e5- a writer in the Huntington argus
discourses OF the Capital question on follows ::
"But seriousiyi is it not time tina. this dis
graceful spectacle, of the Capital of great
State being pu. up to the highest bidder everv
year should be stopped ?
"Shali it be the case, that any city that has
an empty old soup house, like the Mcclure
House in Wheeling, that is too big for the
town, and they don't know what to do with it
may offer the Legislature of our State to nav
their expenses if they will move there, shall
have their proposition gravely discussed and
even accepted?
I'VE Know that men are sometimes like
children:
''Pleased with a rattle,
And tickled with a etraw''
that some of the rural members cannot find
enough of the vices of great city in a moral
place like Charleston to suit their fancy, but
political economists tell us the supply will
always be equal to the demand, and there is
little doubt that in year or two, if they will
stay there. Charleston will have full supply
of faro banks, fast women, pretty waiter girls,
&C., to satisfy the most fastidious"

Letter from Charlestown.

fOclothrone." the Charlestown correepon>
dent of the Chambersbnrg. Pa, Ta1ey Spiy-
II, in recent letter, after passing reference
to the late election. says:
But, in truth, politics do not trouble us
much, as we have other subjects of greater
interest to occupy our Observation-Disclosures,
turnpikes, manufactures, &C., &c These
seem to promise more direct advantage than
the success of any particular party, however
much to our mind. We have all the advan>
tages Of soil, climate, water power, contiguity
to the seaboard and last, but not least, the in-
telligence and energy (the latter resource has,
until recently, been suffered to lie dormaut)
to make this one Of the most wealthy and at.
tractive sections in the United States. We
made similar statement in previous letter
The Shenandoah Valley Railroad, which is
destined to be the great through line from
New York to New Orleans, is being rapidly
constructed through our county. Turnpikes
are being constructed all over the county the
attention of the people is being directed to
tho Importance Of establishing manufactures,
and organizations for this purpose are spring.
ing up. We need more capital, and denser
population to develop the resources of our
country and we believe this immediate region
offers as many inducements to men of capital
and energy, either as agriculturists or manu-
facturers, as any other in the entire country.
Land can be bought at lower figures here now,
considering position and quality, than any
where We know Of Like most other sections
of our country, increased attention is being
given to the subject Of public instruction !;
and families from the North seeking home
here, will find as efficient system of free
schools as at home.
In respect to climate. we think we enjoy
the "golden mean"-ba having a more equitable
climate than those living either porth or south
OF us. Consumption is almost unknown here
We have less winter than in Pennsylvania !;
and as consequence, both grain-raising and
stock-growing are more advantageously pur-
sued here than there.
We have very many newcomers amongst
ns from Pennsylvania and New York, who
are doing we'll for themselves and us. and we
have still room for many more of the same
kind.
In concluding the matter of inducements,
we would not omit the fact that we have three
weli'conductcd newspapers in this county
The Free Press, Spiritof Je6erson and .Mcp-
the courtly and genial editor of the Free
Press, Mr.. H. N. Gallaher? Who has not
heard of Mr.. Lucas. the poet and orator of
the Spirit ? Mr.. little of the Rcgiter, is
known to many. and should be known to
more, as he knows how to say funny things
and cure dyspepsia, aud withal SO to conduct
his paper as to make it pay.
Whilst acknowledging the intended CONS
rtiment to our country>man, D. j. Lucas,
Esq, in the above, we'would respectfully state
that Mr.. i. has no connection whatever with
the Spirit Of Je6crson.]

500 delegates There particularly exciting topic
before it, az found last evening Butler
didn't propose TO make effort for the nonina-

the Butler were present, and objected TO reDOm-
mating Washburn by accamatiOn, and ballot followed,
which resulted votes for Wahburn and 259 for But

the interest OF stOddard the friends Of the latter claimed
that was done in favor Of the former The result OF
the ballot gave Talbot 6ls votes and StOddard 395
