in Peunsyirauia. IL several Districts, a
single enuiiia'e i happily agreed upon
in others, each party presents its choice,
and a fir but moderate discussion Of their
merits i in progress.
Oir own district is perhaps the elsics',
most pleasant and desirable Of any in the

Our two c1uiila:cs in many particulars
resemble each other. Both are ren Of
fine personal arPearauce, Of good moral
character, and have strong fiieuds and as
rc-oIure opponents. Both have been tea
chers Of youth. aud both are mainly the
ar;iG;ers Of their own fortune Both are
natives Of the district, and have r. -2-c.ci
and ilflcnti1l family relations Both are
prominent members Of the same church

money uaiters-and both are lrilioy.
We prefer the election Of MrWoois on
account Of his superior competency and

Ia al ages of the world, Judges who sus
