VIM. Cameron Esq. has incurred the supreme
displeasurc of the conductors of the Milton Ledger,
and they have consequently opened upon him their
iloodgatcs OF irony and sarcasm. They hsvc cal.
led him Bill Cameron, and proved most concl usivcy
that no man with the name of BW. could represent
this county in the iih of March Convention. We
say therefore Mr.. Cameron a doomed man. The
Ledger has snnihlla,ed him with a blow Mr.
Cameron should apply - the Legislature 10 have
his name changed forthwith. BIZ Camcon Only
