For the Kanawha Valley Stal

When urging the election Of Col. Tnos
| Il. BRous, to the. Board Of Public Works
we designed to make no demagogue's ap
neal to the sectional animosilies of tie
peopIs Of the West towards those of the
last, as a writer in the Richmond En-
'guirer animated. Far be IT, from u:
ito give any countenahce TO that discon.
tented faction that now Iinsinuates Al divti,
sion Of this Stale. No matter if the inter,
ests of the East and West are identiea
10 lhe Public Works Of the State. no mat
ter II the political sentiments Of the two
candidates exactly concur, Essill If The
West offers a suitable person. for the Of.
fee, IL occurs to us that ip<all fairness,
the. East and Valley should cheerful.
in his election For each OF
these latter two sections has In lbs turn
been REPRESENTED. X
h Col. Broun has the integrity andNea-
pacity to make a. most useful and efficient
member Of the Board of Public Works.
He is familiar with the wants and inter.
ests Of The West Besides bis location il
such as to necessarily make him thorough.
y acquainted with the internal improve.
ment interests Of the whole State, as he
will, ifelected, be compelled 10 visit Rich,
moud once a month, and in doing so will
have to travel thro' the entire State, Mr.
HolLtpAY, residing in Richmond, will bul
seldom if ever. visitthe Valley and Trans.
Allegheny and hence caunotbe expected to
have that practical knowledge Of the in
terests Of all portions Of The Slate which
a monthly passage 10 and from Richmond,
in discharge Of the duties Of lhe office,
would. enable Col Broun to furnish.
We therefore hope the people East and
West will discard all sectional consider
atoms, and vote for Col Broun.

A new tariff bin has passed the House and Is
now before the Senate The New York Journal
Of Commerce, in reviewing its provisions, says:
This bill, with all its denominations, crudities
and radical injustice islikey 10 be enacted at the
present session of Congress. The chief objection
to it is not that il raises the rates Of duty en0m
ously, but that it proposes entire change IN the
whole revenue system of the country. IN man
ner to paralize trade 70 interfere with home manu-
factures, 10 abolish the warehousing system now
inseparable from profitable foreign eommerce.
and to involve importers. as a class, in constant
disputes and expensive litigation, If not IN ult
mate ruin Ii is Extensively unjust toward the
poor, and unnecessarily burdensOme upon ali
classes, in great variety Of its provisions
Through the misguided efforts of the dominant
party. our domestic relations already involved
in confusion and disaster; and the measure pro
posed is calculated 20 involve our foreign trade
and connections in the same hopeless ruin. III
there was a single Republican leader who could
rise above the interests Of party 10 give mo-
ment's thought 10 the welfare of our country, this
evil might be stayed; but We have little hope OF
any such desirable result. This revenue measure
will be fitting close 10 the list Of violated rights,
all traceable to a party that have long been de-
termined either to rule or ruin
