Most of the citizens of this vicinity are aware
that somc years back, the general government

Richmond. on the Cumberland road and it is al
SO we'll known that in consequence of there being
no repairs made, that portion of the road has be-
come greatly dilapidated. This induced resi-
dent, nearly on the line of the road to address
the Representative in Congress from this district
upon the probability Of obtaining an appropriation
for the repair thereof; and also, suggesting the
idea that if they could not or would not do any
thing towards it. that !! might grant that portion
east of the city of Richmond to the several road
districts, with power to erect gates and charge
such tolls as may be requisite to keep the road in
good condition. From the answer received there
appears much to lead to the conclusion that gov
eminent will not do any thing at the present
time. The Representative, c. B. Smith, seems
to favor the suggestion Of placing the road under
the superintendent of the districts, in the evcnt
OF not receiving help from Congress. but prior to
making any move therein desires an expression
OF the wishes of those who are interested in the
road. 1t IS therefore requested that those who
are interested Ill its being kept in good repair and

COMMUNICATED

DAE D.-.At the residence of his mother in
Richmond, on the 9th inst, of consumption, af.
ter hngering'illness, Mr.. Thomas w. Cox, in
the 22d year of his age.
In the untimely departure of the deceased is
remarkably verified the saying of the ancients,
. whom the gods love, die early Truth, honor,
an upright and manly bearing, and an amiable
disposition uniformly marked his intercourse with
his fellows, and endearcd him to large circle of
relatives and friends. Few persons have been
cut off in the prime of life, leaving behind them
more unanimous tokens of respect and esteem
from those among whom they have lived. Long
will be cherished tho memory of his moral worth.
The deceased has left a widowed mother and
two sisters to mourn their loss. Let them mode
rate their grief by the solacing reflection that he
left them the strongest assurances of his going
to land of eternal rest. Let them draw conso-
latlon from the memory Of l. virtues while on
earth and the infinite reward vi those virtues in
Heaven. May strength be impa rted, that they
may bear their affection with fortitude!

Van Buren, never enjoyed any very great repu-
tation for the perspcuity of his thoughts particu-
larly upon those subjects which public opinion
has not settled beyond controversy. Perhaps his
lSub-Ircasury scheme may form single excep-
ton to this remark; but his unconditional commit

rcconcIled with his wonted caution. He was
doubtless led into that difficulty by Benton-not

the passage of all such laws, he would trespass

These celebrated musicians have been
entertaining US the present week with some
oflheir richest strains; and we are happy to
observe that their matchless talent appears
10 be duly appreciated and honored by the
public. With us the need of admiration has
been only measured by the capacity of the
house in which they performed. They I'M
questionably stand at the head Of their pro-
tession in this country, and in their hands
the Clarionet, the keyed bugle, and the
ophecleidc, have assumed a character, and
evinced capacities, Of which the world had
no previous conception. Such periorman-
ces tend to correct and elevate the public
taste, and we shall be happy to welcome their
frequent recurrence.

Col. Lumpkin, Of Georgia, declines the
nomination of Elector in the following char
acteristic letter:
LExrNaros, July 4, 1914.
Gentlemen IL know that you will believe me,
when assure you that feel grateful, profoundly
grateful, to the Wing Convention for their recent
nomination of me as an Eector-the more so, ms the
honor was unsolicited unlocked for. circumstances,
however, consran me to decline IT. You will ex-
pec your candidates to be ,rorking men. 1t is right
that they should be. Questions of vast magnitude
are agitang the public mind, the settlement of which
should necessarily call into action the best talent and
purest patriotism of the country. They involve alike
our foreign and domestic policy-peoce or ,car at
home and abroad, The banner OF territorial conquest
has been boldly unfnrled in neighboring State, and
our people enthusiastically exhorted to follow at once
IN the footsteps of Cortez and Pizarro!
"Spurnng at justice;
One the pride of martial sway
Allures; the lnsolent power of doing wrong
lnfames anoiher and the sordd gain
Hath charms for some each of the peoples tolls
Reckless, or what they suffer-"
While such revolutionary principles proclaimed,
neutrality or indifference would be criminal in the
last degree. And yet, what can do? My health,
long feeble, has again failed me. 1t only be re-
cruited, if at all, in travel the solitude of retirement
Public speakings pouring oil on the fire that is con-
suning me. Look out then, for another and |

GROUNDS OF THEIR HOPE.

The Bennington Gazette copies the wing |
nominations for state Offices and electors,
and gives us the grounds of its conviction
that they will be defeated.
Democrats of Vermont, do you want the Above
men to be elected to office? MOI no Democrat
wishes the sncces Of Federalism. Then besr your
selves and they he defeated If the Aboli'ionsrs
stick TO their text, Vermont will cast her electoral
vote for POLK and DALLAS.-N. Gazette.
Observe, the hopes of loco focoism for the
election of Polk, and the consequent extern
sion of slavery, arc based upon the action of
the third party. elf the abolitionists stick
to their text, Vermont will cast her electoral
vote for Polk and Dallas" says the Gazette.
But how so! We are told, and some honest
men verify believe, that the third party votes
are to be derived about equally from the
other two parties; and this, in a plurality
election, would not change the result, or re-
duce the present wing ma GRITTY. The Ga
zettc understands it. Whatever pretences
may be made to the contrary, few or none
of the locofocos intend to rote with the lib
crty party; they may 90 with them up to
the day of election, but they will then vote
for Polk. The cause of freedom finds its
friends and supporters, as a general rule
among wings; and whatever accessions the
third party may have, will be so much with
drawn from the wing party, and in jus, that
proportion increase the chances for Folks
election. This is the ground of their hope !;
and should the third party "stick to their
text" with the blind faulty the Gazette cal
culatcs upon, no one can gainsay its conclu-
sions. IfPolk gets the vote of Vermont, it
will be through the agency Of third party
votes.
But TO talk of locofoco liberty man, is a
contradiction in terms. Northern locofoco-
ism is but bob to the kite of southern slave
ry. 1t has no WILL no principles, otits own;
its reliance is upon the south; hence its
uniform concurrence in southern dogmas, lis
votes against the right of pe'itlon-its hos
tilty to pro,ection-and hence its zeal IN the
support of an ultra free trade candidate
whose election would result in extending
slavery over territory thrice as large a
New England, and making the free laborer
of the north poorer, if possible, than th'
black men thus doomed to servitude in Tex
as prove this. individuality, or Independent
action, does not pertain to it.
