a large and valuable tract of land, through
which the Marietta and Cincinnati Railroad
passes, west of and adj dining the zaleski
Estate, in VintOn county, authorizes us to
state that site for q Wooden Factory will
be given free to any party who will build

Depot OF the NJ. s. G. r. r.; and water, coal,
wood, and every Thing else necessary for

lie servants. We have seen the evils of
mediocrity, and inexperience, and folly,
and dishonesty long enough. We want
to see the end Of imbecility and cOrrup-
tiOn in West Virginia legislation. We
advocate q return to the ancient prac-
tices that placed ability and integrity
in charge of public affairs. Ohio coun-
ty has made a good start in that direc-
tion already. Her last delegation to the
Legislature was the evidence of this
fact. We trust she will continue to Sc
lect none but her best citizens as her
representatives. The Radical party
have shown the unhappy effects of any
other course. Some of the best of their
Legislators have been objects Of we'll
deserved ridicule; the worst and the
most of them, have brought shame up
OH their constituents, disaster upon our
people and disgrace upon the reputation
of the State. This is plain speech, but
every honest and intelligent man in
this city knows it to be truthful speech
Remembering the material that Radi-
calism chooses as its representative, let
Democrats display their good sense by
sending up none but able and true men to
speak and act for Ohio county in our
Legislative halls.
