Reply BY Rev. q. =, wenTer.

LADY: Il is with pleasure, that in be-
half of Ariel Lodge OF the Independent
Order of Odd Fellows. accept from
you this sacred memento of Your high
regard for our noble institution-0n in
sttutiOn devoted 10 the cultivation of
morality and virtue, and the practice of
Friendship and Charity. For two rea-
sons do we regard this gift as invaluable.
Ii is Of itself a priceless treasure in val
ue, past all expression, past all compar
ison. 1t is the ocean Of eternal truth.
the source Of celestial wisdom, the ex-
preston of iafnite Love. To every
true Odd Fellow it is inexpressibly dear,
as containing the principles on which
rests securely the noble fabric Of his
cherished institution. The Bible is our
guide-our chart of life. In it is writ
ten our great fundamental law of Friend
ship, Love and Truth. On its golden
pages is inscribed our highest duties
From it we learn eur lessons Of wis.,
dom and goodness. To it we turn as
our lamp Of life. Yes, the Bible, the
Holy Bible, the word of God, pledge OF
our Fathers love, rock OF imperishable
truth, ark of safety, shining orb of light
in the armament of earth, glittering
gateway Of life-this heaven-inspired
volume of infinite love, is dear, very
dear to every genuine Odd Fellow. No
gift could be richer. No other pledge
of esteem so sacred and honored. But,
iif possible, it is rendered more so by
the giver. 1t is ioomaH's gift. From
the hand of earth's best type of heaven
we receive it. How naturab how ap-
propriate; mans guardian angel, with
the Bible in her hand, pledges her es'
TEEN for his iraternal compact on this
holy word of divine truth and love-
With this for our guide and her for our
guardian. we cannot fail of great good
Sure are we that God will ever smile
upon his two best gifts to man, tcomGn
and the Bible.
Good Lady, for yourself and those
in whose behalf you are here, accep
the thanks OF those who love you, fol
this full and honored expression of YOU
regard for US and our institution.

may.vIIIe and Big SANDY RaIIroad.

The citizens Of Maysgille, KY, hav-
ing become thoroughly aroused on the
subject of Railroads, and having secured
Railroad connexion with Lexington
and Louisville, are turning their atten-
ton TO connection with some point on
Big Sandy river, by means of the above
named road. Every effort is being
made which may aid, its accomplish
ment: Distinguished and influential
citizens of Maysyille are stumping
through the district of country the road

Stevenson, editor efihe Eagle, addressed
the people of Greenupsburg on the lst.,
in its favor, and was to speak at other
points.
The intended effect of this movement
on the part of the Maysville people. is
plain TO be seen. Certainly no ordinary
nor extraordinary efforts would be made
Of this kind, at this time, if the road
was to terminate al Big Sandy-if it
were not q link TO connect with the East
The Virginia Central road is to be ex-
tended TO the Ohio river, and Big Sandy
is one of the points proposed as ter
minus. Should the road be built to that
place, the most obvious connection with
the West and South would be via Mays
Vile and Lexington, by means Of the
proposed Maysvile and Big Sandy road
Those interested in making Sandy the
point of termination, will leave nothing
untried that may produce the desiredre.
suit.
Recent surveys have indeed demon
strated the impracticability of this route
or at least the vast superiority of Other
proposed routes for reaching the river
but the location Of works Of this kind, is
not so much the result of feasibility oil
cheapness of construction as of tina
controlling interest created by the unior
of industry, energy and capital; avoid
ing level country and small expen
diture where Indifference is the mani
festation, they groove out a track BY
leyeling hills and filling up valleys
where enterprise may point the way
Let not the friends Of the Kanawha ter.
minalion of the Virginia road rely witt
too much confidence upon the advanta
ges of that over any other proposed
routes for reaching the river. Let then
rlook to the matter while 1t is yet within
their power to control it.

The proceedings of the Senatorial
Convention may be found in this paper.
The delegations from the several coun-
ties were unusually full for such meet
ings, and though there was Eot that una
nimity among the delegates that resulted
in a nomination till after several ballots,
yet no portion Of the Convention was
more united upon its first choice than
the whole Convention was upon Mr..
Cushing when he received the number
of votes necessary to nominate. The
nomination was unanimously confirmed.
The delegates separated with the deter
mined purpose of extending to the nom
inahon hearty and united support. OF
Mr. Cushing's ability to represent the
district with credit to Representative
and constituents, all were agreed,
and none more so than the opposing
candidates for nomination, who ars
all wings good and true.
This completes the whig ticket so
far as Gallia County is concerned.
About a month remains for organiza-
ton preparatory TO the contest
Most Of us never mingled in an elec-
ton Of so much importance-one
that extended so far and embraced SO
much. Never had the state so much
TO fear from the doctrines OF our op.
ponents as now. Should the radical
and destructive policy Of Locolocoism
become dominant in the Legislature
in the executive chair, and on the
bench at the first election under the
new Constitution, the occasion will
be improved TO effectually stamp that
policy upon every department Of the
government, though it has been re.
Pudiated by the people Of the state
as often as presented heretofore. A
full Wing vote has always resulted
in Whig victory. The result will
be the same this fall with full vote
Wings see that your organization il
such that every Whtg cote in th'
county is polled on the 2nd Tuesday
| in October.

The Bsstesman--BEr. VIntoa-.RederaIIsus-
Land BIII.

= The Statesman of the Sd inst. has
Characteristic article in relation TO Mr..
Vinton, in which there is about as much
truth as usually enters in one of its edi-
'tcxials, that is, rather more falsehood
than trcth.
His first charge is that Mr.. Vinton is
or was federalist, and opposed the war
of 1919. This is the old cry OF raw
head and bloody bones, to which that
lying sheet always resorts, when il has
nothing substantial TO object. Now Mr..
Vinton came a Young man to Ohio in
1916; of course during the war he was
a mere boy. So much for lie No. /.
The next falsifed fact is that he op
posed the bill to grant land bounties to
soldiers, because he had sort of an
tipathy against them. This is untrue
as whohe. He did vote against thai
Bib as against every other which has
been pressed by Spectators to enable
them to get possession Of the public
lands. This bill was never got up by
the soldierss but by spectators; by men
who had, as we happen to knew, in ud'
vance of the law, bought up their rights
at$1O and $50 each Ere the law wa'
ever passed, we heard of agents travel
ling through the State and buying u
these rights; and then came the pres
s2re upon Congress to pass this bill Q
fraudulent pretences; and every mem
7ber, who bad the moral courage to ex
pose this. stupendous scheme of fraud
was assailsd Just in the style of tn
Statesmansby the lowest bAlingsgate an
the grossest abuse. It required ma
or unBending integrity to stand up i
defence Of the right under such pre-:
-sure Of calumny and dstraction. Mem
eers were threatened BY these fraudu
lent spectators and their hired presses
Now Mr.. Vinton knew the tr1e charac
ter of Ibis whole scheme and he tried 1
save the public domain from passin
into such hands, and when he found Ii
5 bill was 10 pass. he then aided in cuttin

money and give it away to any class Of
citizens however meritoriousi What
right has Congress to take our money
from US by .sxation and give it to an
totberi Where citizen has been dis
abled or reduced to poverty in public
service, he has some claim to a grstuity.
But here these lands were given TO the
rich as well as those who were not so.
Now we ask again what right have the
representatives of the people 10 giue
away to few the money or land be-
longing to alli - a
There had been no petitions for such
a law. The soldiers themselves did
not-ask for il; did not request Congress
to portion them ss paupers upon the
public treasury. These noble defen-
ders of their country, and homes. their
wives and children, their brothers and
sisters. never set up such claim for
themselves; it was set up by dema-
gogues and spectators; that to gain
popularity; this to make money.
There is wonderful harmony between
the Abolition and Locofoco presses;
both work together like brothers in
abuse Of Mr.. Vinton. This makes US
believe that they are growing desperate
under the growing prospects for his
election, we'll knowing that thereby the
one will lose its chancellor plunder, and
the other its chance for agitation.
Gallipolis journal. [volume] (Gallipolis, Ohio) 1837-1919, 1851-09-11


We take the following words oi
seasonable encouragement and ex'
hortation from the ChiIlicothe Ga
zetie. We commend them TO the
attention OF the Wings Of Gallia.
The Locofoco leaders seem to
think it sin that the Wings should
organize, but their fears Of such
Organization should only prompt Us
to renewed and increased activity
and that we trust will be the effect
procured:
The Wings Of Ohio succeed when
they actively enter the canvass, and
rely upon their own strength and
exertions. Then they organize
then they roll up the majorities.-
Without organization. from State
organization down through the coun-
ty 10 the small ward, township, and
school districts, little can be done or
expected. Candidates and indiVid-
uals here and there may work, bui
the masses will remain Indifferent
and unmoved. Organizations can
not be effected without work, and
the labor necessary to organize will
"set the ball in notion"
The election in October may justly
be looked upon as the most important
State contest ever held in Ohio
The offices to be filed are much IN
creased by the new Constitution,
and the ship o. State has to be fresh
manned throughout. Whether Ohio
is to continue 20 press forward in
prosperity under full canvass, OF 60
veering about under The guidance ol
reckless radicalism, will depend upon
the efforts OF the Wings between
this and the second Tuesday Of Oc-
tober. 1e IS

The American Arr Union.

This institution, located in the city
of New York. has risen in public es-
timation and confidence beyond any
other similar institution in the coun-
try. Its income for the last two
years has run up TO the sum OF $780,
800 in lS49, and SSl, $50 in 1850.
In these two years they distributed
over 400 paintings each year, besides
500 medals and other works OF art.
The present year they will have
the usual number Of paintings and
medals, and each subscriber will re-
ceive six fine line engravings on steel,
Of the very highest artistic execution.
A print Of h1r. Jones' line Engra-
wing on Steel, measuring nineteen in
ches by twenty-one inches, after Mr..
WoodviIle's celebrated painting OF
Mexican News, representing group
at the door of an inn, listening 10
the reading Of an account Of the first
battles OF the late Mexican war. A
set Of FIVE prints from finished line
engravings on steel, of the average
size OF eightinches by ten inches, and
executed by distinguished American
Engravers. after the following paint
ings, viz: Marion crossing the Pedee,
by Ranney; Mount Washington,
from the Valley OF Conway, by Ken
sett; American Harvesting Scenery
by Cropsey; Old '76 and Young AS
by WoodviIle; Bargaining for q
Horse, by Mount. Thus forming a
Gallery OF American Art, Of conVe
nient size for binding, or for preser
vation in a portfolio, instead OF fra.
ming, if desired.
The above is a list Of the engra
wings for the present year; the pric'
OF which in the shops could not b,
less than from IS to $40. the larg'
incoming of this institution enable
it TO obtain engravings OF the yer!
highest merits-which institution
OF more limited income can not d.
without exhausting h ir who'll

therefore, that all who wish to sub

scribing to this in preference to an.
other. The engravings Of the las

laden is enough TO encourage the
most skep;ical.
The farmers are laboring under
the greatest disadvantage In not
knowing whether the Commissioners
will recognize their claims and make
good their titles. This Is keeping
many from going on and making
many improvements which thew
contemplate. In San Jose the squir.
rels and gophers are making sad ha-
voc with crops, in many instances
destroying whole fields. The miners
on the Mississippi bar are principally
engaged in carting dirt from the ta-
bic lands to the river, and there
washing it, which pays fair profit.
On the North Fork United States
company have nearly completed q
rock-cutting one-fourth OF mile in
length and twenty feet deep, which
is to divert the entire river from its
natural course. AT Mormon Island
a continuous Race has been dug for
a mile at a cost Of 100000. At
Negro Bay the river is turned for
one mile, aud the bed Of the river is
dry after turning the current by the
use Of an Arch median pump.
The public buildings al Velaico
were TO have been commenced on
the lst day. The passage Of the
steamer Independence to Virgin bar,
over good road, was made in fve
hours; thence across Lake Nicaragua
in IL hours, and down the river in.
l6 hours running time to San Juan
| Del Norte. Another steamer had
been completed 10 run on the river
between the rapids. During the
stay Of the Independence at San Juan
Del Norte, carpet bag containing
$1,000 was stolen from a man named
Selden Golf, Of New York.
The waiter at the Hotel, who was
seen near the missing money, was
suspected and without delay, and
after a short investigation, the pris-
oner was taken 10 the woods, guarded
by two Californiuns, followed by =
third bearing a long roUe-arrivIng
at the place appointed for the execu-
tion, the moose was adjusted to tho
prisoners neck, the other end being
thrown over branch then, and his
eyes were blinded, his hands tied, and
he was told hs had 6 minutes to make
peace with God. He kneeled for a
moment and then rose to his feet ;
after choking him for some time, and
without getting any confession as to
where he had hid the money, they
relieved him. The Police attempted
to interfere and arrest the ring lead
ers, and aid was sought from an Eng
, lish brig Of war, which was refused.
The Prometheus was searched, but
the affair ended without making any
prisoners.
