into which hey were thrown by the intelligence Of the
passage Of the Bill This surely would not have been
necessary had they considered the scheme ridiculous and
impracllcable so far from making the road the butt of

element attending the late election for the county Of
Campbell, will show that strong temptation was pre-
scented To one Of the parties TO eXaggee the ease with
which the road would be made, and the injury it would
nfllct upon the town, when made This Mr. Tunstall
