That after signing a petition for the Road ther-Vt'lligs should now find fault with Messrs. Limber lon and Lefever for having the la* passed, seems .to be regarded..by the Volunteer as something very outrageouK 'And so it might ,appear without some explanation of the circumstances. For our part we did not read the petition before signing it. 11..waahancied to us by a gentleman in 'whom we had:cenfldence, and ,we therefore-signed-it-without much -or any reflection. And this'we are informed is the case with most of the other Whig petitioners.. They understood it to be a petition for a nimilnownship road, which would be of great public advantage, against which there were no objections, arid the expense of which would be trifling, and they hastily signed-ft therefore without making much in quiry. But these petitioners no more expec ted- or--intended---to-ask-lor -the passage of such law, by which an expense of several &wand dollar's should be entailed upon the county-, than they did of petitioning for a line of the magnetid telegraph to Lamberton's Saw mill. They signed. this petiton entirely in the dark as to the facts which are now be fore the public, and that pubhc may there fore judge of their, astonishment at finding, themielves - held up the enormous expense which has been saddled upon the county by the budding of this road. But we may be told that we are responsi ble for the passage of the law, no:withstan ding we signed the petition thus unthinking ly.• Let us see how this is. Many of these Whig petitioners reccollect that they were distinctly tpld that this Road would not cost over 0600. Thu concluding sentence of the petition • (which we have since , procured a copy of,) in fact makes this statement, viz: "Roads are already made to the foot of the mountain on• each side, wtrich require • but slight alterations and improvelnients; and the road can be so advstitageously located acrossilie gap of the mountain that_y_our_pe titioners co.ifidently believe that the ex pense Will — not exceed SIX HUNDRED. DOLLARS." • No Whig ever objecte to the construction of improvements of teal value r ivhere the cosLis reasonable, and thus believing many signed this petition. But what is really the expense of this Road, as priivide'd for in the law secured by .Messrs. LAMBERTON and LE FEVER 1 According to an-estimate of a cor respond-ent in to-day's paper the Road will cost nearly THREE - THOUSAND DOL LARS! Others estimate that it will coat a still higher sqm, and .in truth no one seems to know how much ft will cost ! Is such a road, misting this enormous amount, what the Whigs petitioned for? Will the Volun teer have the hardihood to assert that the petitioners were aware that such a law would be the result of their petition ? The public will see at once that these Whig petitioners have been grossly deceived in this matte', and we call the paiticular at tention of the people ol the county to the fact that while the petitioners looked to an outlay of only S6OO for this Road, the lan' as 'framed by Messrs. LAMDERTON and LEFE VER has provided for a Road which will cost the county THREF. THOUSAND DOL. LARS, and perhaps more! flow then can. the responsibility be late on the Whig peti tioners? The Volunteer endeavors to screen Mr. UMBERTO:A Irdn responsibility by saying that its did not after,all vote for the law.— Thie is presuming upon_i laige amount of public gullibility. Here is a road which termi nates at Mr. Lambtrton's saw-mill,the value of which it of courso . greatly enhances, and yet the Volunteer would have us believe that Mr. Lamberton felt no interest in it!— He did not vote for it ! We suppuse' he ne ver asked a friend to vote for it! We , sup pose he',was not sure that he had. friends enough to stand by , it, bolero •he rioketi dodging himself!

'Yet Locolocoism sneeringly asks, "what ate his qualifications," Rely ing upon Gen.

'What has he done? Where are his great- actions?

We see no groundoi objection that the Volunteer could urge except that_they are private Whig citizens.

' East Pascagoula, Sept..4lll, 1848 _ • : null SIR: On the 22d day of April last, I addreased yoga letter explaining my views in regard to varionsmatters.M public policy, lest my - fellow citizens might be misled by the rranv.ctinflicitina statements-ineepect to them which appeare d in , journals.Of the day and Were 'circulated th roughout' the, country. I-now find myself misrepresented and mis understood'ppon another point, of such im mixture to inkselrperiiinuilly, if not to the country at large, as to claim froM me a can did 'but connected eXposition of my rela tions to the public in regard to the pending Presidential canvass. The utmost-ingenuity has been expended upon several jetters and detached sentences. of letters,. which have recently appeared' over my eurtutture, to elinw that I occupy an equitoeal attitude towards the yarious par ties into which,the people are divided, espe cially.totvaids tlia. %Vhig gutty as represent ed by the Natierral ff.onventiOn, which as sembled in Philadelphia in June last. Had these letters and seraps.of.letters been. pub lished or construed in connection with:what I have heretofore said. upon .this-subject,l. should. not now; have to complain oh the speed with which my 'answers to isolated queStlonaliave,b3en-given up to the-criti cism of those who have been made my ene mies by a nomination which has been ten dered to me without solicitation or Jirrange mem of mine, or of the manner in which' selected passag es in some of my letters, written in the 'reedom and carelessness of a confidential correspondence, have been com municated to the public press. But riven from the context, and seperated from a se ries of explanatory facts and circumstances Avh ich-ave r in _so. far-as. ibis car! vass cerned, historical, they are as,deceptive as though they were positive fabrications. ,1 address you this letter to correct -the injustice thal has been done me, and the public toile extent that I am an object of interest to them by this illiberalproCess. I shall not weary you by an elaborate ie. eitarel every incident conneciegtwith the ,firetTiresentation of my name as a candidate for the Presidency: I was then at the head 01 the American Army in the Valley of the Rio .Gratitle.: -. -1 was surrounded by Wings and Dem - news who had stond'by me in the trying hours of my life, and whom it was my destiny to conduct through scenes of still greater trial. My duty to that army nhd to the Republic, whose battles we were waging, forbade my assuming a position of seeming hostility. to any pennon of the brave men under my command—all of whom knew 1 was a' Whig in principle, for I made no con cealment of my political sentiments or pre dilectipas, Suck find been the violence of party snug gles during our late presidential elections, that the acceptance of a nomination under the rigorous interpretations given to the obli• gat ions,of a candidate 'presented to the pub lic with .li, formulary of political principles, was equivalent'' almost to a declaration of uncompromising enmity to all who did not subscribe- to he tenets. I was unwilling to hazard the effect of such rolationt hip towards any of the soldiers under my command, when in front of an enemy common to us all. It woilil have been unjust in itself, rid it was as tspuguant to my own feelings, as it was to my duty. I wanted unity in the army, and forbore any act that might ROW the seeds of distrust and discord in its ranks. I have not my letters written, at the time, before me, but they ate all of ono import. aril in.centormity with the views he,rein ex-1 pressed. Meanwhile I was solicited by my person al friends and by strangers, by Whigs and Democrats,in consent to become a candidate. I was nominated by, the-people in primary assemblies—by Whigs, Democrats and Na tives, in ;seperate and mixed meetings. • I resisted them all, and continued to do so till .led to believe that. my opposition was assu ming the aspect of a defiance orthe•popu lar wishes. I yielded - only when it looked like:presuiription•to ' resist longer, and, even then I shount.pot. have done so had not the nomination been piesented to me in a form , unlikely toawal , en acrimony or re-produce the bitternesti 'of" feeling which attends [dip olar electiona.. I say it-in sincerity and truth, that a part of :tliginducament to my consent , was the. hope that by going into the canvass, it would be conducted' with candor, if not with kindness. Ithaebgert, tin fault of mine that this anticipation hagproved a vaiii.'one. -After I 4termitteit'mysell to be announced for the Presidency, under Itig‘eircumstances above noticed, I. acceptid nomination : after nomination, in,the,opii it in which they.svei e tendered:; They werti;madeirrettpective of parties,,and•sq acknowledged.'

At.i.tsrm. Espomitor. The - Slate Road front Lamber ton's Saw Mill. - •Ma. EDITOR - :—Your publication of the see lions of the Law authorizing the Construction of a Road from- Lamberton's Saw Mill to •Weise's Biidgerl utaleistand has brought down on you the terrible wrath of the Denio trat--aild-Voluote r:r . It .poems-terrine-the giving publicity to a Law in which the-pec pie of the county are so deeply interested, was rather a meri!ortotis than a censurable act; and I think the Editors of the Democrat and Volunteer, if they have any 'desire to put their readers in possession of all the facts of the case, ought to publish the law t Iso. It is said a number of -Whigs signed a pe tition- for this Road,—amotig them yt•titself, The writer of this also signed said petition. But when lie_did sn, lie had no idea that the Road was to be made at the expense of the County.. He supposed that, being a State Road, it would be made by th'e State. This had been done in the case of other toads.— rhis county was entitled to some approptia; lion from the State, as it is pay,ing.enormous taxes on achount of money expended in other portions of the State. To strengthen my recollection, f referred to the Journals for the action of the Legislature concerning sev eral Slate Roads iti the county, and found that towards the expense' of laying out and making the State Road from Gettysburg through through Cumbetland to Perry county, the State contributed a large amount—See Pdm phlet La wsiof 1832-3, page 478. To repair the State Road from the Harrisburg Bridge to the mouth of the Juniata, the State appropri ated $BOO. So also, towards repairing the State Roza( troin the Harrisburg Bridge to Sterrett's Gap; the State appropriated $BOO - See Pamphlet Laws of 1838 . -9, pages 449 and 453. These two last appropriations were made- while Mr. Pemose was in the Senate. The knowleilge of these facts, and others not nevi accessible, led me to suppose, when called upon to petition a Road across the mountain at that place, fhtd it would he made al the expense of the State. When Mr. Penrose procured thza passage of Laws lot State Roads, they were thus paid for, but Mr. Lumberton, like a 4 ilaitliful' Legislator," procures enactments for costly enterprises •which fall entirely on the. County And this 011ie Cumberland county is paying taxes for the, State improvements, from which she receives not the slightest direct benefit! What'striVes me as singular is, that Mr. ;Lumberton, who -is peculiarly interested in the making of this .Road, eh have the heldnesti, while a 'lneoft, berof Cepigii!lature, to, procure its' passage, requiting the Cotipf,y , •io-besr the eiPense.
