Attention Mr.. Clark

Being without the information which IA Voter"
seeks respectfully request Mr. Clark to an.
swer his query, and tender him the use of our
columns for the purpose. The inquiry is legti-
mate and an answer easy.
MEssRs. EDITORS: Can you inform the voters
of Campbell what the position of Mr.. Boiling
Clark is respecting the present Gubernatoral
contest! Whether he fayors the election of Mr.
Wise, or of the American Candidate. Mr.. Flour
noy Mr.. Clark announces himself as an indie
pendent wing candidate for the county. and SO it
may be inferred al least that he will not support
the democratic nominee for Governor. Al last
Campbell county court he declared to the writer
that he would support Flournoy and Patton, but
would not pledge himself to Messrs. Beale and
Claiborne; it is currently stated in the
county that he has pledged himself not to vote
for Flournoy. How is this-can you or Mr..
Clark give the desired information to

Tbe MONTGOMERY District.

We had the pleasure taking by the hand the
gallant young champion of the American party
in this district, Tuesday, on his passage to tho
scene Of the canvass. He enters upon the con-
test animated by the enthusiasm and spirit with
which his glowing nature impels him to every
worthy undertaking, and inspired by confidence
which knows such word as fail. We have
every reason TO believe that he will come out of
the canvass crowned with victory. The impress
sion INDUCED by some persons that the district
is hopelessly democratic, much more that it is
anti American, is a total mistake. Summers
carried it over johnson in 1851 by ZIG major
ity, and writer in the Enquirer comedies it to
Flournoy by 375 votes. We know no reason why
staples should fall a vote behind Flournoy. We
-suhjon the estimate of the Enauirer's CORES
pondent. In our judgment, the majority he al
lows may be safely quadrupled; but the Amer-
cans must work with an ardor worthy of the great
cause they espouse, and the noble champions
they have chosen.

Hon. Paulus Powell.

Is there faithful Democrat in Virginia who
will not rejoice with u.s. when we announce that
intelligence from all portions of the Red Land Dis
trict assures US Of the certainty of this gallant
and tried public servant election Richmond
Examiner.
Our information is exactly the reverse of this,
and living upon the border of the district, famil
iarly acquainted with most Of the counties COM
posing it, we have better opportunities than the
Examiner of knowing the true state of things
Mr.. Powell, himself we venture TO say, would
give high premium to have the prediction of
his friend insured. We will wager the E1ami-
ner "a ducat to a denier'' that Mr. Powell is ono
ofthe worst beaten candidates in Eastern Nir-
pinia

CITY AND STATE DEPARTMENT.

TOBACCO of all kinds is commanding fine. prl-
in this market, especially fine yellow wrap
pers. We would say to our friends of the
adjoining counties if they will bring in all they
have with little delay possible, they may
be sure of getting good prices.
BEpFoRD.-We learn that WIN. NJ. Burwell.
Esq. and Samuel Moorman, Esq, have been NOM
inatce by the American party, as candidates for
the House of Delegates in Bedford. Splendid
ticket and will succeed by a very large minority.
CosT OF LIvING-IIIGH Es.-Proyisons of
nil kinds are now bringing almost unhear,'-of pri
ces in Lynchburg, especially -four, potatoes but
ter beef and such things. If flour continues TO
adyance Mt the rate it has been doing recently,
we fear it will produce much distress among the
poor, to whom il is the staff of life. There Is
said to be plenty of III the country, but there
might as well be scarcity. for all the effect IT
has on prices. The cost of living is such as
should induce economy among those who new
er practised it before To workmen, me-
chanics, clerks, and all others small sala
ries the maintenance Of family is matter
of and anxiety at present and 1t re-
qufes ingenuity ana good management 10 mike
both ends meet, financially. Perhaps this Is prov
denta, in view of the universal habits of eNtray-
aganco and luxury cngendered by the recent era
of prosperity and imitation. These high prices
and hard times, il is to be hoped, will have ten-
dency to restore things to more healthy condi-
ton, and teach our citizens the severe but
wholesome lesson of prudence and economy.
They should now learn to reduce their wants and
live as necessity shows them they ought always
10 have done.
The New York Courier furnishes small crumb
of comfort After making extensive inquires,it is
of opinion that prices have reached the highest
fgures,a and that there will be retrograde move
ment within three weeks. 1t is earnestly to be
hoped that this opinion of the Courier will prove
correct and we have confidence that such will
be the case.

the ablucing Of slaves as to punish those tohNlt
ted thereof with death, and the forfeiture Of thC
property engaged therein &c.
Dy Mr. Mallory joint resolution, that com

means to prevent the escape Of slaves from this
Commonwealth to the Northern States, aud TO pro
vide for the summary punishment Ut persons de
tccted in aiding or abcttng tho same, und report
thereon to this General Assembly.
Mr.. Mallory reviewed, briefly, the necessity that
existed for some measures to check this system o.
robbery Iractieed by northern abolitionisa towards
the South, lie referred to the fact Of shipmasers
having actually entered the domics Of persons in
y t.iO.E during their absence from tho plague, and
solicited, nay, in some instances, forced their slaves
away. lie said that scarcely day passed that
slaves did not escape through the instrumentality
OF northern cmisSariGs.

Mr.. Garnet, Of Essex, moved to amend the res

SLAVERY At THE NORTH.

The seven several enumerations of the inhaLi-
tans of the United States, reveal some facts rela
tive to slavery north Of Mason and Dixon's line,
which at hat day appears curious:
Mane-This State had no slaves.
New uampshire-ln l1GO, l5S slaves in 1900
Il; after that date none.
Vcrmont-In 1890, II slaves afterward none.
Masaachusets--Noneb by any census.
Rhode lsand--In $780, 952 slaves; in $500, 3Sl;
in 1870 I03; in 1920, AS in 1880; II; in 1910, 4;
in 1850 none.
New York-In 1890, 1854 slaves; in $500, 60,
3j3; in 1870 j,0l7 in 1920, l00S8; in $780, IS;
in l940 A. in 1850 none.
New Jersey--In 1890 1l432; slaves in 1900
L, ,422; in 1910, 1851; in 1890, 1861; in 1880
2,254 in lS40 GA; in 1850, 23j,
Pennsylvania-In 1870, 3737 slaves, in 1900
7O6 in 1910, 1875; in 1890 oil; 1889, 103; in 1910
Ga; in 1880 none.
in the new States north Of the Ohio, slavery ha.
had but slight foothold.
The census in 1910 mentions 3 in Ohio; no other
census returns any.
Michigan is represented to have. had q slaves il
1910 and 50 in 1880
Indiana had l35 by the census OF 1900; 237 il
1910; 100 in 1920; and in 1910.
Illinois had les slaves in 1910; III in 1920
TAT in 1880; 33l in 1910; and none in 1850.
Wisconsin had II in 1910, and Iowa had lG in

AFTER THE BATTLE.

Now that time enough has elapsed since the po-
litical battle which has been fighting all over the
Free States to allow the smoke to clear away, and
the numbers Of dead wounded and missing of be
counted up, it may not be amiss to take n look at
the state of the battlefield and the condition and
prospects of the bclligcrent power. We are parti-
cuarly we'll qualified for the Office by our posi-
ton on the heights above, as spectators OF the
fght-not unhtcrested ones, indeed but impartial
We could not take an active part in the engage
ment because we could not but discern that both
armies though apparently arrayed against each
other, and really so in the intendment and belief
of many of the champions, were in reality both
of them in league with the Common Enemy of the
Free States and of Humanity. That those with
whom we personally felt the strongest sympathy
and sincere respect for their motives and pur-
noses though nominally in arms against the Slave
Despotism for some of It's outrage excesses,
were thus really acknowledging its sovereignty de
facto and strengthening its hands at the very time
they we're in apparent conflict with it, We do'not
believe in these tactics. When we 90 to war,
we shall not only count the cost, but we shall
make sure that we are not fighting on the enc
my's side. We shall not enter upon our political
campaign against Slavery by swearing allegiance
to it, nor carry it on under cover of jealous love
of that Alliance which alone gives 1t the breath
of life.
We are sometimes asked what we Disunionists
expect to do. We will answer We have always eX
pected to do inst what we have done we have
made u nla,rto all s,ayeh5l9elE md 70 oli non
