indeed he does " more legal knowledge, than did the

tiolier has never been filled with more ability and
more TO the satisfaction of all having business relations
therein, either before, during subsequent to the
administration of Washington Hunt, and the most
enthusiastic admirers of Gov. Church may, and will
feel that their most ardent anticipatOns have been
realized if at the close Of his administration he shall
have discharged his duties with much ability,

been universally accorded TO Mr.. Cook.
