District have INDUCED in such extravagant
esloK Of H. H. Trimble, Esq, their nomi-
- Tor Congress, that they have mortified
his feelings and disgusted his best friends.
These editors have piled up the agony with
New Of. making their readers believe that
Trimble has all the quali6 Of Mar
shall, Webster, and . Clay, combined in
his own person, with abundant abilities over
and above to spare for special emergencies.
Nov 1rimble and his friends know that he
ID very fair county lawyer, and that there
are SCORES in the District who stand precisely
on his level. And the public know that If he
had possessed the remarkable abilities now
30 thickly daubed upon him in the pewspa-
pers, that the world would have heard more
Of him than it has without waiting to consult
the Newspaper editorials elected by his nom-
.1aation 70 Congress.
Knowing Trimble very we'll, We interpose
this word in his behalf, for We would not
havs strangers think that he is such fool as
to approve tho hifalutin eulogiss that have
been psrpetrated over him, or that he re-
eArds himself "smarter than other folks
Nor 80 TBtlcK," AFTER ALL.--Nr. Douglas,
