a on The 9th inst, two days, after The
r election, aud have attributed Language
/ to him, not made use Of In the article
! referred TO. We very cheerfully make
! amends for ii, and assure him that il
Was not our intention, to nisrepresenI
him. The inference we drew from the
article, was il seems gtatnitous on our
part ts no such idea was intended to
be conveyed. We were In error to
say that the charge was made direct
by our ovbffere against the City Coun-
ell III reference to The fact that paupers
were taken from The list on Monday

the town pauper list and voted them
for Buchanan on Tuesday Will some
Of the X. N. prints inform us bow many
paupers were stricken from the list on
Monday, the day before The election,
carried to the polls and made to put 10
Fillmore tickets? Let us know. We
trust that We have heard the last Of
foreign paupers. We desire to know
which is the pauper purity nor. Thank
