From. the Herald.
Last year the people pronounced
against that radical abolition policy which
would make the restoration OF the Uuiou
dependent upon the extinction Of Southern
slavery. This year the people have "a
deeisiveiy pronounced against the demoral-
ixing coppsrhead fac,ion, which wosA p,.r-
shasc pease at the price of a degrading and

people. adhering to the war for the Union,
have reject,i both these disturbing factions.

Of the President TO follow thesc unmistakz

this place, were, per previous arrange

Our citizens have always shown liber-
al spirit towards the company in accommo-
dating and facilitating their enterprise,
and have now generously engaged to
build station for them, some twenty-five
miles west of here, in place of one which
was burned upon the new route about three
months since. tits supposed that this
change is permanent, and letno fair me ans
be spared to make it decidedly so; for in
the wake of this line will follow the vast
travel and emigration to and from the
mountains and the great western plains.
Though there was no perceptible falling
off in the travel through here while the
stage was on the new route, it eventually
would have divided the same had it contin-
ued there any great length of time. LIE.
