The following is the reply Of this dis,in.
gushed gentleman to an Invitation to attend
the late Democratic festival in Scott county,
Kentucky:
GEORGETOWN, Ohio, June 80 l840.
GENTLEMEN: Your kind and fattering in
%vitation to attend a barbecue in Scott CO. on
the 18th proximo, came in due time. and it
would afford me sincere pleasure to accept it
if it were practicable to do so. At that time
! shall necessarily be absent at Columbus in
attendance upon the Federal Court, and
must, therefore, forego the qualification Of
meeting you and my other political friends
in your social, patriotic festival.
rejoice to see so fine a spirit abroad in
Kentucky. We are closely united in in
!erest and in feeling, and to a great extent
by the ties Of kindred. We ought to fight
together in our political battles, for there Is
not a doubt that a large majority Of both
States are purely Democratic, # they are
not misled. Could Kentuckians be brought
to understand fully the position of Gen.
Harrison upon the Abolition question; could
they see, rs we do here, every AbOlitionist
in this section Of the country huzzaing for
the hero of Tippecanoe, attending all the
Wing meetings, acting as delegates and Of:
hcers at such meetings whilst every Dem
ocrat amongst us denounces this foul heresy
and goes for the Constitution and the com
promises Of our fathers, how could there be
a doubt Of the result in your Statei Her
vote would be more certain for Mr.. Van
Buren, than that of Ohio. Is it consistent
with the frank and generous character Of
kentuckians to vote for a man for the high
est Office in the world who seeks conceal
ment upon this question: cannot believe
It. They will, as they ever have done be
true to themselves, to their wives and child
rem, to their country, and to that glorious
Constitution, which renders US a great, a
prosperous, and a happy people. May
God in his wisdom enlighten US, that we
may do our duty faithfully in this trying E.
mergency.
Present me respectfully to those you rep>
resent, and receive for yourselves, gentle
men, assurances of my highest regard.

And fellow Democrat,

Our friend from Lincoln, must have been
misinformed. The wings knew from the
beginning, that they had their hands full, to
retain their hold in this county, and therefore
permitted their neighbours to fight their own
battles. The excuses for their defeat in
Old Pike, only proves the true cause, and
that is that they hadn't the votes. If they
could have held on to Pike, they would have
been very willing to have given the Lincoln
Senator to us. 3

Louisiana, Mo, 90, Aug. 1910.
Nh. A. H. BUcKNER:-Sir. An acquain-
lance of some four years with the character
of the soil of this county, and its adapta-
ton to the cultivation of the finer descrip
tons of Tobacco, has convinced US that there
is no portion of the union where Tobacco
can be grown more iuxuriantly, or where its
cultivation promises a richer reward to the
planter. Satisfied of these facts and believing
that the people only want TO be apprised of
the descriptions of Tobacco which are best
adapted to our climate and soil, their manage
ment &c. in order to become extensively en-
gagged in its cultivation, we have caused such
enquiries to be made of our friends in New
Orleans, as we supposed would furnish :.hiem
win Inc requisite information. Our e.G,qqul.
ries having been responded to in manner,
we trust, acceptable to the planters, We are
induced to solicit a publication in the "JoLrn.
al" of the subjoined extracts from our cor
reSnondence

To the Tobacco Planters Of the Western
Country.

Gentlemen:-The object of the Circular
is, to infomyouthat loud complaints aremade
about the condition in which the last crop
OF Tobacco particularly came into the mar
ket, VIZ: the extraordinary largeness Of the
hogsheads-the greater portion Of them be-
ing made of thick and green timber. We
therefore considered it our duty as officers
of this State, commissioned for the purpose
of protecting the dealers in the article here,
to give you timely notice, in order that your
hogsheads for the ensuing crop, may anne
into market the proper size and dimensions,
and the timber thereof well seasonsed. Il
is now admitted by all who are any way in
terested in the traffic of Tobacco, that the
damage arising from green timber, is equal to
IS or 60 per cent; we therefore consider it
but justice, that all Tobacco packed in green
timber ought to be reduced in their respect
i've cla~sses-hence all first qualities will be re-
duced to 2nds-all ends to X and all d to o.
Your hoeshead for this market, therefore
must be made of seasoned timber, from 81
to Sc inches in length; and from Sc to SO
inches across the headings, with 6 fiat hoops,
or 8 round hoops on each hogshead. Any
deviation from the foregoing instructions,
such as large h~ogsheads, green & heavy tim
Der, and false packing, will be noticed by
the Inspector on the label Of each sample
and in the Inspection Book.
