The Campaign over.

To-day, the great battle for Presidential
electors must be fought. We are glad Of ii.
We dislike the quarreling, the strife, the
chickering's engendered by heated political
contest. We have tried TO avoid any par
ticipa,ion in party quarrels. How we'll we
have succeeded, our readers can judge for
themselves. In reviewing our course, we
find no cause for regret. On the other hand,
we have much TO feel proud of. Should our
life be spared many years, we expec, 10 look
back upon This campaign with pride and sat.
isfaction. We believe we have been slrug-
Cling for the right, and so firm is our faith
we should vote the Wing ticket, if not an
other man in the United States followed oul
example.
The campaign tonight will be over, anc
all good citizens will cheerfully acquiesct
in the will of the majority. Gradually tht
excitement will subside, and other matters
will absorb the public mind. The column,
Of the Telegraph will hereafter contain ar
ticies on greater variety Of subjects. w
make no large promises; by the past yol

The mail arrangements throughout the
county Ore extremely poor. We see no pro-
priety in establishing mail routes throughout
a county, having no immediate connection

is very moderate request, and The accom-

great. As the mails are a, presen, conveyed

Railroad to Columbus.

We publish this week communication
written by Mr.. J. F. Somers for the Ohio
S.ale Journal, on the subject Of the proposed
railroad from Pomeroy 10 Columbus, 10
which we invite particular attention. We
also copy an editorial from the Athens Mes.
senger, on the same subject. By perusal
of the last-named article, i, will be observed
thu. an effort is being made OF Athens TO
make ,ha, place the terminus of the Colum.
bus road, by connecting it with the Marietta
road, and thus reaching the Ohio river a,
Belpre. Why not say Wheeling or Pitts.
burg2 So far from agreeing with our Mes
senger friend in making Athens The terminus
of tie Columbus and Pomeroy railroad, We
see no necessity for even passing through
Athens at all. Our present impression is
that when The road is built, Athens will bt
about five miles from It's nearest point. Per
haps we are 100 fnst. 1t may be that ,h
Columbus, Lancaster, and Athens" road
is an entirely new project, having no con
nec,ion Whatever with The Columbus ant
Pomcroy road. II so, we beg the gentle
mans pardon. We shall recur 10 tho sub
jecl again soon.

Disturbamces.

We were pained, on last Tuesday even
ing, in Witnessing The display Of intolerance
manifested by certain individuals, princi-
pally boys. Although we have conclusive
evidence that certain Democrats were in
fault, yet the Whig boys were greatly to
blame for initiating their example. Such
opposition is calculated TO do our cause more
harm than good. We hope those boys who
are in the habit of tanning everybody who
choosesi TO "Hurrah for PIERCE" will remem.
Der that such things simply engender bitter
feelings among Democrats, and sympathy
for the insulted among right.thinking Wings.
Such disturbances as we witnessed los, Tues.
day night, at the Court house and on the
street were inexcusable. They were as bad
as some scenes which occurred in Congress
last winter.

Fugitive Slave Law.

In another column may be found an arti-
Gle, copied from the National Era, the CEN
trail and leading organ of Free Soiism in
The United States, giving the yeas and nays
on the passage Of the Fugitive Slave Law
We copy i, verbatim and enIire. Our OBJ
ject in doing SO is 10 stop the mouths of Ger.
tain persons, who are asserting what they
ought 10 know is false. For instance:
Free Soiler said in our hearing the other
day that S. F. vin,on voted in fauor Of the
Fugitive Slave Law. We frequently hear
it asserted that this Law was passed by nor.
.hern Wing votes-,hat The northern Dem.
ocraIs voted agains. it. If panisans will lie,
we wish the public 10 know The truth, that
these falsehoods may do no harm.
We wish to take few exceptions 10 Mr.
Bailey's classification. Among those named
as Freesoilers, who voted against the Law
in the House, EIGHT were Wings, viz
Tuck, Allen, Howe, Campbell, Crowel, Gid
dings, Hunter, and Root; and THREE Dem.
ocrais, viz: Preston King, Julian, and Dur.
kee. Some Of The Wing Freesoilers were
elected as Wings, and have always actec
with the Wing party.
We do not seek TO make political capita
Out of this article. Even if we desired tc
do so, it is TOO late now. But when we SEE
Free Sellers coalescing with Democrats, W,
are forced TO exclaim, 30, consistency! thol

COLUMBUS, LANCASTER AND ATHENS
RAILRoAD.-No other project in the State
has al this time stronger claims upon public
attention, or numbers more Jealous and able
advocates in its favor thun the proposed
Railroad from the City Of Columbus, by the
way Of Lancaster and the Hooking Valley,
to the intersection at Athens with the Ma.
rieua and Cincinnati Railroad, leading
through Parkersburg TO Baltimtr'. Already
in connection with Cincinnati and the Lake,
and by various opening channels preparing
to look weStsUard and eastward, the central
influence a. the Capitol of the State, naural-
ly looks to the Hooking Valley, as opening
desirable channel for the shortest and
most direct communication ,oith the atlantic
Sedboard.
"The striking advantage 10 be seen in
the directness and character Of this Valley
for an independent line of Railroad from
Columbus 10 Baltimore, supported in its
claims by numerous fourishng towns, and
the diversified local interests upon either
hand, could not long fail 10 point out this as
the most important Improvement awaiting
public attention. In addition, too, is the ne
cessity for more direct intercourse with the
city of Baltimore, than Columbus can hope
10 enjoy through the Central Ohio Railroad
terminating at Wheeling.
"Ths most important feature seems me-
cessary 10 perfect the extending system of
Railway Improvements centering into the
capital Of Ohio, and not less as a through
channel than in its tendency 10 promote the
various local interests of an interesting,
though somewhat neglected portion Of the
State. this enterprize may we'll challenge
comparison in importance with any other in
Ohio. ....
with easy grades, following the descent
of the Hooking Valley almost the entire dis
lance 10 Athens, and offering route com.
paratively free from any considerable OBJ.
struction, the channel thus opened will be
found shorter. and in other respects more
desirable, than any other let,oeen The same
points.
1.-THE distance upon the Columbus, Lam
caster, Athens and Parkersbmg route to Bal
limore, can not exceed 490 miles-say
"Columbus TO Athens 72 miles.
"A,hens to Parkersburg 81 miles.
Parkersburg to Baltimore 384 miles,
against $50 by the wuy Of GAINESVILLE and
Wheeling.
"Wi.h the numerous advantages in It's
favor, and the strong necessity for its early
construction, we hope to see prompt meas
ures taken, on the part of its numerous
friends, for advancing this improvement,
without delay"
