Montague on Buchanan.

In the discussion between Messrs. Goggin and
Montague, in Caroline county, the latter is report
ed as saying: 81 voted for Buchanan on the Gin
cinnati platform, but he has deceiUed ne-he is
q traitor to has party" and he would never vote
for him again. This is rather plain talk, and
will hardly recommend the candidate for Lieut.
Governor to the support of those Democrats
who still adhere to the President. 1t is also 6
heavy blow at the Petersburg Convention, which
nominated Mr.. Montague and at the same time
endorsed Mr.. Buchanan. What the President
has done to prove himself "a traitor TO his par
ty," is not entirely clear to US. His views on
the tariff, internal Improvements &C., were well
known before his nomination at Cincinati-he
has certainly deceived nobody since the date oil
the Petersburg Convention. Mr.. Montague
does not agree with Mr.. Letcher, who disap-
proves of the Administration in some particulars
but will not give it up.

The GnnYaSS.

Mr.. Letcher's course in refusing to make any
general arrangement with Mr.. Goggin for stump
ing the State, is very singular, to say the least
of it. In Tennessee the candidates for Govern
or have met and agreed upon the times and pla-
ces for speaking throughout the canvass. Cog
gin accompanied Letcher through his first sp-
pointments to Lewisburg, and then, all of sud-
den, without notice to his competitor, the latter
abandoned bis appointments in the Northwest
and determined to go with Goggin to the East
After speaking at two or three points, Letcher
changed his mind again and proposed to dart OF
in another direction. He has now, however,
we regret to learn, been compelled by an atfec-
ton of the throat, to give up speaking and re-
turn home Mr.. Goggn has very properly de-
clined to have any more discussions with Mr..
Montague, unless NJ. Letcher will be present on

AcnuittaI of SickIes.

The trial of D. E. Sickles for the killing of P.
B. Key, was concluded on Wednesday last. a
despatch from Washington on that day says:
"The Counsel on both sides agreed to submit
the case without argument. The Judge IN
structed the jury, who retired, and after an ao-
seuoe of one hour and quarter, returned with
a verdict of Not Guilty. The encouragement
was greeted with an uncomfortable burst Oh
applause, and feeling of intense satisfaction
rapidly spread over the city. Pennsylvania Az
enue was almost depopulated, and thousands
rushed to Judiciary Square and followed tie
carriage ooItsining Sickles to his stopping place
next door to his own residence where an i'm
mense multitude greeted his arrival: Never
was there so universal an excitement in Wash:
ington, and the feeling of satisfaction is man
ifestpd ip all circles"
The verdict is Whist every body anticipated /;
but what there is in the whole affair to entltle
sickles to popular sympathy and give him the
eclat of hero, we do not perceive. ltwould
be more appropriate for hia to steal away from
public observation. The trial has been justly
styled great public calamity, and the sooner

County Claims,

1t will be seen by an advertisement in az.
other column, that the County Court of Angus.
ia has appointed Committee of Justices to au'
dit county claims in the mouth of June next, and
report thereon to the June term. This is I'M,
doubtedly an improvement upon the old mode
of transacting the business, but if the power of
the Committee extends no further than to see
that the claims are properly authenticated, there
will be no material reduction in county expen-
SEES. We sse satisfied that the manner in which
wagons and teams sre employed in working the
public roads, and othsS matters connected with
our road system, are the chief causes of the
heavy taxation for county purposes. The num-

MAIDEN. April %, 1859.

MAIDEN, April %, 1859.
Mr.. Neaoton In looking over last weeks Re.
publican, find an article by some friend who
signs himself "Santon," concerning Mr.. Letcller
and myself, in relation to the now famous Ruff
ner Pamphlet"
would not say word to the public on this
occasion, did not fear that my anonymous
friend may have unwttingly done Mr.. Letcher
injustice in one particular. He may be mistaken
in thinking that Mr. L. "circulated" the pam
phlet, and then declined to pay his subscription.
If be took copies for circulation, it must have
been while they lay in the printing office for the
use OF subscribers. Some may have taken cop
les then without my knowledge.
But never, until last year, heard of Mr.. L. or
any one else Directing to pay his subscription be.
cause the pamphlet contained "exceptionable
things" or varied from the speech. My conjec-
ture was, that most of the subscribers who So
licted the publication, soon discovered that our
enterprise was not likely to succeed, and deter
mined to back out without taking further part
in it. -.l-
Since the publication of Mr.. Letcher's letter,
have discovered that at least one of the subscri-
bers-Samuel McD Moore, Esq.-had failed to
pay under msapprehension, which need not
explain. He has since paid Inc his subscription
with interest from the date, like an honorable
man, such asI have long known him to be.
| have written this for the purpose of exhon-
Grating Mr.. Letcher, so far as my knowledge of
facts will warrant me in so doing. t
| thank my friend "Ssnton" for yindicating
me against the abusive epithets which it suits
the present purpose of electioneering editors and
stump orators to heap upon me. But if my
friends cared as little for these attacks as I do.
they would pay no attention to them.
These political squabblers have chosen me as
safe medium through which the one party may
gall the other; and the other party may save
their candidate oy making me his seapegoat.-
They know that am a harmless old man, nom
pombstant by profession, and that carry neither
pistol, bowie knife nor horse whip. Hence they
boldly apply to me epithets which they could
not, without some suspicion of danger, apply to
