delivered sermon on the character OF
Daniel Webster, in which he holds up the
character OF Mr.. Webster in a most unfa-

G- BUTTER.-The people OF Milton it
seems are complaining Of the high price of
butter. Butter generally goes up in price,
at this season, but it is now higher here
than it has been for some years. 16 cents
was generally the highest price, but it is
now selling at is cents per pound. The
Democrat censures the merchants for their
rivalry in raising the price of provisions.

THE CONTESTED ELECTION CASE.

On Thursday morning, Judge Jordan
delivered the opinion Of the Court in the
case contesting the election oi John P.
Pursel as Register and Recorder and Clerk
of the Orphans Court. Mr.. PurseI it
will be recollected was elected over MIR.
Martz at last October election by major
ity of 10 votes. The petition, which was
signed by thirty nine voters, alleged cer-
tain Irregularities in the proceedings, and
at number OF the election districts, and
also that large number of the tickets vo-
ted for Mr.. PurSel, were headed "Rpgister
and Recorder" only, the words "Clerk OF
the Orphans Court" having been omitted.
1t appeared also that number of the pc
titioners had signed the petition in blank,
no particular charges having been set out
until afterwards. The Court in their de-
cison, dismissed the petition OF the COM
pla'nant, asking an investigation, on the
ground that the charges contained in the
petition were no! set out on the paper
signed by the contestants, but were after
wards attached TO the same.

which threatened TO rend it in twain, Daniel
Webster closed one of the most soul.s,irrinr

following gloTions sentiments
Hhen my eyes for the last time shall be rais-
ed TO behold the sun in hedren, may they not
gaze upon The broken fragments of dishon-
ored bnt once glorious Union, upon States
discovered, discordani, beligereni upon a

feeble and lingering gaze behold the glorious
ensign OF The Republic, now known and hon
ored throughout the earth, still full high ad.
Vanced--not one stripe erased or polluted,
not one sial obscured, but streaming in all
their original lustre, and bearing for its mot

words of delusion and folly, "Liberiy frs,
and Union afterwards" but every where,
