frauds although their fellow citizens, without re-
sheet of party look them to do so. The fact is,
| we expect nothing of this Grand Jury-nothing
until there is a change of Sherihs; for like the last
| Grand Jury il is curiously situated. The actual
leader of the last was Caleb nj. Litte defeated
whig candidate for county ofiice the leader OF the
present is Revo c. Hance, also defeated candidate
for county office; MIR. Hance is also candidate for
the Office of Postmaster in this city. lie is in a
curious position aud is considered to be connected
with that clique which endeavors TO monopolise all
the Offices and TO control the appointing power
The ewes of the whole community are on him, and
expect from him a full and searching investigation
into the whole frauds; no matter whether men with
whom he has been politically associated, or connect
ed with on committees, Should or should not be
implicated thereby.
We shall assist tho Grand Jury little by laying
before them the testimony of cArdle before the last
Grand Jury; and ask them to mark the discrepan-
ces between it and his original affidavit before the
Recorder.
