succeeded in surrounding himself with

poyters, bent on rule or ruin. Have we not
abundant evidence Of of this, Mr.. Eliphaz :?
In April last. near 3, 800 votes were cast.

not without honor except in his own coun-

what his friends claim for him-an honest,
upright. moral man, man given religiously
to the observance Of his duties as a member
of his community, of suaoify Of manners,
honorable. high gh.toned-would we not ma

to join our armies, to battle for the right;
might we not nationally suppose that in

So far as that expose OF his sentiments
goes, we are with him in sentiment, in
preference TO Julian. His nomination was
very offensive. coupled as il was with an
endorsement Of the Sth of January Demo-
cratic resolutions-appearing as did his

Now Messrs. Palladium editors, we do not

they are honestly ours whether this is the
repast to which you invite your readers or
not, il is the convivisl feast to which we
invite our friends. We are well aware that
as q general rule it is Incumbent on every

then, we are weak minded. Oh EHphax,
