When any one writes over the signature
OF his own name, his motives are more sus-
cePtible of discovery but whether the wri-
ter OF the piece in the "Vindieator, 'over the
signature of Long Glade and Messy Creek, ;
is resident of Long Glade or Long Mead
ow, Messy Greek or Christians Greek, North
River or South River, Naked Greek OF Back

Newport or New Hope, Waynesboro' or
Stauaton, or any other part Of the county !;
or whether, by propounding those interrog-
atories, the writer intended to elicit infor-
nation for the benefit of the people, or for
the benefit of another candidate, or for
his own satisfaction or qualification. need
not now be the enquiry, inasmuch as ev-
cry voter claims the privilege of knowing
the sentiments or position of candidate,
Chat is, the size of his platform, and who
shall stand on it, or perhaps more unmistak-
ably, who shall not stand on IT'D before his
suffrage is recorded. Rumor seems to be
afoat, from the writer's insinuation. Can
didates are often placed in a false position
before the people by rumor; therefore, [
shall unhesitatingly reply to your questions,
by stating that | am free from all combina
ton, compact, or agreement, or contract Of
any kind with any person, for the purpose
Of sharing the profits of the Office Of Sher-
if; and as the law in regard to the Sheriff
atty makes rotation in that Office obligatory
on the people, by restricting the Sheriff to
two terms in succession, thereby vacating
all the subordinate Offices, and leaving his
successor free to- make his own selection -
If an entire change were not designed, why
such restriction :? Believing thus,if elected,
| should act accordingly. Pledging my per-
sonal efforts to have all the duties pertaining
to said office faithfully, impartially and sat
isfactorily discharged, to the best of my abil-
ity and for the accomplishment of which.
shall endeavor, in the selection of Deputies,
to obtain competent faithful and reliable
persons, whose stability and integrity of
character shall be one of my best guaran-
tees that they will be acceptable to the peo-
pie, in the several districts of the county in
which they may be placed, and under no
consideration would knowingly place an
Objectionable or unacceptable deputy to ride
in any district, or for any other purpose.

The Lemon Slave Case.

This case, which several years ago, crea-
ted such intense excitement, is now before
the New York Court of Appeals at Albany,
and much interest is felt in the final judge
ment of the Court. The facts of this case are
briefly these:
In November, 1850, Jonathan Lemon,
with his wife and eight slaves, came to New
York from Virginia, to seek direct passage
to Texas, where they proposed to settle
The presence Of the slaves having been dis
covered, writ of habeas corpus was OBJ
tanned from the Hon Elisha Paine, then a
Justice of the Superior Court, but since de-
ceased, inquiring why the negroes were de-
prived Of liberty. Upon the return of the
writ, and after a full hearing Of the argu-
ments presented by Mr. Lemons counsel,
Judge Paine ordered the slaves to be dis
charged, and they were discharged accord
ingly.
'Mr. Lemon at once carried the order of
the Superior Judge into the Supreme Court,
upon writ of certiorari, where, after a
contest of years, the general term affirmed
the original order. This case was, in 1857,
appealed to the present jurisdiction, where
it will be finally decided with the aid of the
new light afforded by the bred Scott opin-
IONS"
Mr. Charles O'Conner argued the case
this week for Mr.. Lemon, and Messrs Ev-
arts & Blunt conducted the defence. The
question at issue is as to whether slavehold-
ers can carry their slaves, las property, thro'
the State of New York under the protection
of law. The argument was concluded on
Wednesday, and decision may be expected
in few days.
