The persistent effort of certain alleged
Democrats and the Republican newspapers
to make il appear that the Democracy o.

that each of the four districts will endorse

The Point Pleasant Register says that Mr.
Hogg will have no opposition to renOmina-

the power of dietatiou for this congressional
district, that it needs assume that neither

edge by its desire? 1t looks that way, aud
yet we wager that its editor is up to his old
tricks of prostituting his manhood for some
political Office, or promised appointment.
