this District, Mr. Patton We do not hesitate to avow
the regret which feel that Mr. Patton was not cboscn

public whether the Committee to scrutinise md purge

by the resolutions of the primary meeting of the qua-

no dehnitve answer as to their future in ela

by their votes, that they prepared 10 bring on the
Senatorial Election Friday last is only fair to pre-
that their minds arc made nm on the question a. ;s

original signatures of majority of the in favor
OF ms reeiection gentlemen and will applaud tho
act of Delegate in obeyng you We do not believe
one hundred and Seeentyoe Of The legal Of Peters
1uTg coud sign such paper Perhaps, one hundred
and fifty itnot perfectly clear them that great
er number OF his constituents indicate in their proper per-
sons to Mr. Brown, their desire that should vote for
Mr Leighs reelection than have directed that gentle
man TO vote against him, that he ought voe?-tnt
