in terms Of unstnted apprehension of his VetJes,

MR.. BOVINE. OF OIL SEGO.

The N. Y Express assails MIR. BOVINE, the Demo-
cratic member OF Congress from the Otsego district,
with n,idious acrimony and pronounces the
nomination Of another in that district for the next
Congress, as a Reputation Of Tyler member OF
Congress" Ii charges that " he sold himself 10 MIR
T., and that those who owned him before, have now
cast him off,"
The impuiation is grossly unjust. Mr.. B. enjoys
the confidence of his Democratic friends IN the DIS
trict No one imagnes that he has sold himself''
to Mr.. Tyler any one else. He was not nomi-
mated because under system of rotation another
republican was presented. The same cause deprives
us OF the services of sixteen members, (ncluding
Mr. b. of the present Congress. OF the entire de-
legation only three Democrats Of the present House
are put IN nomination. The " reputation" there
ore, as applied to single member, unjust and in
gldlous and so far from proving any thing against
sr. BOVINE, serves only TO exhibit the malgnily or
asperity Of his Wing assailant.
