AEsREPUBLICAN,, DELEGATE AID.
yISED TO LEAVE VIRGINIA.

We mentioned on Saturday, 2sth ut,
that the citizens of Fauquier County.
Virginia, held a meeting on the Goth, at
Piedmont Station, to express their in
~diguatiOn at the alleged conduct of Mr.
j. G. Underwood in pretending to rep
resent Virginia in the Republican Con-
v%ention at Philadelphia. The meating,
it appears, adopted resolutions discar-
ding all sectional parties, adhering to tt c
Constitution and the Union as it is, and
~denouncing as a libel any attempt to
make an impression that Freesoil or alb
clifton doctrines are gaining a foothold
in Virginia. a committee was appoint
ted to convey the sentiments of the NEE,
ting to Mr.. Underwood, and to inform
him that they deem it just and adEisa.
bic that he should leave the State as
speedily IS he can fnd it in his power to
do co."

Editor Ashland Union SIR :-As YOU
appear 10 be laboring with comIncndable zeal
10 keep your readers posted in regard to all
matters affecting their political, social and pc
cuniary welfarcs, permit us to call their atten-
ton to the fact that we have just received tbs
that we have ever brought to this market. An
extended enumeration of our stock we deem
altogether unnecessary for the reason that eve
ry one who will favor us with a call will find it
complete in every department. We would
simply simply say that it embraces articles of
every style, variety and quality of Ladies
Dress Goods, and Gentlemeu's Summer Wear.
together with a large assortment of House
keeping Goods, Queensware, Groceries, dc.
Having changed our mode of doing business,
it will be proper for US to state, for the salts
faction Of our old customers, briefly. our rea-
sons for so doing. Our first great object is. to
sell goods CHEAP. To do this We must have the
money to buy our goods cheap. We wish to
avoid The losses of bad debts and " long wind
ed customers we wish to save the expense
of keeping books and making collections. By
so doing we can and will sell goods at much
less profits than is possible for any credit store
to do LIST, because we shall have the money
to buy our goods, which will save US 10 per
cent, End, because we shall save the expense
of one Clerk Sd. we will save 5 per cent. for
making collections, losses by bad debts and
expense of books. All things considered. we
thinkit safe to say that it Will make a. differ
ence of at least Is per cent. to the consumer.
This being true we think every man, woman
and child who can pay for their goods, will
avail themselves of the advantages of this sys-
TEN. Those who never expect to pay for their
goods. of course care but little about the price.
All those who wish to buy goods cheap for rea
dy pay can find a stock of goods which for va
riety, styles and low prices, has never been
equaled in the County, by calling on their
friends and well-wishers,

OUR RAIL ROAD.GLoRIcUS
NEWS.

It is well known that the Board of
Directors of our Rail Road have deter.
mined on taking the Road to Mansfield,
and hat means and men are already Sc
cured to complete the Road from Day
ton to Mansfield Immediately. At a
meeting of the Board at Mansfield yes
terday, they further agreed to furnish
means to push the Road on TO the west
side of the Black Fork, if tho people of
ashland would furnish the means to
bIld the Road from Ashland to that
point--in short, to meet them half way,
and thus complete the Road from Mans
field to Ashland and give US an outlet.
This is the last chance for securing a
Road certain to this place, and it only
requires the Stockholders who are still
in arrearers to pay ap promptly, to Sc
cure tie Road. Let there DO no hold
ing back now-it is a matter of life or
death with Ashland.

OELEsHArIoN AT NEW LONDON.

We have received the proceedings of
the grand National Celebration at New
London on the 4th-some nine pages of
manuscript. Our friends must excuse
us from publishing them, as they con-
tain a large amount of surplus matter
of no interest TO anybody but themselves.
We could fill a paper. three times the
size-of our own with the matter that
crowds upon us every week, and which
is Of vital importance. We cheerfully
give, however, a brief synopsis of the
proceedings.

BASE ATTEMPT TO DECEIVE THE
PEOPLE,.


Al the Black Republican gathering
on the 4th inst, we were an eye witness
to one of the basest attempts to deceive
the people ever attempted in a political
controversy. Wm. Dan, Esq, of Woos
ter, one of the regular speakers, V lille
commenting on the doctrin of popular SO d.
ereignty as urged by the Democracy, as
serted the full power of Congress over tho
Territories, and said that he would read
what the Constitution said upon the sub
ject. and quoted the following well
known clause, Icaving out the aoords
Tor OTHER PROPERTY" which omission,
it will be seen, entirely changes the
meaning Of tie section:
"The Congress shall have power to
dispose of and mako all nsedful rules
aui regulations respecting the Terrific
ry OR OTHER PROPERTY belong
ing to the United States"
So base an attempt to deceive the
people is worthy of a party that uses the
the 4th of July to attract q crowd to
their Infamous gatherings, and bas.ly
appeals to the passions of the people
Instead of their better judgments, to
gain votes. Il is only necessary to say
that not ore of tie fusion leaders III
this place offers any apology for this in
famous attempt to mistead the people
They coolly snap their fingers, and de-
care that '~'evcrything is fare in poll
tics"

Rev. Fl. E. PECK, a Professor in the
College at Oberlin, where the equality
of the races is taught as a part of the

Abolitionist of the most approved stamp,

must sbape his speech according to the
Black Republican programme in this
County, which he did. The Professor
