of the disease here. The official notification OF the
| Mayor, and the Affirmation of Dr. Blair, TO which
we call the country readers attention, are conclu-
sve Of this fact. And in truth, were any cases to
show themselves here, the precautions against the
spreading OF the infection, taken by the police are
such as to prevent the possibility of extensive nec-

The popularity and weight of character Of such men

quarter, to make no nomination unless the whole

their Elizabeth City, Charles City nor n. Kent sent
depuesin which case, and ifthis purpose is adhered
to, nominations will be made AS the deputies
