TO the Voters of Hartford.

to assist in the election of one of our citizens who
has proved himself faithful and efficient officer,
withdrew my name from the list of candidates
for the Sherifalty, with the intention of again
presenting it at the proper time. AS party lines
have become for the present obliterated, and it
is not probable that party nomination will be
made for. the office of SHEPIFF, offer myself as
candidate for that position, and can assure my
fellow citizens that, if elected, will endeavor to
the best of my ability to discharge the duties of
the office with humanity and impartiality.

Reasonable Col0rS

The late onslaught of the valiant Dodge
police, of Baltimore, on ladies' ribbons,
boys cravats and children's socks, reminds
us of the following anecdote of the Irish
patriot, Lord Edward Fitzgerald:
"About the year '9S, when party spirit
ran high in ireland, Lord Edward Fitz-
gerald and his friend Arthur O'Connor,
who was on visit at his house, went over
one day to the Curragb. Lord Edward
wore a cravat of the national color, green,
and in the evening, when the two friends
were leaving the ground, party of British
officers galloped after them, and suddenly
wheeling round stopped them, one of the
officers demanding that Lord Edward
should take off his cravat. Lord Edward
regarded them an instant in silence, and
then in calm tone, replied: "Your uni
form would bespeak you gentlemen, but
such proceedings prove the contrary. As
to the obnoxious cravat, let any one among
you who dare, come forward and take it
off," The officers looked at each other in
embarrassed silence, when Arthur O'Con-
nor told them if any two of them had any,
thing further to say to his friend and HIM
self they would await message from
them the next day. The next day brought
no message from the officers, and Moore,
in his life Of Lord Edward, says L" their
conduct received its proper verdict from
the ladies, who, at the race ball a few days
after, unanimously refused to accept any
of that party as partners in the dance"
