We congratulate the people of this

majorities had been overwhelming,
and it was with many misgivings that
the Conservatives started out to work
for victory on that day. But they
succeeded and we rejoice with them
in their exceeding joy. We have
heard many compliments paid to the
fairness and firmncss of the managers
as also to NJ. I. Browning, Esq, for
the admirable manner Tin which he
acted as challenger. Where all did
so nobly is hard TO discriminate, but

Probate Judgship.

On the 2Sth of this month a most
glorious triumph of principles was
accomplished in this ono long God
for saken county. Samuel Dibble
Esq was elected by large majority
as the representative Of honest home
Government, to the Legislature
1hls is a great triumph but It's
the beginning, We the people want
this thing to 80 on. The opportunity
IS now offered to keep up the good
work. On Tuesday next the election
for one of the most important Offices
ofthe County has been ordered, the
Office of Probate Judge. The eau
dldate we offer our paop1e is ons who
is honest, faithful experienced and
w'thal capital lawyer (Which is a
very necessary qualification for such
an ottice) is CHARLES B. GLOVER,
Esq. The people are called upon to
come out and vote for Mr.. Glover if
they arc desirous of crrrying out the
principles announced by the lust
election. II our pcopl, have any
regard for their own interests; if they
wish onece again to SEQ good ncn in,
office: if once again they desire to
recognize merit, and to put aside
partisan feelings will, that view, let
them como out ono and all AMI vote
for Mr.. Glover.
He has, We believe, no cnemies
among the colorcd people. We are
sure all Of his own people admire
him, bat don't let that fact blind us
to tho necessity ofturning out for his
support. Too much confidence may
defeat us, by keeping US quicts. while
some one may be at the last momen t
spring upon us against Mr. Glover.
Como out and work, work, and wo
have one more good representative of
principles of the highest kind.
