that he continued to walk down three flights of

feeling warns up and will probably, by my
next, begin to wear an interesting aspect
.'Ehings is working and think that to-nor
rows Issue Of the Hes1I will have some cf-
feet towards nscertaining mora definitely as to
how the land lies on the Senatorial question.
We have before as Just now, three candidates
for the office of Delegate, and one for the State
Senate, (Of him in my next First comes Mir.

pie of Brooke to spoil good miller by promo

MILL" Shall we send him2 my verify.
Next In order appears Mr.. Browning honest
aud upright as a man, but politically unfortu-
nate. Regularly for twenty odd years has his
honOred name been announced in our paper as
u candidate for the house Of Delegates, rs often
would the public face smile all over; whereup-
on, Mr. b., IN high dudgeon Would Withdraw
from the contest to renew the charge in the
next campaign. think him most estimable
man, and barring his penchant for office, is re-
ally comDauionable in his own way. He has
but having the real Democratic gritlu his com!
! position, he will as per announcement come up
TO the scratch in the coming triangular fight
! II he can be elected, shall be very well salts
fed. il not am far from believing that the
country will be ruined.
Last, though not least, on the programme
comes the man of many appelatives, "Old Ned, u
"Oid Ned Smith, "Uncle Ned, !" "thc Old Doc
tor, +" doctor Ned Smith" &c, &c. HercuIean
in frame, vigorous in mind; quick, laxative, an

though the evil minded say to help him down
the hill of life. he is the best man for the of
flee in view-fully imbned with the wants OF
the pau Handle" and still active in his temper

dustry, the man for the coming exigency. And
if the "Old Rabbit Catcher" is right on the dis
tribution question. | go in for him-although

deceived his Shanghai" Brethren, and is even
now striving to bear water upon both Shout

Here's to you Doctor, may your shadow ne
yer grow less, and may you succeed in the lnu-
dable operation of being all things to all men,
in order that you may be elected. More anon.
