COUNTY JUDGE.-Without saying anything to
the disparagennent of the present County Judge.
We have word or to two offer in favor of J. O
Oxley. Esq, the American candidate for the Of
fee of County Judge. We would not favor the
election of any man for so responsible an Office
whom we did not in every respect consider wor-
thy and well qualified. Without brilliant quail
tiles as a speaker, Mr.. Oxley an able Attorney
of Columbia, is eminently gifted in those quail
ties which constitute the able and efficient
Judge. Possessing unquestionable legal attain
ments, honesty Of purpose, unsTerving integ-
rity and frmness, associated with correct
and sound judgment are the characteristics
which entitle him as o candidate to TIE favora
BILE consideration of the people of Tnolnmne
county. Let It be remembered that the Office
OF County Judge imposes sacred trust, and
requires our best men to Oil it properly.

Our Town.

It must be gratifying to our Columbia Citi-
Gems, to witness the growing prosperity of
their town During the past summer, many
very superior Fire-proof buildings have been
erected in its various localities, and we are
creditably informed that many others are under
contract to be commenced as early in the
Spring as the weather will admit. Among
these, will be the splendid three-story brick,
to be erected by our enterprisng townsman
P G. Furguson. It's location will be where
his Saloon and Hotel now stands. In short,
by another season Columbia will have thrown
of its country appearance, and will exhibit its
self to the admirng gaze of the traveller, as q
beautiful and fourishing city Of four years
gro,Usn
Under the able superintepdance Of our Town
Trustees, we are pleased to say, that our prin-
cipal Streets go long an eye-sore to good taste,
will be finished of with an excellent and cred
liable gravel grade Already the work is rap
idly progressing on Main street; 60 much go
indeed, that by another week, this street Will
have changed and decidedly improved the ap-
pearance Of the entire central portion Of our
town. Thus far the Incorporation of Cclum-
bia has proven blessing-a fac. which we
presume the opposition are ready to acknowl-
edge. With good men at the helm, favorable
results must necessarily follow.

EXTRAORDINARY CANDoR.-The Courier des
etats Union, the French organ at New York, in
an article on the Presidential candidates, makes
the following complimentary remarks touching
Mr. Fillmore:
We have already expressed our opinion and
personal preferences for Mr. Fillmore. Not
wthstanding our profound antpathy for the
party of which he is the standard bearer, we
are more than ever convinced that he is the
man whom the people of the United States
should. by reclamation, call to the Presidential
chair. He is the only one on whom any reli-
ance can be placed for firm, moderate, and
what the country most needs-a tranquilizing ad
ministration. He is the only one about whose
political creed there can be no doubt, or suspi
cious ambiguity, as it rests not on vague or II
lusory formulas, but on a practical past. Th'
fact also that he cannot be reelected after +
full term, is another argument in his favor. over
his rivals: he will be exempt from the ambi
tious temptations and suggestions, which were
the cause of General Pierce's policy, and
which will sway the minds Of his competitors"

BOX. R. B. LAaos:-It is with no common
degree Of pleasure that We hear Of the re-nom-
nation of Hon. R. 3. Lanon of Maripcsa
County, for the Assembly. Mr.. Lamon was
elected in that county on the American ticket
last year bya large majority and from the
able manner in which he discharged his duties
il the House last winter we cannot but believe
that be will again be sent to occupy the posi-
ton. which be is so we'll calculated to honor.
Mr. Lemon is man who will honor the Coun-
ty whom he rpresents. let him be sent there re-
gardless of party. We had the pleasure of oc-
cupying seat with him last winter as one of
the Representatives Of another county. and
consequently had every opportunity to form
correct estimate of his character and ability.
We have seen him under trying circumstances
and lnoo him to be man in every respect
above reproach-concientiou almost to fault,
and solcituous for the good of his constitu-
ency. Mr. Lamon is eminently we'll calculated
to honor any position of trust in which his
County may see proper to place him.

that the Merchants Of Columbia seem we'll salts

THE ELEcrIoN.-The Washington correspon.
dent Of the New York Commercial A9ratisa
writes as follows:
1.-The Presidential contest begins to develope
its points of political issues, and the ground
which is debatable upon those issues. Each OF
the three parties seem to be inspired with strong
hopes. But. at present, it cannot be doubted
that the election is likely to fail before the peo
pie, and go to the House, where neither Mr.. Blu
chanan nor Col. Fremont can possibly be cho-
sen."
