Erie Canal and the st. Lawrence river, while the

Delaware and Otsego also two democratic counties,
form another district Steuben, then democratic
county Of moderate strength, was swamped In
Livingston. The small democratic counties Of
Seneca and Yates were associated with Ontario,
then whig stronghold. In this city the policy pur
sued may be illustrated more clearly. Those homes
of the democracy and " the brogue," the Fourth,
Sixth, Fourteenth and Tenth wards were erected
into one district The then moderately demo-
cratic First and Fifth wards were over
Swallowed by the Second, Third and Eighth
The Eleventh and Seventeenth were attached
to the Fifteenth. The Seventh and Tenth wards
democratic, and they were associated with the
city Of Williamsburg, also democratic. The Ninth,
Sixteenth and Twenty-frst wards formed another
district Thus was the democratic strength so oou-
centrated into two districts that of the six Con-
gressmen to which this city and Brooklyn are en-
titled they could not calculate with certainty on
carrying but those two although on general ticket
they could probably carry the whole.
But the best laid plans often fail, did those Of
the wing Legislature. At the first election under
their apportionment, the democrats owing to the
disafection towards Gen. Scott, carried twenty and
the wings fourteen Of the Congressional districts.
The small democratic counties overshsdowed the
large whig counties, and in this city and Brooklyn
every democratic candidate was elected
The existing state Of confusion among parties
will serve to discourage any at empt at Geryman-
dering" in the Legislature, the Common Council or
the Board of Supervisors. No man can foresee
what day will bring forth-most of all, politically.
If there were any such disposition in the Legisla
ture it cannot develope itself successfully, in
quence of the fact that neither party has majority
in either branch. The districts to be formed of this
city, whether Council, Assembly or Senatorial,
not be 80 Gerymandered" as to afford any guaran'
tee whatever that they will promote any end which
may be in contemplation by those making the divi-
sion. The character Of the population of any dis
trict, and, consequently under the present land
marks, the strength of the respective parties, may
change suddenly, and from such incomprehensible
motives that there can be little satisfaction in labor
ing to establish districts with certain boundaries.
We caution, then, all who have Gerrymandering
inclinations to beware lest they hoist by their
own petard."

During the latter years Of his life, Mr.. H,
has been engaged b0thin mercantile and COM
mission business. He wasa very industrious,
frugal man, possessed fine Judgment, and
was admirably qualified TO succeed, in such
a motley society, as is met with in the west.
No man brought into his occupation stronger
energies, or more resolute determination
and these qualifications carried him through
many trials which would have proved failures
to persons Of less self will and firmnesssti" +" .
To strong business qualifications, II. Hol-
lister added many generous and excellent
qualities as a citizen and neighbor. lfs death
will be severely felt. His funeral. which took
place at Perrysburg onSunday morning, was
attended by avery large number of his friends
and aqusintances, and citizens generally from
the towns on Lower Maumee, especially from
this city. A sermon was preached by Rev.
II, B. Walbridge of this city, on the occssion.
Thus pass away the pioneers Of the valley,
and the places that once knew them, shall
know them no more forever, During three
years, death has made fearful havoc among
this class, as we were admonished while
surveying the monuments and freshly made
graves, in the beautiful Cemetary Of Perrys-
burg. There lie the bodies of Sphinx, Hun

long ago as 1920, and since that time
no man has been better known for his
business operations, and success in life
