TO THE PUBLIC.
Hail honored ages Of grand progression,
While each one clings to his profession,
And science moves with onward motion,
To suit each hayward thought and notion,
Bringing to light, some new invention,
More strange than modern wit can mention,
Or genius paint with true endeavor,
Though making graphic strides forever,
While reason urges proud ambition,
TO strive for wondrous competition;
Yet in this age of glorious Art,
We. can the need of praise impart,
When meritorious efforts claim
A modest puff to gild the name,
And thus we call with honest pride,
Attention to the Painters Side,
Two men who bravely know their calling,
Whose works are worthy of extolling,
Two model artists of the day,
And most obliging in their way,
Moreland & Jakeman-mark the name,
In Roanoke street you'll find the same,
Call at their shop number one,
You'll get the best of Painting done,
And whether Foe, Friend, or neighbor,
They'll charge but moderate for their labor,
So now | invite each one and all,
So walk around, and give them call.

Again the Gazette is out in opposi-
ton 10 the plan Of "a convention Of law
ycrs, 70 select some suitable man as can
didxtc for District Judge. Our cotcm-
porsry seems determined TO make the
election Of n Judge one Of partizan war
fare. We desire to avoid this, because
in such cases the poorest men are often
selected "A candidates, and no qualifi
cation looked after, except those Of
political character.
The Gazette says that it wants con
vention Of the people to nominate a
candidate for Judge. We do not I'M
derstand why our neighbor is so siren
nous upon this point. We do not ask
that the Bar Convention shall select a
Democrat, but competent man. For
instance, il the Bar Convention should
select John +. Dillon, Esq, or Senator
jenkins, of Jackson county, we would
accept the nomination and give either
Of them our hearty support, but not if
he is nominated on partizan grounds.
We should then feel bound to oppose
him in every way that honorable oppo-
alton can be made. But the Gazette
is afraid Of this. 1t wants its protcge.
Jim Thorington, to get the nom'na-
ton. He IL unfit for Judge or Justice
Of the Peace, and there are te~ Repnb-
lican lawyers fit for the office Of Judge.
We avow it most decidedly, that the
Republican party is lacking in the
number of fit men for candidates. And
We know that a Republican: convention
will think less Of competency, than OF
some other considerations that ought
not to weigh feather in the SCALE
Will the Go-ette put the name of Mr..
Dillon, or Mr.. Jenkins, at the head of
its columns as an Independent candi-
date Ifso, we will initiate its exam
pie, and thus have no party nomina-
tions. But if the Republican party
does nominate . candidate, the Demo-
cratic party will do the same, and we
shall have no fears Of the result. We
arc certain that majority Of the peo-
pie Of this District will utterly ignore
politics in sMch q contest, and give
their vote to the most competent man.
Tho Democratic party has large num-
Der Of eminent lawyers that would add
lastre to tho judicial tribunal. We
k~ow that there 10 but one opinion
among the lawyers Of this county up
on this subject, and that Is favorable
TO our proposition, for they feel the an
noyance, delays, costs. and bad effects
Of having an incompetent Judge
Suitors feel the same, and every man
may become sutton during the term
Of office Of the Judge TO be elected. II
the office had the rcmotest bearing up.
on politics We should deem the posi-
ton Of the Gazette a just one. But p
political Judge is q judicial curse, as
