Judge, has addressed a letter to the electors of
that County, setting forth his claims to the of
fee. The whole letter is 50 much of curl
osity in politics and literature, that we would
publish it entire We're il not for its length. Af
ter an eXordium in the Fourth of July Grafton
style, and declaring that he "teels proud
" hen he contempIates himself free citizen
Of this great rtpuhc,' he goes on to speak of
he ordeal through which candidates for tn,
office are obliged to pass. This disposed OF,

he has warm friends on both sides of the
question, some the friends of kinnard, others,

agreeably to our law | can only vote for one
Representatives" thereby showing his accom-
modating disposition, and indicating his will
ngness to vote for both if the law would al

diary and secure the votes of both parties -
This is the mode he proposes. "Suppose,
then, | vote a sentimental vote. and every man

we differ too" 81 fault no man for voting

compassion, they will permit VIM. ID. Rock

''votc sentimental votes" themselves, and
then elect him to the office of Associate Judge
If they cannot get better.
