cumstances-- The Major having been duly
elected last TALL TO this sflce, and, through
no fault of his--never having even
dreamed that he was not bona tide citi-
ZEN for had he not offered his life and
came near losing it in the defence of the
country ?)-ha,ing been declared ineli
gib.e. for the only reason that tue form
Of naturalization hail not been gone
through with in his case, we feel free to
prefer him to ans one else who may be
brought forward. Justice, patriotism,
and manifest duty, alike appeals to the
Union party to again nominate and elect
him. and we have confidence in the pa
tvs integrity to believe it will obey
these potent prompters.

Iungrateful,' now is the time to show
faith in works." by rallying to the sup
