attend.
a most revolving spectacle was pre-
scented on our streets yesterday, by a
young and good looking woman appear
ing in state of intoxication. She was
neatly dressed, and carried a small va
lise. She was followed by the jeers and
coarse taunts of the crowd, and seemed
perfectly Indifferent to decency.

our Republican friends, in each town
ship, will see that the returns of cleo
ton from their respective townships

place the whole vote for each candidate
opposite his name. Let US here from
each township as soon as possible.

House on Wednesday evening, was a
fine effort, although the audience was
very small, owing to change in the
place of meeting after it had been ad-

and his views were expressed in so clear
& manner that they carried much force
with them. The speech should have
been listened to by full house.
