THIRD DISTRICT,

oENTON, JUNG lOCls
Mr.. Editor: The candidates for Congress
addressed the citizens Of Polk today. Col.
Churchwell opened tho canvass. and being
stranger in our county, he was listened to
with attention. He is young man of re,
spectacle talents, Irie a fluent speaker,
somewhat an'ic in his gestures, tells an
anecdo'e very we'll, makes bold charges ond
unwnrrnn'ed assertions, and considering the
material he has to work upon, he makes a
very good democratic speech. The Gnl,
phn claim" and Col. Anderson's smiles &c"
seem to be his principal hobbies.
Col. Anderson answered all the charges
to the entire satisfaction Of his friends. and
to the modification Of his opponents. at

guage of Maj, Jack Downing, were "enc
most tickIed to death" during Col. Church.

tha, he has no, the most distant idea Of be

acquaintance. and have some "iun and

District, and pcrchance no may console
