lying there, and in many places in pure

Ouk "RoLANp' FOR Your "OLlvER"

Our local cotemporary is very reticent re-
specling the Eastern election news. Tho on
ly item which he considers interesting enough
to the "uuterrfed" to give place in the
Herald, is the one announcing the election of
a couple Of negroes to the Massachusetts Leg.
islature, Mitchell, the gentleman elected
from Boston, is printer by profession, a fine
scholar, and is not relative of the editor Of
tho Herald, as might be inferred from his
name.-Stars and Stripes, Nov. l4th.
The editor Of the Stripes tells the truth,
when he says, the negro elected to the Mas
sachusetts Legislature is not a relative of ours.
We have no negro relatives, no such blood
in our veins, neither has our defendants, nor
had our ancestors. We cannot say as much
for the editor Of the Stripes, never having
been permitted to examine his genealogical
record
