In heaven’s name, what do raeu of

Does the right of stiff age car ->e a glow
of pride to th’ill a man's he?., when
he gees to the wards of our great cit'es

Ah ! grand words, wowhy of being
ut.ercl by the man whose love of
count; y wasgteuter than love'of self-

halls of justice, did he iguorc the in-
terestof the poor mm, the “bones and

loud and long, for around h's memo-

Aud have we no Jackson’s in this

couni the prosperity of ou? fellow

It is creditable a'ikc, to both Messrs.
Mitche" and Moody, who contested
for Senator yesterday, that there was
no mud sbng'ng. It was a clean,
gentlemanly canvass. This, however,
was to be expected, when two thor

As we pr: lictcd yesterday, these
two gentlemen received their large,t
vote : n tins precinct. Wc publish be •

is not complete, but we give is as fo'l

the county will accept the result and
