sR-We are informed that few days since
distinguished jurist OF this city, man of
democratic antecedents, was speaking of Gen.
Buffers recent speech in New York, and said
that, like everything from Butler, it was clear

to carry out the scheme referred to, but it is
undeniable that special friend of the West
brook gentleman said before election, that Mr..
Kimball was pledged, if elected, to do all in
his power to carry out Mr.. Smiths water pro-
ject.
