exact suit my taste. / prefer the honest

aspire to public Office, and have not public
spirit enough to take their county paper
! really think gentlemen that it is a mock
cry to mention the name of a man in con-
nexion with public Office, who does not feel
sufficient interest for theIsuccess of his par
y and the credit OF his county, to support
his county press. Such a man betrays q
niggardliness Of soul which in my humble

any man for any Office, not'even for consta.

county paper. For to say nothing Of his
want Of public spirit, 1 should feel sure that
he was not the best informed gentleman in

I hope Messrs. Editors that you will give

the name Of one pre-eminently qualified to

have been strangely overlooked. I sllude
to AYLE1r H. BucKNER, ESQ. Mr. Buckner
is too well known to the citizens Of Pike to
need any psnegyric at my hands. He has
lived among US for the last twelve years,
during which time his integrity and his ca
pacity have been placed by his actions
prominently before the public. His prac-
tical business talent no one in the County
can now doubt. If elected to the Legislature
he would make US a business member. One
who would have the energy and the cspac-
ity for any business that might be brought
before that body. Such men are needed in
our legislature. and ought 10 supply the
place of the idle takers and the many
drones usually elected to our assemblies
whe have no talent for any thing. Buck.
ner and Henderson would be a noble tick.
ct. Both talented, energetic business men,
Of unblemished reputation, they would in
truth do us credit in the Legislature. Their
talents are eminently of the practical, 6u-
siness order-iust such as is now needed
in our assemblies. They are true demo-
Gratis, democrats for the love of principle,
and have the power to defend our princi-
pies on the the stump. or wherever they
may be attacked. Gentlemen the signs Of
the times tell in language not to be mista-
ken, that the coming contest will be a stor-
my one. One tina. will require all the skill
of our ablest captains. But at the same
time I feel sure that if we select such men
as Buckner and Henderson to bear our
standard and thl ow all our strength, all our
souls into the cause, we will march through
to victory. HENRY.
