These are reac and important duties de-
volving upon the Clerk Of the District Court,
and for the discharge Of which said officer
is to receive salary. Hence. when Col.
BsBEtrr said the salary Of the Clerk Of the
| District Court was abolished, he "ied
knowingly and wilfully," for he never does
any thing ignorantly-oh no of course not,
for amt he knowing chap.
| For the faithful discharge Of those duties,
We believe Ed. BURpIcK to be qualified and
| competent. We have not word to lisp in
disparagement Of Ed. lie is a young man
Of sterling integrity, and his course as Dep
uty has ever been marked by the mos. devo-
ted attention to bis duties. We cannot vote
for him, because
lss-We prefer man Of larger expert
ence in the management Of public affairs
for the duties Of this officer, as We have
shown above, have been vastly increased in
importance, and multiplied in number. And
I'd We are teetotally opposed to aiding
or abe'ting in continuing the present Clerk
in of6cia! station, Of any kind whatever.
For these reasons we shall vote for Mr..
ErBAsk, lei. others do As they may.
