town of Ltchfed, on the day of the late election,
took one ct the Loco tickets for the purpose of voting
It. After examining It attentyely for few moments,
he erased the name Of John NJ. Nes-he then hest
tated moment, and erased the second name on the
ticket then another, and another, until the name of
jeremiah Brown alone remained on the ticket. He
then endorsed upon the ticket" The only honest man
6y Cd" and put it in the ballot box.
Hartford Patriot

foco but finds it little more difficult than to find an
"honest man. on the loco foco State ticket The
truth is he is an intelligent citizen, constitutionally
wing, and cannot 30 readily change his principles as
neighbor few doors west. Perhaps the Office of J.
Por Town Clerk would open his eyes to its beauties
