With to days issue of the Adeocats, its
participation in the fall campaign Isltels
minated; and we take occasion to, depart
from our usual rule, and say aonetllng
about ourself We are on the ticket, OF
our party for one of the most honorable
and distinguished places in the giftotl the
people Of the State. 1t is q position which
we did not seek, but on the contrary ,le
| WIS rendered to Us with such accompany
| ing conditions Of generosity, personal
| friendship and united fealty to an eleva-
ted standard of principles, that we could
not hesitate moment to yield our person
ai convenience and accept it. ,at.r,,,.
We have, on our part, undertaken-an
here it 10 pleasure also to say that our
distinga shed opponent has reciprocated
Ito conduct the campaign in an honora-
| bic manner, rigldly excluding, SO Tar 40
possible with our .,aper and with our IN.
| fi,ence elsewhere, all personal detraction.
| For the character of the State, whoeveris
elected to9hat high place should go into
lii with reputation, unsullied as possible
And tor this broad reason we ought to be
quite Is careful of the good name OF our
1 opponent as curown. We havetherefore,
!. while dscouraging all personal attacks
/ upon him, refrained from reply to any
upon ourself These, to do the other side
/ Justice have been few, and in no instance
worth attention. AS rule, our oppo-y
nents Of the party press have been manly
and just-only offering to tax, from auS
what we care little about, and might re-
cover at some other time, POLITICAL eleTa-
ton; and generous enough, to leave us
| with what we could not regain, good
reputation For this iairnessl now is Q
proper time to return our most gratetas

/ One word more. We have lived here
more than twenty three years; have had
/ business relations with almost every man
| in the county, and with thousands else

politics, or failure to stand up for home

1 we believe to be quite appreciated by our
i long time friends and neighbors. 1t 10
j therefore with a feeling of almost uncon-
Germ that we rest from this campaign and

takes us away from here temporarily

A strange story has got abroad in
Edinburgh recently, in regard to
an aged female pauper in the ST.
Cuthbert's poor-house. The woman
has been an inmate OF the poorhouse
for good many years, and, in addi-
ton to her other misfortunes. she had
been afflicted with blindness. Not
Hong ago. she was attacked with
| violent pain, such as the medical
officers could not understand, far
less relieve. 1t lasted the whole Of
tine night, and part Of the following
day, and was described as of such
nature that it threatened toi'.tear
her eyes out" AT last it reached
height; the poor woman for time
was left in state of semi-prostration
but to her delight, as soon as the
pain had passed off, she found that
her eyesight had been restored! One
can imagine the establishment of one
of the officers. when, shaking, him
heartily by the hands, she said: 81
have often shaken hands with you
before; [ have often heard your
voice and spoke to you. but never
have | seen your face till this morn
