Mr.. Googins of Portland thought that we

average. During. the Winter and Spring
months the attendance was much greater
The average daily issues in December
were 397; In January, 1855; In February
802; in March, zoo; In April, 577; and ID
May, 20l. The largest attendance was
on February II, when $50 periodicals
and 301 books were issued, making o total
OF 1851. The attendance during the fore.
moons had been much less than later In
the day. Often during theaLternoon and
evenings every seat has been occupied,
and the room, for want of proper ventila.

attendants and readers. Z II is a notice.

Why Republicans Cannot Support
& Mr.. Greeley. .EI.f /.

Why Republicans Cannot Support
& Mr.. Greeley, 1Bg /
The chief Of the reasons why Republl-
cans find themselves unable to support
Mr. GREELEY in his present candidacy, Is
well illustrated by conversation narrated
by q Raleigh IN. correspondent Of the
Tribune. The correspondent encounters
q former acquaintance from one of the
western counties, q Judge ola State Court,
and, presumptiyely, on intelligent man.
The Judge said
"0ur people up in the mountains have
q warm feeling toward Mr.. Greeley. He
} has done great deal for us-we know 1t,
and we all like him. We would be glad
to vote Tor him, but we don't dare to.
We are afraid the Democrats have cap.
tured him, and would control his Admin.
istration. live were convinced that this
would not be the case, and that he would
carry out the principles he has always
had and which we admire and follow, and
not the ideas Of the Democrats, we would
vote for him with the greatest pleasure"
"What do you mean by the ideas ofthe
Democrats?" ] asked. "They have aban.
doned all the old principles that you and
l have been fighting, and have come up
on to the higher ground OF Liberalism and
Reform. How could Greeley take up
what the Democrats themselves have
thrown away as worn out and valuelessg"
"We can't believe in their sudden con.
version" replied the Judge; "they haYe
been so bitter and fanatical, and have ha.
ted and abused us so, and threatened us
with revenge If they got the power TO
such an extent that we distrust and fear
them. 1t would be disastrous to us to
have them get control Of. the National
Government"
At the close OF the conversation the
Judge said, as II anxious to impress me
fully with the good feeling entertained by
the Republicans in the mountain districts
toward Mr.. Greeley: 1--WE would do al.
most anything in the world for Greeley,
but l am afraid we can't vote for him this
time" r,l .ats.f

JANE LEW, LEWIS Co., W. ", July1.
To the Editors of the Iaterligencer:
knowing that the columns of your val.
liable paper are open to all communica
tons for the interest and advancement Of
civilization, and seldom, il ever, seeing
any report-fn your paper from this section
thought, perhaps, few items would be
interesting to your readers. Our main
support and maintenance is principally
derived from our fruit and grain crops,
apd we are thankful to an All.wise Provi.
dence that VIC are favored with both-an
abundant fruit and grain crop. Grain Of
all kinds is very good. Farmers are now
preparing for their harvest. Grass Is gen.
orally short, owing to the early drouth.
AS political affairs seem to be the pre-.
vaillng conversation and issues OF the day,
| will give you the minds OF the people IN
this portion oil the country. AS regards
the nomination of.an independent candi.
date for Governor, there seems to be a
great interest manifested toward Gov,
Jacob as an Independent candidate, not as
a Democrat nor Republican, but as a
man for the people, whose honesty and M.
rightness has been clearly demonstrated
by his strict adherence to the laws Of our
State and US Governor for the people, and
not for any political party. He is a
man safe for the people to entrust.
Not man has been heard to declare for
Camden in this Dane Lew township.
They do not approve Of the "Parkersburg
clique" who are endeavoring to array the
State against Gov. Jacob. The fourth
Thursday in August will prove the an
probation of Gov. Jacob in West Wiz.
gtnia. Then may Camden be heard to
calculate, 10 my Democracy, my De.
mocracy, why hast thou forsaken me.
Thou hast been faithful in a few things,
and why not make me ruler Of many"
But, alas! he will, TO his utter surprise,
find that the money OF the wicked avail.

We expect to do our duty toward
Grant and Wilson in the coming Presi.

AS for The proposed Constitution"
Lewis County will doubtless give an
