Oourisr, a paper which is nothing un-
less it is depunciatory, goes for the peo-
pc Of the First Congressional District
in o manner whose vigor was scarcely
equalled by that OF Truthful James,
in his little encounter with the Heath.
en- Chlnee."
We are told the people Of the Third
District have constantly been called
upon to vote isvors" to US up this way !;
that they have done the voting for the
Democracy in all the straits OF the par
ty; ;and have supported several meas
ures and candidates, not exactly to their
liking, simply TO oblige their brethren
in other parts Of the State"
Will cur contemporary be little more
specific? Would it spoil his retoric
or injure the ring of his sentences were
he to name the measures and candl-
dates not exactly to their liking" they
have been supporting simply to oblige'
us in this section? We are curious to
know, you know.
Hereafter, we are told, the people o!
the Third District will "act indepeu-
IDENTIFY" Hereafter their votes
for appropriations, for measures
OF legislation and for candidates will
be given to those who can honestly ap.
pprecia;e and faithfully reciprocate
them. That is, five rightly under
stood the tone, State Institutions found .
ed by the humanity of all our people
for the care Of unfortunate fanatics; In
stituuons for the protection OF society
by the restraint Of criminals; lnstitu-
tons for the education Of the youth oi
the whole State, which happen TO be
located outside OF the sacred Third D.s-
trict shall be made the subject OF
trade and a dicker" OF faithful recl-
procity," to administer to the capricea'
the ambitions, the spites, OF the aspir-
ing gentlemen o. that section. We
suppose we are to consider this notice
as having been duly served.
Our curiosity is again aroused by the
following pointed sentence: They h;
people of the Third District rate at Its
proper value the proposition made them
the other day, that the First District
would allow the Capital to remaia here
II the Third District woald give up
Braxtou county" Will our candid
c5temporary tell what thrifty Yankee
from the First District made the propo'
sal to "reciprocate?' And what did
he want with Braxton county? An
answer is solicited. Insiuustons and
iuuendoes are. mot sufficient.
But the coolest sentence in the whole
article runs thus: 1--WE carried fol
them the contest out OF which came
the right OF some OF them 10 sit in oul
public halls" When we consider that
ten men were erfranchised in the Third
District to one in the First, by the
measure referred to. the frigidity of the
sentence will be appreciated. But here
we 60 again:
1--WE expect them to do all that cal
be done, to keep the people OF this sec
ton OF the State harnessed to the Dem
ocratic car, we to pull and they to rid
and drive. That sort Of thing will no
be submitted to, and while we ar
about il, we may as well cay that if th'
portion OF the State which has tskel
upon itself to send US all our grea
statesmen, continues to put men IN tn
Legislature, who have no more idea
lsw.making than yoke OF steers, an

the people not only OF this but OF a

happier in seeing the Government
