melons a nd Polled Angus chickens; can show
lis by actual experiment the fruits Of raising
sheol with the Commissioners; can prance
out horse raddish sired by u full-blOoded

the republican cause, and care nothing for
the partisan squabbles OF those who style
themselves politicians and try to live at the
public expense. However, il he wants

ma terial interests Of the country, we will
try and accommodate him.--Iiusba ndman.
