and most desirable accommodation for a
large number OF students, both male and
female.

rG.The Lewistown Democrat corrccts
its statement COPIED by US last week, }
that JAMES X. KELLY, E>q. had been
elected to Congress from Oregon. There
were TWO Democratic tickets, ard the
Democrat says Mr.. Kelly was "on the
wrong one" and was dctcatcd. We IN
dcrstand it was the Antl-Slayery portion
of the Democracy that supported Mr..
Kelly, and the Buchanan or Pro Sla-
very Dcmocracy-with the patronage
at their disposal-succeeded. So the de-
sccndants of Col. JOHN KELLY, Of the
Revolutionary struggle, are not to be in-
cluded among the "rcyalar Democracy
because they will not 60 in for Slavery,
They are to be turned off, with Doug glas
and the Republicans, and prescribed as
tsthc wrong Sort of Democrats.
