usal determined to give the nomina-
ton to anybody the representatives
from East OF the mountains should
choose to name. With a singular
unanimity they presented Mr.. Burke,
and stated that it was the wish of
the people that be be nominated.
If they misrepresented that sentl-
ment, which We do not believe they
did, it Is the fault of either them
selves, or the people who delegated
power to make q selection to them.
The nomination was not sought by
Mr.. Burke, nor did he consent to al
low the use of his name until diligent
efforts had been made to find an as
pirant for Congressional honors
from the many able men of the
Union's own district of country.
That journal must not expect, with
all these facts before the people, TO
achieve any great degree of success,
in this endeavor to array the people
in hostile attitude against each
other. The favor with which Mr..
Burke's nomination has been re-
ceived, is owing to altogether differ
ent causes than which it would make
it appear. 1t is the contrast between
the two candidates which has pro-
duced revolution of popular senti-
lnent, q revolution which will extend
to the eastern counties as soon as
an opportunity is afforded them to
institute comparison between a
q live, energetic, capable represen-
tative, and one who has pro we'd by
his own acts his utter incompetency.

| UNDER REsTRAlNT.-The proverb
about "True love-" ETC., met with
another verifcatiou in the distant
land of Germany, few weeks ago,
in the experience of Mr.. Magnus, a
young man we'll known to our citizens
from several years residence in this
place. 1t appear that there is a law
in Faderland requiring applicants
for license to marry to furnish
proof that no legal impeachment ex-
lists to the proposed union. This
Dave was unable to give. Being to
all intents an alien, the stolid Ger
man authorities shook their heads in
doubt when he made application for
the coveted document, probably
basing a somewhat severe judgment
upon his delnure aspect and bare
spot on the top of his head. The
marriage was consequently postponed
until certificates and testimonials of
character could be obtained from
this far-off country. Last week the
proper papers were addressed to the
impatient youth in Berlin, and
doubtless ere many days he will be
reveling in '''''

been entered, rough assays have
been made, and from eighteen
pounds of rock were obtained eight
