There is an adage often repeated that
the way to mans heart is through
his stomach, and to put the matter to
a fair test, and at the same time, if
possible, secure warm place in the
affections of our people, some kind
ladies Of our acquaintance will pre-
pare supper free gratis, for nothing,
at Franklin Hall, on the evening Of
Thursday. the 10Th inst.
We have been admitted behind the

will be wanting, that good caterers,
good cake and good taste can satisfy.
This good supper can be eaten with
the best of company for associates,
while good music will enliyen the &C.
casion. 1t may be that an admittance
fee to the Hall, will be asked by one
or two of the ruder sex, whom you
may meet on the stairs, but as we are
assured that they intend handing this
over TO the building fund of the new
Presbyterian Church to be, we hope
you will not be deferred by so triAing
a circumstance.

Let Justice be Done.

We hope the Returning Board will do its
duty fairly and honestly. If our political
opponents have q majority, let there be no
attempt to deprive them of the fruits Of
their victory. We regret the result of the
late election, but it is the duty of all good
citizens to submit to the will of the ma
jority. ..
In republic the majority must rule. If
they do not rule we'll and wisely that is
misfortune which must be borne peacefully
till such time as the majority of voters can
be induced to cast their ballots for the other
side.
If any man calling himself Republican
shall attempt. or propose to attempt, any
fraudulent counting out" Of Democrats
who are elected, or counting in Of Repnb-
Gcans who are defeated, we shall oppose
and denounce him without hesitation:
Every candidate who has received legal
majority fairly must be installed in the
Office 70 which the people have elected him.

Early in his life Banks seemed to inherit q
large portion of Middlesex county, and
though his claim has been disputed from
