DISTRICT CONSTRUCTION," OVER THE LEFT. 111 rerrard to cur remarks last week cf the difficulty of obtaining nutter cf a character to make a neu tral paper interesting, some persons have construed our language into a declaration to publish a political paper. No such idea was IXTENDJSD in that article, neither was it expressed in a (Manner to justify such a conclusion. hen we undertake to publish a political paper, (which we have no idea at present of doing,) we hope to ha able to express it in a manner not to bo misunderstood, -so that 4he that runs, though a fool, may read. There arc men in every community of quick perception, long sighted, knowingmen who are a sort of ''I know - ro it" persons, and tell everything at a glance, if it were not fu-r the influence they might, be enabled to exert, we would not notice them in this way, but would trust to the hone-t intelligence of our readers to decide as to the neutrality of the paper. Ii such sayings are still circulated we will be tempted to exclude all poUtical matter. from cur. columns, except as -advertisements only, and charged for accordingly. But we hope that no intelligent man will undertake to circulate reports of partiality to either party on our part in the manngemei.t of the paper. 'Whatever may bo our political views outside f the paper is a matter that belongs to ourself, individually and net as the conductor of a paper, and we expect to exercise our individual rights without asking permission cf any one, always, however, we hope in a mild and judicious man ncc Kcvv Firsts.

His speech was mostly made up of subjects pertaining to matters of 52 tate, and an account of his stewartship during the time he has been its Executive. The Agricultural interest ho awakened in the minds of his audience will n doubt be beneficial to tho organization of an Agricultural Society in this County. Mr. McCarty followed Mr. Wright, touching upon various subjects, mostly, however, in reference to the remarks of the Governor, in a kind uf burlesquing manner. lie created a gouu deal cf mirth throughout his spc ccn by tho exercise of his mimicking faculties. In his remarks concerning the Governor ollicial act ons, he admitted thai Mr. Wright had acted hone-t! and wisely, but at the same tint, thought if lie had boon G overnor he could have done the same himself. - At tho conclusion of Mr. McCarty's speech, lie introduced to tho audience Dr. At w.and -the Democratic candidate for Treasurer of State, who arose and made a few remarks to the audience.
