1.-THE General must say it,S and they accordingly
solved to nominate candidate of their own to run
against Kemble and Haskin.
In the Sth district the Americans determined to
run the Hon. Erstus Brooks Greeley will not agree to
abandon his pet renegade Clark sIhe republicans
says he want union but they object to Eastus Brooks
The said Brooks is naturally neted at being thus insult
ngly showed aside to make way for whose only
merit H. that he has cheated his constituents and
to be determined to run, whether Greeley olIects OF
not.
Some opposition papers trying to make the public
believe that Reynolds the republican nominee in Albany
county Is a democrat of the 'had stripe, and 'Buch
anan man." repeat that this is utterly false. MIR.
Reynolds may have been democrat in times past but
since his letter of last winter denouncing Mr. Buchanan
and audng Mr. Douglas, and his recent acceptance of
black-repubcan nomination against the regular demo-
cratic candidate it is deliberate fasehood to call him
democrat, and hardly think that Mr. Reynolds de-
sres to be called unless like Haskn and Clark he
afraid to say what he is and is willing to be considered
that mythical monster unknown to animated nature-a
black -repubcan-k now. nothing democrat.
The anti Iammany democrats of the Sth district have
unanimously agreed to support Mr. Heriick, the regular
nominee of the party.
