SCOTTISH ELSC TMNS

COUNT v OF IN FAIN ESThe last, but certainly not the
least, of the Scottish County Elections, takes place oil Fri.
day—the choice of a Representative for this county.
Many of the supporters both of Mr. Charles Grant and Mr.
Macleod, of Macleod, are already in the field, and a Lust-
day is expected. The number of freeholders is shout ei.clitl;,

vote. There is every prospect of Mr. Grant being again re-
turned by the county. Mr. Macleod has received and is en-
titled to every respect as a private country gentleman, Inn lie
committed a fatal error in soliciting votes solely on the ground
of his being countenanced by Ministers, with the vain
of defeating a public man, whose long tried public ser.!ec.,
have reflected honour both on himself and the Representatkn
of Scotland.—lnverness Courier,
