AN OLD MINER
Platte, August 25, l643.
For the Herald.
TO THE VOTERS OF GRANT co.

Having declined being candidate for any
Office at the ensuing election. II becomes ne
cessary for me to inform the people OF that fact,
especially at the precincts where have been
declared candidate for Collector, IN order
that my friends may have time to consider for
whom TO vote.
have, from time 10 time, been solicited to
run for District Surveyor, but declined, and
still do, for the reason that the Office is not
worth having, unless person has some other
business from which to derive support, aud
which he can leave when called on.
The cause Of my withdrawal from being a
candidate for Collector is partly from the
prospect of other business, and partly from
the erroneous idea which is entertained by many
that ! am giving up good Office for one that
is no better, or that am too greedy OF Office.
cannot forbear expressing my thanks to
the people for their generous support, hereto
fore, and assure them that | feel unwilling to
tax their generosity too much, by asking them
for another office, though it might be of mate
rial advantage TO me in pecunlary point OF
view and agreeable TO the wishes of very many
Of my friends.

Aocks of Sheep in this State and driving them

it. In this way Wool can be produced far be-
low lis cost at The East, while its transporia-
ton to the seaboard costs less than five per
cent. of its value, and that of Grain costs fifty

SToRM.-The Philadelphians were
worse frightened than hurt by the re-
cente rise of a creek there, and gave
rather sublimated accounts. The

SUBLIME.-Our readers will dis
cover more poetry than truth in the
stretches Of fancy, which appeared in a
penny paper Of yesterday, in lis e,rag-
getoted account of the storm on Sat

citizens gazed, ,cih ,chite lips, upon

its foundation and flung down the
stream, '!!!!!!
AlI"the enormous e.rpenSe' which
was laid out for fixing the piles, and
placing the plank on them, and the
common lattice work at the sides, could
not have have exceeded two thousand
dollars. The bridge referred to was
the one that crossed Chester creek.
There is little truth, therefore, in this
statement, now for the poetry

six feet in FIVE minutes. The toater

said by an old commentator, at may
have been Tristan Shandy, that 'truth

have puzzled Tristam's brain to have

It is gratifying TO learn that as yet the Chi
nese have given no proof of their entertaining
any of those lreacherous designs against the
outer barhariaus which report asserted to be
theirs. Those who are acquainted with Chi
ma and Chinese character are OF opinion that
our commercial relations wth them may be
very bene ically extended. {" i have ifaversed
China" said Sir George Stanton, in The late
debate in the House Of Commons, " from north
to south in two successive embassies, and re-
sided some years in public capacity under
the Company a, Canton; am therefore ena-
bed to give my testimony, that the Chinese
from the greatest TO the least, are willing to
take, and able to consume British manufac
lures TO considerable extent. and that nothing
is wanting but careful and vigilant system oil
commercial intercourse on our part. Bot adds
Sir George we must have nothing to say 10
The opium trade; we must not offend the pub

purpose of the Emperor himself, by that odl-
Gus and immoral traffic.

In looking over the old annals. says the Gin
cinnati Chronicle, we find that the common
idea that the first Bank was established in
Philadelphia, is total mistake. Bank was
established seventy years before the period
which is assigned as that of the iirst Bank of
Pennsylvania. In l7l2, the Legislature of
South Carolina established Public Bank. aud
issued foriy-eiget thousand pounds in bills of
trust. These bills were called Bond Bills.
and the establishment was called a Public
Bank. These were let out at interest, or loan
ed on personal security,

they will not work IT but sub-lease 10 individuals,
with an increase OF rent. and thus make, after the
Government Agent has had his pay, a very pretty
business from the Uorking lniAer, thus giving him
two landlords TO pay. This is one Of The beauties
OF the Leasing system with which the mines of the
west and north are cursed. An expense TO the
Government and damage TO individuals ii IS still

TO THE VOTERS OF GRANT co,

4 hereby give notice that decline being a
candidate for the Office of Register of Deeds,
for the following reasons:
+ When | consented TO run for that Office it
was expected there would be no other candid
ates but Judge Golfer and myself Since
that time Mr. Robert Bell, of PlatteVile, has
become candidate, and il is so clrcumstanced
that whatever support he receives, would, for
the most part, be given TO me provided he was
not candidate.
/ From present indications, and in the opinions
of those who have been through the County
generally, my election would be secure beyond
a reasonable doubt. but for that circumstance.
| Judge Golfer would doubtless receive a
majority over me in two or three precincts, yet
there are several other precincts in which his
support would be extremely small.
| have before me communications from sew
eral gentlemen whose opinions | respect, and
whose opportunities for judging are very good,
who are quite anxious to have me still contin-
ne candidate, and who appear quite confident
of my success, even though Mr.. Bell and my
self should both be candidates, but am quite
convinced TO the contrary.
Because, Judge Golfer, from particular
circumstance, has at least 800 votes The advan-
taae Of any candidate without respect to char
acer or qualifications; and whatever number
of votes Mr.. Bell might receive at Plaiieville,
making i, still more difficult surely, in
my mind, places it beyond all possibility fol-
me or any one else to succeed in the same cir
cumstances.
Twill take this opportunity TO return my
sincere thanks TO my iriends who have mani
tested so much interest for me in this matter.
