DEMOCRATIC MEETING IN SCOTT COUNTY.

G.R. JoxEs, Secretary.
Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1841-1853, 1847-09-02

CUMBERLAND RoAD-The editor of the Wayne
County Record suggests the propriety of calling a
county meeting for the purpose of deyisng means for
the completion Of the road thro Oh this county This
would be well enough, and perhaps such a is
the best pursue IN the matter. In case no meeting
should be held, would it not be well for the members
of the Legislature from this county to have joint
resolution passed. asking Congress to surrender to the
State the road through this county, and at the
time Introduce and pass bill extending the provis-
ions Of the Richmond and state line Turnpike charter
to the county line on the west Richmond PalGdi-
I'm.
Upon the plan here indicated the whole of the
Cumberland road in this State be completed, and,
as we have long been of opinion it be done in
no other way.
The difficulty in the way is. that every body is
ming wild about railroads. while they do not take the
least thought about improving our common roads,
which keep US by their miserable condition half the
year mud bound.
If we ever have good common roads we must OBJ
tain them through system Of turnpike companies,
such as built all the main roads in New England.

During the late canvass we published short com
munication from a friend at Bloomfield in the 9th
district, stating, among other things, that Dunn the
wing candidate for Congress, had denounced The LOu-
isriRe journal &c. The editors of that paper subse-
quently stated that they had Dunn on the
subject and that he had pronounced the statement of
our correspondent lie. 1t is doubtful whether Dunn
gave those editors authority to make such denial
But whether he did not, the following evidence will
show that the statement of our correspondent was
MT lie and that if there is falsehood anywhere it
lies between Dunn and the editors of the Louisville
Journal.
1t may be proper observe. that we are Informed
in relation to the signers of these statements, that
George B. Stalcup, respectable farmer, is a wing
and subscriber to the Louisville Journal E. West
a wing merchant of Bloomfield, also a subscriber to
that paper; and that Stephen III. Lockwood is the
wing representative elect Of Greene county. We are
also informed that any quantity of similar cerf-
Gates be obtained. We think these are sufficient
to sustain every thing essential about our correspon-
dents statement. If the Louisville Journal wants
