History. At the moment when NJ.
Raoul Rochelle, the Professor Zone of
the Censors,) assembled his char, cries
of "a bQ& le Cen8eur," resounded from
the upper part of the Saloon, and con-
siderable disturbance took place, which
was not appeased without some difficult
ty, although it was thought eSpedient to
call in the aid of force.
The Halifax Free Press of the 9ist
March, contains an account of the cele-
bration of the anniversary of the tutelar
saint of ireland. The toasts given on
that occasion amounted TO fifty -four in
number. We select the following.
81. A speedy and perpetual non-inter-
course with the United States. Though
we forgive, may we never forget, that
government, whose noblest view was to
strike fatal blow at the land of our fore
fathers; and may the act which they
now contemplate as an injury to these
colonies, recoil upon themselves with
every evil, and teach the inhabitants of
this province at least to be independent
of people whose proffered friendship is
the root of enmity--whose pride would
be the downfall of their country.
80. The United States of America
May the vain desire of being the greatest
nation in the world, be rewarded by their
becoming 90 little ones, and may their
fayorite tune of Yankee Doodle be set
with all the suitable variations.

cEtEoT CITIZENS OF yAqDISoY
COUNT,

- AVING been solicited by some
IL of my friends, l now offer myself
to you, as candidate for your support,
at the ensuing election, as a representa-
tive IN the next General Assembly Of
this state.-As it has been a custom for
candidates to ayow their sentiments, and
point out course which they intend to
pursue--l can only observe; with re-
gard to division of our county ann
opposed to small counties, nor do I
think it proper to suffer division of this
county in any respect from north to
SOUTH deem it unjust to divide and
thereby destroy the importance of the
best and most flourishiDg county in our
state.
And I pledge myself if I should be
elected that my best abilities shall be
exerted for the general good of my fell
low citizens.
