Having our usual holiday on the 4th,
and being invited by fellow-townsman
to accompany him to picnic in Casey
county, celebrating the i03rd anniversary
Of the Declaration Of Independence, We
mads an early start. We passed ont the
Halls Gap Turnpike and reached the
heights in time to take view Of our town
and vicinity from the top Of Halls Gap,
just tinted by the rising sun. Why our
people do not bring visitors here to show
them a view Of the valley from this point,
Is one Of the questions we can not solve,
as IL is certainly one Of the finest views
our county affords. Passing then over the
Tunnel, and thence through the grand old
woods, which, meeting overhead, make
delightful and cool arcade, delightful TO
travellers during these sunny days. As we
approached the grounds the numerous We
hicles loaded with their freight Of youths,
maidens, old age and Infants, gave Us no
tice that all would be there. When we
arrived the ground presented neat APP
pearance. The stand was covered by the old
flag, and an immense quantity Of smaller
banners. The exercises had commenced
before our arrival, inaugurated by the
reading OF the Declaration OF lndepend-
ence. In consequence Of the failure to
put In their appearance, OF the invited
speakers the people were compelled to re-
ly upon the aid OF those present. The
Cicero Of the Mountains" was called up
and spoke in his usual style, as We learn,
bat not being present, can not speak OF ao-
tual knowledge. lie was followed by our
townsman, X. {. Warren, who, in few
happy remarks, added to the pleasure of
the occasion. lie was followed by MIR.
Stone, Of Pulaski, in like manner. After
dinner, Col. Adams, OF Casey being called,
made line patriotic speech, closing the
speaking OF the day.
The grounds were adorned by spacious

The report that the Democratic
County Committee had requested Mr..
Gooch 10 withdraw from the Legisla-
tive race is untrue. The Committee
neither has the right nor the inclina-
ton to make such a request, and Il
will be seen by Mr.. GoOch's card in
another column that he intends TO run
from ''eend TO eend." There are, per
haps, few Democrats, who, mislead
by Bobbitt's boasts and an earnest de
sire for the success Of our party, may
think Mr.. Gooch the wrong man 10
lead ne to victory, but now is not the
time for the expression Of such feel
ings. Mr.. Gooch advertised his can
didacy months and months before the
Convention, and neither then nor at
the Convention was there q man to
get up and oppose his nomination or
sugges, better standard bearer. His
nomination by the party was unani-
nous, and il now behooves every man
who claims the high honor Of being a
Democrat, to give him a strong and
unequivocal support. We do not
claim for him, neither does he claim
for himself, the great power If elected
to change laws at will. to reduce the
expenditures Of the State to mere
song. or tocut offthe supply Of ice and
the cloak room keeper from the next
Legislature, but he is good common
sense farmer, Of fair education, thor
oughly upright in his dealings, and is
a man that can be trusted on any and
all occasions. We have not in our
recollection had a speaking member
from this county, nor do we want one.
The walls Of the House Of Delegates
will not resound with the eloquence Of
Mr.. Gooch, but his vote will always
he cast on the right side, and with an
eye single to the best measures for the
greatest number. Then. we can not
afford to elbow Mr.. Gooch to be beat
en-; the success of races hereafter will
depend in a great measure on his sue
cess, and the DISCRIMINATION his de
feat would occasion, would be felt for
years to come. Let each true Demo
crat put his shoulder to the wheel
with a strong heart, and 500 majority
for GoOch will crown their efforts. Let
the subcommittee appointed Monday,
20 to work with a will and assisted by
the best men Of the party, all will be
