M. 1 roup, is a. mong ihe candidates, a gentle man, whole lepublicankni, in tegrity & talents entitle him to claim a very dillinguifhed place in the affections of the people of'this county, as well , as of his fellow-citizens at large.— He has frequently re presented thin county in the general aflcmhly of this (late, and ttt that capacity has dif chargrd his duty not only to the per left approbation of his conlliiuentuj but iri a manner highly honorable to fi.s own firmnefs, coofiiloncy and pa. tuotfl'm.— It is expected that his old friends will not be backward or uk ‘w rjn at this important occaliott, but that they will come forward with their uluai alacrity Sc zeal. col.

We are apprehertfive, that too much aparhv reigns a mor.g the republican interest of this county.— We have bfitid, that the/er/s arc ve y busy in the contrivance of a plot, which they think will bow up the republican ticket at the next regular election of a lehatot <&|iepreientatives for this county.—i’he fact is, that there i, not as much zeal and activity, among the repubii. cans as there uled to he.

As focn as one icoe ralists creeps into power, freni the prefumption,or lukewarm nefs of the republicans, another will follow him, and so on,un til the pvogrcfiion brings hack to us the blelsings of John A darn’s Administration, and all the measures which belong to it. Would it not be well to call a meeting as speedily as pofftble, and fix upon a ticket —and when that tneafure is adopted, the republicans will rally under their standard to a man, and as heretofore, success will attend their candidates.
