Should ili.'it lie ncc-tiiplislicd where, in the namo of cjiiiuioti sense ivml i llic present bust- i noss of ihe town of Union to'.' All of tlie l*oa llidge business woniil ho lost, that is pretty certain, ami the splendid wagon road from Wood" mil's, mi the Laurens nnd Spartanburg railroad, would take from us all t!io trade in the Cross Keys section of the County.

We repeat the word, merchants, for three of the corpQjj^-,, torn arc tea Mug merchants of tlifs town, and the mercantile intero-t will jull r or be heuelilicd more tliau any other, ami the merchants should lie tlie active workers in the move. \g-iiti, let tin look at the great incentives for building the road to Chester and the tuoueyed influence that is brought to hear upon it. It | would place the splendid water power of hockhart Sir a!s directly on a railroad ; this would immediately attract capitalists to it. Those who know tli so Shoals are aware that its water power is almost Cipial to the p wer they expect to obtain at tVluinbin, and could he developed I nt ot.cliMi the cost. These advantages would very - > 11 he utilized, and in a short time not one factory, as at Clifton, but probably three would bo erected there, an<l a settlement of front 1,to *J.()(' '> iunabitants establisheil, with which lite town of Union would have no inter course but bv 11 miles of often impassable dirt road. The citizens in that viciuity see and at>jiri>i:i:iio those important advantages to themselves, and many are willing to pledge half the worth of their property to it. Chester sees the va t advantage it would hi to her, and will strain every nerve for it. Those are sonic of the influences at work to build the road on that line, an I they are great, an I have tho ring c.f micc'ms in th.mii ; but they are all in direct oppo- j siti iu to tic town of Union. With these incentives an t influences t?f encouragement !,re there not reasons for believing that the r.>:i 1 will he b lilt V And are the people of Union willing to stand still and look at the danger threatening them at d not makeua effort !" save themselves? I it they are, then our skirts are clean of all blame. If there is one earthly tiling wo desire more than another, it i- the building up and prosperity of the to.vn.

Mr. Eimtor : ? llcfore thin icaclies you you, will have learned the result of an election held i in tioudeyville township, for or ' | no tubicrt/jUori to the U. <j. It. nilroad. 1 j ; am a private citizen, Mr. Elliot-, with no aspi- ; rations to uflice, politics, or notoriety. M} j greatest ambition lias been to peacefully follow 5 aiy vocation, cheerfully contribute my tithes, j and merit the confidence nud respect of my | neighbors and party leaders. I plead guilty to j my share of the "Ignorance" attributed to this ( ai'iuoii, uu'iasK jr?? ? ?x 'vanmuo, us i ?iu ovutv* j \ what removed f.-o.u "railroads" or "oenters" distributis.-.' knowledge. 1 have always voted with the deuioc ats, believing that party was honest in its intentions and right in principle, but I have been impressed with the striking similarity of tae creeds and claims, between the democratic parly and the republican party. ] Viewed from their ditrcrcut pl.ufo rns they arc < very nearly the same. The most characteristic and distinguishing feature between the two par ties exists, I conceive, oa this very subject of taxation. The one party (llep.) unhesitatingly ' levying duties and imposts tor the benefit of the majority ; the other parly (Uem.)? ever jealous of the rights of minorities and even individuals, ?is opposed to taxation for the benefit of majorities, corporations, inlivi lu i! enterprises, or other purposes, excepting, in a moderate degree wily, t'ov ttio jmrposos of good governmen! Now, we have boon to the polls. We heard the s'uo My arguments of the advocates for subscription. We bore with die insulting "cant'' an 1 reproach of some of the emissaries for their cause. We saw scenes that recalled those enacted in the days of 08 and 7'), by the "drill masters" and "tricksters'' of the radical party. We thought we knew many of the advocates for the road. We a-died ou.w-lf, arc not some of these the stanthir.l hearer* m the democratic ranks* lieutenant.' in our "clubs?" Yes, and there are others who;., wo have been taught to rcvereueo as 'lie "chief priests' who conduct the service in the democratic temple. What docs this moan? We arc astonished. We aio confused, and we have been trying to rolled. "Let me have a word with you my colored friend," said one. "Vote my ticket for subscription. Railroads, you krow, make things livelyVo l can then get a dollar a day for work. As to iho taxes, why that all comes oil" the land holder. A watermelon will pay all you will be taxed on it. Here take this ticket and put it in. Don't let 'era say anything to you. They are only afraid they win'', get their lands worked." We should have called that deluded man's attention to the back of his ticket. Like our tax receipts, | there is a c-uuiou there-?written obscurely and j palely, Lilt it will become quite legible before j sixteen years. Yet, with a good iigiit and e'ose j scrutiny, we can make it out. It reads : "The I laboring man pays this tax !" Yes. if the innd j owner's broad acres are not tilled lie cannot I have ihewhcro withall to pay. lie does not ' raise a single product, not even "a watermelon," | from which lie realizes a dime to pay anything I He will say to the laborer: - ! had hoped 1 | could oiler you better inducements in rents this | year, but my guano and provision hill must tic ' paid, and taxes are high, r*^erial!>/ on t/.osr rail | Thev dome no good, but unlt'ic contrary , they have advanced tho assessed valuation for i lax mi my land from ><"> to i>l(J per acre.

Now, by ; coilu*i in with his provision merchant, or by :n (inivii," ilie landlord charges up a big per cent, to pay taxes with.

Now, these bonds or coupons, may represent each ?100 or S'_!O0, or oilier value, as may be agreed upon, which -ire called stock or shares. Theso will be put upon the market at home or abroad and capitalists asked to bid, and give us what ready money they will, that we may commence work on our road.
