THE GAzErTE.-It is no. from personal
vanity that We publish the kind words which
many of our contemporaries have been good
enough to bestow upon this paper, in entering
upon. the New Year But, it may be allowed
to one who has spent near forty years in con-
slant and earnest effort to secure the approba-
ton of his own GOA ,cie,ce and Of the public, to
feel a pardonable pride in having such eviden-
ces that he has not failed in the discharge of
his duties in the conduct Of this journal. AS
the shadows lengthen in the decline of life, and
as the writer supposes that the labor Of his
early days from hard necessity is to continue to
the close of the time allotted to him, such ex-
pressions as we quote cheer his path, and make
him doubly grateful and unfeignedly thankful.
LECTURE is with pleasure that attention
is again directed to the fact that 0. P Baldwin,
esq.,, formerly connected with the Richmond
Dispatch, but now with the Sun Office, Balti-
more, most accomplished writer and humor
Gus lecturer, has consented to deliver his cele
brated lecture entitled Fast and Slow People.
in this city, tomorrow night Having heard
the distinguished lecturer on several occasions,
we speak adviscdly on the subject when we say
that of all who may hear him tomorrow night,
not one will go away disappointed, but all will
be charmed with the classic eloquence of his
diction and the rich vein of humor which char
acterizes all his writings and thus will, at the$
same time, be both instructed and amused. In
addition to the fact that here a rare intellectual
treat is offered, our citizens should remember
that the lecture is for the bene6tof the Library,
an institution which richly deserves, and ought
to receive the support Of all our people. Let
the Assembly Rooms then b. crowded to-mor-
row night, and thus will we crafty the lecturer,
spend for ourselves Ill agreeable evening, and.
above ILL., help the Library.

RUTHERFORDTON, n. O., June 20 1871.
We are now In the midst OF the political canvass
for the coming election, winch, usual is creating
great excitement, and in fact. | think there Is a
great deal more interest manifested In the this
time than ever witnessed before. Both parties are
doing everything In their power, one TO vote down

because 1t was framed by their party, and for no
other reason. Their leaders say they oppose 1t be-
1t is unconstitutional, but that Is only an ex.
cuse. From my observation, and from COW ersa-
tons with persons from various counties IN the
state, am led to believe that the election will be
similar, in number OF votes. to the last we had.
The vote will be strict party one, and think there
has been but little change In either party within the
last year, and as the democratic party carried the
state last election think II probable that they Will

TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
May not urge You to say something through your
valuable paper (belng one OF its daily readers) TO
stay the ruin, which appears to me to be very near,
OF the marriage question: besleged as it is by
divorce, lnfdelity ana ralOnallsms Believing pro-
foundly In the lndissOubility or marriage and that
the marriage relation Is the golden band which puri-
es and holds society together, recognize Its full
value and sacredness, and more than ALL my religion
teaches me IL is indeed sacrament. something
better than natural and civil contract. l have
learned through the newspapers that petition Tor
signed very generally in Washington. l have also,
to my great surprise, read the publication in the
New York Times OF Wednesday, June 81, in praise
OF Mrs. Pettgrew-Kng. Is it possible Attorney
General Akerman can be Influenced to
lend himself to accomplish a result so
disastrous to the sacred relations of mar
rage, the ends OF justice ana morality (?
The article alluded to clalmed:-.'Because our gov

Bowen should not be torn from the clinglnR arms Of

Judge Pettlgrew ieavng Brigham Young serenely re-
posing III the wide bosom OF mis- famiy.v Surely this
case Is not deserving OF Executive clemency. May
mot hope TO learn through your valued columns that
yOu too, believe the marriage question Is at the base
OF all social questions? Woe to the human race
when lost in the swelling tide Of inlquity that
threatens TO drag down into the foul pit Of pley
and lust The sacredness and magnitude OF this
subject have inspired me to say these few words In
