10 The Editor efMs Register.

DEAR SIR Please indulge snbscri-
Der with few reflections on the state Of
political matters in our county The time
Is closely approaching when the voters of
this county viii be called upon to vote for
their county officers, who viii be by no
means few on both sides. Imean, wings
and democrats. yet no steps are being ta-
ken to prepare for the contest, by our
democratic friends-no meetings have
been held; nor as far as have heard,
likely to be held. and facts go to prove
that the party is perfectly Indifferent to
their interest in the struggle; they do not
consider that their reputation as party
is involved in the election Of county Off
GERS, as well as in the election of their
Legislators or senator's. They do not con-
slider that many small defeats viii inevi-
tably lead to state of misrule and dis.
traction in their ranks, which viii afford
ample scope for succeeding and heavier
defeats? Defeats did say?, Why that
is improbable. What, defeat Why, the
Democrats have decided majority in
this county, they can easily elect
their officers! Such might have been
the impression, and such the words
of the party before the recent election
for delegates took place. yet they wit
messed result disgracefully to the re-
verse, and simply for a want of proper
organization of the party--a unanimity of
sentiment and action. Such was the pre-
sumption of Santa Anna on the field of
" Buena VISTA" yet old Fac, by a signal
msnoeuvre-by a well concerted move
ment-overthrew the Wanting chief
tain, and stamped his enterprise with dis
grace. Remember that victory is not al
ways to the strong-united we stand, di:
vided we fall. Democratic friends, though
we have considerable majority in the
county, we may by inattention to our in
terests, be overthrown by our opponents,
who will take advantage of our confused
situation, and by subterfuge and cunning
schemes, will succeed in electing the men
of their choice. Then friends, why do
you delay acting in a matter SO important
to your welfare? Now is the time, the
very time. to be up and doing, Will not
the whole democracy of Harrison second
the motion of calling mass meetings in the
different precincts of the county. for the
purpose of appointing delegates to attend
general convention to be held in Clarks-
burg. on the - day of March next. to
nominate candidates for the different
offices, and thereby give the party a
chance to select the men of their choice?
and not to suffer independent candidates.
who are generally maniac aspirants, to
break down and distract the party. Such
are easily dispensed with, by the simple
rule of not voting for them. and support
ing those of whom the party approved
l will wait for the concurrence of my
friends. Let US hear from you.

re- Nine ounces. says the Scientific
American, of pure fresh lime, dissolved in
in forty gallons of water, will purify FIVE
hundred and sixty gallons of hard water;
the precipitate is chalk. 1t takes sixteen
hours for the water to settle and all the
impurities to fall to the bottom of the
vessel which contains the water. This is
a useful fact in chemistry; aud is not very
extensively known.

PARTY ORGAN1zAT1oN.-We commend
to the attention Of our Democratic friends,
the communication of "Junius," found in
another column. His suggestions are
good, and the people should take the mat
ter in hand. The intriguing, political as
pirants will not, as the plan of making
nominations suggested by our correspon-
dent, would overthrow their schemes for
wire-working.

Or an amount sufficient to cover prin-

the work. III ..
am fully aware that to carry out this
plan SO as to meet the object contempla-
ted, and in such manner as to Prevcut
embarrassment, every step must be taken
with caution, aud with view to the har-
mony of the inteserts connected with the
two works, and the city of Baltimore
Whether to move deliberately, or with
rapidity, must depend on circumstances.
The financial convenience of the city is
not to be lost sight OF, and the future de-
velopments of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, should be kept steadily in view.
l am clearly of the opinion that the
North Western Road should be promptly
placed in the hands of contractors. In.
deed, the law requires that this should
be done in two years from the date of
the charter, 1t may be policy to press
it to completion within few months af-
ter the time limited by law, and pru-
dent foresight, on the other hand, might
suggest an extension of the time for a
longer period. The interest of the city
and of the tax payer can be the only
guide. and no plan should be entered
upon in which this was not the para.
mout consideration. If the results of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad be such
as we have reason to anticipate, the
North Western road should be finished
within two years from the time of its
commencement. From the period when
the road could be ready for contract
until the opening of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad in January, 1853, it is
believed by the friends of this measure
that less than $4,000 would be expend-
ed, After that period the labor now
employed on the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad could be transferred to the
Northwestern Road, and the work pros
ecuted with the utmost vigor.
If your honorable body can suggest
or devise any other more feasible plan
by which this great charter can be made
available to the city of Baltimore, am
sure it will be most gratifying to the
friends of this most important measure.
But am free to say, after much reflec-
ton, l can see no other mode by which
this road can be secured to the city of
Baltimore without such a arrangement
of her financial plans as l should not be
willing to encounter, 1t seems to me,
therefore, that by united effort to rem
der the city's interest in the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad productive to her by
the prompt completion Of that great work,
there would be not the slightest difficulty
on its reaching the Ohio river, to make
available the credit Of the city and COM
pany to any extent that might be required,
and without serious tax or burthen upon
our citizens.

Kossuth in Cleveland.

CLEVELAND, Feb. 2.-Kossuth address
cd vast multitude Of the people this
morning, from the balcony Of the Ameri-
can Hotel. He was welcomed to our city
in neat address by Mayor Case. In re-
ply, Kossuth thanked the people for al
lowing him time TO rest before addressing
them. He compared himself to an ex.
hausted bird crossing the foamy ocean,
which rested its tired wings by reposing
itself upon ship until it had become suf.
ticiently restored TO proceed on its way
Their indulgence upon his arrival was
that ship, and he was now beating his
tired wings again. The sympathies he
met he had not created, but only elected,
as the steel elicits sparks which had pre-.
existed in the flint. He refused to prom.
Use to pronounce his opinions upon partic.
ular questions, because they were not his
business His hands were already so full
that if he attempted to grasp more, he
could hold nothing. Besides, by creating
discord among the people, by discussing
certain questions, he would only do the
work of Hulseman and Bodisco, and he
was not fool enough in that way to be.
come the fool of Russia.
Kossuth proceeded in this strain for n
considerable length of time, and his re.
marks were received with great enthusi-
asm.
Kossuth has determined TO decline the
invitation of the Cincinnati committee to
have public dinner reception in that 81.
ty, and will dispatch Pulski there to.mor.
row; The following is an extract from
MS letter to the committee, giving his
reasons for his declination:
