have now clearly forced upon the Ma
tional Democracy Of this Senatorial and
Judicial District. that the contracted Ii

In selecting this place, no little foresight
was cvinced. Here was sufficient space
to admit Of the frcest expansion, and yet

adoption of these lugubrious scintilla-
tons. This polite request was ever sure
