Sir: As you may be anxious TO know how
the Congressional candidates stand in Orange
county, avail myself Of this occasion of wri-
tirg TO you.
Lockfart will get about the same support
he received when he ran against Profftt. not
City votes more. The truth is, he was not The
choice oil thepeople, neither has he their conf

can fix it,. MIR. DeBruler is Hoosier Boy.

and has worked his way TO eminence in his
profession by honest industry. BY no single
act of his kfe has his integrity ever been
brought in question-he is emphatically one
of the b'hoys. The reports OF the canvass
are highly lavora BILE TO DeBruler. He never
speaks without eliciting applause from Dem
ocrats-even from Locolocos. The latter are
! Lockhart men. Lockhari can't raise dem
oustration in his favor. He was not turned

Our correspondent, who is a hard working
min as ne says, TALKS DOT about right. Like
| other men who labor hard for small returns and
have To pay heavy taxes ou' OF their earn
ings, he feels indignant that portion o:those
taxes should be to pay Judge Lockhart a sal
AIRY to eIectioneer Tor Office. He is not salts
fled with an office which affords him Il salary
OF $500 a year because as is said it would
not support him-so he holds Oh TO that sal
airy long as possible: AMI asks the good peo-
pie to give him il beIler olIice-one WHICH
commands lis eight dollars day, over a
thousand dollars mileage, penknives, books
stationary, &c. Men who work twice as hard
as he, are generally well pleased TO make
one half The Judges salary-but to support
his grealship, Democracy must gle him
something more than $s00d year, and he now
has The mpudeuce TO ask thenfora seat in
/ Congress- when better men than mseif and
better Democrats. TO whom the party is CIV
ing Ro,hiag, are thrust aside TO make room
cor this nlnn Of all offices. II his Denocrit-
ic friends can thus consent to holster up Lock-
hart at the expense of better Democrats and
give him Just what he asks Tor whee he has
alrcady had the ions share. they prove
themselves mere tools in his hands, an! had
better place themselves under some Europe

can lreemen and slanderng the name. The
only difference is the foreign despot makes
the seri perform service by iron will or power
--Lockhart compels some Of his own party
TO do him service and provide him pnncely
revenue by the iron will OF party allegiance
and by making them believe he is The only
man IN The party deserving of reward.
