to see him a candidate to fill the vacancy
oocasioned By the resignation Of Col. Price.
Dr.. Welborn of this county has also been
spoken of for the same office. They are
both gDod men /; and we would be pleased to
see either of them elected 20 the Office in
question, though we hope that al amicabis
understanding may be had between them,

ate. Let either one Of them be the candid
ate Of the Democratic party, & we will give
him a warm and Jealous support. But be-
tween the two we wish the people to decide
uninhuenced by any thing which we may
say; though we viii confess that if W:
were compelled to decide between them
county pride would induce us to cast ON
preference for DR.. Welborn. But as WI
hare not yet heard any thing from DR.. Wei
