knowledge and penetration will be highly useful
The last named gentleman, Mr.. ADAMS. has
long been in public life, and we ought to avail
ourselves of his experience and intelligence.
His acquaintance with parliamentary proceed
ings, and the whole routine of public duty, will
render him valuable member of your Senate.
These are your Candidates for the Senate: men
temperate in their political sentiments, but firm
of the Washington and Adams School, who a.
way have believed that the Federal policy would
alone promote the true interests Of the commu-
nifty, and that the present prosperity Of the coun
try is to be attributed to its partial rtuiual and
adoption in our National Cabinet Let eyerv
friend to that policy do his duty and their eeo-
zion will be secure.
In offering the
Hon. GEORGE BRADBURY.
as candidate for Member of Congress-the in.
terest of the District has been consulted: he has
repeatedly represented it, and always with cred
it to himself, and fidelity to his constituents-he
untes in his character as politician prudence
and discretion with .f,-auiess and integrity An
opposing candidate will probably be nominated.
1t is therefore necessary that every man should
be Punctual at the polls.
