Sedgwick, know these assertions are made without shadow of foundation but even they true, most assuredly he stands far more elevated in regard to "RSth,' and cer- tainIy to hoROr" than those dem0cT0s who claim t0 have been duped by the man who bought their votes.
 We have been informed, perhaps correctly, that these resolutions were passed by the large number of Four--the Chairman and Secretary voting. What particular object this vast assemblage of Pa'y"e". alias LOcofoeOs had in view by adopting those TesO- lutions is better known to themselves than to the constituents of our excellent Sheriff Aud, to palm of resolutions bearing the spirit which thOaeeontan; still more, as embodying the general wish of te PeO- pie of this county and desiring his removal is equal ly as distant from truth and hOaOr" most of the assertions contained in the resolutions them selves-and were new trial for Sheriff totake plaee next week, MT.

With a solitary exeep- tion, all had been exemplary in moral character, and l a large proportion were pious men. Those whose efforts had been crowned with the greatest success in their occupations had experienced in the diseases and deaths which had happened in their families. and from other distressing occurrences, their full share of diversity. The retrospect of half centu ry displayed striking contrast to the atterng hopes which cheered their prospects, when entering upon the active theatre of life. Some of this number who met had not each other during the half century which had elapsed since they left the University One of this number, in the pilgrimage ot earthly ! existence of sixty-ssven years had experienced bus the solitary sickRess of Usek. and that in the du ration of this half century No class that graduated at Yale has surpassed thsin constant, affection ate, and harmonious intercourse.
