The CrrY PREss.-The first stickful and a
half of the G1zete's editorial space is taken
up with the announcement of JOHN W FoR-
xEY's election to the Clerksbip OF the HOu-e
of Representatives. ..His election, j" says our
contemporary, with all the discrimination of

old Buck thousand aud one times, and has
eater more OF hi- salt than all the works OF

When old Buck auction, off his worm-eaten

man says h ought to be willing, and even
anxious, to swear to. But FoRNEr's hatred
il no one-sided affair. II is reciprOcatcd with
all the warmth Of heart which knows better
how to hate than love. He and old Buck are

The Union calls the attention of the BgHner to
certain anti execuiion-of-tht-Fugitiv, Slave
