We shall shortly have the very cold boy" to play
among us. The politicians are beginning to get
their steam up, and already have they began to quar-
rel and fight among themselves The ocofocos
will have dead weight hanging to their skirts in
consequence of the nomination Of the rowdy land
lord of the Van Buren, House in Locust Ward, Jas
H. Hutchinson, as their candidate for Sheriff. Much
better had they chosen the Butcher Boy" Ned
Wartman. The whigs-lucky fellows have made
a fortunate escape by the withdrawal Of Bella Bad
ger, the prince of pipeayers His nomination
would have been certain death to them AS mat
tiers now stand, the wings have the best chance of
electing this important officer, providing they take
up man less "sprited" than hutchinson

raised The locos divided, and defeat appears
inevitable The McCulley party, composed OF the
Lord knows what, are violently assailed by the
PAINTER faction, who have sworn eternal hostility
10 the regular nominated candidate. There will be

wings have selected their candidate for Congress,
E. Jay Morris, an honest, intelligent, and much es-

abused, wronged, and plundered The community
long enough, and the cries of the poor orphan as
cend from the tomb for Justice Where, oh where
are the sacred l6gacies of the lamented tiirard
Where are the intended blessings OF The will? The
Grard Coliege-the Girard College should be the
rallypg cry OF the locofocos, until the whlss-de-
spoilers as they have proved lhemselves-Aa hurled
from power.
Our theatres are now doing pretty fair business
