Messrs. Editors /.

Messrs. Editors:
have seen a compuni-
cation in your paper over
the signature of "A Greasy
Mechanic" calling attention to the
unmanly and disgraceful course Of
electioneering against Mr.. Boteler
on account of his being poor man.
liked the tone and spirit of ME
chanic's " article. Mr.. Boteler isa
poor man, but the men who cleo
tioneer against him on this account
forget to say that Mr., Boteler lost
all his accumulations by. going Sc
curity. He is an open-hearted,
generous man, and endeavored to
help along all who asked him, by
endorsing for them. The conse-
quence was that he was obliged to
pay large sums of money. He be-
came poor in trying to help along
other people. Does this disquali-
fy him from representing the peo-
pie in Congress Perhaps Mr.
Faulkner has not been so accom-
modating in going on paper, or if
so, has not been SO unfortunate as
to have to pay large amounts, but
this does not make him any more
fitted to represent the people than
Mr.. Boteler. Besides, such cleo
pioneering is not manly, and ought
to be rsbuked by all right think
ing men.

A PAIR OF 'EM.-It seems that
other folks beside eurself 60 hunt
ing, and with the same result. Our
friend Mr.. Jacob Trammel-he of
Strincsville-went out Oh Tuesday,
and took with him Mr.. Hugh
Hartman. They went to Falling
Waters. Mr.. Hartman was induced
to 60 on being assured by Mr..
Trammel that there were barrels
of squirrels" in the woods along
the Potomac, They had provided
themselves with large stores Of
ammunition. But il was all for
naught. They tramped safound
all day Tuesday, expended about
a quarter of ton, more or less,
of ammunition, and killed two cedar
birds. Trammel got tired ,ani pro-
posed to shoot mark. He stuck
an apple against tree, and fired
several shots at #, missing tree
and apple, cp and clear. AS a
shootist he is not q success. Night
coming on they sought quarters at
a farm house, where they were
kindly treated and Jared sumptu-
ously. They visited a fish basket
during the night and got an idea
of how the cells run in. When they
left the farm house after breakfast
on Wednesday morning, the excel
lent lady of the house offered them
lot of cells to take along. Tram
mel thanked her. but said they
would have considerable game to
carry, and the cells would make it
burdensome. We met them
at Failing Waters on Wednes-
day noon. They had no game
Trammel said there Was none in
the country. He regretted he did
not accept the cells. Hartman says
he throws up the sponge and goes
out of the business. When they
came back they got off The cars at
the Cumberland Valley depot, and
made for home down the cross
streets and alleys.

been a life long member If one

asking question through your
bold and Independent Journals.
Election day II close and we should
all know where men stand. Fanlk-

Congress. Boteler says in his adj
dress that his principles have never
changed. Will Mr.. Faulkner or

which has he been either Of, and

We know you will be glad to
hear of the prospects of our friend
Charles Davies in the present cam
paign. Ii Berkeley and Morgan
will do HALF of what they ought
to do for him, he will be trium.
phantly elected, for Jefferson will
give him double the number Of
votes that any other man carrying
the same banner conld hope to re-
ceiye. His position on the Free
School, and County Court question,
together with his acknowledged
ability and we'll merited general
popularity, renders him the mort
formidable antagonist that Old
Fogyism has ever encountered in
this county, and we congratulate
him on his certain triumph. We
also congratulate this Senatorial
District on the opportunity ii has
to do itself honor in the eyes of
the whole State by his election,
and we envy the State capital the
treat it will enjoy, next winter,
while listening to his brilliant wit,
reminding one of his immortal
c0untryman, Currin
We particularly recommend him
to the friends of Free Schools, for
he is proverbial for his enthusiasm
in the cause Of popular education,
and If the ladies had votes we
would recommend him TO them
also, for he is their devoted SER

good looking fellow, aud single.
