VALEDICTORY.

Farswei to the Bench. and farewell to the Bar,
My seven years service is ended:
And thanks to you both too litte by far,
For kndnesses often extern led
part in z ,od will, wishing peace unto all,
Nor harbor though, a feeling,
That |, (wheresoever my destiny fai.)
Have blush at concea ling.
Hereafter when memory fits DER the scenes,
In this Temple Of Justice enacted:
Each fond rem in.cence will add TO the means,
OF pleasures. sincere and pfotracted
For here have seen in the grapplings Of mind.
Wit, brightly Hume the Arena.
Though sometimes appea,ed under courte7ies kind,
A glimpse OF The w ot and Hysna.
And here seen all the passions OF man.
Developed IN va rious phases;
And truths the Barristef only could scan
Extracted from mysterys mazes.
Oh. 5000 be the day, when immaculate Truth,
Shall superceds Court. Bar. and Clients;
When strife shall give place right, and u,h
And law be no longer a Science.
Writs. Records, and Docke,s, l bid you adicn,
Acquaintanceship l would sever,
Unless GU seek me more than shall seek you,
We've parted trust, and forever.

he did not possess. There is cause for such

RAILROAD TO DAYTON.


The proposition to mako road from this place
TO DAYTON meets with considerable appreciation
from our citizens. Some, however, prefer
king road more direct to Cincinnati, or the COM
plction of the East Fork Canal to Brookville.-
We must, however, look to that point from which
expect assistance. We have tried the
citizens of Cincinnati, for aid to make tho Canal ;
but they, supposing wo wore naturally tributary
to her, and the White Water Valley Canal hem
ming in without any other outlet. would
DO compelled to take our surplus produce to that
city. They refused to subscri stock. They
acted with seIfishness which has, more than
one occasion, shown itself; and we must look to
a point whore a moro liberal and enterprising
spirit is displayed.
So says our neighbor of the Richmond Palladi-
UNI, Indiana. Patience, friend. If we are selfish.

COnzressio nal Election.


Tho last Jefiersonian has very funny article
on the approaching congressional election ID this
district. II seems That the ocofocos have no, We,
determined what course to pursue. The editor
says:-'Some arc for dropping party, dropping
party % think of that, will you. and taking up
John 5. Newman. Esq, and placing him in Con-
gress out Of respect 10 the honesty and ability Of
the man. MAN. not from concurrence in his
political opinions" We think Mr.. Newman will
be found too ''honcst'' and much Of 'man"
to lend himself to tho locofocos for purpose
unworthy the defeat and disorgauiZaton Of
his own party. We do not know that Mr.. Now
man has any ambition to 20 TO Congress; but If
he has. we are satisfied from our knowledge of
the man. that he will mover seek its qualification
save freewiIl offering at the hands Of tho
wing party.
Again-'Some are for having candidate,
and letting tho matter 60 by default"
We hope not; should like above all things
to have just enough opposition Ito mako thing in
teresting."
Again-"Somo for letting Judge Test run
by consent, an Independent, aBddate."
Consent, unanimously. The Judge would
make beautiful "independcnt' candidate.
Agan-'.Some are for convention and regu-
lar nomination of candidate
This, at least, would be open and manly.
Lastly-s'It seems to US, at any rate, that a
man should be sent, who would sustain, and not
attempt to tear down the administration, which
is now but just placed in power. 1t to
that sensible people of all parties must concur in
this. Why send a man to embarrass and throw
obstacles in the way of the Government. which
the people have chosen"
Sure enough. Well, now como to think Of
it. wonder if Mr.. Perkins, merely for the sake Of
reconciing all parties, and having the Govern
ment. Polk.) supported" wouldn't consent to be
..scn,' to Congressl
But, seriously, what stuff and CANNON is this
to preach to an intelligent and enIig bienod COM
munity; that because perlurod and corrupt ma
jority have plac ed James K. Polk in the Pfesi-
dency that, therefore. the minority should throw
down their arms, surrender up :heir long cher
isbed principles, enter into the support of the
meas ures and policy of the administration, and
elect men to Congress who viii become the supple
tools of the Executive! Away with the thought
If Wing principles were ever worth contending
for, they are doubly so now; and we trust that

burns with an undinrned lustre.-"Never give
