desire for tn restoration of civil law and govern

leave, through your paper to propose the name

monwealth's Attorney for this county, and to So
licit him at once to announce himself.
Though his dgnifed reserve, End close appG
cation to is profession, to the exclusion of poll

known to the people, or from thrusting himsnlf
upon them as an office seeker, those who know
him well can point to no one more competent to
fill the office or more deserving of the trust. His
superior talents and legal sAtainments, his quiet
but ener getic business habits and faithful dis
charge of every duty have attained him an emf
men ce in the opinion of the best members of the
Staun ION Bar, and of all with whom he has any
business or social relations that sufficiently at
tests his merits and qualifications.
If such men as heannounce themselves, we will
ensure the willingness of all good citizens to take
'sthe OATH, to make every efo rt to save the Off
ces in the gift of cold Augusta" from the desecra-
tor of the rabble, and to rake up the embers of
