Mr.. N. G. Brown being spoken ofas the

lican, and identified. as always am,
with the best interests of that party. in
this case feel constrained to say, that
no change is desired. The affairs of
the office have been conducted in an
eminently satisfactory manner by our
present competent and obliging P. M,
and the people are satisfied to have it,
so continued, even though Mr.. Harrison
occupies the Presidential Chair But
if we must have change, / am con-
fident that utter the popular senti-
ment of the community, democrat
and Republican, when say, that tax
ing into consideration the fact that
nearly one year of his term of Office
had expired before he took possession,
he should at least be permitted to fill
out his term. Mr.. Editor, this is but
simple justice, and hope that the pa
irons Of said office will so regard it.
