we we're mistaken. We had inquired about
Mr.. Spalding, and were told by two per-
sons he was foreign born. 1t seems we
were misinformed, so there are really two ma
tive born on the ticket. We hope Mr.. 8.
does not think with the Enquirer we have at
tempted to injure him by calling him foreign
born. The Enquirer seems to think it a
cruel injury to any man to say he was not
born in this country, yet devotes itself to
counting up these very men! But here is
some of our neighbours amiabiity:

uttered to injure men who are opposed 10 the

trust our neighbor will get in good humor.
1t is positively disagreeable to society to

He must be very miserable. Why, bless us,
we would not allow ourself to be so worried

and tuning and frothing and izzIing about
something or other he can't help, and max
