Plymouth TO Rochester, at an early day
will be of material benefit to this county,
and are willing to lend our efforts directly
to aid in its completion.
ResOlucd, That we are OF the opinion
that reasonable amount of subscriptions
can be procured in this county, either as
donations or for stock, and we are willing
to exert ourselve. 10 aid in Obtaining the
same.
ReSOlrcd, That a committee of five bs
appointed To design programme oil pro-
ceedings prep lratory to- soliciting subscrip-
tions 10 the stock Of the railroad company,
to- be paid whsn the railroad shall be COM

ResOlrcd, That the Committee on Pro-
gramme be also committee TO solicit sub

zens present, they were unanimously
adopted.
The commItte. selected consists of c.
III. II .eve, VI. H. Ric., III. B. Pershing, G..

The most harmonious feeling pervadsd

road ought to be completed and that the
proposition made by the parties proposing
20 complete the road was fair ono, was
unanimous. They propose to advance the
means and complete the road b. the st of
February next. and ask no pay on sub
scriptions or donations until the road is fin
ished and tn, cars running from this place

LIBERN---Au Old man, sboui half white
and half black, passed through this place
on Monday last, on his way Ia the colorcd
settlement near Niles, where he formerly
lived. lie Was lou, of sorts" a. printer
would say when he is destitute Of stamps,
and some one, he said, sent him to G. III
Reeve, ESQ. for aid, doubtless thinking
to bore the latter gentleman, or that he
would deliver 4 lecture to the poor darby
upon the advantage OF having good mas
ter 10 provide for him. But, ii 50. he was
disappointed. so far rs the lecture wa. con
csrned al least, and in ard To the other
also, we would infer, from the apparent
cheerfulnsss with which he handed the
INDECENT Anglo African fifty cents in postal
currency, and bid him go to his Abolition
friends. pointing to tie "REPUBIIcAN' ed
TORS residence, and see what they would
DO for him. Why Mr.. r. should desire
the honor OF being the only Democrat in
Plymouth TO give aid to an African is for
him to explain. Perhaps hs thought it
would be rather hazardous business FOR
the poor African to call upon another Dem
ocrat for aid. However this may be, the
fact that he opsned his heart and purse TO
a colored gentleman Is significant Of conf
in. events.
But TO return 10 the African. lie stated
that he had been a slave In North Carroll
IA until he had passed the prime of life,
when h: purchased his freedom from his
old master. who was also his reputcd faith
er; that twenty years previous to that time
or nearly forty years since. his master and
father sold his wife and four children to
negro traders. who carried them off to
some other State. and that he had never
heard from them since. Hearing Of the
reunion since the war Of several cOlored
families who had long been separated, he
determined few weeks since. though tot
tering on the verge of the grave, to visit
several points in this and other States to
sec il he could find or hear any thing OF
his long lost wife and children, but he
could not. and on Monday last he passed
through this place on his return from his
fru;tlcss search to his lonely home in Mich

The Democrats Of thi. place burned q
small quantity of powder on Saturday
night last in honor OF their great victory
as thsy styled it. 1t was spiritless affair
and drag from the start. Long before
nine o'clock the firing ceased, and the
principal Cops slipped off and got out of
sight The rest soon followed. The Re-
publicans had just as much reason TO burn
powder over their success in Ohio, 1ndi-
ana and Iowa, as the Cops hal for their
little victory in Pennsylvania and Ohio, if
not more, but they have burned so much
during the list seven or eight years that
they have grown tired of the sport, and
cannot be induced to shout even over .
victory that would cause the Cops to fire
100 guns and drive them into ecstacies.
The Cops are thankful for small favors.
