when they have many ADLER statesmen in
their ranks than he is. / can only account
for this in one way; it is his money that
gives him his popularity over gentlemen
in his own party possessing superior abili-
ties to him. By way of closing up on Mr..
Golf / viii add that he has never been
known to use his money for the develop
ment of the State in any way; but is only
known TO use it for selfish purposes. Hav-
ing disposed of Nathan Golf as statesman
and candidate for the United States Sen
ate, l now propose briefly to call the atten-
ton of the people of this State to his oppo-
nent, o candidate also for the United States
Senate. Let US look at his record and
history for the last twenty-five years. J..
y. Camden is also known as one OF the
moneyed men Of this State. Let us see
how he IS using his money. He is not a
bond holder, nor a banker; though posses
sOr of a great deal of property, he does not
invest in Government bonds to escape pay
ing his just proportion of taxes, as his OPP
ponent, Goff, does. Camden invests his
money in the development of the State, by
building railroads to aid and assist the
people in getting their products TO the best
markets; he has already completed N
railroad from the city of Wheeling to
Parkersburg, a distance of 80 miles; and
Is, at this time, constructing another rail-
road from Parkersburg to Point Pleasant,
a distance of 80 miles more, which last
line OF railroad will be equipped and in
running order by the first of January
next, when this road will be put in good
aA,l,A,-- . A. nNE. recommendation ~
freight and passengers.
Mr. Camden's next move is to construct
a railroad from Charleston to Weston, via
Clay and BraxtOn Court Houses. In the
construction of this railroad he will spend
at least 5000, 900 in the county of Kama
wha, to say nothing of the enhancements
of the value of the property of every citi-
zen in the city of Charleston, and those
owning real estate along the line of the
proposed road. This is the way that Mr..
Camden proposes to use his money, for the
benefit of the people of his wi State, in
stead Of investing it in government bonds,
as his opponent, Golf. has done. Mr..
Camden will spend large sums of money in
the proposed lire of railroad from Charles,
ton to Weston, which proposed road will
pass through the counties Of Kanawha,
Clay, BraxtOn and Lewis. In the con-
struction of this line of railroad, the people
residing in these counties through which
it will pass will receive the benefits Of the
large sums of money that it will cost to
construct the road. During its cOnstruc-
ton it will give employment to 4 large
number of laboring men, now out of en-
ployment; and when the road is COM
pleted it will develop the richest mineral
and timber lands in the State. 1t seems
to me that the people of West Virginia
will not have much trouble in deciding
that Camden is the preferable candidate
for the United States Senate. And | hope
that it may be the pleasure Of the State, on
the 2nd of November next, to cast their
votes for the candidates for the Legisla-
ture that will give their hearty support to
Mr.. Camden instead Of Mr.. Con, for
United States Senator. l may ut some
future time express my reasons in regard
to the course Of the two gentlemen while
in Congress. CIYls.
