Ho,U tO Le chosen Representatire.

Ar. Adams-We have in this town one of those eV CT active and eVery-where-presenf managers Of oca politics that unhappy infest all parts of the country He has recently resorIed to very curious expedent to promote his own ambitious views and the interest Of KinderhOokery in this part Ol Lichfeld county.- The affair il is believed merits Iitle commemoraton ] through the columns of your paper. It may not be improper however in the first place observe tha, this worthy character, like others of his species who have sproUed up into consequence by the hot.bed process oi making men "pairioIs in proportion their inter- es'' has very keen eye discerning he own super at'Ve merits. He sagey concludes that no one else
 n the town Is tt 10 hold place of IOmor profit but
 his own exalted sef-that no words are comprehen- sve enough to do ustce his own worth except such
 as are as broad "&c. &c., Sc. in certain accounts against certain town rendered by ce,tain gentle man who shall for the presen. be nameess. Taking this view of the subject, he caused himself afer his appearance among us to be elected Town Clerk, next to he appointed Post Master, and finally to be chosen Representative of the town in the General As- sembIy, where he greatly distinguished himseIf by affecting speech the subject of the statute { ing Hawkers Pedlars, aud Petty Chapmem. Alter he had served the a number of years as Repre- sentative he discovered with infinite chagrin that there symptoms of disafection n the ranks of the faithful. Many of his subalterns began shrewdIy to suspect that else in all the town of Roxburv might find his way the halls of legislation as well as our most noble dictator himself In consequence our esmabe friend concluded that it might be prudent to pass at least for season into dgnifed retirement and to appease the appetite two orihree of his hun. gry followers by little opporune promotion 10 egis- ative honors. During the past winter however, there
 have been many indications that our Post Master had concluded that forbearance no longer a virtue, and that the prosperity of patent democracy demand ed that he should his seat in the Legislature But how can measure so indispensable be effected :? that was the question; how can tue disaffected be re- | conciled the waiverng confirmed? and the People be blinded and hoodwinked so that the projects of in trgue and sel6shness might be surely accomplished Alter 3nedI'atng profoundly in this grave matter, he determined to forward to the Hon. Doctor Lanceloi Phelps Representing in part all the democracy of the State m our national councs)-a roll of near two- thirds of the electors of the town, high and low rich and poor, that they might be beafed by the frank Of Globe newspaper or Congress iona oc- ument. The accommodating little Barkhamsted Doc | tor, in compliance with the wishes of our patriotic Postmaster, commenced firing every species of missile 'aio the town through the U. s. Mail, and indeed he 1 has recently SC loaded it down with his dsinterested favors that the whole concern would have made inev- i'abe shipwreck in an enormous snow drift on Good d'' had not one of the Woodbury democratic horse shearers seized the postrider's nag by the tai and thus saved not only Uncle Sams saddle bags but this entire community from experiencing a terrible catas- trophe The consequence of these proceedings is,
 that the hearts of all of citizens are bursting with gratitude, and shall without doubt elect our high minded dictator to the next Legislature by accIama- | ton. REAL DEMOCRAT
