Mn. PRINTER,
Perhaps have been as premature in
my remarks on Judge Phillips, as he
was in the offer of his services. AT the
time of writing my former numbers, it
was not known to me that he was ont of
the state, and his judicial functions per-
formed by proxy. AS l have no wish to
carry OH warfare with citizen of Ten
nessee, and as his friends (f he has any
do not think proper to defend him, shall
postpone my other objections to his cleo
ton till more appropriate season. But
should he issue a bulletin hereafter, in
the name of friend in this state, l shall
think myself as fully at liberty to pro-
coed as though he were present.
l have jus, found out that .fue addi-
tional candidates have indirectly an
nounced themselves. This gubernato-
rial mania seems to exceed that of their
grand prototype Sancho Panza; and to
do them Justice, must confess that some
of the candidates are about equally as
capable of governing. How many more
will enter the lists, | am not able to say !;
yet | feel great anxiety to see the ponies,
vino are to compose this scrub race, fair
ly started.
But of the six candidates who will
shortly call for the patronage of the peo-
pie, | know of but one who always has
been determined advocate for liberty
May success crown the exertions of his
friends-and may the people know how
to appreciate the value OF political ho-
nesty. Three of them continue to ad-
voca,e the federation of slavery and the
remaining two are 7reathercocks, who
turn with the blast OF popularity. But
more of this anon. They may prepare
themselves, if they proceed, to see their
own faces in the mirror of ridicule, and
to read little histories in the newspapers,
(and / believe most Of them can read)
which will not be quite SO entertaining to
their lancies as that of Robinson Cru
Soc"
Hark We, gentlemen candidates. 1t
is from no i'll blood towards any of you,
that give this timely hint--it is to save
your friends from being mortified when
they see your blemishes held up to pub
lie contempt: and you need not think,
that in future, will lash you with silken
cord-Iny weapons will be, the raw-hide
of truth and the switch of ridicule. But
as have little hope that many of you
will take my advice, the public may ex-
pect shortly to hear again from
One ofthe Peohle.

The printing of the laws of the last
session is now completed, and they will
be ready for delivery in the course of this
week. Taking into view the number
printed, rising of two thousand copies,
and the size of the volume, we trust no
fault will be found with the printers for
their late appearance.

TO THE LAST OF MAY.


TO THE LAST OF MAY.
Stay one moment, lovely May,
Till the "Nine" their Tyres have strung,
Till delightful they shall play,
And thy beauteous scenes be sung.
Has the slumb'ring muse too long,
Much too long, her song deferr'd!
Partially thy charms are gone,
And thy graces DISAPPEARED.
Where's the brook that purlng stray'd
Down the mountains snowy side
Where's the sportiye duck that play'd
On the silver bosom'd tide?
No more the robin wakes the dawn
Perch'd upon leaaess spray,
Where bis soft persuasive song
Sang the wintry winds away.
Still some lingering beauty stay,
Still, sweet spring, thy charms remain,
Whilst thy youngest daughter, May,
Decks with flowers the yerdant plain:
Still the cautious willy crow,
Pois'd a sentinel on high,
Warns the plund'ring foclss below
That some skulking sportsman's nigh:
Still tits sweet to range alone,
When the village toll is still,
Where upon the moss-clad stone
Sings the lonely whip-pocr-wilL.
Stay one moment, lovely May,
Ere thou bidst the year adieu,
Till Pve fix'd thy image, stay.
BY last impressive view:
Then may Summer pour her heat,
Then may AUTUMN dash her rain,
Then may Winte,'s tempest beat,
Thy blessed image shall remain.

EDWARDSVILLE, JUNE 5, 1921.

For the information of persons interested in
the act for the relief of the purchasers of public
lands, we state, that no instructions from the
Treasury Department have been received at
the Land-office in this district, and that, until
the arrival of such instructions, applications for
the benefit of the act will be useless.
James Prescott, Judge Of Probate for Mid
dlesex district, in Massachusetts, has lately
been impeached, tried, found guilty, and dis
missed from Office.
BY accounts of the New-York election, re-
ceived by the last mail, it appears that the
Clintonians will have majority in heSenate,
and the Bucktails majority in the next House
of Representatives of that state. We do not
find that any dough-face has been rc-elect-
ed to Congress.

LAW LECiSlON.

CFrom The Drdham Register Of Mureb 2.
On Monday last, the opinion OF iho
Court was given, i'll Boston, by Ch,ef
Justice Parker, in the case of Baker &
al. Deacon, &c vs.. Faies. The ac.
ton was u"plevin prosecuted by TIE
plaintiffs as Deacons of the First Church
in Dedham for the recovery of sundry
bonds and other securities for the pay,
ment OF money, together with The records
and documents belonging to said Church.
The defendant plead in bar, lst. THAI
the property belonged to him and not to
the plaintiffs, 2d'y, that the plaintiffs wer.
not deacons OF the First Church in Dej-
ham; and, 3dly, that he was deacon os
the First Church in Dedham. Issues
were joined upon the several pleas, and
were tried before Judge Wilde in this
county, at the February term of ,h:
Court in 1920. At the trial it was adj
mitted that the property replevied belong!
ed to the First Church in Dedham, and
and that those who were deacons Of
said Church, had lawful right to the,
custody of it. After the ministerial Of J

1t appeared that of thirty-eieM mem.
bers belonging to the First Church in
Dedham, seventeen voted against the
settlement Of Mr.. Lamscn, fifteen in Ea.
vor OF it, and six did not vote. 1t ap-
peared that, after the ordination of Mr..
Lamson, those church members who ac-
hered to the parish, and were in favor oF
the ordination of Mr.. Lamson their pas
tor, elected the plaintiffs their deaconr,
had the Christian ordinances administered
to them and because the defendant, who
was then a deacon of said first Church.
entirely absented himself from at,endin,r
publick worship with the parish, and
neglected to perform the duties ofdeacon
OF the church remaining with the parish.

felt aggrieved at the settlement cs
