he would get very large majority there, presume
Mr. Wiley with his match, from thu fact that there
i3i votes received, and the Colonel got but "A
majority.

good maturity and the contest thought 10 be between
Tansey and Evans-the first Sub Treasury, and the lat
Ter Anti Sub Treasury. We had eight candidates, and
consequently the vote much cut up. Old Monun

large minority; and, il not mistaken in the man. he
will prove an honor 10 his and his party.
Preston will give S,eenrod q majority We will ge
