For the Spectator
Mr.. Editor
A writer in the Lexington Gazette
and again in the Spectator, seems very much
exercised about the action of our fellow citizen,
Col. Turk, at the Alum Springs Convention
Now the County Of Highland sent no delegates
to that convention SO that the filings of Friend"
aud Delegate" about "Court- house rings" and
old political wire pullers, have no significance
whatever. Col. Turk is now absent from his
county, in the State of West Virginia. AS he is
a gentleman who generally knows what he is
about, he can, no doubt give a satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION for any course ne may have seen prop
er to take on the occasion spoken Of The peo-
pie of Highland thought it altogether unreason-
able to be asked to goaway to Rockbridge Alum.
and therefore respectfully asked the people of
the other counties in the district to come 10 a
more convenient point, and they will endeavor,
without any directions from any source, what
ever, to send such men to the Convention, which
is to meet at Goshen, will fairly represent
their interests At the same time they thank the
delegates from Bath and Rockbridge for their
courtesy in agreeing to change of the time and
place Of meeting. We join in no indiscriminate
crusade against lawyers, yet we prefer that there
should be more intelligent farmers and mechan-
les in the public councils of the Commonwealth
At The same time we can not be cajoled into the
support of Farmers Candidates." so-called.-
We have known some of these who would near
ly go into spasms at the thought of half days
hard work on farm. We farmers do not con-
slider, that in the General Assembly these would
be either useful or ornamental. RUsTICUs.
