rels that should adorn Lucas brow-(we refer
to his Congressional honors.) Disclaiming any
Intention OF dealing in personalities, we reserce
me right at all times to criticize the acts of all
public men. OfJudge Hoge we have nothing
to say OF personal nature, save that we ad-
miro him as person, combining in one the
nice gentleman, social companion and INTEL
ligent man. 1t is, however, generally con.
ceded among all with whom we have con.
versed, both friends of Lucas and Hoge. that
this Hardy democrat" has greatly dam.
aged the Judges cause, and well may he ex-
claim, "God save me from such friends."-
And further, We can scarcely believe that
democrat spoke by authority delegated
him by Judge Hoge. We regret, that in this
hurried review, and in the performance of
duty, not alone as,the defender of one Of cold
Jetferson's" brightest sons, but as a faithful
chronicler of facts as gathered from trust
worthy sources, that we have been compelled
to use this gentleman's name, and have only
to add in concluding our reference to Judge
h., that if any offense has been givon, none
was intended. Holding ourselves personally
responsible at all times for our actions. we
respectfully state for the benefit (?) and in
formation of this Hardy Democrat" that

pear at the bottom of this letter, that it can
be obtained of the editor of this paper, upon
application. prooiaea, hooeoer. that its use is
intended for purpose other than the
mere qualification of an idle curiosity.
In concluding, We cannot but express
our surprise at the course of our old friend
the Free Press, and can only account for tn
insertion of letter. refiooting upon a gen.
tlemap born and bred in our midst, in ;ts val
uso,e columns las one of those mistakes
liable to be made ut times by any we'll con-
Quoted paper, viz: that of allowing matter TO

Thanking you, Mr Editor, for the space al
lowed as in your valuable columns, and in

in my letter which he publishes, and did
not give Mr.. Lucas the copy until after j udge
Hoge had published his letter in the hide,
pendent in relation to the matter !; but rs I
have published my reasons more al large in
the Spirit of jefferson, will nos repeat
them here.
It only remains to be said that the friends
Of Mr.. Lucas did vote for Judge Hoge, and
he thereby secured his nomination, and that
otherwise he would not have been nominated

a correspondent OF the Kingwood, W. Va.
argus pitches into our Representative in
Congress, Judge Hoge, and charges him with
neglect of duty in regard to the usual annual
appropriation ofs25, 900 by Congress for the
improvement Of the Monongaheia River, II
appears that when the Committee of Cons
merce reported their general Harbor and
River bill, smnunting,to some twenty millions
OF dollars, that the appropriation of s25 900
for the Improvement of the Mononsahela
River was left out of the bill. The ARGUS
correspondent goes on to say that "b1r. Hoge
must have neglected that interest and that
ne made piteous appeal to MIR. Page, (the
Chairman,) stating that he would be ruined
it something was not done for his relief"
AS appears by the Congressional Record
OF June 18th, "Mr. Hoge offered az amend ,
ment to add s25, 900 for the improvement Of
the Monongahela River" when Mr.. McL.ne
said
II am authorized by the Chairman of the
committee on Commerce (Mr. Page) to state
that TINS item was omitted from the bill by in
advertence Under the law THE GoyrRNMENT
Is UNDER AN OBLIGA ALTON To CONSTRUCT TErs
DAM, provided another dam is constructed
Whicn IS NOW BEING CONSTRUCTED undor an
AdaIrMRNr with the Governne The amend.

The correspondent closed by saying:
NOW. is there any man in this District 80
green as to believe that if Judge HoRe bad
called the attention of tho Comn,ittee to these
there could have been tho least objection to Tbs Il
appropriationf It is difficult to see how 80 plain
