The friends ofthe wing candidate in the

trickerY anticipated successful. Such we
suppose IS we have spoken of in the above

A BIG BUSINESS FOR A CANDIDATE
VOTERS BE NOT DECEIVED.

There is an individual residing at Racine
ofthe name of Truman Wright. This in
dvidual when it suits his purpose claims 10
be of The democratic party, but is always
found in opposition TO their men and mea-
sures. lie is a brotber-in-law of the Wing
candidate for Regisier,and is most anx ious
10 have him elected. For this end he talks
loudly of disafiections in the ranks when
The truth is,here is probably not a man dis
affected beside himself A day or two
since, he visited this place, and when here,
closeicd himself for an hour or such a mat

tative in this town. The result Of The con-
saltation between these precious worthless

On this ticket it will be perceived, are all
told four democrats, and these with the ex-
ception of one, all for unimportant Offices.
These gentlemen however have taken es-
pecial care of their own interests. We find
that Mr.. Wrighi's brother-in-law has not
been forgotten, any more than our friend
in the south has forgotten himself |, is
rather scurvy trick though fo Mr.. Hurl-
burd of Rochester, WHO it appears is to be
sacrificed that Democrats may be deceived
into the supper, of Mr.. Harvey and liar
mon. But we imagine this is not The only
ticket concoctcd at that time. There will
be one for every diile -ent meridian in the
county; and whilst Mr.. Huburd is TO be sac
fate in tie west, and there will lie a ticket
for the north and one for the south; but they
will all show the same feature in one re-
spect. Mr.. Wrights brother in-law (Mr.
Harmony and our southern candidate, will
in no case be forgotten. Shame at such
petty trickery. Why is it that some men
can never conduct a canvass in fair and
honorable manner. Although split tickets
and decepilons of that kind have always been
the practice alone of the wings in this coun
ty, yet W, are 10th TO believe that The re-

The Railroad.

The last Green Mounian Freeman

100000 have been subscribed in Mont
pelirr Village towards the construction of
the Central Railroad, and rather indicates
that that route will be preferred 10 the
Western. How that may be we cannot
now tell. Olc thing however l think is
certain which is that The EoslonanS
will no! subscribe Tor stock in the central
route in preference 10 this, unless they
get most consummacIy dipped, And
should this be the case, not many years
will eIapse before The road this side the
Mountain will be built, and il will take
away large majority OF the tonnage of
freight which some OF the Eastern folks
now anlicipae. One fact must ever stand
in the way OF plausible argumens;which
is, the vast amount OF freight which will
come from the iron region across the
Lake; and The passengers and freight
which will come on the OgGensburgh &
PIausburgb Railroad, will not pay for
ncedIessIy riding over SO miles Of road -
Another Jact in favor Of this route is the
excess Of freight this side, over the other;
