the more that he did it quite at the expense oil ms
consistency and his logic. For. after stating
nlumply tina, he considered us the best OF the
whole Press-ga he had been fighting with, he
vet went on to argue that all we had done and at

fellow, and every other arguing that we had done
nothing but 10 inuro him wantonly and malicious

that injury! (What set the rest of Us must be ,
And here is where he hit US hard for the hrst
time. He mad talked over an hour without gain

When his compliment was put in, we supposed ne

nlapation of the matter and our intentions to do
him Justice, and would now throw up the case.
Rur instead of this he took shear the other way,
and came down upon US with the assertion that
our publishing his statement OF the onda business

original oaence-was in effect adding insult TO in

Nsssys. Ebitors-On Saturday evenl
ing the 10Th inst. Mr.. Ryan, the demo-
cratic candidate for senate from this dis
trict, addressed the citizens of this place.
There was n very large attendance, and
the democratic party had reason TO be
proud Of their candidate. Mr.. Ryan gave
the people a clear, lucid, and able state
ment OF state policy he pointed out, in
a most convincing manner, the great inn
portanee Of the canal he made a most
full and able investigation into the laws Of
trade, aud clearly showed the fallacy of
the banking system he reviewed the his
tory OF the parties and exposed the in
trigues and corrup,ions of the present parA
~ in power, and showed how basely they
had betrayed the interests Of the people
and how entirely they had failed in all
their promises of relief and better times
and he exposed the manpuvres Of the po-
litical iugglers in this district, and proved
most conclusiyely that the 'union ticket
originated with few disappointed Office
seekers, and not, as its friends pretend,
with the great body of the people.
When Mr. Ryan had concluded his re-
marks, Mr.. Mason, the union candidate,
was called for. He came forward and
told the people that he was the union can
didalc and was debarred from discussing
the party questions, as he was pledged
not to agilaIe these questions. He spoke
a few moments about local matters and
then resumed his real mark to the mortl-
llcaiion Of his political friends and the
IHionisis. The people present were full
~ convinced that the intention oliihe union
party was 10 conceal their real views, and
were forced 10 acknowledge it when call.
ed upon. Many honest wings admitted
that they were greatly disappointed in Mr..
!. Mason, that he had been greatly overrat-
ed, and many questioned his integrity be-
cause he would not give his views and
real opinions.
Many Of the former opponents Of Mr..
Ryan acknowledged that he had been
greatly belled, that they believed that he
: was just the man The people wanted at the
present crisis, and that they should now
cheeriully support him.
We wish that all the voters in the dis
trict had been presen, - have witnessed
,, the plain and honest full Statement, Of his
views. WV, P. Bcyp,

and sufficient reasons. Our new Jail was

the old Jail was such as to render il UNI
safe to confine any more prisoners IN u

ciples Of Justice the expense Of guarding

to any portion of Mr.. Woodruii's letter
