SIR
The great peoples gathering, the Barbecue by
the wings of Ohio to the wings of Kentucky" the
pipe-laying Dayton Fandango, is over 'Two hun
bred thousand is the tune" &c. Your hint in re-
gard to New York, has been taken, and applied to
Ohio; Kentucky has contributed her share most
generously, and if she only do her duty as we'll to-
wards New York; let the loeofocos quake for the re-
suit. The locos say the osensbe object of thisfan-
dango is barbecue by the wings of this state to
their brethren in Kentucky but that the real object
is to lay pipes enough to carry this county and elect
Schenk in his district Of which Dayton is the princ-
pal town this the wings stoutly deny. Let them
settle il between themselves. Judge Wright, of
blacklist memory, says that, "One hundred and
thrtythousand freemen met in council !" Of surety
that is the core ct statement Of the The man
that could vhfy the character of Thomas Jefferson
during his life, and in 1910, hold him up as one Of
the purest OF democrats, is ipfallble, of course.
Ohio IS go ahead state, and this is 20 ahead
city, and mistake. Hard times have retarded our
motion to be sure but let the tariff get fairly into oPe
Iaton and confidence restored once more, and Ohio
will show the world what she can do. This is no
vain boast. In 1910, Pennsylvania exceeded Ohio,
in white population, one hundred and seventy-four
ten years hence New York and Ohio will be the RI
walls OF the Union for empire and for power. But
then their rivalry will create jealousy; far from
1t. They will be united family, and the pros
pery ofthe will only conduce to the welfare Of
the other This is to be the grand result, and all the
Presidents that will ever reign, John Tyler and
Henry Gay lin ncudad SHnnGt gIeysnt
pleted to Hopkinsvllle. distance of twenty eight
miles. II is presumed that the company will then
be better able 10 prosecute the work to its final des-
tination, the Lake. On account of the short dis
lance the usually they do not obtain large
a quantity Of freight as they otherwise will when
the Davy Crockett principle, that's certain. When
the road is completed TO the lake, and by others
nected directly with the city of New York, thuscon
Meeting that great city with the Queen of the West,
a railroad running the whole length Of the two En-
pire states, and the inhabitants of the respective
cities shaking hands, as il wevre, every day, will
their inf1aence no be felt who shall say nayl The
ble and propose having the city lighted next month.
II is to be hoped that they will succeed, and few
doubt but that they will. Major Conover, director
in chief, is persevering man and worthy of the
Queen.
Your Occidental correspondent at Newark seems
TO think that Gov. Corwin cannot be reelected =
Even 80 Thomas Corwin had better hang up his
fiddle, for of a truth. do believe Wilson Shannon
will be our next Governor, all the fandangos and
hnmbugs TO the contrary Notwithstanding. New
ark is well represented in the Herald; wish the
Queen were as ably so !; if that had been the case
this had not been written. There are many inter-
estng particulars that might be given concerning
our proud city; but shall postpone them all for the
present. lfyou think this worthy Of publication, it
may induce me to continue my exertions.
Very respectfully yours,
BUCKEYE.
