MR. LowRig.--An article published in the
Times speaks of our candidate for Prosecu-
ting Attorney Ss not being . voter here. II

Recourse 10 such pitiful fxlsehood shows
desperate cause or very reckless DISPOSE
ton.
FIRE AT DAvgSPoRT.-A ERE broke on. at
Davenport on Monday night last, which con-
sumed two frame houses, the story
brick bakery Of ID. Moore, the frame tavern
Of Mr.. Shields, with frame dwelling in
the rear, stable and shed in the rear, and

THE CoxISc MAS.-When Col. Fremon.
was in California in 1886 with his intrepid
band Of explorers, he with all other Ameri-
cans, was ordered out Of the country BY a
Mexican officer, Gen. Castro, with such
threats ~ led to the belief that m attempt
would be made to exterminste them unless
the order was obeyed. Fremont, nothing
daunted, hastily fortified his little company
and raised the American Gag. eve have in
nowisc," he wrote, ssdone wrong to the peo-
pie or authrity of the country. II we are
hemmed in and assaulted here, we will die,
every man Of US, under the Gag Of our coun.
tryp' This 10 the man whom our opponents
cay with sheer has ssonly shoveied snow on
the Rocky Mountains" Will they point vi

PENNSYLVANIA FOR FREnoxr.-The Pitts
burg Journal says "reccnt manifestations
place the vote Of Pennsylvania beyond .
doubt for Fremont. Last year, when the
Democrats elected Arnold Plumer Canal
Commissioner, 10 Pennsylvania, he was sew
efal thousand votes in minority. The op-
position Was then split up into three parties
this year they are united, and except few
hundred stragglers who vote for Fillmore,
the opposition will poll . solid vote for Free
mont. Although the Americans will adhere
to Johnston rs their candidate for Woe
President, there will be but one electoral
ticket in Penney vana for Fremont. We a.
sert that with entire confidence and that re.
suit assured, it needs no prophet to forsee
the defeat Of Buchanan in PennsylvaniA
We have everything in the prospect 70 ami
mate and encourage rs, and let our efforts
and zeal be equal to the momentous issu.
staked upon the contest"
Tox Mooax's PoLIrIcs.-The subjoinst
lively epigram was published in Dublin, .
the time that the representation OF Limcricl
was offered to Moore:
Whom Limerick in idle within,
Moore ~ her member lately courted,
1.-THE boys" for forms sake, ask d of him
To state what party no supported.
When thus his answer promptly ran,
Nov give the wit his need Of giory,)
elm Of no party - = man,
But, ~ poet, am-a-tOry.
These clever verses have been attributed
to the pen OF the late witty Dominick Rsu.
aync, N. p, for Clonmcl.
