Hon. Frank Hereford.

We are glad to think that there will DC
no serious opposition to the reelection Of
our distinguished and talented representa-
tive in Congress. Information from all
parts of the District indicates entire appre-
val, on the part Of bis constituents, OF bis
past political course and an earnest andu
auimous desire to retain him in the public
service. "a
No man in the State rendered more un-
firing service, or was more prodgal Of his
time, labor and money in the last canvass.
which brought relief to thousands of our
best citizens and overthrow, we trust for
ever, the reign Of Radical prescription
in our midst, than Maj Hereford. lfany
man is entitled to Office, at the hands OF
the people, Major II. certainly deserves
