The whigsof this Senatorial and Represen-
tative District are now provided with candi-
dates Of whom they have every reason to be
proud and who should command their united
action. Never, in the history of the party
have they presented the people with better
men. Afaiction has done them good, and
they come out of its furnace purified and re
fined. All who have listened to to the speech
cs Of our Standard bearer. feel that no better
man can be found than William Johnston
His distinguished ability is only exceeded BY
his integrity of purpose, and his unostentatious
department must win him troops of friends
OF kindred nature to him are Kelley and
Collins. They are men of sense. as well as
business, and depend upon their own merits
rather than craft, for support. If the whig,
