Byreqaest we announce the name OF Judge HUI
ling, though we do not believe the gentleman will
run, having seen his name announced in different
parts othe State, yet have not seen his ascent to
it. Therefore we shallru TT. Word, well known
as a Gentleman oftalont, and every way qualified
for the Office to which he aspires.
Since the above was put in type we have ascer-
tanned that Judge Huling declines running,
Il Censure .Eisp!acea.-The Editor feels it
his duty, in the true sense of that word to offer an
apology to any Gentleman to whom he may have
done the least injustice, by any remarks, in his
Editorial, in relation to them. The Editor there
fore is proud that he has been able to obtain such
evidence, US has been afforded him by Mr.. Hobbie,
LIST. Assistant Postmaster General in relation to
the great delay of mail facilities afforded the Town
of Ripley and its vicinity; and which has been so
Justly the source of complaint.
In the Editors end No. he recoect to have used
rome expressions condemnatory of the course, that
he then conceived NJ. Z. Hunter to have taken,
with regard to the mail to tie Town of Ripley; in
which remarks the Editor imputed neglect
of duty, to that Gentleman: But since that time
the Editor has been fully convinced that II was no
want Of duty on the part Of Mr.. Hunter that our
mai focilit es were no cooper fy,rdoJ nc hndbo
hopes that this apology will give full satisfaction
for any injury Mr.. Hunter may have sustained by
the remarks referred to; as this mode of doing him
justice is altogether commensurate with the injury
inflicted. Blu, while the Editor is not disposed to
make scape-goat of any one, for the purpose of
bearing OFT the sins of another, yet he will say .
that, from testimony strong enough to leave not
the shadow ofc doubt, the Post master General has
been guilty of gross neglect-for it is now point
concededby all that was his duty to furnish every
County Settle with a mail rout and in violation of
that duty the Town of Ripley was left for months
without mail, even after notice was forwarded to
him of the location of Ripley and of all necessary
facts that could be required to insure mail facilities
to any rlace: In proof of this let facts be remem.
bered. When did Salem Spring Hill and other
places in the margin of this county receive the adj
vantages of a mail! We envy not our neighbours
but we scorn the hand that holds unsteady, the
beam Of Justice. But we will forbear lese the
Sedltion Law be revived and the more especially
as "honea .4nos," like Cmsar's Wife must not
only be honest but indeed must not be suspected.
Or it may be that, while this Royal Sycophant
was basking in the full Sun shine of the powers /
that be, he had forgotten the people of this portion
OF the country, as majority of them had been
considered sufficiently loyal. Or some important
event may have engaged his best exertions in a.
mother quarter-such as making additional allow
ances &c. &c. But as the Editor knows nothing
ofthe Postmaster Generals business he will leave
nm With those, whom it seems he intended to leave
~ ignorant ofhimself and the Government as the .
Editor. !
~ appears that as the time for Our election gets
closer, our candidates become the keener. On the
9th we had from go to 25 candidates. great and
small; And seven Or eight speeches, and were we y
to say they were all good ones, is more than we
could venture, for we only heard those of the lecs
1tve asprents. and they were pretty well mix '
e. On the banking question, it appeared that u
hey have all at last, agreed pretty well, except o
me; which was the last getleman who spoke, he p
mud been standing against the stump all the time q

na strain of high pressure eloquence, s.
ulted we suppose, to the desperation of his case,
