he will be able to accomplish moro for the
interest of the people of this State, in
Congress. should he he be elected, we
honestly believe. We believe it first, be.

On the other hand the principles ndyo-
Gated by Col Newton are favorable To
Internal Improvements, by the General
government, and should the people eject

To the Polls then, and as freeman hay.
ing vital interest at stake, cast your
votes, for that man, who as your public
servant, can promote your iut rests. with.
out violating a principle Of his party.
These things have their weight, and
the people would do well, to select a
man whose principles, are identical with
tharc own, no, in name only, hut in reality.

"what candidate ought TO do!' Hale
mildly replied, "wuy, STAND rr AND PACE
