EDIroR CITIES "A great deal
has been said about supplying our
city with water Here is my plan,
and I think the cheapest and best:
Build a tank on the side Of the hill
above Cave Spring, high enough up
the hill to be slightly above the lev
Ell of the town, and hire some boy
with his Eiule to pump this tank full
of water each morning from the
spring below. Pipes communieat-
ing with this tank and leading over
the whole town would thus be con
tinually supplied with wat,r at a
small expense. Letour newly elect
ed Mayor call down the blessings
Of al Pulaski upon his head by set
ting the aforementioned appendage
to the accomplishment Of this end.

In the name of third of the delegates,
and he believed large majority of the
members of his district, he protested
against the nomination of Cadwalader
G Nashburn. He would infinitely pre-
fer that his portion of the State should
go unrepresented in the Executive
chair, than that Mr.. Washburn's nom
ination should be palmed upon us as
the choice of his district. He endorsed
the statement of the capacity of the
9th district to poll large Republican
major tics, and the best evidence in
the case, was their ability to roll up
these majorities when they were COM
