The above vote will show who the true
friends Of the Cumberland Road. Only NINE
Administration men voted for the Appropriation,
and they were doubtless influenced to do 50 by
their proximity to the Road.-FIFE original
Wings ngains, the Appropriation most of
whom live IN the South, and have always OPP
posed tha Road.
The vote to grant the Appropriation then
stands 66 Wings for, and y Administration men
and Conservatives against 1t.
There is doubt but the present Adminstra-
ton has taken stand against the further prose
cution of the Road During the last session OF
Congress, Mr.. Cambrelcng the intimate friend
and adviser of the President, and Chairman of
the Committee of Ways, and Means, made Re
port against the Constltu,ionalIty Of the Federal
Government granting any further Appropriations
for the Cumberland Road and other similar Ma
ional improvements. Take this Report, spea-
king il does, the views of the Executive, and
connect 1t with the above vote, and 1t proves be-
cond doubt that the Administration Is hostile to
he Road.
On this question, we trust the People of both !
parties in this section of country, Will no longer
De deceived. Their ewes must now be opened t"
he truth The defeat OF the bill is owing TO the de-
iberate and declared opposition Of the Admins
ration party, to any further appropriation to car
v on this National thoroughtare. Even the Pa
rotc Boon, about whose former services IN IA
or Of this Rord, the Democracy and Democrat
papers of this State have said SO much, IN the
our of need, abandoned 1t to its fate. No soon
Z did ne learn that he was defeated for the Uni
ed States Senate, than be openly declared that
he friends of the Road need no longer look 10
i'm for any assistance His State had acted I'M
ra tetnliv towards him in refusing to elect him
n the Senate-and the refore he would cease to
xer, his influence in favor of the Road
To the Democratic party in this district we have
MY this to say-,hat the question of the con
nuation of the Cumberland Road, one of two al
srnatives is presented TO YOU, VIZ: You must
ther give up your support 10 the Adininistra :
on-or abandon the Road. The issue is made
hich will you prefer?
