New York Swindlers.
Next week's Democrat will contain a list of the various swindling firms in this city, taken form the official records and other sources, and published for the guidance of those who are in the habit of sending money to the various swindlers, dead-beats, and adventurers who advertise in the newspapers or by circulars. The number of firms or men engaged in this manner of making a living is larger than the population of many townships in the country, and so large that it will surprise our readers; and , we trust, save the innocent and unsuspecting everywhere thousands of dollars.

A Western Paper gravely informs us that Cassius M. Clay favors Salmon P. Chase as the Democratic nominee for President in 1872.
This settle the matter - the only thing being for Cassius to find anybody to agree with him, for it is almost an established fact that more than on vote is required to elect a man in this country. Cassius having nominated the man for the Democratic Party, there will be no need of a Democratic National Convention! It' s so nice to have all these things fixed up for us some bombastical jackass who imagines himself the mouth-piece of the people, when he is but one of the millions speaking for nobody but himself.

The New York Tribune and a few republican papers advise the Democrats to vote for B. Gratz Brown, of Missouri, for President in 1872. If it would be just as convenient to " What I know of farming " and his contemporaries, perhaps it would be will enough to let the Democrats have something to say about the matter and select their own standard - bearer. The Republicans will have all they can do elect their candidate without bothering about ours. Perhaps it might be well enough for them to select a candidate for the Democrats, inasmuch as the ones they select for themselves always disgust them before the administration be half through.

Our editorial correspondence, owing to the crowded state of our columns, is broken in two; The concluding chapters, in which mere mention is made of le Roy, Ithaca, and Auburn, to appear next weeks. Our paper is altogether too small for the amount of reading matter we would like to present the public, so we shall have to enlarge some of these days.

We saw in the papers a few days since that the Republican member of the Indiana Legislature were to resign. This is the intimation we have had they the treasury of that State was empty..

We notice by the Southern papers that Alf. Burnett, the genial humorist, eloquent recitationist, and man and gentleman generally, is pleasing large audiences at the South.
