NJ. EpIToR:-In The name Of this coRmu.
nity, permit me 10 thank DR.. Parnell for The a.
bic course OF lectures he is now delivering, and
expects 10 deliver during the sitting of the
Court. A first rate way for lawyers and eli.
en,s 10 spend their evenings. The Washing
tonians here had resolved Oh Temperance
meeting or two, bot Ill venture to say the
Doctor has prevented more whiskey from run
ming down mea's throais for the las. two eve.
nings than our society has done for SIX
months. We yield him the fioor--he aliures
men from the haun.s Of dissipation By the be-
witching voice Of wisdom. AS soon may
Court in this Territory dispense with Judge
as with an interesting lecturer to employ the
evenings: Such an appendage to a Court of
Justice is necessary and deserves much re-
muueraiion as prosecuting attorney. Mon.
day evening the Doctors subject was the
"characters of the thirteen Presidential candi-
daies.' The lecturer is "man of,he world
knows every thing. and every body personally.

Woe be TO the Democrats, should he fill the
highes. Office in tee peoples gift He would
guillOtine every Democratic Office holder. and
as these have been sucking the nations vitals
for the las, fifteen years, their decapitaiion
would furnish blood enough 10 cover the hors-
es' brides. As we dread deluge Of Demo-
cratic blood we are no, to vote for Clay.
