usually Ineligible account of our Banking system,

all the banks in operation in August last:

HAMILTON, June 26h, 1874.
MEssRs. EDIToRs :---Having, after ma
ture reflection, arrived at the concIusian
that it is my duty to cast my vote for Hen
ry Clay at the next Presidential election.
deem it due to the friends with whom
have acted in the Liberty party, and who
have been pleased to honor me with
public mark of their confidence, frankly to
state The reasons which have brought me
to this conclusion. 1t is unnecessary to
premise that the contest lies wholly be-
tween Mr. Clay and MrPolk. None are
so sanguine as to expect that Mr. BIrney
will carry single State, or even that he
can concentrate the present strength ofthe
Liberty party. Henry Clay or James
X. Polk will be next President of these
United States. This is morally certain.
What Than, is the great issue to be de-
cided by the contest? Whether Texas
as she IS, with her sldrery and her debts,
is to be Immediately annexed to this Un-
ion. or not In other words whether slave
ry in this country is TO be placed, human
ly speaking, hopelessly beyond the reach
of ant-slavery efforts. or forever or inde6-
nitely perpeuated, or 10 be left as it is,
exposed TO the opposing influences which
are now so actively aud powerfully at
work in Fastening its overthrow. | say,
this, to my mind, is the great issue -
There are other issues which are in them
selves important to the best interests of
the country. VIZ: Whether the Tariff or
anti Tariff policy is to whether
we are to have sound and uniform, or
an uncertain and fuctuating currency,
&c. but they all in my humble opinion
sink into insigniicance compared with the
Texas question.
That do not mistake or overrate the
issue, | am convinced from a serious con-
sideration of the declared opinions ofphe
opposing candidates, and the special rea

convinced, that they had been accustomed not

themselves.
The exhibition which came off in the even

vugarity- bordering upon theatrical obscenity
which was formerly considered one great de-
sideratum in such exhibitions, was seen or heard
upon the stage. The exercises were all orig

AS the people Of this County manifest an in.

HEARr-REsDINs CALAMITY. Walton,
n. r., on Saturday last, the 9Th inst, the
farmhouse Of Seymour F. Benedict caught
fire about O'Clock in the morning. Mr. Ben
edict, almost suilocated by the smoke, rushed
from the house, followed BY his wife and one
OF his children, and found that the upper story
of the building was in flames, where .fue efhis
children slept. The eldes, girl of IA, escaped
from the window with her fathers aid. Mrs.
Benedict went into the house again with the
hope of saving her children, followed by her
little child, when the roof fell in burying in the
ruins The mother and tipe children all OF whom
persisted. The young gill who escaped died
on the evening of the same day, from the eff
fects of her burns, and Mr. Benedict, the
father, has become totally deranged, by the
dreadful fate of his family. We have never
been called upon TO record more terrible in

this transaction. Almost Immediately on his
arrival there, Mr.. II. was informed that he
would never be permitted TO exercise his duties
there, and was requested at once to leave the
city. do not understand that any case had
arisen requiring his action, but that this pro-
test was in view of such possibility. On his
positive refusal to abandon the duties entrusted
TO him, he was told that if he would not with
draw, he would be forced to do go. He replied
with some spirit, that force, of course, might
be used, If they judged best-but that by force
only should he be removed from the post as
signed to him-an attack on his life was merely
a personal matter.
AT this iuncture the keeper Of the hotel,
where he resided, refused him lodgings for any
farther time, and in fact, turned him out oil
doors. Meanwhile there was ground to sup
pose that the mob of the city would attempt
his life. He was, indeed, preserved from theiI

between Brattleboro and Hartford, during the sea

lation and business, has than doubled within
few years, our freighting business the river
has become reduced 10 only one boat aud that only

procured cheaper by other routes and modes Of

tiy Of Merchandise coming from the south during
the past season to this place, has been landed at
Greenfield, and thence carted TO its owners, in
consequence of the excessively high rates oil tolls
exacted Of the Boatmen, at Montague Canal. This
il would appear accounts for the falling off of our
boating business. II the proprietors Of the Locks
and Canal at Millers' Falls, would consult their
own and in some respects the public interest, by
reducing their tolls TO rates corresponding with
similar works, they would do much To restore the
business on the river, and they would also greatly
enhance their income. The public will no longer
sustain the old aud exploded notions of high prices
