor, Trumbull says:
amusing to see how a large portion of the business of this world is car-
ried on.
Trade complacently enthrones itself, as by divine right, upon
the shoulders of the world, and the mind that is intellectual becomes
the merchandise of the mind which is devoted to the alchemy of turning
everything into gold.

"We knew a man who on gala days would sing to draw a crowd and then sell, just as the singing or selling got up a demand for either. The trade is in condition to buy up the mind power, so that while the mind power sings to songs, the trade power pockets the profits...."

391 - DTD Apr. 26; ed: 2/2 - "The fall of the Rosas will open new sources of trade to the world. Great Britain and France have acted promptly on the subject, and we dare say our government has not been negligent.

"The day is past for exclusive privilege. Individuals may not claim them, nor nations....

"No doubt France and England have united, and sent out commissioners to the La Plata to arrange commercial matters.

"Yankee enterprise will soon find out what this great region offers, and, if any thing can be done they will do it.... Give it half a chance and it will beat Europe, no matter what be the competition.

In a letter to the editor, "J. W." says: Through the politeness of J. L. Speer, our post master, I am sending you the list of reading matter taken at the Berea postoffice: 166 monthly publications, 136 weeklies and 4 dailies.

The population of Berea is about 600, exclusive of the students. It is a moral, enterprising, industrious place. Baldwin institute, located here, is a popular and flourishing institution with about 130 students.

We have also a union school house nearly finished, which does honor the town. Of our stone quarries so well known nothing need now be said. There are four stores, one temperance tavern, one school apparatus manufacturing establishment, and an extensive scythe snath factory here.

DTD Jan. 23:2/2 In a letter to the editor, "D," of Cuyahoga Falls, "Last Friday evening (Jan. 16) a portion of the citizens of Cuyahoga Falls were entertained by a highly interesting and instructive address from the Rev. Mr. Leeds. His subject was, 'Travels in Italy.' "Business is becoming very lively here, owing to te completion of the railroad between Hudson and this place, and will increase when the cars run regular."

394 DTD Jan. 23:2/4 In a letter to the editor, "Lorain" says: "The cause of intemperance may be considered in a flourishing state in our Christian village. The rumsellers have their way. They are reaping a harvest. May their days be few and full of trouble.

"The Kossuth fever does not prevail very extensively in our town, but we shall be well represented in Cleveland, when the noble Hungarian is your guest.'

had been made in lower California. The revolters had taken the town of San Tomas, seized the padre and alcalde, ironed them, and sent them off as prisoners. The purpose of the revolutionists was not fully known. Rumor on one side says that they meant to set up an independent republic; on other hand to hoist the American flag and claim protection of our government.

"The brutal war against the Chinese, we hope, is growing daily less fierce. The interior press speak well of them. The sober, second thought of the people on the seaboard is more in their favor. All admit them to be quiet, industrious, moral."

396 DTD July 7:2/2,3 In a letter to the editor, F. D. Gage says: visit to Philadelphia without seeing the state-house, the huckster women and Girard college would be as bad as selling my birthright.

"It was in the morning when we entered the door of the old building. We requested an entrance into the hall where the declaration of independence was signed. The guide was a little fellow ten years old. He unlocked the old door and we entered into that room. It was full of sacred memories. We, Lucretia Mott, Dr. H. Hunt, the little boy and myself were alone there. I looked up at one figure of the immortal Washington and perceived his stern, solemn face. I turned to the portrait of William Penn, and I fancied too, that his non-resistant hands were clutching something, as if it was hard work to hold still.

397 DTD July 9:2/3 In a letter to the editor, "Yours truly" says: national jubilee has again returned and gone, with its pleasant associations, and kindly smiles and many deeds to say nothing of its prolific exhibitions of fashionable folly, liquor, logic, and powder patriotism.

"The people of Jefferson had a celebration on July 3, which went off in the 'old fashioned way.' The crops are promising. The two old political parties are in the field with their candidates, each anxious, of course, to win the day. The Democrats not having made any serious pretensions for practical freedom, have few apologies to make, but take a 'through ticket. ' The spirit of slavery is insatiable. ever grasping and

never satisfied.'

398 DTD July 26:2/4 - In a letter to the editor, "Brutus" of Milwaukee "This town, or city as everyone knows who has seen it is the principal part of several hundred miles on the west shore of Lake Michigan. In 1835 it was but a howling wilderness, and now it is a city of some 15,000 to 20,000 inhabitants. A large portion of its buildings are three and four story substantial brick buildings. The location is hardly second

to your beautiful 'forest city' and the time is at hand, when Milwaukee must be the Cleveland of Lake Michigan.

"Milwaukee, moreover, is surrounded by and backed up by a strong fertile soil growing luxuriantly all the products of our northern climate. Five years since, I was here, and thought the city then presented indications of an unhealthy and too rapid a growth, it now has overcome that, and presents the appearance of an enterprising and healthful prosperity."

399 - DTD Aug. 5:2/3,4 In a letter to the editor, "Geauga" says: "On July 29, we had a shower of rain, which has done good to suffering vegetation. It is the first shower of any moment which has fallen since the first of July. Our summer crops have suffered much from these droughts..

(6)

The dry weather has been favorable to hay making, and our farmers have so well improved it, that they are nearly all done haying. There has been, also, a larger number of acres harvested than any previous year.... The enthusiasm among the people, for Free-Soil, is increasing daily. Some of the leading men of the old parties are bolting the hunker platforms and nominations. Nearly every township will be represented in Pittsburgh. The ball is rolling on; keep it moving.

Parker Pillsbury commences his anti-slavery 'agitations' in Ohio, at Bainbridge, on August 8, 1852. I hope he will have a large and attentive audience. The consciences of the people of Ohio need stirring up on the slavery question, and he can do it.

"The other day in Trumbull, Ashtabula county, I saw a woman throwing off a load of wheat while her husband was stacking it, and from appearance that was her part of the business of wheat gathering; wonder what the opponents of Woman's Rights will have to say to this evidence of equality of the sexes."

400 - DTD Aug. 13:2/2 - In a letter to the editor, "H" of Ravenna says: Ravenna is a thriving pleasant town of 2,000 inhabitants. Its advantages, besides the beauty of its site, are; it is the county seat of the thriving and populous county of Portage, having a canal and a railroad intersecting here, and having a good start, by location of a good amount of capital, bone and muscle in our sight.

"We have also three printing offices, each issuing a large and respect. able sheet, weekly, as the organ of a political party.

"Ravenna has a good supply of doctors of law and of medicine, but of doctors of divinity and professional teachers the supply is not so abundant. Our lawyers number nine. Our physicians number ten, including two dentists.

"Ravenna is surrounded by a good farming country, not so good, however near the town. And the process of farming needs much improvement." (12)
