were fearful that the peach and other fruit trees,

DJWE WERE pleased to find the following
the 5rh inst, recommending our old friend and
neighbor, LEWIS DEwART, Esq, for the office
of Canal Commissioner. The writer speaks IN
high terms of Mr.. Dewarts practical talent, IN
tegrity of character and business qualifications
We have always believed that II the Board had
always been constituted otjust such men as Lew
is Dcwart, entirely different results would have
been produced in our public works Those who
know Mr., DewaIt will, without distraction of
party, accord to him all that is said in his behalf
by the writer
"GENTLEMRS An old friend and admrer OF
LEWIS DEWART, OF Norlhumpersnd coun'
", desires the favor of presenting his name
through your paper, for the lmpoitant Office OF
Canal Commissioner of Pennsylvania. Few
mel in the State have more practical talent
than Mr.. Dewart-a gentleman of great integ-
| rity of personal character, with business quail
fcations of the first grade--this with long ex.
| perience in public llie renders Mr.. Dewart de.
| s,rabe candidate for Canal Commissioner with
the whole people, and especially with the De-
mocracy ofthe State.
The republican party of Pennsylvania know
Lewis Dewart; firmly he has stood by then
under al circumstances, through good and evl
report I've hope, therefore, that the democra
cy of Pennsylvania will not pass by the clam
OF man whose experience, service and perso
| nal Dopularlty would secure his triumphant e
lection, and thereby place in the responsible
Stallion of Canal Commissioner, a gentleman
who would do credit to the State

avenue south side formerly occupied by J. Berk-
ley, where he invites his old customers, and as
many new ones as may be pleased to try his skill in
the art Of dying silk, woollen and cotton goods, and
cloth dressing. The preference which has been
given him by large portion of the citizens of
Washington, in carrying their work to Georgetown,
has induced him. for the convenience ofthe public, and
with view to enlarge his business and by an exhi-
btion of superior work to extend his reputation to
take stand in the metropolis, where he is prepared
to receive and execute all manner of ladies' and gen
tlemen's apparel in superior stile. Shawls OF

himself to the public, he has long been known
and extensively patronzed from every part of the
country He has lately built and fitted up an extern
sve and complete dye-house, and is prepared to do
all kinds of work with despatch, and in style not
to be surpassed in this country. He especially calls
the attention Of gentlemen to the superior manner in
which coats and pants, and gentemen's apparel
generally, are DONE The shape and set of the coat
are not in the slightest degree nured and the color
is warranted to stand and not in the least to rub.
All kinds of work will be thankfully received, and
done on moderate terms.
N. B.-The present is the best season for cleans
ing and diving curtans and he would call the atten-
ton of boarding house keepers avernkeepers, and
others having curtains to cleanse color, to the
present, as q more propitious time than the fall.
The work can be done better in good weather; and
there is less hurry in summer. May 6-dlm'
