A petition is now circulating here petition
ing the County Commissioners to make the
present road to Mcssrs. Shore & Bladen's
ferry county road. This should be done
as there will be much travel as soon as the
navigation opens, owing to there being no
other crossing between Port Deposit and
Peach Bottom. The road will cost but a
mere triile to keep in repair and be a great
convenience to the ncighborhood and to the
community at large. The new road from
here to New Valley is now impossible for
want of two small bridges, the fordings Icing
dangerous in consequence of the ,cc The
Bridge to cross Basin Run here is progressing

neglected to give you the doings in our neigh

vailed and no one committed suicide, homi-

We still have flattering prospects with re-

are now making to grade the road from Balti.

have no doubt can be done by the time the
bridge is ready to be crossed All that is now
requisite is for the stockholders III Cecil to
pay over little faster their instruments, and
the road will soon Le made this far.

THE Snow HILL SHIELD.-G. w. p.
Smith, Esq, the proprietor of this paper
heretofore, has disposed of it to Thomas
E. Martin, Esq, who edited the Demo-
cratic paper in Annapolis, while Mr..
Lowe was Governor. The Shield had
been quite an able advocate of Wing
principles, but latterly attached itself to
the locofocos in opposition to the Ameri-
can party.
Its late editor, Mr.. Smith, in the last
number, which contains his valedictory,
takes exception to a paragraph Of ours
printed two weeks ago. lie says we
knowingly mis-represent him in saying
that he had hoisted "the name of Hon.
j. A. Pearcc for the Vice Presidency,
as the locofoco candidate in 1860" He
placed his name under that of Stephen
A. Douglas for President, and that look
ed very locofocoish to us. lie says far
Their, that he never denounced, Mr..
Pearce as being "totally unfit for Sena-
tor" &C., as we stated we had been in
formed he had done; this, he says, is false
in all respects We have only this to
say on the subject now: that if he did
not say so as Editor, we are informed lie
did say so as a politician, elect ioneering
for Mr.. Hambleton; that the source of
our information is such that it cannot be
gainsayed, and that, on making the APP
plication, he can privately ascertain who
our informant is.
And he will please change his propo-
sition on the question of consistency to
the following form: owe would like to
have the opinion of honest men, which of
the two is entitled to the credit of con-
sistcncy-The Shield, a professcd wing
paper, for supporting James Buchanan,
an INSCRIPTIONS locofoco, for the Presi-
dency; or, The Wing for supporting
Willard Fillmore, with his known ante
cedents, for the same Office.

The Duty ON SUGAR.--An effort is about
to be made in Congress to reduce the duty on
sugar, if not to make it duty free. Fit were
made one Of the free articles the price would
be materially reduced, say that which now
sells at ten cents pound ought then to be
sold for seven cents. A simultaneous effort is
being made in many parts Of the country to
effect this result, and the following memorial,
which is at the Exchange in Baltimore for
signatures, will show the grounds on which
the alteration in the duty is asked:
The undersigned, Merchants and others resi-
ding in
RESPECTFULLY REPRESENT:
That sugar has become so universal and
indispensable an article of consumption as to
he not improperly reckoncd among the neces-
sares of life.
That the duty of thirty per cent, with
which it is hurdencd, OH its Importation into
our country, weighs severely upon the mass
Of the people and upon the various trades and
occupations in which it is used as raw ma
teriai.
That the Sugar Cane is tropical plant,
which does not come to perfection in the
climate of the United States; and that owing
to frequent unfavorable seasons, the tendency
of the plant to degenerate, and the exhaus-
ton of the soil of the Sugar estates. more la.
Dor is necessary to produce given quantity
of Sugar in this country than in any other
part Of the world from which the commodity
is brought. ...
That the making of Sugar from the cane, is
for these reasons. even with the present high
duty. never likely to become a prosperous
branch ofindustry in our country.
The undersigned, therefore pray, that Con-
gress will altogether relieve the people from
the duty on imported Sugar.
