Richmond daily Whig. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1842-1861, 1856-10-18


W,Srs. Editora-Havug passed recent, from YOUR
city Wheeling, by way of the Baltimore aud Ohio Rail
Road and from thence this city through the central
part OF the States Of Ohio. Indiana and Illinois have
dotted down lev observations made by the wayside
which may possibly interest oI your readers The
Baltimore aud Ohio Road passes through wild and pic
turesque country much OF which on the Nmthw..t.ru
end Of the line, yet untouched by the hand of art and
nature revels in all her primitive glory where the wny
has been carved out for the "on-hoscn thro her hills
and along her valleys Too much be said in praise
Of that company, who by their enterprise and persever
have solved the problem that fret rate railw,v
connection may be made through any portion our com
mOnwealth, and am happy to See that their atDur il
being waIded by aheayy trade and travel
y for Wheeling the Central Ohio Rail Road connects with
tile Baltimore Road four miles below that city.
The evidences OF bad crops from dry weather present
themselves IRON the ONO river all through Ohio Indiana
and Illinois, and understand il is the case n Ken
lucky No where in those states will there be more T. mn
half crop OF corn and but for the fact that they have
good stock of old hand the chance for att.nug
their pokers" would be bad Indeed at the best hogs
rule high tor the coming season saw halter com
the James River and between your city aud Prederick
burg. than have any where in the West even ON
the Muskingum and Miami bottoms 30 celebrated for
their crops The nearly all dry and the
beautiful Ohio, is like lovely maiden whose we'll deve.
Hoped form has been wasted by disease aud whose pgp
aud rosy cheeks have become hollow and have the scky
hue Of the sepuchre. Whilst at Wheeling had he
political topics Of the day, by Hon Me- Kenuet late
o from Ell. city and Mr. Perpont Of Fairmont Va Both
gentlemen made stirring aud effective speeches in behalf
OF the Union aud Fillmore. NJ. KenneI was on his re-
turn from trip 70 NewYork aud he grave IL a. his dec
ded conviction that the only chance beat Fremont in
NewYork well AZ iu other Northern States was for tbs
democrats 70 unite Fillmore. Buchanan stands no
earthly chance for election either before the people or in
the House. and unless Fillmore gets the assistance of the
democrats Of New York, Fremont will be elected by the
people. hnd that 70 be the opinion Of intelligent gentle
every where have been and the elections 10 come
on next Tuesday will prove the Of the calcu.
atiOn. Let the democrats Of New York vote for Fillmore
ard that will throw the election IN the House aed then
either Fillmore or Breckenridge will be President think
the latter M Peirpont who Is gentleman Of intsll
gence and we'll posted IN political Affairs informed me that
FlmOres vote In Western, Va, would greatly e1ceed
Fournoys and the Eastern part Of the state would do a.
well Tor Fillmore they did for FOufnOy he had no doubt
Of carrying the State. The Fremont electoral ticket will
take on silence great many democratic votes IN North
Western Va. ~ Ohio inclined 10 think that Ere.
mont will get than both the other tickets com
bined there be wild onthu-Asm there among
the masses which will tell most fearfuy on the day Of
election Both the Democratic aud Fillmore parties are
making Triangular fight Of IT, firing their shots respec.
lively into the Fremont camp and winkinga well done 70
each other Illinois Indiana and Missouri are each conf
denty oaimeG by the three parties and will IN all prolab
lily be- equally divided Fremont getting Illinois Fillmore
Indana and Buchanan Missouri. I would not come 10
that conclusion however but for the fact that geat many
conservative Union Democrats and Frenoners are com
ing 20 FILLMORE the best calculated 10 save the
Union and restore Pesce and harmony TO beloved
country.
