1t : o'clock. Ladies invi

pride of location, have settled the ques- l ton on the broad ground of public good I would like to see Salisbury man in Con gress, provided could, after mature re- 1 Aection, give him any support. To divest myself of all personal feeling, so that might net conscientiously, have put tue questions to myself, and as do not wish to light my candle and put it m der bushel, but set it upon the house-top that all rpay see, I send it to you for publi- cation. Should it cause my voter in our district to pause and reflect before voting, I feel sure such voter would thank me and go the same ticket with me. ..~' ..
 Is a.man qualified to hold . seat in Con gress, who cannot correctly commit q mo- tion to writing in town meeting?
 Does Candidate for Congress wish to elevate the standard of intelligence, while he is opposed to public discussion?
 Does such man think he can run over the track witbout head light, and at tho same time have proper regard fer the safe ty of the public? .<'' t''/
 Does believer in the power. of the AL mighty Dollar, over truth, justice and equity, strive to elevate the moral standard of man? ".
 Does the glitter of the tempter's gold, de- stroy his sins of commission? s.lGD

 Would the election of William H. Bar mum to Congress be of any benefit to the Nation, State, District, Town. or to him. self?
 Should he.ba elected, could any gentle man of the 4th Congressional district point .--.---...,--r-.a-5. ~s<sa say, mere IS our representative man?"
 If such there be. when questioned as to the man and his qualifications, they could say, he is rich, he is largely engaged in the manufacture of iron, He is very aspiring, and has great confidence in himself. He kaows the power of money. He never ar- gues political question, but conrerts with out coneincing. But will he vote for pro- tective tariff? Oh. yes! he will go strong for iron. I think, but as for woolen, cotton, and other interests, am not so sure that will depend upon circumstances. What will he do about reconstruction? He'll go for reconstruction; he will reconstruct the Union men out, the rebs in, and the freed- mon to bondage. How will he vote upon the currency question? Will he favor con- traction or expansion? think he will do both. He will expand to get hold of it, and contract when he gets it. .....
 How will he feel about confscation? Bill i, at home on that question. When he can, he confiscates, if he gets all the benefit. With him the rebs will be safe, but Union men must look out. I can't vote for Bill this time DAN. "DRUNK WITH PATRIOTISM. "-E Cleave- land (wich is Postmaster,) reports himself at Middletown as '' drunk with patriotism. " The same thing tangles Democratic legs prodigiously on election days. Among other tyrannfcal, unconstitutional edicts, black Republication has prohibited the sale or this sort of Patriotism. !"
