Ous gallant standard bearer in the Second
Congressional District has about completed
the canvass, and judging from the tons Of
both the dem craft and republican press,
We conclude lhe has made . noble defence Of
democratic principles, and that he has also
been . thorn in the side Of the abolition
party.
TO those Of or readers who have not
hid the pleasure Of seeing and hea ring Mr.
Parker. y. would say that he is not only :
democrat of the true Jetersoniau STAMP.
hut that he has the genius to impress his
ideas upon the minds Of others. He is .
pleasing speaker, . good reasoner, possess
ing many Of these faculties 10 necessary for
legislator 10 have, il order to make his
, talent tclt ard his voice needed. We know
Of no man in the State better calculated 10
represent the Second District than Geo. Ii.
Parker.
His opponent in this canvass is Hiram
Prlce-tamiliarly called lpy his neIghbors
King Hiram. He is = bid, daring. heart
less politician. He is not only tyrannical
and despotic in h 3 asso iations with his
fellow men, but he scruples not to carry his
point. though required to adopt means dis
graceful aud wicked.
Mr. Parker is personally popular with the
masses Of the people. Those who know
him the best esteem him the highest. He
is emphatirally one Of the people, friend
| to labor and an enemy to arist"cracy. In
his election the ps'p,e Of the district would
| find an ne,getic. hard working, indust, ious
Legislator, and into better hands than his
| their interests could not be trusted.
He can be elected. Changes almost with
out number have been made in his favor.
Il his friends, (and they constitute the en-
tire Democratic party Of the district will
only work for him faithfully and zcalo,l>ly,
he can defeat King Hiram. Come, now,
let us make hig effort for Mcclellan, Pen
dlcton anh Parker-Auscatine Courier.

Friday evening for home, their terms Of en-
iistment having expired. Previous to en-

One of them had previously ron up 10 the
commander Of the regiment and. mo.ioning

given Tor it. The commander looked up to
the naked rope and then male motion

ApRcPos Of the American ladies foreign

that "Lubin's Florilinc'' is to be exempted
from their restrictions, for the following 6 "
gent reasons:
because 1t is indispensable to we'll
arranged toilet.
2-Because it is sold At low price.
3-Because it is vastly superior - al 9TH
er toilet preparations; and, finally, because
they fear general uprising in circles Of ele.
gance and fashion, should they attempt to
