The two military companies of this place
turned out on the afternoon of Wednesday, the

to large number of spectators. The Artillery
are not yet fully equipped, but they have &C.

management of their pieces. The cannon was
loaded and fired twenty-five or thirty times, al
the rate of twice minute. The West Augusta
Guard, which has lately had large aeoessions to
its ranks, performed to admiration, going through
the various evolutions and firing volleys with al

pretensions of the respective candidates, and
their respective qualifications for the high posi-

and temper of the subsequent criticisms of those
means, and particularly of one of the candidates
as published in your paper and the Stanton

In doing this do not promise to examine the
different subjects in the order stated for to do

pany has been formed in this place to carry on
the business. The Traveller says that Boston
stands pre-eminently the great boot and shoe
mart of the American continent. ION every
hand, in our New England towns and villages.
and especially in those within twenty or thirty
miles of this city, shoe manufactures have
sprung into existence by hundreds within quar-
ter of a century, and the changes that have been
wrought in consequence in many stald and qul-
ct old hamlet have been like those which fol-
lowed the touch of the magic wands told OF IN
quaint Arabian tales. A genii has indeed pass
ed over the land, and where each mighty foot
step fell there has flashed into being manu-
featuring town, teeming with happy homes aud
busy shops and warehouses. So shall it be ever
when the genius Of honest industry moves among
free and Christian people,"
There are over two hundred wholesale and job
bling boot, shoe and leather dealers, and over
one hundred hide and leather dealers 10 Boston,
transacting business amounting to about sixty
millions of dollars annually. Eighty thousand
people in the State of Massachusetts are occu-
pied in the manufacture of boots, shoes and
leather, and from their workshops and factories
there is an incessant transit to the metropolis OF
hundreds of thousands Of boxes and cases OF
boots and shoes.
The Wing does not fail to improve the occa-
sion by showing how little we owe to the eighty
thousand manufacturers of Massachusetts,, and
how desirable it is that our boots and shoes
should be made at home.

Far he Spectator.


Messrs. Editors:-We learn from the last
number Of the Spectator" that r. L. Dog lie,
Esq, is called upon TO announce himself can
ddate for the office of Attorney tor the Com
monw ealth for Augusta county.
Now, Messrs Editors, notwithstanding We
subscribe to the doctrine that sour country is
entitled to the services of her citizens in any
station or position in which they can subserve
the interests of the public,' we are not willing
that the name and services of one of our citizens
who has been tagice called into Office by our suf-
frages should be forgotten or passed by at the
time when bis term of Office is about to expire !;
and, therefore, in the exercise of a right guaran-
teed to every citizen, we now call upon our fell
low citizen, Gen. Wm ii. Harmau, to announce
himself candidate for re election to the re-
sponsbe office of Attorney for the Common
wealth-which be has filed with high credit to
himself AID honor to the county. Yes, Messrs
Editors, be has been tried and the verdict of
the people has once been rendered, and Will be
again, that he is capable. faithful aud honest
in the discharge ct his duties to the public, as
well as to individuals" And whilst we scorn
and repudiate the idea of disparaging the quail
hcations or claims of others, we honestly be-
lleve that the great interests of the county so
far as they may be affected by the Office OF At
torney to2 the Commonwealth, cannot be con-
tded to a more faithful or true-hearted citizen.
We make this call upon Gen. Hartman as citi-
gems OF the county at large-and nos as repre-
serting any special locality-and we assure him
thatat the polls our name will be LEGION.
