Hala over White 1850
Judge HALE left his home in Brad
ford county, for Miffiin, when young
his manhood has developed traits Of
character which give him a personal
popularity resulting in more than q
party vote, Notwithstanding unfair
assaults upon him on account of his
firm Temperance principles. H,rry
county in the District, except Cherry
ruled Sullivan, gives him a majority.
Men like Judge Hale will give digni-
ty to Congress. On Alison Whites
political tombstone may be written
Died of Lecomptonism :"

Junkin over Fisher 46
This District was doggedly contcs-
ted from first to last. A brother Of
Mr.Ahl, the present Lecompton Mem
Der, having had q big Mule contract
in the Mormon war, the party dared
not re-nominate him, and after some
hundreds Of ballots took up a fresh
man from York county. Mr.. JUNKIN
of Perry county is also a new man in
the political arena a graduate Of
Dickinson, educated for the law, still
young, and talented, his personal pop
ularity at home decided the close con-
test, and opens a bright prospect
before him. Originally a Democrat,
in 1856 he took the Republican side.

M'Pherson over Reilly 267
This was perhaps the 'best fought
field in the State. 1t is Buchanan's
native district, and gave him 600 mi.
in 1856, gave Packer a good mi. last
year. and Porter about 100 this year.
The District borders about 130 miles
on the Maryland line, and is now
represented by Mr.. Reilly, popular,
smooth and fluent Lecompton lawyer.
Mr.. M'PHERsoN, of Adams, is a we'll
educated and accomplished editor of
ten years hard application, and well
vcrsed in political science, bnt hardly
deemed far match for Reilly. NJ
PhersOn, however, went to work with
will, spoke some nights twice from
the stump at places 5 or 6 miles sepa-
rated, made the personal acquaintance
of thousands, and reached others by
the press. He has 267 maj. and we
think will prove an industrious and
useful Member. 1t was the Franklin
District, we believe, which in 1920
terminated the public career of their
Member who voted to let Slavery into
Missouri : put Reilly by his side, and
let a black flag, with the inscription,
"H'c .jucet Traitors to Liberty" answer
for both.

Mr.. BLAIR is legal gentleman of
much weight of character, and takes
the place of Mr.. EDIE Of the same
political principles.
