Some remarks having been made by out
siders to the effect that sentiments expressed
by your correspondent are dictated or in

POLITICAL POINTS.
The Advertiser after denying that il was
or Bashaw or Williams for governor rs in
mated BY the BAzoo some time ago, de
lares in long editorial. for Hon. Jno w.
)raffen, of this city. While
Governor Drafien would please our
,eople immensely. but he has no chance of
our best chief magistrate. He,
however, is honest upright, a sterling
democrat and would make splendid gov
nor. With talents far above the average,
widespread reputation as a lawyer and
IN honorable and worthy citizen, none
Vould ell the office better than ]. w.

{ another. But it is not our purpose to
iscuss politics in letter that merely aims
