u CHARLES PARKMAN, Esq, requests us to
withdraw his name from the list of candidates
for Senators. This honorable course, on the
part OF Capt. Parkman, accords with the opin-
ion we had previously formed of him, that he
was too highminded to lend the sanction of his
name TO promote divisions among those, on
whose union, in great degree, depends the fil-
ture welfare of this State, and of the Union.

instance was intemperanee, that parent of al
most every crime with which the caenders of

was oil an assault of brutal character, by a
man upon ms wife, while in state Of intoxica.

A case was brought up on appeal from a
magistrate, in which three persons were charp.
ed with stealing sheep. The trial was OBJ.
lected to, on the ground OF the iusufficiencv of
the complaint. The warrant issued on com.
plant of Eliakim Davis, and the counsel for
the defendants having shewn that the said Da-
Wis had been convicted of Barratry, the Court
decided that the testimony Of person so con-
