Having received an epistle in
which he is .old that he may hope,
the stricken swain wishes that he
had wings to fly to the object of
his affections, aud desires not to be
laughed at for expressing that wish.
After sending his lady love a lengthy
extract from a county newspaper,
which details his many virtues and
advocates his claims for Congress,
Davis again writes:

A STARTLING DENUMENT.

himself to be, and if he were really
