&C. We would renew our call upon
those Of our friends in difrren, sections
Of the county, who have kindly aided
us in forming clubs for the campaign,
to send in the names o. those who
wish to subscribe, SO that the paper
may be sen: to them at once, wihou,
any addition to the terms which have
been published. This request is made
for two reasons:-First, we wish 20
know as soon as possible, what num-
Der can be obtained, so that such new
arrangements as may be required may
be made and in the second place,
VIC intend to commence the publication
of valuable speeches and documents,
in defence of the policy pursued by the
present Democratic administration, re-
la,ive TO the origin and consequences of
the war with Mexico, soon.
The Show.-By reference to oar adj
vertising columns, it will be seen tina,

the exhibition, will avail themselves of
the opportunity TO do SO.

US TO state, that we were prevented
from fulfilling our appointment in the
Forest, on Saturday last, by sickness
in our family, and other causes, over
which we could have no control.
e. We have made arrangements to
meet and address the people, at For.
es,ville, on Saturday next.

nish us with copy of the SENTINEL
Of the 10Th Of February last, containing
a review of JUDGE MCLEAN's letter,
by our correspondent FED? We shall
BE- obliged to any one who can, do so.
