along the Lake aud it must he obviou, to
every practical and intelligent man, that
IL is highly important in order TO effect
objects so desirable, useful aud valuable to
very large class Of our citizens, our
Representative in Congress must have the
benefit Of experience in congressional life,
10 enable him 10 act successfully and eff
GENTLY in matter of this magnitude.
Judge Larrabee is a working man, and
il is a notorious fact, that he puts forth all
lis energies and abilities. to accomplish
for his constituents, whatever is important
or conducive to their good and that his
lahors have not been in vain ia this direc-

which cannot but be duly Appreciated and
these are faculties at this time peculiarly
demanded Of our representatives in Con
gress for the interests Of the District. The
IIarbors, and the improvement of the
Rivers, are among the most suitable and
appropriate objects that are now demand
log the aid Of Government help, and, we
do not hesitate TO say that Improvements
in this direction. depend largely, for some
years 10 come, at least, upon the re cleo
ton Of Judge Larrabee. He has already
prepared the way for the accomplishment
Of this desirable end, and his re election
will undoubtedly secure an appropriation
for this important purpose.
There are, too, important Post Routes,
which must be urged upon the attention
Of Congress, and we are informed that it
is the intention Of The Hon. Judge to pre-
pare g bill, . during the approaching ses-
sion, AMI press the same upon the House,
for this purpose, and, his experience will

lance in procuring its passage.
The Judge, in his very able address to
his constituents, informs Va, that lie voted
for the following four important and lead
iug measures, and to which, we certainly
cannot object, and doubt, if an intelligent
voter Of this District can be found to diff
fer with US upon this subject:
First,-The admission Of Kansas.
Second, the Homestead Ball.
Third, The Uarbor and River Bill.
Fourth.-The Bills organizing four
new Territories-ro be called . Land Dis
tricts upon principles Of the most liberal
equality.
This presents to our mind clear and
honorable cong es>ional record, of which
the sovereign voters Of the Third Congress
-iona District, can have nothing to com
plain, aud if they DO Justice to their public
servant. must feel that they have been 50

There is another matter, to Is and our
readers, Of perhaps still greater irnpor-
tance, AMI that Is, that Judge Larrabee is

it may be necessary to procure the pa,

State, to appropriate the gran. Of lands"

mortgages aud tbs, Judge Larrabee is
pledged to obtain, if within the range of

masses; and, that everything within his
reach, that be can accomplish for their
good, will be freely and cheerfullv done;
and we 30 not know a man who would
more firmly maintain and support their in-

1t would, in orr opinion, he bad policy
for this district to remove such man as
Judge Larrabee for any untried man, af
