JOSEPH DUNCAN.
Gen. DUNCAN. The paragraph inserted below 1,

pressed at the prospect of party distinctions icing
kept up in our approaching elections, if the oly i'll
to be unprecedented is the defeafof Gen
Duncan in the 5ubernatorial canvass. Jhat gentle

Duncan's personal preferences for one or oiler

upon the bill to modify the act Of the 18th Ju.
