The foregoing was called forth by a base and
Unworthy attack on David U. BrOderick, one OF
the candidates for United States Senator. In the

are pure ard slrtuous He is man of great natu-

coming ses ion of the Legislature, and it is this
taiLty OF his SUCCESS that provokes the bitter and
uDioan|y assaults on his reputation. The multitude
OF caroicates that arc on hand. 70 be brought for

astonishing. The partisaus Of each aspirsnt are
confident, ard labor INCREASINGLY to forward their
interests. 1t is the question that swallows up all
others with politicians; Gad as the contest is
its Termination, there is no lack OF men ready TO

reach the ascendant. As 1t is nov, Frederick IL
