Snow, Mr.. Editor aforesaid,

Snow, Mr.. Editor aforesaid,
you must set your wits at work
to find some other gentleman
in the Democratic ranks to fill
the bill, for such a vast stock
OF talents and honesty, as are
so fortunately combined in our
fellow citizen, James Emmitt,
are not further to be wasted
by being even. spoken OF, as
the candidate of the Democra-
cy of Ohio, for its future Gov
ernor. 1t would sink US, as a
people, into utter insignii,
canoe, to have withdrawn from
our midst, a gentleman of such
rare combinations of charac-
ter, unless it were to place
him in a position where all
those rare qualities of charac-
ter could be called into full
requisition, and unbounded
scope given to their full exer-
cise."

and excellent whisky. The
evening passed off rapid! as
it always does, and Bill had, at
about one O'clock, become
pretty happy. Stepping up to
a young lady, he requested the
pleasure of dancing with her
she replied that she was en-
gagged.

highly indignant, and turned
on his heel.
After n few moments Bill
was accosted by a brother of
the young lady, who charged
him with insulting his sister.
Bill denies; but processes
himself willing to apologize if
he has done wrong, and accord
ingly steps up to the young
lady, when the following con-
versation ensued:
