"M'ARrBun, March 10. 1855,
MF, EDlroR;-Jl propose, through the
medium Of your excellent journal, Civ,
ing a short history Of the progress, hopes
aud institutions Of our goodly village
Having always iabored under the
disadvantage Of an exclusive "inland'
situation, the progress Of M'Arthur ia
buildings and population has, necsssari-
y been slow. Oar prospects for the
luiure, however, are becoming decided
ly brighter, as we are soon to be placed
in closer proximity to the "rest of man.
kind" by railroad connections; Upon
this subject, however. need not expa
Iiate, as our newspapers are constantly
keeping this fact prominently before the
world.
As the object Of this communication
is more particularly intended to inform
yourself and readers something of the
political character of our village and
county, permit me to make the follow.
ing extract from that most delectable Of
sheets-lhe M'Arthur Democrat. "The
people will sustain our officers in pay.
ing fair price for this work" This
was said by the editor Of the above nam
ed sheet in his issue of the 10th inst, in
reference to an offer made by the propri-
etors of the Herald for the printing OF
the Assessors blanks, the Herald men
Offering to do the work for less money
Than has heretofore been paid to BrattOn
The people will not sustain their off
cets in paying higher price for this
work than that proposed by the editors
Of The Heruld; and L. A. Bratton, as
we'll as our Commissioners, will soon
be made to feel it, should they persist in
perpe irating so gross an outrage upon
the people Of this county. This effort
on the part Of our democrats (D editor
however, is highly Characteristic of the
democracy of our country,
whether in County, State, or National
. Olfuirs. The "hungry maw." Of The pets
Of the patent democracy must be filled
and crammed to overaowing; but when
the dsy'of reckoning comes; in other
words. when tax paying time rolls
round, these self4made leaders raise the
cry OF of" Galphinism," "'Whig sKROw
fnancisring," @cn &c.
Now if,Major Bratton and his little,
despicable, but democratic "aOse rag
should survive another twelve month
(which by the way,'is not very likely
to happsn,)we shall be nightly edited
by his lucid explanations Of the "cduses
IF high taxation" The cry of "Whig
RnOW Nothing mismanagement," will
# course be raised But it will be
iept in the dark that the Commissioners
# Vinton county contributed their mite
o the bringing bout Of such dcplora
,Ie result.
Besides all this, Mr.. Editor, we
re blessed by The existence Of a great
Institution in our llidst, viz: the Sag
iichts." They meet occasionally at the
Iogse of one Of our couE.y officers, a
ne ember Of the Roman Catholic Church.
Yes, Mr.. Editor, one of our county
'iicers is a member Of that 0~57 reItg'
Ous-SO denomination.)
Here, with the aid of mean whisky,
rish cheers, and over, beyond, and above
Ill other considerations. the fear OF los.
ng. together with the hope of gaining,
| hold on the Treasury teat, fulsome
Idulation of foreigners and foreignism
S poured out for the eager gulpiag of
The ignorant and debased and drunken
-abble who congtegate in such places,
by ALL the old liner Office holders of fthe
together with those who hope
10 Chamber in place and position by,
such low and GespicabIe appliances.
But the people of "lit;le Vinton"
have put a mark on these men-they
are known and doomed. and the ides OF
next October will prOue the matter TO-
the saafsGaction Of all who may have
the temeri!y to place themselves within
;he reach Of an indignant and outraged
people. Truly yours,
VINT0N.
