Probably your readers will like 10 hear
something more oil this ancient town.
Your correspondent "Rustic" told you
something Of the senatorial Rspiranis-
something ol the aspirations Of that
great and good man" Judge Gideon D.
Camden. "Rustic" is little loo hard on
the "poor old man." Judge Camden has
done the State somo service and ought 10

WALKER AS A CANDIDATE.
Since reading "Rustic's" letter have
