This is most singular disposition for a

Our county representative, Mr.. Denniston, has

the upper counties in the election of representa-
tives 70 add "Will he go ?' to the questions, " Is
he honest is be capableg This disposition on the
part of representatives to resign at the last mo-
ment is not commendable, and not resigning at
all, and yet staying away, Is contemplate. It's
of vast importance that the upper country should
have full representation in the legislature this
winter. If it should prove that the boasts of GER
tain monopoles and capital interests are carried
into effect by the means inlimated by them. the
men who have, or shall, so debase themselves as
to accept of their overlures should have mark
set upon them backer than that which disgraced
the face Of Cain, and be dOgged from the country.
