There is the evidence, gentle reader,
and now dare you doubt that the Hon

not clear and undonbted, is, that some
thoughtiess friends, may, from consid
ertions Of mercy and sympathy, dislike
to replace the gentleman upon the ''Con-
gressional treadmill,'' where he will be
forced to wear away his precious life;
but to all such, we commend them to the
example Of John Rodgers martyr at
the stake for righteousness sake. Mar

why not Wayne County have one?

That is not all the advice, gentlemen

(you are not bound to take it, of course.
but inasmuch as all the Republican
members of the last General Assembly,
(who were present when-the vote was
taken, voted to legislate the Honorable
gentleman would be martyr, out OF, and
off from, his Congressional tread MILL
it would certainly be evidence of your
wisdom, to have your pockets full of the
precious document; 50 you can read
them, and If needs be, dilate upon them,
for they are all, in he-language of the
author, ..'malignants,' and need CONVEX
sion before you can hope to succeed
with them, at least, in influencing the
general sentiment of the State in favor
ofthe Honorable gentleman.
Lest the evidence and instructions
may not be, by u.s.. well understood,
and perhaps by you, we beg to suggest
that you take pains to read your litAo-
graphs to the democratic members Of the
last General Assembly-the were not
"malignants," for they unitedly voted
against legislating the Honorable gen
tleman, out of Congress, or out. of his
much coveted tread mill of misery and
woe These gentlemen may do much to
influence the sentim ent Of the. State for
