crease, so that this ratio still holds true.
Upon this basis West Virginia, n ON the
labor, and poverty, and consumption OF
her people, contributes 10 this surplus
the sum OF 81, 2S6, 900. amer paying three
times that amount for the necessary aud
legitimate expenses OF the Government.

thick and fast have fallen on him.
For more than twenty years he has

he is nominated for the third term in
Congress. The fact that he is very
wealthy appears to be the great and
only lodestone that draws around
him such multitude Of admiriDg

abuse Of Senator Camden because
he too Is man of large means.
