est of the people it our interest.
We hiue,oowr!ed, with .these paqplc en
ough to know their opinions of the two places,
and can ty thiit? with hictiy'df them thrro is a
false notion, lltat tho biuincst m-n of Hannibal
are a perfect act of twindlcrs, that they would
rather swindle a'cduhfryman'out of produce
than any other wynnd that it he should lire
to resisf.. their iniquitous proceedings,, they
would as toon, kick hun out ol ' doors or send
him to the calaboose at. anv.thiiiii else. These
opinions, they have recejved fionv persons who
in bygone day? tradeil to that point. ' Hence it
is plain why many pf ilie citizens trade to Glas
gow rather than to. Hannibal. , , . ", j
We would say to tliii portion of our citizen
that iLnnibal js quite changad from wliatt pnee
was. It.j a fiici, that at one tune the majority
of Hrhusiness men were .rascals, or , at least
they aoied very rascally with the citizens of l)ie
co-infry; hut, at thistime they bear quite a dif
ferent cliarucler, n Those -"rascally , fellows"
uavc cither "gone the way of oil, the. earth," or
haye been compelled to, give place to honest
men. The biuincs , men. of. Hannibal we
know tiiem well, and can ay. yv ilhout fear of
doubt or contradiction, that Jhcy are as honest
and clever as any oilier set of men, no matter
where they are found; and to far as we know,
we can say the tame of Glasgow. .
Then,, laying aside all prejudice, what is the
reason, that many of our citizen trade to Glas
gow rather than to Hannibal? ;
No one will deny that their produce of everv
kind will command a, belter price at tho latter
place, tn J that their wants can there be sup
plied as cheap, if not cheaper than in any oth
cr city in the State, St. Louis not excenlcd.-
Are not the roads to one place as good as to ihe
oilier!1 Why, then, do thev not five Ilannilml
