PoliticS.-Thank God, after Tuesday next
the reading public will think of something
besides politics. No one was ever more tired
than ourself of the eternal din and clatter
upon the subject which we have been forced
to keep up in the columns of our usually good

the public's desire to be kept posted with ref
erence to all the points political Of the hour
politics having been, for a few months past,
the subject matter engrossing nearly all the
attention Of all the newspaper readers in this
region. We long to throw aside politics fol
the weather, the fashions, the follies, or even
che misfortunes of the world, lugubrioul
theme being better for the sake Of s:chsDge'
than the one interminabls ding dong about af.
fairs political. -
