JAMES KeNNEDY, the Democratic
candidate for Assessor in the Northern
District is gentleman well qualified for
the Office he has been nominated for
He has long been resident and property
holder In the district, and will if elected
discharge his duty we'll and faithfully
The Republican majority at the last
Assessors election in the District, three
years ago was ALP, which may be hard
to overcome; but Mr.. Kennedy assures
us that he has strong hopes of carrying
the district and of an elect ion by small
majority. Every Democratic voc should
be cast in his favor. We have no obj &C.
ton to urge against Mr.. Provost, we
think he has made the best Assessor the
District has ever had, and if Republi-
can is to fill the position, Mr.. Provost is
no doubt the best choice his party can
make. Still he has had the office fol
three years and we hope the Democrats
will turn out and elect Mr. Kennedy
who we are sure will endeavor to dis.
charge the duties Of the Office as salts
factorilly as they have been by any ont

Nh EDIroRl: The nas,es ot our people

bodines ard daily in their thoughta They
are recommsnd ded % ''eo westp How are
to get West They have not even suffi-
cient food aud clothing now and the fear Of
severe winter aud no work before them.
Then in view of these things what should
the Democrats do In the coming election 2
Our taxes are unbearable. w must have
more labor to vnuble the people TO pay
heavy taxes and interest. II the democrats
only dare to take up the cause of the poor
man now in his great trial for bread and
other necessaries OF life they will come IN to
the Council With flying colors.
Let us inscribe upen our banners and
upon our tickets. "Free markets and re-
dueed taxes" Then put up good men and
we can elect our men in every ward.
That skulking sale of the Republicans
last fall 10 the butchers of this city is a
nostrils Of all good citizens, and the spark
ling spirits OF '76 are still alive in our pso-
pie, all they ask is for you to fing the cry
OF justice to the breeze and they will leave
the party that sold their honor for the
trlaing 9 OF City Coun Gilman.
Mr.. Editor-How is it possible for men
in the commencement of second hundred
e,n OF the reign OF democracy TO be so
wholly given up to the God of anon as to
worship at an altar where every sense oi
manhood is left at the door ? II these men
! will sell their constituents for so low, paltry
and mean thing as a seat In the kenneli
of our dogged council. What would they do
If power were placed within their reach
1t looks as il they would sell their country
and run to Spi to hide their guilt. The
injustice done to the peo pie of Wilmington
by driving the farmers out OF our Market is
simply great and intolerable, and it shows
great fol bearance on tue part OF the people
tnat they have suffered this tyranny and
tramphng OF their most sacred rights under
foot SO long. 1t has only needed some on c
to head petitions aud such a mass o names
roll up before Council that they would be
obliged to he'd them.
| No Republican is en- titled to a single
vote at this coming ci'y eiecl,on for any
o cial whose hands are stained with thai
candallziug outrage upon every class o.
citizens.
We must and will have tree markets and
duced taxes. A SUFFERER.

The District Judgeship.

A Washington special on Tuesday after
noon says 1t is rumored that Benjamin T.
Fifleld of Montpelier, now United States
attorney, is to be appointed United States
district judge for Vermont. This Iumor
will probably be confirmed by his nomina-
tion to-day or tomorrow. Mr.. Fifeld is a
lawyer of conceded ability, although yet
comparatively young man. He studied
law with the late Hon. Lucius B. Peck,
and after his admission to the bar was his
partner until Mr.. Peck's death. He has
administered the office of district attorney
with satisfaction, and will undoubtedly be
judge acceptable TO the bar and to the
people.
