Judge Taylor to be Noegled.

DAVID NoGGLE was once Judge of the
Southern Circuit of this State he was Pc
euliarly educated and speIt God with lit
tie f"j;" he was also very ambitious of a
reelection. and when holding his last term
of Court in the several counties Of his Cir
cult, he teok care that some good friend
circulated a letter addressed to him to be
come a candidate for reelection Z; this let
ter was signed by all the attorneys, grand
and petit jurors and citizens generally !:
every man who saw the letter signed it, for
fear that if he failed to do so, and NoGGLE
Should be elected, he might be made to suf-
fer as attorney or party in Courts. tlI9
NoGGLE found he had by actual counts
large majority of the names of the'votcrs
of his Circuit signed to these 'calls, F"
which he carried in the pocket nearest lis
heart, and felt secure Of his election but
one fair day dozen men quietly assembled
in one town in his Circuit and nominated
LYON, and the people elected him by an
overwhelming majority over DAVE NoG-
GLE; so it will be with DAVE TAYLOR, the
calls upon him will have no more poten-
cy on the day of election than they had in
the case of NoGGLE; and of course he will
be badly Noggled by the people, who will
elect MCLEAN by large majority
