strong ticket before the p ,ople Of thi
city. The absence Of any attempt Il
contes. the no min alton Of Mr.. Belts fol

House OF Representatives, was indica
tive CT desire on the part Of the par

Snd who fully represent a city Of suol
commercial and manufacturing import
anse as Wilmington. 1t will not b
dispsrag ny whatever to the gentlemen
