Blackflsh Hoard Prom.

Ar. 0dlt0R:-
 In . recent communication by your Wheatley correspondent, the claim was made that Wheatley township in the late election, was the banner democratic dis
 trict. Now, Dot wishing to detract any thing due the good democrats of that town ship. for they did their duty, fully and well. and gave us biz majority, but the
 writer of this insists that Blackflsh town ship is entitled to the credit of being the banner democratic baitiwick of St. Fran els county. Bisckfsh township's vote
 was six-seventh. or S3 per cent for the democrats. while Wheatiey township, gave threefourtEis. or ;5 per cent of her vote for the democratic ticket.
 It is not out of place to say that more
 than once has Blacktish snatched victory
 right from the jaws Of defeat, and in [
 close contest the democrats always say
 wait until Back6sh is heard from, before
 acknow edging de:aat. BLAcKFisH.
