From the Fincastle Herald.
Letter from Hon, J. e, Tucker.

In response to an invitation to address the
people Of Botetourt at Amsterdam and Buch-
anan barbecues on the 22d and 25th instants,
Hon. j. r. Tucker, one Of the most talented
sons Of Virginia, and a lifelong Democrat,
writes the following brief and able letter:
LEXINGTON, Oct. 5th, 1872.
Dear Sir-I regret to say must be in Win
chester at the Court Of Appeals between the
Goth and 30th instant, and can command no
time in that interval for the appointments you
propose
| feel great anxiety to see the people of Vir-
ginia realize their duty in voting for Mr.. Gree
ley in this contest. 1t is real duty, and
though some men may feel reluctance in view
Of the antecedents of the candidate, yet that
sentiment must yield to the call of duty to our
people in the South, and to the whole country :;
for the result is full Of import to the contin-
uance Of free government On the Continent.
If we would save Republican Government
from the fatal tendency Of the present Admin
istration to Imperial centraism, we must use
the present opportunity in electing Mr.. Gree
ley thatsachieved, We may hope to begin an
available reaction against consolidation, which
may end 10 restoring the system Of federative
union between the States-the grand concep-
tion Of our forefathers-in the realization of
which we may hope to transmit constitutional
liberty to our posterity. If that conception be
discarded and centralism triumphs, imperial
ism will result.
| am, very truly, your friend,
j. r. TUCKER.

Sentiments of Ext Gov. VIM. Smith.

Extracts of letter from Hon. William
Smith, dated October 10Th, 1872, in response
to an invitation to speak at Carlin's Springs:
Having an appointment for the county of
Botetourt, on the 25h instant, it will, ofcourse,
be out OF my power to attend the meeting at
Carlln's Springs, Ga Thursday, the 24th inst,
as you request.
Il hope and believe that Johnston greatly
magnites the disafection In the Valley. [ have
spoken five times in that section, and find
there, as elsewhere, much dissatisfaction at the
necessity of going for Greeley, but it is yield
ing to sense of duty, and [ have no earthly
doubt that We shall roll up handsome major
ity at the election.
IF we defeat Grant, as I am persuaded we
shall, it will be by less use of money than in
any Important election in these degenerate days.
Very few of our people spend dollar for pub
lie documents, while the Radicals, backed by
the Treasury, scatter theirs as thick as the
leaves OF autumn, throughout the land.
II am resoIped to do n9y duty f Others neo-
lect theirs. I am fully convinced that, soitsout
the defeat Of Grant, our people eodt be thorough
" denaoratlzed and corrupt, and constitutional
h6eTty aoiN be nothing more than 80 souadsno
brass and a tinkling cyns5aL" 50 believing,
neither effort nor sacrifice shall be aoantiag, on
my part, to pre0ent our common ruin.
May God help us. for man seems unable or
unwilling to rise to the dignity Of the great
argument"

The DiTerence

The Louisville Courier-Jounal thus presents
in forcible contrast the two men who are Of
fered for the sufrages of the people at the en-
suing election. for the highest office in their
gift, and shows what strong considerations ex-
ist in favor of the man who has transcendently
greater abilities and attaiuments, with higher
personal characteristics to commend him to
the public choice. Says our contemporary:
'The personal popularity of the two can
didates for President will, in the present un-
settled condition of political sentiment, exert
no little influence in the contest. None deny
that Greeley is an honest man. None will de-
ny that he is man Of wonderful practical in
formation on many and diversified matters
These facts are admitted By his enemies On
the other hand, General Grant is an inferior
man in every particular. Though he managed
to rub through West Point, he is without ed
ucation, and, it is said, never read book
through. He has been known to be untruth-
ful, and his associate on the Radical ticket has
been disguised to find him intoxicated at times
when he has gone to him on business matters.
Can any hesitate for moment between these
two men who are not influenced by strong par
tisan feeling 2"-Luncb Varo,nian

ing clerkship in one Of the Government de-
paEtments 10 this city, was mulcted in the sum
OF fifty dollars last month, to swell the corrup-
tlon fund OF the Grant party. He told it HIM
self to our Informant, assigning that as reason
why he could not then satisfy a demand that
was made upon him for the payment of a Just
debt Ii the statement is denied we can give

Now, let Us view this case in all of its sur
roundlngs: A poor clerk, receiving au annual
salary OF one thousand or twelve hundred dol
lars, IS forced to pay, at one time, about one
twentieth OF his yearly salary to provide an cleo
ton fund to keep Grant and his Rings in DOW
er What would have been thought of such
practice (ior it is now practice) in the days of
Washington, Jefferson, Madison, jackson, and
even OF the later Presidents down to Grant?-
And do not such examples as these reveal the
danger to which our institutions arc exposed
from the enormous increase of Executive na-
tronage, controlled by men who have no scru-
pies about adapting means to ends? When
the fountain ls corrupt, how can the streams be-
pure? Verify from the cess-pool at Wash

''0h Love so Long as Love Thou Canst p

-~A9
Oh love so long as love thou canst;
Oh love, till life's last breath shall fail;
The hour draws near, the hour draws near,
When at the tomb thouft stand and wall
Guard well thy bosom-may it glow,
And ever be with love possessed,
So long as warmly beats a heart
Responsive in anothers breast.
And him who gives thee all his soul,
Make happy to thy utmost power;
His every moment fill with joy.
Nor let him pass one wretched hour.
Keep strong the guard upon thy tongue;
'Tis quickly said, a singing word
0 God, it was not meant for i'll;
Thy partner goes and weeps unheard.
Oh love so long as love thou canst
Oh love, till the life's last breath shall fail;
The hour draws near, the hour draws near,
When at the tomb thou'lt stand and wall!
Then wilt thou kneel upon his grave,
And eyes with weeping wet and dim,
Hide in the long, damp church-yard grass
Those eyes no longer gaze on him.
Thou'lt say, "Oh, cast one look on me,
Who, at thy grave am weeping still;
Forgive that I have grieved thy heart
Oh God, it was not meant for i'll p
He comes not to thy longing arms
He neither sees nor hears thy woe;
The mouth that kissed.thee oft, saith now,
''Thou vast forgiven long ago.
Yes, he forgave thee long, long since;
But many burning tear was shed
For thee and for thy bitter word
Still. at his bourne, now rests the dead.
Oh love, SO long as love thou canst;
Oh love. till life's last breath shall fail
The hour draws near, the hour draws near,
When at the tomb thoult stand and wall

Mr.. Greeley and Gen. Grant represent pre-
cisely the same opposite poles Of doctrine and
currents Of feeling and policy as they did three
weeks or six weeks ago. Each has precisely the
same claims upon the support of those who
sympathize with the particular opinions and
lines of policy which they severally represent
no greater, and certainly no less. No man,
therefore, who is actuated by high objects in
the present contest, or has any fixed or abiding
convictions of duty in reference to the Presiden-
tial election, will see any reason iu the State
elections which have lately taken place, to
change, modify or recede from any ground
which he may have previously taken, or to
abandon any course which he may before have
determined upon. The man who is Influenced
solely by what he conceives to be the probabili-
ties of electing his candidate is man of ex-
pediency solely, not of principlo-a fair-weath-
er patriot, not to be depended upon in any
crisis of his country's fate-and altogether un,
worthy of the high privileges of American oiti-
zenship.-Bal. Sun.
