his present position he has dis
played skill and Judgment, an d
an energy that has solicited the
admiration Of his fellow citizens.
As a man, he is much beloved,
and even the most ultra Opposl>
ton give him credit for his good
ness Of heart, his honesty and ca~
pacity. Yet, he is Democrat
firm unyeiding in his faith, and
ardentsin his love OF DEM
ocratic measures. But Mr..
PIERpoINT would stigmatize
DR.. KIDwELL as william, or a
blind fool led by corrupt knayes.
Ont npon you Frank, we did
not think there were so much
venom in that huge frame oil
yours. You show more Splte
than disr epic Spaniard.
II may be proper to remark,
that had Mr.. PIERpoINr con-
tented himself by 'replying4.to
Mr.. ARMSTRONG, it would have
been none of our business, and
we should have said nothing;
but as he has uttered sentiments
disIoyal 10 Virginia, and POURED
forth The most unmitigated a
buse upon her people, hence our
remarks Barb. Je:gersonian.

Mr.. Editor: | wish 10 call on
Mr.. S, 2. KEMBLE, of Webster,
to announce himself a Candid
ate for The Office of Justice at
our approaching election. 1t
would be using paper and ink
unnecessarily, and "A needless
waste OF time, TO tell the people
of the Bird District who Mr.. K,
is, or what are his qualifications:
he is, | suppose, too well known
to the voters, to stand in need of
eulogies, from me or any other
voter. Mr.. Kemble's education,
his long and thorough acquain-
ance with correct business ha-
bits, his well-informed mind, the
clearness of his judgment, and
his uprighiness as a man, are
the best arguments which can
be brought in his favor. Many
of his neighbors, am sure, wish
him TO announce himself; and if
he does, ! think he will receive
a general vote throughout the
District. His location is also a
strong argument why he should
be elected. Webster is an inn
portanl point in the District, and
a magistrate is certainly much
needed there. Without insinv
uating aught against any others
who may announce themselves,
! think Mr.. Kemble would make
an excellent officer, and would
reflect dignity on the high and
important office Of Magistrate.
If he declares himself he may
expect the vote Of
PRUNTYTowN.

The shock shook Virgin

eye flashed with Indignation ;
that every Jsnew became like

the mind Of every inhabitant OF

their crimes by casting over

JOHN NJ. Boris gave to the
public his reasonable letter, he
found but few endorsers, good

I Pity alone prevents us from
publishing Mr.. PEIRPoINT's
letter. But We cannot be-
lieve that any nan of sound
principles will endorse ii, and
+ therefore cannot do our people
the injustice TO publish such a
production. The letter evinces
no genius, no originality, no
conceptionof thought; it is bad
in its langs.ge, bad in its style,
: and remarkable for nothing exs

we have inbur midst, sympath>

draw a comparison.
Mr.. PEIPoINT, in this letter
to Mr.. ARMSTRONG, speaking
of the Democratic party, says:
"But, sir, pu belong to party
that lives by the "nigger;;''
swears by the "nigger;;" and
will have nc other interest than

language he applies still more
