Stirring Hhie to be unkiGd but help the Repub.
Leans to gain victory" do not tecoec to have seen
sacIl an Invocation your part, but simply adverting
to SIR Wood as The Representative OF Republican Anne
liza knowing the fact lha. if Mr.. Wood should for
Wig Senator, lie would msrepresent large majority
OF his constituents.
Do no. the Editors Of The Wing know the fact, that
Amelia is IS thorough going Republican county as any

known voice Of his constituents Tie has publicly avowed
his political sentiments upon al! tie leading topics CT the

confidence in his political virtue AID honesty, to believe
