We spent two weeks Ii canvassing n
rather passing through these counties.
Our trip was bod, prof.ablo and pleasant
as the ci,izens were friendly and, cheerful
The crops ara excellent, but money was
unusually scarce, especially 10 the Guyap
country. owing the fact that there has
been no rise IN Guyan river this season.
This has prevented the running out"o Of
timber and lumber. In addition to this
the failure OF the corn crop, 81 Inst year,
prevented the sale Of cattle, large herds
Of which are raised and the principal in
come Of tl,e mountaineoss is derived from
their sale.
The country is poorly supplied with
Democratic newspapers, while that party
have 4 large majority in those counties.
The opponents Of truth take advantage 81
this, by putting into circulation, to other
sections, incredible falsehoods. To give
the reader an idea Of the reports. We will
give ono which they are circulating freely
IN Boone county viz: that Seward, Of
N Y, was kicked out Of the American
convention IN Philadelphia for Abolition
ism, and the Democrats took him up and
run him for Governor Such reports
are calculated to do much injury, where
there are no newspapers to contradict
and prove tlieif falsity. rs the Democrats
stand united on the slavery question,
which is more. sorry for it, than We can
say Of the K. N. party in those counties.
We are compelled to believe reinstatement
of an old Southern Wing, who stated TO
us that Il (he) need not go out Of Western
Virginia to find thousands of Abolition
ists." Thisis fact, and If any one who
may. doubt it, will ride from house to
house and inquire Of the political creed
Of the inhabitants, and of the books and
newspapers supported by them he will,
undou btcdly, agree with us. II r.
The result Of this is, that many slave
holding Wings have determined. to have
nothing further to do with the new party;
whilst the Democracy are standing frmer
to their old party and principles, and bat
Ting ferccly against the lana'ical heres les
which have been imported from the North.
Our paper was well received, and We
obtained a goodly number Of sub scribers
for the short time out--four daysin each
county-wlich was not one-four th the
time necessary to thoroughly canvass the:
counties, yet we hope our friends will
use their. influence in our bella II, and
secure for the Star" a large circulation
in their respective counties. -.. @

Gordon Bennett, editor of the New York
Herald, full-blooded, imported Scotch
man. And the most prominent eandi-
date among them for the Presidency the
one, we are told, who was the choice of
a large majority Of the delegates of the
party in the late Philadelphia pow-vow, is
George Law, or "Live Oak &c orge," as
his admirers are wont to call him, a full
blooded freshman, direct from the shores
of ,"Green Erin" The consistency of
these poor, misguided mortals can be
seen at a glance by reading the oath Of
promise they take when they enter the-or-
der. Beware Of foreign influence is
their cry continually, and they are sworn
never to give their vote for Office to any
foreign-born citizen or Catholic. Mr..

RAILWAY RArcs.-The Boston Post, in
. late number, somew hat deliberately argues
the question whether the charges on railway
traffic should be increased. II says the re-
ports of several companies TO the Massachu-
sets Legislature, justify the conclusions
LIST, that the expenses Of railways have in
creased, since 1912, nearly thlrty-seven per
cent. I'd, that the merchandise traffic has
increased in greater ratio than the passen-
ger,-3d, that the rates charged for mer-
chandize traffic have hitherto been scarcely
remunerative.
The Post thinks these conclusions are
correct, and il is Of the opinion that the
rates ought to raised. We presume the
facts and the consequent conclusions are
more applicable 10 eastern than western
railways, and We doubt not that the latter
are doing a very remunerative business at
present prices;-ihat is, where they did not
pay too much for the means to build the
road.
