Dear Sir:-In your paper of August goth, IS The
publication of MIR. WILLIAM McFARLANDs death.
am opposed TO eulogzing the dend; but think tina,

Farland. The writer of this was Intimately acquant-
ed with Mr.. Mcfarland, ever since he became resi-
dent of this county, and shall only state what think
none pouId dare to contradict Mr.. Mcfarland was
native of Ireland, became resident of this county
about twenty years ago. where be 'as lived ever since
engaged in the mercantile busne till abont two years
since when lie gave up that business, and retired TO
his farm He died in possession of handsome estate
WHICH he made by his own frueay and industry
In his business, merchant he was one Of the most
particular and correct men living. Fewer men have
died in this county, whose death was more lamented
than Mr. McFarland's heard The evidence before
the nones, over the body Of Mr.. Mcfarland, and feel
.,;6ed that the attack of his murderer entirely
unproyoked by Mr.. Mcfarland The insertion Of this
in your paper, will confer favor on the friends of the
deceased, and your obedient servant.

The Wings of New Jersey assembled at Trenton, on

expressed the preference OF New Jersey for John Du

unanimous determination of the Convention for Hen :
