The Honorable amendment Pofitics-Ihs 1arif-
Lou Prices of Productive "7snth Legtow''-
The Drought, &c.
The community attending the late Camp Meet
ing in this neghborhood, are much hurt at our
thoughtless specifications OF the proceedings al
legged to have TRANSFERRED on the ground. We take
great pleasure in making the honorable amendment.
No malicious nor mercenary motive can be impu-
ted to us, in our offensive and unguarded descrip-
ton We had nearly five hundred personal friends
at the encampment, and not an enemy as we APP
prehend among the whole congregation. We had
no enmlty to revenge, nothing TO gain, but much 10
sacrifice from an account sucn as In the absence OF
the "sober second thought" we despatched 10 the
Herald. We regret that account, because OF ito
Susceptibility OF an indlscrminate elimination
because OF its carelessness OF style, and apparent
nfdelity in principle, voluntary and without cem-
pulson; therefore, in behalf OF the church, IN the
bosom of which we were nursed, in behalf Of the
community, one OF which we are, and in which
we were raised, in behalf OF the innocent fair who
contributed much 10 The beauty OF the scene,
and to individual pride and qualification in their
society, in behalf OF the locotoco party which has
been made to share IN our crlminalify; In behalf OF
the Herald which Is working 80 successfully IN
frOwnIDg down disorder, violence, and injustice, and
in eevating poor human nature TO dignity, csndor,
and beralty In our personal behalf the chief sui
ierer from the aggravatlon In the premises and IN
the name OIL common cHaIlty anu CoHHOu ecuoc, WO
ask OF all concerned their condolement, their
prayers, their absolution, and their benedction.
We are serlous-never more so. We seriously
promise to follow hereafter the more politic, pro-
fitabe, popular, fashionable, equable, temperate,
and judiclous Of technical CRITICISM or I'M
qualified praise Verbum, &c. r
We still, however, believe that Polk and Dallas
will carry the State Of Virginia by at least 5000
malority-that the wings have little faith in Mr..
Rves, not sufficient to remove the mountain OF IN.
creduiity-and that Hon A. n. H. Stuart, II no
pushes forward, will be Likely to supercede MI X.
in the United States Senate.
The protective tariff Is eating up the farmers
of this valley and state, root and branch"
Flour, their great staple, sells at Winchester at
from So 25 to S3 80, wheat, corn, NC. al pro-
porlionate price. "Protection," cry the farmers
"protecton-there Is no protectloh-it is all Taxa
ton.
Our democratic friends want to know the Political
prospect in the Empire state. Major Davexac a.
signs il to Polk and Dallas by 10000. Horace
Greedy gives it to Clay and frehnghuysen by
70 OOO-lake one from the other and nothing
remains. Is the State going tor nobody
is the vote Of New York to be thrown
the Herald.
In few days the wings propose holding
great meeting, we understand, in the very heart
OF the "Tenth Legion" viz: at Woodstock,
IN Shenandoah county Ii Will be ammunition
wasted They might as we'll try to prove 10 the
honest yeomen OF Shenandoah that souTkTout 10
not wholesome, attempt TO ingratiaie wing prn-
cples upon their minds ltcan't be done-no more
than Mr.. Van Buren, could Ut persuaded to 60 for
unconditional annexation.
The tallow ground and pastures have suffered
much for want Of ram. Can YOU consign through
Professor Espy, at Washington, three days Nor
