popularity of Mr. Hursi's nomination
increase. All the vclpirg m incen.

the fact that Mr.. Hurst is the right

From Westminster .ld,ocutc.
The Democratic candidate comes
before the people fairly and honor
ably nominated. He stand for new
assessment of all the property in the
State, the one great issue .! the day,
and he is wholly un;rammclled hy
promises to any one. What Democrat
could ask more? and the Democrat
who is not satisfied after reading Mr..
Hurst'> letter is not much interested
in the success Of the party and the
triumph of Democratic principles. He
is not in favor Of party organization
and Of majority rule.

From Cairch .JomHai.
The whole truth rs We have stated
