The Winchester Republican, alluding to the nomination
Of MIR. Baxter by the Wing Convention: says:

which opponents practice prescription could avail any

Yet this gentleman, who escaped prescription at the
hands Of the Democracy, very nearly being 'proscr

ballot showed decided majority against Nj Baxter and il
was only the ID ballot that he received very small ma
