ing to tend n him our heartfelt thanks, in behalf
Of the Wings OF Pennsylvania, for the valuable

The extent and character Of his exertiun- can
only be aprrec a,ed by those who have just

of conducting a political campaign at the me
tropoli, bnl to these it is only necessary tp say
that to his zeal and industry the country is in a

tim which was distributed through the canvass,

libors Of the campaign, and AT every >arr flee #
personal convenience and private aifiirs, lie
cnn'lnned To devote himself unrcmttlngly to the
obligations which he had 20 chrerfu.lv assumed
The consciousness of having discharged his
duty faithfully to his country Is the highest re-
ward which the patriot desires. and this Mr..
Smith has every reason to enjoy, for none has
been more faithful, honest, or untiring but
this consciousness does not carry with it the

Smith gave TO the Republican cause in the re-
cent contest. 1t is not our habit To single ont
indiv duals for this sort OF appreciation, but the
services and the cheerful will with which they
have been rendered, in the present instance,
justify the exception. NJ wed by no considera-
tons but those OF patriotism, he embarked with
