Messrs. Editors Please allow space in your
columns for a word or two in regard to the
office of High Sherifalty, being assured that
The request made upon your correspondents for
breEity shall be complied with. The author of
this is not connected in any way with, knows
but slightly, and has no particular partially for
the present Sheriff or any of his deputies but is
utterly opposed to the overbearing, exacting, if
not disgusting manner in which the candidates
are Intercepted, and by which nsinuatons are
cast upon the Cat leas) official characters of the
present incumbents. Gard after card has ap-
peared in the county papers, asking the candi-
dates to disclaim all agreements, combinations,
contracts, &c. &C., with, or concerning these
men-each succeeding one being still more ex-
acting-until one was published in your last
issue actually demanding them not Only to deny
the slightest contact with them, but even to de-
n0unce them emphatically, by publishing to the
world that, under no circumstances, will they
employ, or have anything to do with them in
any shape or form. This is, to say the least, 8
silly, childish and unreasonable request to make
upon any sensible men, and insulting to the
present incumbents. Efforts on the part of the
candidates to satisfy the arbitrary minds of these
inquisitive people may determine the course Of
Others along Middle River, and perhaps North
Mountain, and their too explicit answers, OF
even attention to such interrogatories, may be
the cause of their failing to secure on the 4tll
Thursday of May next, the support of
La MANY VOTERS.

brief but comprehensive term for the numerous dlsea
ses which affect the stomach liver, and. in fact the
whole human system. Until DR.. Green discovered
the Oxygenated Bitters medical science was at faui
and had exhausted itself in fruitless efforts to cure
this disease. The Dyspeptic need suffer no Longer
with disease that is always painful and frequentl,
fatal affection.

ly cure the disease as the disease exists Had it no
