StOckdale over Judge Van Eaton,

Judge IL. S. Van Eaton whom
Col. Stockdale will succeed, is now
serving his second term in Congress
where he has emiHeutly distinguish
ed himself, and served his people
with fidelity aud ability. Judge
Van Eaton ranks amongst the first
men IN the present Congress; be is
a strictly revenue tariff Democrat,
a stalwart and outspoken enemy of
the Blair bill, aud a friend of all
those great measures which are
calculated to advance the best i'll

Eaton leaves will put his successor
