SALISBURY, March 9th, 1871.

as'i' sHf SALISBURY, March 9th. 1871.
 MIR. ED1roR:-Once again old iron bound Salisbury is tossed on the sea of political excitement. The great unwashed of the 4th Congressional District. in biennial pow-wow assembled, once more have chos- en Glorious Bill for their candidate. The Republicans, however, no sooner proclaim Hon. George Coffng as their standard bearer, than great commotion arises in the ranks of the unterrifed. At first, in tones lugubrious, they express their sor, row, ''that man of Mir. Cofing's undoubt- ed worth should be doomed to meet with inglorious defeat, and kindly intimate '.it would be eminently proper for MT. Cofing to decline the nomination, as the honor was not only unsought but actually forced upon him." MT. Coffng. however, tho nominated contrary to his earnest wishes, does not follow out their suggestion, but, as in duty bound, accepts. Then howl of unmistakable wrath and disappointment, rolls through their ranks and, to meet this formidable opponent, the leaders of the 'fTammany" of the 4th District, hold high conclave, concoct deep plot, the corner. stone of which is Greenbacks, and Big Lix" sends forth his mandates and distri- butes freely the clements of success to the controllers of tens and twenties, who at once diligently apply themselves to gath ering in and numbering their focks, ran sacking the by roads and hedges so anx- ious are they that none shall lose the in estimable privilege of voting for Glorious Bill. 1as i5 .a.-ss s1, .i'f",-15# !5t ."l lh
 Occasionally, too, they drive into their fold stray black sheep, (not always easily distinguishable however in color from the original article).a This last accession
 invariably draws forth a prolonged shout of exultation that there are some few blacks willing to support those who have opposed SO long and so strenuously their receiving the rights of freemen. This bus tie and desperate wire-pulling is some what in distinction from the ''masterly in
 activity that prevailed previous to MT. Cofing's acceptance. 'i .a1''' '1a | An, my Democratic friends, though you profess to consider the Republican party g corps en-Coffn (g)ed, your actions belle your words; for no corpse ever filled you with such lively sense of fear as you now discover. Too late, you'll feel that rapid decline has wasted your ranks. following a severe COPYING fit that seizes upon many
 hitherto regarded Democrats ''after the straightest sect" Remember that as Cal
 flesh is grass even your Iron Bill mus
 succumb to Cofin(g). TICK.

 The new library books arrived about a week since, and after being covered and were first let out to subscribers on Monday evening, Feb. 9th. Fifty or more volumes were drawn. Persons who are not regular subscribers can have the use of the Library for one dollar year. As a provision for contingent fund each drawer of book pays two cents for it's use; and if at any time there be competition in regard to the first reading, the highest bidder secures the preference. 7 g5 Fata
 -Se far as your correspondent is aware, the only poet in town is our lawyers Col. Augustus. III. Fem, who, when mere youth, published small but interesting volume of poems, and who, if mistake not, has since contributed number of poetic articles to the public press. Whether the Col. is preparing to publish another vol ume during his lifetime I cannot say. Perhaps he is laying by,in store. to be pub lished after his death, fifty years hence, It may be,however, that instead of waiting for an uncertain posthumous reputation, he is all along turning his rhyming talent to practical account in his legal conflicts so that he does. o &s4A'' %s odT Full often his opponent hit,
