with qualification in every portion of the district and

Here, in Cambria county, here the Wing candi-

refuse to support him, while others will oppose him
openly and bitterly. The majority against him Will
be overwhelming and if the Democrats OF. Hunting

Thomas E, FORSYTH.

The above named gentleman is our candidate
for Canal Commissioner. We have had the pleas
urc Of some personal acquaintance with him. and
can assure the Democratic voters Of the district
that they can trust him. He IS about fifty years
of age, carpenter by trade; and among his
own ncichbors in Philadelphia county, it will be
difficult to find man who win not tell you he is
distinguished for honesty and integrity, for in
dustry and sobricty. He was for two years
member Of the House of Representatives at Har-
risburg, and three years in the Senate. And last
winter at Harrisburg, It was common remark
that no public man or legislator could point to his
votes. and show so 50 clean a record, so stead
fast, consistent and thoroughly Democratic a
course of conduct. Noman was more universal
" respected at harrisburg, and no one was more
attentive to his duties. He could speak well,
when his duty requiredit, but he seeks no dis
play. His plain and simple manners his thor
ough business habits, his good judgment, and his
steady unwavering Democracy were noticed and
admired by all. Henecds no endorsement to in
sure his election. But We like to have our friends
know the character Of the man thcy vote for and
in this instance there IS no mistake about the
merit and good character Of our candidate

BY this table it appears that ton Of corn is
estimated not to be worth hauling, by wagon,
when 10 miles from market; while at the same
distance upon a line of railroad, it would be
worth 522 20. ) ton of wheat $50 miles from
market is not worth the hauling by wagon. but
by railroad it would be worth S44 55 Thus. as
land may be near or mere remote from lines Of
railroad is its value enhanced over and above the
value had there been no such railroad. This IS
an important consideration to farmers when call
ed upon to aid in the construction of railroads,
and should influence their actions IN the mat
ter.
While it thus develops the physical resources
of the country, and by the ready means of inter
communication it affords, makes distant points
accessible, the railroad is also intimately connec-
ted with Commerce, and with all its powers and
results, is peculiarly its agent, and has exerted
potential influence in the development and ex-
tension Of modern trade, and Is destined to work
still greater changes and more vast achievements
in behalf of the Commerce Of the future.
Such being the fact and railroads being the

to some indulgence in oysters, or uin.. u.
wholesome diet. We do not ordinarily speak
of oysters rs unwholesomc, but many of the
largest and finest which are brought to our
market, are gathered from brackish, not salt,
water. This year the body Of fresh water
has extended almost to our harbor, and even
there the fresh water prcdomnates much
more than it usually does. As a consequence
of this, oysters, which requires saft water,
are diseased and dying; many OF them are
dead, weeks ago and yet from the midst Of
these dead plies arc gathered, portion of
that which is sold in our market rs food for
man. If the hungry could distinguish be-
tween the sound and the unsound oysters.
there might be some excuse for their obsti-
macy in continuing to eat them, but when one
does not know, whether he is swallowing
food, Or poison, his determination, to eat at
all hazards, is little else than courting suicide.
We assure them, upon the best authority, that
the % deaths already reported, and several
others yet to appear, have arisen from impru-
dence of this Sort The existence OF some
such cause in all the cases, leave no room
for doubt on this subject Our atmosphere,
It is true, has been damp, and temperature
very changeable, but there is no evidence of
its having caused Cholera OF other epidemic.
Let the lovers of Oysters, &C., only abstain
for short time, until our waters resume their
accustomed saltncss, and the reports of Chol.
era will soon cease then they may indulge,
without danger, in their lavorite dish.-South-
