runs quite through the county, and emp
ties into the foot of Lake Ontario, near

extent Of the Lake shore is included IN
this county also, as well as several islands.
Black River is rather appropriately
named. It's water, if not literally black,
is, at least, extremely dark colored, pre-

however, may be said Of most Of the

along its course, and especially so before
It enters this county. ! find, however,
that many people Ia re have no idea that
its color is derived from that source,
though as to what really does occasion
the color, they have not quite made up
thCir minds.
The Black River valley being very wide
and the Lake fat--so to call lt-and the

4Hr. Editor: Believing it the duty O
every true Republican to disseminate a.
f as possible the doings of those of the
party who reside IN his Immediate district
thereby encouraging others to "go and dc
likewise, i venture to inform the read
ers Of your truly valuable paper, through
its columns, that even here in RouIet
there is a real live, working Republican
CLUB, individually and collectively pledg-
ed to use every honorable means within
their reach, to promote the success of oui
principles and our candidates in the com.
ing State and National elections.
On the evening of Saturday last, it was
our good fortune to listen to an address
delivered by a. g. 0lmsted, Esq, of
Coudersport, than which more appro-
pirate one could not have been devised.
The speaker took ground, which no hon.
est and sincere man whether Republican
or Democrat, could take exception to
The issues involved in the present cam-
raign were clearly shown; tie past and
prasent policy Of the Democratic party in
relation to, and particularly the action Of
the administration of Mr.. Buchanan Oh
those issues, were handled with much Sc
verify, and yet in style Which could not
give offence the glaring Inconsistencies
of the doctrines promulgated by the ora
tors and presses devoted to the cause of
Stephen 4. Douglas as well as the plat
form on which be is running, were defn-
ed in manner that cannot fail to make
a favorable impression upon all persons,
of whatever party, who arc willing to do
and desirous Of sustaining. whatever may
be right and just. The speaker then pro-
ceeded, in precise and exact terms, to
show the entire subserviency of the Breck-
enrdge wing Of the party to southern
principles and southern demagogues.-
After which the principles aud aims Of,
the Republican party were 9isafs-.d and
u Seu "oine VII" -,1 .l ability rarely sur
l-.sUu, a.. IN a manner, too, carrying
to the minds of all present.
But my pen fails to do Justice, either to
Mr.. Olmsted as speaker. or to the cause
for which he spoke Sutfi sc it to say that
the sentiments enunciated BY him before
oRr Club, need ouly to bs heard to &C
Quire for their author an enviable position
among the rising men of the day. Coald
it be repeated before every voter of our
county, | am well convinced that num-
bcrs who will undoubtedly cast their
votes and their influence for the "Sham
Democracy" and against the cardinal
principles of Freedom as understood by
our f0refathers, would instead lend a
hearty support to Lincoln and Hamlin
The thing shown up in its true light, Is
all that is necessary to secure our gallant
standard bearers an overwhelming ma
iority on the eveutful sixth OF November

the Hon. JAS. I. HALE, of Bellefont,
